Yes, 5 Warlocks Can Do It — Our Beta Experiment Worked!
When we started Demons R Us, we wanted to see whether five Warlocks and their demons could clear dungeons without traditional tanks or healers. Turns out, they absolutely can!
We’ve cleared every dungeon during Beta, including runs with just three Warlocks. Some wipes, plenty of chaos, but nothing we couldn’t overcome.
Our little experiment has grown into a community of over 140 Warlocks, and we’re taking it beyond Beta! EU and US Alliance PvE guilds are already planned for launch, with more chapters hopefully following.
If you want to join the madness, whether you’re a Warlock or just curious, come hang out with us!

Who needs tanks and healers when you have MORE WARLOCKS?

That’s because any class can clear dungeons up to level 35-40ish at level.
Might not be possible once you get to Ulda. Definitely won’t be by the time you hit Mara.

Can you explain why you think that? Five things to consider:
-
Five Voidwalkers can split incoming damage across multiple pet tanks instead of relying on one tank.
-
Health Funnel lets every Warlock heal their own pet without needing a dedicated healer.
-
Soulstones and Healthstones give us recovery and emergency survival options.
-
Fear, Seduction and Banish provide crowd control that many conventional dungeon groups can’t match.
-
Five Warlocks bring sustained DoT damage, pet damage, Life Tap and Drain Life for additional sustain.
We’re not claiming every dungeon will be easy. But we’re also not just five random DPS trying to replace a tank and healer. We’re using a completely different strategy.
So what exactly happens in Uldaman or Maraudon that makes our setup impossible? Which boss or mechanic, specifically? I’d genuinely like to hear your reasoning rather than just a prediction.

I love that you tried this. Idk if I want to main warlock again after maining it for 25 years, but if I do, I’ll look you up. I bet you could absolutely do higher level stuff. I wonder what a raid of warlocks could do.

I posted some videos on youtube, but none of us is a real streamer … I’m just a Warlock with OBS … but it’s something. Once launched, I’ll go crazy with the footage … but we have pictures from every dungeon run available on Beta on our Discord
And, yes, we will absolut do any dungeon w/o any problem … I’ve done it, he has not!

Warlocks can clear the final boss of Mara solo. It was a common farm lol

I almost might change back to warlock from hunter after seeing this idea. This is funny stuff.

I only wish I had recorded all of my/our runs … it is too easy with 5 locks! Join us for some last runs later on Beta … or just park an Alt-Lock in guild come launch … or better: PLAY HIM! … and, yes, your hunter is also welcome.

Not much a Voidwalker would die to 1 or 2 hits from the boss, even with 10-20 voidwalkers you can’t stall that much to actually kill the boss in time
We can summon a new VW once in 0.5, after that in 6 seconds … it’s non-stop VW!
Great to read that Warlocks have finally discovered the power of friendship.

Good on your guys. This is the kinda stuff that brings soul into the game.
Or drains soul, one of the two.

Well after level 40, incoming damage goes way up to compensate for the fact that tanks get plate and healer output is much higher.
Without healing it’s going to be really hard to get through stuff like primordial behemoths in mauradon, or flameguard destroyers in BRD (maybe not the best example since they can be banished). The incoming damage on some parts of those dungeons is extremely high, and without true taunts I imagine you need to throttle your damage to keep the voidguards at the top of the threat table.
with like 4 voidguards and some good tactics I imagine you can get through quite a few dungeons. But after around blackrock depths, it’s going to be pretty rough. I cannot imagine it will work in someplace like strat undead, scholomance, or BRS without some source of healing to offset the incoming damage.
Either way, seems super fun to try. These kinds of challenges that challenge assumptions and use creative tactics are always awesome to see. I’m rooting for your UBRS video
Lock ain’t my class but I’m 100% following yalls progress.
Awesome.

You can do similar with hunters, the mana management is a bigger challenge - no life tap. But I would imagine quite possible.
Hehe, this is fun.
I’ll be maining a Lock, I’m definitely gonna hit you guys up.
Also, considering the tank/healer shortage most are expecting, this seems like a great alternative.
