Demonology 8.3 PvP Guide

Hey All;

I make these guides from time to time to help the Demonology Community and hopefully it might answer a few questions or help those seeking to enjoy Demo in PvP/Arena in this last season of BFA. It is based on my setup and thoughts about demonology and obviously people might run slightly different things or tweak things based on their personal preference.

I also occasionally stream at twitch.tv/epicburn but I am super inconsistent so that is not always a thing.

This guide touches on everything.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to make a guide, Epicburn.

I figure we got months until Slands messes up everything again and I might as well go over everything for a new set of Demos or a small refresher course for existing demos who want to double check everything.

Under appreciated guide, if you want to find out how to shotgun people properly on a lock, id check it out

Thank you, I figure since so many feel pigeonheld into Destro till Slands it shows what can be done with Demo.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about this one. I watched it literally the day it was uploaded but meant to come back to it as I was kinda busy at the time.

Thanks maing!

Can you post videos of you doing 2s and 3s?, like I’d like to see how you react vs a rogue or DemonHunter or unholy.

Most pvp vids online the warlocks always are able to free cast, I’m in the 1750 bracket, I literally just get focused so hard every time, vs an unholy DK it’s pretty much GG if they got a healer.

2s comp I literally struggle against is Rogue/Unholy/Dh with a disc priest, they literally have so much utility and mobility it’s insane… it’s like the match is over before it started.

Just trying to get to 1800… no matter the essences or pets, they literally stick on me to the point I can’t even get a cast off.

Just I’ve read so many guides it’s easy to say do this do that, but would like some visual help in the same situation I’d be in.

If you actually go to my twitch you can see me and my Resto Druid doing some twos and I need to post more threes.

edit; since we hit 2.4+ in 3s its been increasingly harder to get my druid to play for more then 2-3 matches a que session in 3s since now its the grind phase and he doesn’t care so its harder to turn on stream for a couple wins.

great guide epicburn!

As reward for your insanely nice comment.

That damage wow. My buddy ran into “demonciliy” a couple weeks ago around 1900 and couldn’t heal through the demo damage. Always fun to see lower used specs get some love.

Every time I see someone doing arena on twitch, and hear “literally” it makes me think of crusader freaking out.

Hopefully I didn’t give you too many crusader vibes lol.

There is something wrong with that man…

As far as temper I think you’re the polar opposite :rofl: wow is balanced after all

Not during Covid.

High CR Social distancing

My healer has been Distancing himself from actually queuing for a month.

Hey, Demoniclily! I’ve been following you for quite some time: both you and Epicburn! You guys give us demo locks hope that demo can be and is viable for pvp content as well as pve. With that being said, why Doom? I armoried you and saw that you were running it. You aren’t the only high rated demo lock that uses it either. I’ve googled it and searched it many times: so why use Doom? Thanks for your time!

Doom does big dam!
