Speak for yourself, I love how current demo plays, I want a buff pls. Thanks.
As a warlock main, i actually enjoy the current “Summoner” Demo gameplay. Something exciting and different.
all it needs is a little adjustment, more instant casts, maybe even more summons, perhaps put consumption into baseline and such, and it will be a very fun and unique class to play.
I don’t want the psudo DH back.
yea not a issue. like what you like.
i can speak for myself and i clearly see others like mindedly angry at this spec.
but we can both agree that theres issues with this spec that needs addressing that 10% wont fix… right?
it was far from that.
Absolutely. It needs more mobility, you’re right that a turret spec isn’t fun. But, an aura buff on top of old Grimoire of…what’s it called again? The one that’s basically spiritwalker’s Grace, except without the permanent uptime. Allowing me to turret to DPS and have mobility sometimes would make the spec an absolute banger. As it is, I’m hoping the 9.0.5 buffs are enough to allow me to bust out demo for fortified weeks at least. Affliction is fun, but I like a little variety.
Edit: Kil’jaeden’s Cunning. Bring that back.
Kiljaeden’s Cunning.
Rhielle… Darling…
Those words wound me…
Deep.
Why not make a talent that has an option to become one?
oh not the grims. thats kiljadens cunning you are thinking about.
grimories where sac, supremacy, and summon.
id agree that would help across the board with warlocks.
i dont think blizzard will return it but id love it.
just let us become the demonic tyrant, reintroduce the demonic leap. touch of chaos ontop ez pz lemmon breazy life will be great
Bingo.
The drawback of demo, is its inability to maintain damage on the move.
This doesn’t need an overhaul to correct, but tweaks, and tubing.
In this case, a Substantial buff to SS is in order, as even now is a dead talent, however it doesn’t need to be, as we have a lot of synergy with demonbolt that if a flat buff to SS was added, would give us a very strong sustained damage profile.
But the real meat, is NP.
NP is essentially a 45 second burst period, nearly a minute and some change if you count starting to bank cores.
That’s a very, very, long burst window to have.
NP having another round of buffs to its demons and allowing to to work based on Shards used vs shard dumps to boost it far beyond its current damage profile, beyond tyrants profile, will change our specs profile as a whole.
The damage increases seen in either of these talents basically warp our profile into, very large chunks of damage from turreting, dropping off, and performing another larger chunk of our damage profile.
Similar to burst, but involving more ramp up, for a larger and longer profile.
Tyrant, would likely drop a tad below the other two, however, as I said, with FTS once again applying to tyrant would give it the de facto choice in aoe as Decons drop off would be far less severe, the way the drop offs on NP and SS are.
What I’m getting at, is simply applying into these buffs, (ontop of pet timer halts when unable to act on a target), would cause our damage profile to essentially be the highest patchwerk profile in the game, but being balanced with its drop offs, as our high profile would compensate for this.
We don’t need the mediocre stance dance demo, we need targeted tuning changes. Changes that are far more realistic, because right now a complete overhaul is asking for something that just isn’t.
NECROTIC PLAGUE???
We don’t take kindly to your dk types round here boy

But I have a Realmmate to buff. She’s a Necrolord Warlock that’s mainly Demonology.
theres allot more on that list then just that one grievance…
It’s really the only one that matters.
Pretty much, yup. Some of us were yelling this after the Implosion nerf in BFA.
That said, I still had a lot of fun with BFA demo, up until 5 mask visions made me quit the game.
They still don’t want you playing Demonology.
…
you dont consider your demonic tyrant after consuming imp energy getting cc’d an issue?
you dont consider imps peddle stepping towards your enemy then expiring without a single bolt fired not an issue?
our reliability of hard casting everything isnt an issue?
or the inability to safely get away from melee after getting jumped without hardcore preping isn’t a issue?
as much as i love demon its basically survival at this point and probably wont ever receive attention for anything but solo content
Addressed by Demon timer halts for twice the pets duration as mentioned above.
Addressed by the same change as just mentioned.
Addressed by having our damage profile while not moving pushed much higher, thus becoming a more balance tug of war via massive damage profile while casting, being balanced by the large drop offs.
A pvp specific concern, easily rectified by allowing the Instant dreadstalker talent apply to all None HoG summons.
Still grumpy over losing Metamorphis huh ![]()
demon has never been about mobility ever
and honestly it shouldnt be about mobility
