I main DH lol, just looking to play some lock for fun. I see demo locks often, but is demo easier than say affliction?
From all 3 warlock specs, Destruction is the easiest, Affliction isn’t very hard in single but can become as you compound targets on it (or used to be…in stacked aoe its literally just sow the seeds and keep agony around)
Demonology isn’t a 7headed hydra of complexity, once you understand it in fact, its quite simple.
but it does require some knowledge of a few mechanics of the spec.
You can find guides at
there will be some differences here or there, but nothing major.

Demo suffers from the same things that Venthyr boomy suffers from.
If you can plant your feet to cast on your damage windows you’re golden. Any movement kills your damage though.

I think with some awareness of the fight, and temperance to known when its better to delay a little or finish a tyrant quickly this issue can be reduced, and once the tyrant setup is done, you can move again without feeling like your legs are breaking.
but it’s still there, and if the fight pushes you too much its ver enraging.
I believe, if we see some improvements to Soul Conduit in order for it to be on par with GFG in single target you would drastically reduce the Decon difficulty, as you can “always restart” the setup while also switching a little the damage from a tyrant window and more across the fight.
If we see improvements to Sacrificed Souls the same thing would happen, as it would be a talent who punishes you less on tyrant windows.
As for outside of Tyrant windows, demonology is decently mobile, lots of Instant Casts from Demonic Calling and Demonbolts.
In BG’s Aff is pretty easy to get into as even if you’re playing bad you’ll feel good about yourself with BG damage.
But realistically I’d probably say Demo. Face value I think Destro is easier, but Destro can be shut down easier.
