Method ranked warlocks top ranged dps 8.3 raid

Pretty much this

fire mage is nutty and BM is just corruption stacking. there were still multiple warlocks in each WF/WS raid, so instead of S++ tier were just S tier

Didn’t they say 3 weeks ago that all 3 specs were the worst. Now they say they are the best? i’m lost here.

I’ve really been enjoying demo, single target wise. I’ve pulled up to 115k at the beginning of fights. I’m not a very experienced raider i’m only doing heroics atm but it seems like i’m usually top 1-3 dps in my groups as demo.

I’m sure at super high level raiding demo falls off but for the average pve’er I find it very enjoyable. I get people whispering me ā€œis demo actually goodā€ because they’re surprised at the DPS. It just really requires specific azerite traits. Only thing that sucks is that it’s very RnG with vision major, also having very high mind flay corruption procs.

Yup, Warlocks are doing well.
The above statistic does not take into account the fight-by-fight requirements of playing a Warlock.

From Wrathion with Aff being top 4:

Destro and Aff doing extremely well in Skitra:

Top three mythic teams that have cleared the Raid, have multiple Warlocks in both Aff and Destro, while Demo isn’t horrible in raid, does well in M+ (where Aff falls behind).

Considering the final bosses of Mythic have but a handful of parses, the above results can be skewed in the later stages.

On looking at Heroic, it’s a very different sight, with Aff being a top 5 spec for the summary:

And if one looks further into the Heroic fights, #1 on multiple encounters.

Don’t believe the naysayers, Warlock is doing very well for raiding!
