Demonology 3.3.5 PVE DPS
Introduction
Demonology warlock is a must for 25man raiding and even for 10man raiding it is amazing. Demonology gives so much spellpower you can't go without it, and we have not mentioned every other supports and utilities the warlocks can provide. With a warlock you can always get a spot.
Talent
With this talent you can do the best dps, checked every variations but this is the best you can have. Master Summoner can have 2 talent points instead of 1, and 0 on Mana Feed since Felguard does not really go out of mana, but this will not really affect your damage, maybe when the Felguard dies and you have a shorter Master Summoner cast, so in that sense Master Summoner can be better, it is up to you.
Glyphs
1. Major Glyphs
- Glyph of Felguard Increases the Felguard's total attack power by 20%.
- Glyph of Life Tap When you use Life Tap or Dark Pact, you gain 20% of your Spirit as spell power for 40 sec.
- Glyph of Quick Decay Your haste now reduces the time between periodic damage ticks of your Corruption spell.
( Glyph of Metamorphosis have a synergy with two things, first with Nemesis, in which case having three talent points on this is better, secondly is your Immolation Aura but only for 6 seconds not 10 on the second time. So if you go for this glyph you want to exchange it with the Glyph of Immolate. and use 3 talent points on Nemesis and only 2 on Demonic Tactics. This build actually can be better, certainly on cleav fights like LK (stand in the melees). But it is still not worth it!)
2. Minor
- Glyph of Drain Soul Your Drain Soul ability occasionally creates an additional soul shard.

Stat priorities
Best way to tell is to use Rawr, but follow these easy rules and you should be fine.
1. Hit Cap! You must have 13% in Alliance and 14% in Horde. 17% is the cap, 3% comes from shadow priest( Misery ) or balance druid ( Improved Faerie Fire ) and 1% from a draenei ( Heroic Presence )
2. Spell power
3. Haste
4. Crit
5. Spirit
Additionally, sometimes this stat weight differs depending on how many stats you have, that is why using Rawr is really good. Crit-Spirit items can be better than many haste crit items, like [Lingering Illness] is better than [Crushing Coldwraith Belt] in content full best in slot gear.
