WoW Forever Demonology Warlock Rotation
Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).
Wowhead wrote this while the beta was capped at 30, so the level 60 picture is their projection [Unconfirmed]. Tested level 60 data: Not yet published, updated at launch.
Both raid builds sacrifice one demon with Demonic Sacrifice and keep the other out with Soul Link. Fire build: sacrifice the Sayaad, keep the Imp. Shadow build: sacrifice the Imp, keep the Sayaad. Shadow is ahead in fights of a minute or less; Fire is slightly ahead in longer ones.
Fire build priority
| Step | Do this |
|---|---|
| 1 | Searing Pain if Demonic Brand is missing. |
| 2 | Your Bane, then your Curse. |
| 3 | Immolate. |
| 4 | Soul Fire while Decimation is up. |
| 5 | Corruption. |
| 6 | Life Tap in gaps, or when the Imp is low on mana. |
| 7 | Searing Pain. |
Each Life Tap also fills the Imp's mana (Demonic Energies); an Imp with no mana stops casting.
Shadow build priority
| Step | Do this |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your Bane, then your Curse. |
| 2 | Searing Pain if Demonic Brand is missing. |
| 3 | Immolate, then Corruption. |
| 4 | Life Tap in gaps. |
| 5 | Shadow Bolt. |
Demonic Brand lasts 10 s or 6 Sayaad attacks. Skip Soul Fire in this build, even under Decimation.
AoE
Hellfire is strongest but needs you in the pack; Rain of Fire works at range.
