    I miss the old play style more than meta. Being a glorified aff lock with pet-shaped dots and a rigid rotation (admittedly broken up a bit by t20) just doesn't compare imo.

    More like Impology.
    They always told me I would miss my family... but I never miss from close range.

    I would have LOVED demo tanking. could've worked kinda like defiler from rift. the pets you summon have dmg you take redirected towards them, and you could build demonic power to empower them so they take more damage while the boss is beating your face in. artifact active would instantly nuke your current pets to heal you for the health, similar to how TKC works now but instead of dmging the target, healing you

    Any number of ways they could have done it.

    Honestly, specs just need to be more streamlined. Trying to balance so many specs across all classes is becoming a nightmare, and just results in people frustrated because 'their' spec doesn't perform as well - even if it's just a functional recolor for the most part.

    You've got it wrong sweet peas. Demonology does not exist. It's best if we don't acknowledge what it's suppose to be.

    Demo is fine. It sits there on top 3 for Single Target dmg, and has the meme build rotation that makes ur DE casts "meaningful" since y'all complain on that.

    Also, meme build Vs default build, the dmg difference aint huuuge, u'd be surprised, IF ofc u have haste optimized.

    Oh, feel free to check my Hc desolate host ranking for the peeps who are like "Demo sux on cleave/aoe" lol, and I dont even have the belt...

    So, while the spec has room for improvement, its not the worst, its just the least played. Why?

    Cause affli was broken and alot of ppl invested on it, so now its a community driven spec, and because of that kids just copy and u just have 90% affli locks.

    Well and you invested more time in to the spec and you are still terrible at it? You are 937 and your DPS for all the Single-Target Bosses is shit sorry..
    No, it is the least played spec, because in order to do good DPS you have to deal with your mentioned "meaningful" DE spam and shitty rotation and outside of that you are useless -> no burst, no add focus, long ramp up time and so on.

    Yeah you can cleave/aoe on Mistress and Host and get good Numbers but yeah.

    Also Affliction is a lot easier to play for only slightly inferior ST and superior MT/movement. As a former Shadow Priest, I've just about had it with jumping through extra hoops just to do worse.

    I agree mate. And thats totally fine!!

    Just dont trashtalk demo when players dont know it, or say the meme build is bad, when its actually= i cant perform the meme build lol.

    I have nothing on affli, and every class should have an , maybe call it, "easy" relatively spec (looking at u Bm hunter),
    But ppl here saying Demo is bad sounds more like "make demo easy to noobs" which sux, and is also not realistic.

    Is it easy? No

    Does it need opt stats? Heavily! Ur shit if u dont have a great amount of haste.

    But is it bad? No its not if ur opted and know what ur doing

    You can't perform the meme spec either when i look at your Dps on the single target bosses with Ilvl 937 :/

    Yeah it's allright, I still play the spec a lot...it is just to much effort for only being good at single target.

    I am not allowed to post links, but you can search for Savathûn

    Can somebody tell me how to effectively play Demo without spamming Demonic Empowerement? And I just got the legendary ring (talent) which gives me Grimoire of Synergy, I tested Service and Supremacy and having a Doom Guard throwing out Shadowbolts at the enemy with Supremacy is parsing 10% better than Service for me - is that right or am I doing something wrong?

    (and I've got the Destro Shoulders and overall parsing 20% better with Destro than Demo - that's a bit sad)

    I think Demo does look the best of our 3 specs. Sadly most of it you can't see as most demons are inside the boss :P.

    I quit because they deleted my favourite spec and built this travesty. Thought about coming back a couple of times, did once, grind was shit so that lasted about a week but thinking again as I heard the grind has been trimmed back; and now I read through all this and it's like "Oh, they killed Demo off again because after all this time they accepted what was said before it was even officially announced would happen, has happened." Whee another redesign on the horizon.

    So, how's Affliction?

    One of the best DPS in the game, very versatile, very mobile, very easy to play.

    I think barring extended movement and cleave where the adds can't be stacked demo is in a pretty good spot. A spec shouldn't be good at everything.

    Except, you know, affliction is better at literally every fight style and destro probably is too. Seriously, affliction can compete with demo in patchwerk fights and absolutely dismantles demo at every other type of fight.

    It's a poorly designed spec dude, there's no saving grace. It's just flat out worse than the other specs in every situation and it isn't even fun to play.

    Goroth is probably the one fight you'd expect demo to be the best on, but even there it's worse: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/ranking...lock&boss=2032
