Anyone try this yet? Becuz ive been using it and hes critting for around 50k, kinda crazy. And that is unbuffed. Didnt kno if succubus was still better or not.

Felhunter is the pet of choice for demo now.
Not being able to use your spec-defining pet is so cool! GG Blizz!
cant they just fix legion strike ... its cleave but bet they can make it do like x3 or x4 the damage on single target
my only thought is with Demon Soul and Felhunter, the periodic damage increase is no where near as valuable as more shadow bolt damage with succy.
anyone able to confirm this or is felhunter with periodic damage proc still greater then glyphed succy?
Well, if choice were a valuable stat, we would see locks picking pets as they see fit. Unfortunately its not, as clearly demonstrated that the felhunter, which is not the demo warlocks cool feature from selecting to be one, is the winner.
There still is only one option, and its not what we should be using.
Fel Puppy is better, leaves you room to use incinerate glyph too.
No Signature. Seriously. None.
ummmh.... my succ still does 15-25% more damage than the puppy in demo+affli, and shadow bite is nowhere near 50k. what am I doing wrong?

Felhunter is sick as Demo.
The mastery and demo stats outweigh the lost 30% from having an extra dot as Affliction. I still think all round Affliction is the spec to be.
steady 5-5.1k dps from felhunter on raider dummy, self buffed.
i dont have a whole lot of mastery (11.76= 23% damage increase) and shadow bite is critting for around 50k.
not to mention 4x mana from mana feed which is amazing aswell.
Ok, i only used BoD, Cor and Immo for the test so with shadowflame it would of been higher, what probably happend for the crit is that all procs aligned (Lightweave,power torrent, Volcanic dest, Dire magic from Bell ) which gave the bite a hefty bonus, you're probably doing nothing wrong 50k+ was the highest with those up ( and it doesnt happen often ) average bite is around 35-38k
might aswell that im an orc, so 5% extra pet dmg.

tearor make sure your felhunter's shadowbite ability is being used on cd. that ability is what can crit for high numbers. The spell has a base damage and is increased 30 percent by DoT effects currently on target.
Wich DoTs affect Shadow Bite? Is it vialable for a Demo Lock to use Drain Life instead of Shadowbolt, during a phase in wich countless things proc or are activated (Meta, trinkets, Demon Soul)?
Wich DoTs do actually count for Shadow Bite?
- BoD
- Corruption
- Immolate
- Shadowflame DoT
- Drain Life (I'm fairly sure about this one, but I might be wrong)
Questionable:
- Hellfire
- Immo Aura
Both Hellfire and Immo Aura are considered a DoT (at least, Hellfire is). But do these affect Shadow Bite?
And what about the Immo Aura the Infernal emmits? Since your pet spells are in general counting as your own spells?
No it is not viable for Demo to use DL, we do not have the Soul Siphon or Shadow Embrace talents, or Potent Afflictions Mastery that improve it's effect sufficiently to be comparable to Shadow Bolt in terms of DPET.
