9.0 Shadowlands Pre-Patch Demonology Warlock DPS Guide! Talents, Builds, Azerite, Essences and More!

[@DLH_21]

What demo needs is a talent that works like damnation for shadow priests. A second permanent pet would be nice too, even if that one did less damage but for utility.

[@reedjeremy5884]

You all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me!

[@frankorlando3794]

@Reed Jeremy instablaster =)

[@reedjeremy5884]

@Frank Orlando i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@reedjeremy5884]

@Frank Orlando It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@frankorlando3794]

@Reed Jeremy Happy to help xD

[@roguedruid9950]

You made me a warlock main for Shadowlands a few weeks ago when I first saw your channel. Really love the high quality content

[@DLH_21]

Welcome to the cool class club! 😂

[@Kalamazii]

Welcome aboard!

[@dot8943]

These pre-patch guides are superb, we appreciate your dedication!

[@Kalamazii]

Much appreciated!

[@Mayhem_Inc]

I really hope demo is competitive, it’s my favorite lock spec.

[@noahmullis626]

As of right now it’s not looking like it

[@Mayhem_Inc]

Noah Mullis ya I know :( If demo is a “worse BM”, maybe they should make more of their abilities instant and give BM a run for it’s money as a mobile caster.

[@SirKingHoff]

@@Mayhem_Inc Best idea. Love the idea of a lock running around laughing while his enemy is swarmed by demons XD

[@ColeEvyx]

You are by far my fave creator for anything warlock related. I am so glad I found your channel. Absolute goldmine here of information.

[@RandMPlayz]

One of the most underrated you tubers right here. Keep up the good vids

[@Kalamazii]

Thanks, will do!

[@partyforeverybody5440]

why there's no kalamazi for every other spec in the game?

[@wvjeepguy8178]

Check out Tiqqle for shaman stuff

[@andrebetita]

I absolutely love the change to Demonic Consumption. Instead of summoning an army of imps just to delete them, I can now properly have my Felguard, my Felguard's bigger badder brother, the demonic equivalent of a Ferrari (Vilefiend), two dogs with dreadlocks, however many firebolt-chucking demon babies I can spare, and spiky demon daddy, all attacking my target at the same time

[@zeyddediler]

was waitin for it ! ty kalamazi !

[@CionCode]

Thank you for your Videos Kalamazi!

[@Kalamazii]

My pleasure!

[@xerciusgaming]

Thank you! Looking forward to giving it a go. I know it looks like it's going to under-perform in Shadowlands but I'd like to focus on the positives. In particular, I prefer how Demonic Consumption works as it's kind of like Thal'kiel's consumption which I miss. Also, it seems like there might be a little more flexibility with talents. Dogs build in particular looks great. Positivity!!

[@Kalamazii]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@ethernet3289]

another thing which makes grimiore: felguard better than last expac is that axe toss, if it can’t stun, it will act as an interrupt which is a bit more added utility ;)

[@TheKingRiku]

I still think we need the felhunter interrupt pvp talent baslined. I like Demo as it is now, but I really don't want to lose Implosion in SL. "The must his 3 targets" on the legendary just kills it.

[@riffcatita]

Hi! First let me thank you for all your guides and dedication! I follow you closely on twitch and KZbin! Now I have a question for you! What spec you think will be ahead in prepatch? Both for ST and aoe?

[@Kalamazii]

Thanks a lot! PROBABLY Aff? Destro is pretty good in plus still and so is Demo. I think they are all in a good spot tbh.

[@kemokaze1]

Thanks brother!

[@Kalamazii]

Any time!

[@Tydar]

Woot! Love the videos

[@Kalamazii]

Yay! Thank you!

[@deathwavee2939]

Thanks man. Helped out a lot. Glad to se Demo players out there once again. Love the community! I shall pass on my knowledge to whoever I comes across me.

[@Kalamazii]

Glad I could help!

[@payapayagaming7169]

I've noticed that demons from that talent Inner demons are pretty random.. sometimes it's just the voidlord/felguard (regular types)... sometimes demons like Prince Malchezaar could be summoned into fight which is really cool.. :D

[@aminbayat8742]

a question:can demo warlock do damage as much as a destru warlock or even afli warlock in shadowlands?

[@luizhenriquemennabaade1660]

No, simples like that 😢

[@ceazer6857]

Yes it's possible.

[@BlueShadesX]

Depends of how many changes we get until SL and how the new trinkets scale.

[@MattyBudzzz]

i have to ask , im pretty new to warlock in general. is corruption worth casting as destruction or demonology and keeping uptime on it, becasue as destruction its the same cast time as incinerate but does almost twice the damage i think and same with demo, shadowbolt hits for 130 while corruption does 336. now granted im currently levelling so my haste isnt very high and my soul shard gen isnt quick either, so maybe at endgame it isnt even considered to cast corruption.

[@Kalamazii]

It is not. Only as aff

[@MattyBudzzz]

@@Kalamazii sweet thank you for the timely response good sir. Great content by the way, earned a new sub.

[@baneleaf7025]

I am really looking forward to not having to juggle multiple gear sets because of corruption. Best stats and ilevel wins and just vendor the rest.

[@ciram9082]

Oh ya, demonology! The fix to consumption is going to be fun with the VOP major. Thanks for all the warlock content my dude!

[@Kalamazii]

Any time!

[@diablox911]

Is there a way you can share your weak auras for this spec ?

[@mikemargerum6441]

Just joined you on Patreon. Do you have a weak aura set for prepatch? I see SL only

[@Kalamazii]

Hey thanks so much for the support! I do! The SL central WA should work for pre-patch as well as all the others listed in there! I just pushed an update tonight and posted it directly in the patreon page.

[@T3hN3wB]

Great vid per usual my d00d!

[@Kalamazii]

Thanks again!

[@gabrielrochel2832]

TY for the guide! do you have link for your demo WA's?

[@Kalamazii]

All of my Weak Auras, Macro's Profiles and Add-ons are actually listed in my discord and Twitch Channel! There is a link to it in the video description and they are in the addons-weak auras section. Hope it helps!

[@KibaWolf04]

Kalamazi, do you know how our Vile, Grimoire Feldguard, and regular dreadstalker, imps,and pet's healthpools interplay with our stats? I feel Demonic Consumption will just be useless if our pets have low hp (ie: Summon Fel Guard; Observer)

[@Kalamazii]

I do have a list. Typically larger pets have more health which means more dmg with them out

[@KibaWolf04]

@@Kalamazii Would you mind directing me to the list when you have a chance?

[@danithegoat1416]

Do you think sac soul would be good with the Maldraxxus ability?

[@anonigamer2010]

Have they fixed the totem system of despawning the tyrant? Since we do want to be using summon vile and fel now

They have!

So destro or affli for nylotha reclear ?:d

[@standardmode75]

@kalamazi is Big Dogs build able to be played in prepatch or will it not be viable?

[@Kalamazii]

It can be! The SL conduit makes it better but the build is still there

WHATS THAT MOG!!!

[@nataku5379]

I am excited for VoP working with DC. But im excited for rain of chaos. Man i cant pick.

[@dylancarter-mai3224]

Is demo going to be viable? like seriously.. I really really want to main it but if the dmg difference is similar to 8.3 then I just can't do it

[@Kalamazii]

It is solid still ST but outshined in council/cleave

[@felipecarmo2662]

Demonology rotation is so complicated!!!!!! I created a WA and now i need to update for pre patch T.T

[@chrisweber4450]

This looks incredibly fun. I feel like its too complicated for me to play sadly :(

[@rsmithy1877]

Never been this early!

[@Kalamazii]

Easy Life!

[@TheJayCrow]

I really, really wish Inner Demons was a better pick. I love the flavour of it, but it's just always outperformed by Grimoire: Felguard.

[@Kalamazii]

Yeah :(

[@ceek9206]

Kalamazi you need a haircut my dude - Mojee

[@Kalamazii]

Duuuude!

[@ozzohorde]

Kalamazi is this dmg current live beta dmg 200k peak? There's no way am i right?

[@delpepega]

Its not uncommon to get 200k opener with Demo :P Depends on how many DC procs and how many Soul Shards refunds you get. But to answer your question, he is showing prepatch and numbers have been tuned down

[@anders8461]

I wish grimoire felguard be replaced by 2nd permanent pet choice. Or let inner demon summon a doom guard that cast 2 doombolt and disappear. Nether portal should be baseline tbh. Having 1 cd as demo is ridiculous. I still prefer legion demo :)

[@merleambroise666]

Im going warlock main for SL, since FDK has been nerfed down to the ground :^(

[@noahmullis626]

Yeah I was hell’s disappointed when I saw that like wtf was that bec that was gonna be my main or at least my next high alt it was gonna be frost DK and warlock and they ruined that for me

[@Kirmukarmu]

Why? Lock will suck, reroll to spriest or mage.

[@MrBeaudenny]

you are amazing @kalamzi and your guides are always on point but do me a favour hold you head up XD you look at your camera like you just got told off :) please don't take offence, I've watched your grow this last year as a youtuber and streamer and i have nothing but respect for you XD.

[@shunsha8606]

I feel like Crucible of Flame is doing more dmg than Breath

[@Kalamazii]

It def is! It is overtuned right now
