Demonology Warlock Stat Priority

Versatility (25%) > Haste > Mastery > Critical Strike

Versatility will be our most important stat. You want to focus on getting as much of it as you can, up to at least 25%. This will happen automatically through PvP gearing, as most of the items you will end up using will have Versatility on them.

Beyond this stat, focus on obtaining as much Haste as you can possibly get your hands on. This makes your globals faster and reduces the cast time of your spells. Since we are constantly casting to optimize our throughput, we want the most of this stat to make our gameplay feel more fluid. Not to mention, we receive more ticks out of our DoTs, which mainly affects Doom in our spec tree.

After Haste, you still want to get a bit of Mastery to make our demons deal slightly more damage.

Finally, Critical Strike doesn’t synergize well with our toolkit, meaning we should avoid this stat at all costs.

BiS Demonology Warlock PvP Gear

When it comes to trinkets, we are pairing up with Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity in almost every game. This adds some static Haste that will benefit us in our stat priority, while occasionally proccing for a considerable boost to our primary stat.

You will then need a Forged Gladiator’s Medallion to break out of CC every 2 minutes.

As an alternative, you can choose Forged Gladiator’s Emblem instead of Insignia for some temporary HP boost in cases where you are constantly dying to a specific composition. This can more promising into setup based matchups, such as RMP or Jungle Cleave, and you can use this trinket before pressing Dark Pact for a bigger absorb.

Best Demonology Warlock Embellishments

Item 1: Elemental Focusing Lens on any crafted piece.
Item 2: Elemental Focusing Lens on any crafted piece.

The Elemental Focusing Lens embellishment provides us with the most consistent throughput, and is only effective as long as you have at least 1 gem equipped.

This embellishment occasionally deals damage from a specific school of magic based on the gem you equip. Keep in mind that the damage from this embellishment can’t be buffed by cooldowns, talents, or any damage bonuses from school types.

Best Demonology Warlock Gems

Core Gems: Cognitive Bloodstone + Quick Sapphire
Alternative Gem: Versatile Emerald

In The War Within, you will use a Vicious Jeweler’s Setting to add sockets to your Helmet, Neck, Bracers, Belt and Rings. Two sockets can be added to the Neck and Rings.

As Versatility and Haste are your best secondary stats, you will want to both gem and enchant it wherever possible. For your new unique PvP-specific gem, we highly recommend the Cognitive Bloodstone, which acts almost identical to the Precognition Embellishment from Dragonflight.

Most of the time, we will use Quick Sapphire. This will provide us a hefty amount of Versatility, while weaving in a bit of Haste to best suit our stat priority. However, you can opt for Versatile Emerald if you want a minor boost in your throughput.
