Shout out to Kalamazi for always going back to not only referencing the talents at play when he’s talking about specific interactions, but he always talks about the fundamentals as well and how they interact and makes it all come together for the full, big picture. There is no shortage of WoW content creators, but few/next to none do it like Kalamazi does.
this bonus set is exactly what was needed to make the spec perfect. Everything is finally synchronized, fluid and consistent. It is absolutely mandatory that at the end of this tier (or the expansion but preferably the tier) one of our useless talents such as Bloodbound Imps, Stolen Power or Umbral Blaze be replaced by an equivalent of this bonus that brings the GFG to 1m30 of cd. I hope you will push in this direction, because now that the spec is finally fixed, it needs to stay that way.
it's not going to stay this way, they've already had to bring it down since it has entirely too much synergy with certain ST builds. the caster trinkets in 10.1 are also kinda nuts, you can very much so bet, that it'll be hit kinda hard around the time they do the tuning for RWF stuff. it's insane how much damage you get out of current Demo rotation with a trinket that adds near 8k main stat, while said demo lock is PI'd
@@puppetface9975 It is that insane because of the trinket. They can nerf the trinket as much as they want, but they need to keep the synergy we have with this gameplay. 1.5min GFG is whats important. They can nerf trinket, they can nerf dmg numbers (even if that would be sad) but GFG is and need to stay 1.5min from a gameplay perspective
Or, you know, you play GWD to push tyrant to 1 min cd, as we did the last x years, to make it line up. 1 min tyrant flows much better than 1:30 tyrant anyway. We just have this problem because ppl kept bitching about tyrant not being #1 in details, because they dont want to understand that tyrant is more a less just the same as the dark soul cd's, i.e. its there for the aura, not its hits.
@@raweon_path_of_exile1263 No, that would be getting back to the clucky 1 GTG timing for 2 Tyrant which was the crappy gameplay we wanted an improvement on. Instead of aiming for the less crappy gameplay we had they found a solution for a smooth gameplay and it works, so let's keep that 1 GTG for 1 Tyrant smooth gameplay instead of going back to a weaker version of a mediocre gameplay we once had.
I'm a returning merely average warlock, this guide cleared so many bleak points for me. Thanks a lot, can't wait to put this knowledge in application when the patch drops!
The Imp tick down you made for Weak Aura REALLY helped me out man, I could not for the life of me keep up with when they were spawning and despawning to implode them so i was just burning off a bunch of imps pointlessly
Can you please do a more detailed section on implosion? It's not quite clear to me where is the cutoff to use it with gang bosses Thanks for your work! =)
I felt really stressed watching the single target rotation, but then I watched the AOE build and saw it’s essentially what I’ve been doing (at least the same abilities). I’m a WoW noob, but I’m loving my level 62 Warlock!
Thanks for the video, there is one question how did you spend 5 pieces called Portal - 1 piece Soulburn - 1 piece Felguard - 1 piece Vilefiend - 1 piece Dreadstalkers - 2 pieces I have reviewed this so many times reviewed all the skills and I still have this question time 14:29
For me to make a spek fun to play(and ofc good dps overall) is to having cds that lines up. I just love this new set bonus that makes felguard line up with tyrant now
The words ‘this makes warlocks an extremely strong target for PI’ sums up everything that has plagued warlocks and their damage balancing this expansion 😢
Do we stay with GWD over ROT until we get our 10.1 two piece tier set? Also, what is the Addon/WA that shows the time left on Vilefiend, Felguard and Dogs so you know when to cast your Tyrant to extend them? Thanks again for the great video.
Honestly feels so weird how Pitlord does SO MUCH damage but we dont want to extend it on pull, even though my 2nd void portal always lines up that way and does more damage under the same situation
Loved the guide as someone learning demo! Did have a question tho, if soul burn is instant and off GCD is there a reason to hit it right after portal instead of during the vilefiend cast to take advantage of it being off GCD? Or is the time save negligible? Thanks again for the awesome guide!
Amazing content as always! One question - how do you go about simming PI when you have a shadow priest PI'ing you so you will just be getting PI every 2 minutes. The Simc profile by default doesn't seem to hold Tyrant and NP to line up with CDs. Is it even worth to do that or should shadowpriest PI just go to someone else?
When should you not implode? Like let’s say imps are about to expire, what would the minimum amount of imp gang boss need to be in order to implode them? 1/5 or just if any imp gang boss is about to expire implode
I dont know if we are good in any aoe situations anymore. Vault tier set (felstorm dmg buff) will gone + aoe nerfs few ids ago (for whatever reason). There will be much more potent specs on stacked and spread cleave.
I'm always wondering what is the best timing to get PI when you play NP and without NP. Thanks for the video, as always it's a pleasure to listen to your explaination !
Because priests in DF no longer 'gift' their PI to another player, they instead duplicate it (because of a new talent) - so the priest and PI target both receive the PI buff .. This means Priests have less flexibility on when they PI a target, as they need often to need to time the PI for their own rotation and cooldowns.
@@ch.kv. Healers can do it when you want to be faire, only SP are limited. But that doesn't answer my question ^^', i wanted to know the best timing for us.
Sorry im an old school Warlock player from WOTLK. This is very confusing, currently Lvl 61 and im dont really care for the talents i need for better leveling. I assume ill copy one of your AOE builds for lvling. As for Raiding and M+ what spec would you recommend?? Whats the better Single Target DPS? Better AOE cleave DPS? Definitely subbing ty for the content.
Why Reign of Tyranny over Grand Warlicks Design in M+? Also after Tyrannt how many Imp Boss do normally implode or is it on one that is going to expire?
Hey Kalamazi, just wondering with the Dominance of Arrogance trinket whether it's worth holding Demonic Strength for every tyrant (1min30) In pure ST of course
Would there be any way to make a simpler imp gang boss WA? The one you have posted checks on every frame and I’m running a lower end rig which makes those types of WA’s not viable
Looking at your bars and I noticed you have some new macros. Please add them to your pastebin file, when you have some time. Thank you for all that you have done and are doing for the warlock community. :)
You get a demon out of the portal because it consumes a shard. And it‘s an instant cast without gcd so basically a demon for the pitlords damage for almost no cost 🤷🏻♂️
As a demo dunce, how many of these Demo abilities can be used while moving. I ask as it seems the big knock on Destro is that the dps will be lower due to movement.
Demonbolt procs dog procs and grimoire the diff being your pets don’t suffer while you move where as all of destro damage is tied to casting those spells you can’t cast when you’re moving
I imagine it's (if Felstorm is on CD) you throw down Guillotine after Tyrant because your Felguard, once thrown down his weapon, has increased unarmed auto attack damage during the Guillotine duration. So he's just trying to optimise talent usage during a Tyrant window, that's all. Could be wrong
Well it's hard to say which one is better for a beginner. Demo rotation and setup may be harder but destro is probably the most punished caster if you have to move (so you need some game knowledge to know when you have to move, predict the movement and reposition using your TP or even know which puddles you can soak without dying because you're pretty tanky). In raids probably demo will be a bit more popular, in M+ it probably will be destro BUT destro excel especially in high keys (25+++) where mobs live long enough for your rain of fire damage to really ramp up. So if you dont plan to push very high M+ I'd suggest learn demo first. Destro in low keys is a bit annoying, sure you double the dps of other players on bosses but its painful to see ret pala doing 300k burst when you did 100k and mobs already died before your dmg could ramp up :D
@@pr3287 ok thanks a lot for all the answers, I am a returner and new to warlock, so my plan at the end is : mythic raids and higher keys, but this won´t be right now, so hc, first mythic bosses in raids, some mythic + keys to 15 or maybe 20 will be the plan for the next few months for me, and it sounds like demo will be a good choice for it? :) that would be great because thats the spec I have started lvling with :)

Portal - 1 piece
Soulburn - 1 piece
Felguard - 1 piece
Vilefiend - 1 piece
Dreadstalkers - 2 pieces
I have reviewed this so many times reviewed all the skills and I still have this question
time 14:29
Esse video deve ter dado muito trabalho, obrigado ficou incrível

Where’s the wago for the imp timer, that’s super handy. Thank you for this guide!
How do you think hatered is after the nerf? Will we just be going back to the portal/pit lord build? Thanks as always for your vids!

The Simc profile by default doesn't seem to hold Tyrant and NP to line up with CDs. Is it even worth to do that or should shadowpriest PI just go to someone else?
There are sime out there that hold Tyrant for 2m mark, but you need a custom APL. Demo with 2m PI is still one of the best targets.
When should you not implode? Like let’s say imps are about to expire, what would the minimum amount of imp gang boss need to be in order to implode them? 1/5 or just if any imp gang boss is about to expire implode
Curious on this as well
bless you

Still fine
just reading into the tier set for the first time good golly miss molly thats strong.
just a heads up, guillotine build doesnt translate since they changed talents

Hey, quick question, what about embellishment gear? Should we stick with Lariat and amice?

Any chance you could put bis gear on your website and what to spend sparks on etc?
Is hey man ty for the video , is there a website to know whats the best macros for warlock ?
which shadowflame embelishment items to craft first? just replace low ilvl pieces?
So we are no longer imploding on ST if it’s only one boss with some cleave during no add phase?
Should I be waiting until portal is off cooldown to cast grimoire felguard if I don’t have the set pieces lowering its cd?
Hey Kalamazi, just wondering with the Dominance of Arrogance trinket whether it's worth holding Demonic Strength for every tyrant (1min30)
In pure ST of course
Warlock players: not taking damage numbers into account, what has been your fav/ most fun spec to play so far in DF?
What demo build should I be using I before tier bonus
should you imploe while tyrant is up but some of the mobs on a pack are close to death?
Quick question, When do you use Soul Burns?
It seems its not directly relevant to DPS. Is it used for CC?
You use soulburn after starting Nether Portal. It spends a soulshard off the gcd, which summons a demon from the portal.
@@OakenTome thank you mate =)
hello, nice video, what the weakaura to track all our pet's timer
Is there a thing as too much haste for demo? My lock has 35% haste with the rune + potential procs.
what addon for your imp tracker?
Would there be any way to make a simpler imp gang boss WA? The one you have posted checks on every frame and I’m running a lower end rig which makes those types of WA’s not viable
i don't like the fact, that demonic calling is played only with 1/2 feels like a dead point, feels much smoother with 2/2 imo
Looking at your bars and I noticed you have some new macros. Please add them to your pastebin file, when you have some time. Thank you for all that you have done and are doing for the warlock community. :)
why no one talking about gearing and embellishments? am confused af of what to craft...
Why is 4. Soulburn in the single target rotation? What am I missing here? Thanks!
You get a demon out of the portal because it consumes a shard. And it‘s an instant cast without gcd so basically a demon for the pitlords damage for almost no cost 🤷🏻♂️
What trinket are you referring to when you say "class trinket" ?
Neltharions call to dominance
im wondering how to deal with demonic strength when playing with RoT. Hold it 30s for Tyrannt or use it on CD?
If it stays as it is now. just use in on CD
I'd say use it on CD if u add them all up your probs loosing like alot of casts overall if your saving it.
where are the WA links? any addons you recommend?
You can find all the WA's and profiles in my discord actually or by typing !wa in twitch chat. Hope it helps!
I can’t realy .. keep up with the imp Gang boss in big pulls and when the screen is full and need Stunds and kicks …
hey can u link tihis timer for imps
What name of addon with demons life time bar
i cannot get that WA tracker to work sadly
would be good to see your stats in videos like this.
As a demo dunce, how many of these Demo abilities can be used while moving. I ask as it seems the big knock on Destro is that the dps will be lower due to movement.
Demonbolt procs dog procs and grimoire the diff being your pets don’t suffer while you move where as all of destro damage is tied to casting those spells you can’t cast when you’re moving
What’s the stat priority for demo?
Watch the video…
Why does he keep saying to throw down Gulliotine with Tyrrant? Whats the benefit of that I diont get it. Someone plz explain.
I imagine it's (if Felstorm is on CD) you throw down Guillotine after Tyrant because your Felguard, once thrown down his weapon, has increased unarmed auto attack damage during the Guillotine duration. So he's just trying to optimise talent usage during a Tyrant window, that's all. Could be wrong
Tyrant gives 15% dmg increase to your demons. Guillotine being a 6sec-duration ability, gives high aoe dmg, which is also buffed by your tyrant's 15%.
This seems like a lot, I hope I'm able to put it all to use.
No talking about Immutable Hatred and Tyranny nerfs?
Very tiny nerf
@@pr3287 not really
video was probably recorded before the nerfs. you can check his twitch vod for a reaction to the nerfs or wait until the youtube video will be out
@@Unbound-Phoenix really
so as a new warlock player, what do you think is best to lern first, demo or destro.. which spec will be the one most played in raids and m+? :)
i guess in Raids Demo / In M+ Destro
Play what you like the most,both are good
Well it's hard to say which one is better for a beginner. Demo rotation and setup may be harder but destro is probably the most punished caster if you have to move (so you need some game knowledge to know when you have to move, predict the movement and reposition using your TP or even know which puddles you can soak without dying because you're pretty tanky).

They’re both vastly different. Destro is a bit easier than demo. I’d start with that first
gonna miss instant hog
Nether portal is god tier fantasy wise but why did they make it so weird to play. It should be based on shards used smh
where embellishments
Im here to demo, show me, master
Get PI.
DPS!
Fucking awesome video dude thank you so much you’re so good at explaining everything I love you I want to kiss your face
Another tier of Nether Portal cancer. Blizzard please buff Affliction so I don't have to play this.
Funny. I find Demo VASTLY more satisfying and fun (even with NP) than the dot-managing nightmare that Affliction is.
