Demonology didn’t receive any major changes in shadowlands. While affliction is OP, destro is at least ok, demonology DPS is just plain out laughable. I love this spec and I really don’t wanna change my spec or class, but… It’s a shame that even with the best meta you can’t get near the DPS of a spriest or such. Does anyone know if there are any changes/buffs/updates for Warlocks or demonology in particular upcoming?

Affliction is not OP, it’s OP compared to demonology, comparted to other classes it’s meh, destruction is trash, and demo is just sad.

Demo is absolutely fine. I am always top DPS in dungeons and did pretty well in the raid before wipe

Yeah no. Looking at the logs on warcraftlogs, yours is just an anecdote. Or, your raid and m+ teams are absolute garbage rofl.

Imagine claiming someone to be wrong when you and your entire whiny bubble has no clue what you are talking about

0 logs as demo, you don’t even play the spec, how would you know lmfao
i am actually raiding with the spec, and i’m getting orange/pink parses as demo with 3-4k dps because nobody plays atm lmao, meanwhile most other specs are doing twice that dmg kekw
How do i check orange/pink parses?

all specs
Cuz aff is a bit ahead, but 300 dps difference doesn’t make the spec unplayable
I checked your logs and you can clearly see yourself that other specs are not doing twice your damage, 5-10% difference is normal for wow.
There are a few demo logs who are doing very close to aff.
Some tuning could help, but everyone being so dramatic on forums, smh
because we’re still in normal/hc. when everybody goes to mythic the spec will fall over instantly, because movement = demo unplayable.
demo needs changes to talents and spells, more than an aura % buff.
i made this thread today, not whining at all, just making a few suggestions that would help the spec feel a lot smoother.
And I do not disagree with any of this, idk why you started being so defensive 
I’m all for constructive criticism. However, demo can perform just fine in 90% of the content and pull ahead at certain scenarios.
because you’re calling people bad.
demo isn’t good. it’s clunky, you’re forced into a very strict set of talents, and you are so dependent on not getting any mechanics that require you to move during tyrant build-up where literally every gcd counts, otherwise your dps will suck for the entire fight.
also, there’s up to 3k+ dps differences between top spec and demo on some fights. that’s absolutely insane.
I mean people here say lock dps is trash and “laughable” when it’s not. Give 5% aura buff and everyone will be crying that demo is too OP. Yeah, I could be more civil and elaborate my opinion with more effort, but it’s not like this community creates a welcoming environment for such conversation.
I am playing a lot of demo and destro, affi not so much because i dont like doting concept. And i disagree completely, destro is much less mobile in fights than demo.

Ah, Demo. In Council when the add comes giving immunity to the boss, your entire army of Demons are like “Switch to add? Nah, we would like to continue hitting the immune boss”. Then you start sending 600 dmg SBs rofl.
Retarded spec is retarded. Stop defending it lol.
