Demonology Warlock Changes

Hello there
I m here to talk about one especial thing I dislike in the demo lock.
How everyone knows, in legion expansion they change a lot the demo lock spec. Of one demon to one demons caster! Well then . The problem its… we only can instant cast one pet! And if talent . The other pet (many don’t use that talent) its grimor! Ok. And why don’t have some buff to we can instant cast the others demons instant? That was a useful burst. I’m telling this, because, depending of the enemy specs , we are constantly been interrupted , and we can’t trough our demon burst as properly! . Like one DJ like one hunter… so…what is the sense on the demons caster speciality blizzard ?
We get so much in disadvantage against one rogue for example. A stunner speciality. Our moves isnt good like to can keep a distance times enough… and even the fear if the haste isnt good enough we can’t fear so easily before get other stun or interrupted . That’s way I m investing so much in the haste not versatility.

They might as while rename demonology into felgaurd specc.
Because that is what it has been reduced too.
Our demons are little more the dps turrets looking like minnions.

Compaire that to wod domonology.
Walking around of a perminate doomgaurd or infernal.
Summoning an army within seconds.
That was fun.

Felgaurd has a 4 second instant stun.
If a rogue shows himself: ctrl 5(i think it was 5) to trow felgaurd axe to stun the rogue(you can still command your pet while stunned)
It wont save you from the rogue as you lack the dots to keep him visible.

Playing a domonology warlock in bfa is slow, dull and ineffecent.
Casts take too long and even on max level you rely on burst to generate shards you need to summon your “minnions” who then stand still until you attack something.
And since these minnions only last a few seconds every second casting is a second wasted because your minnions arent doing damage.
They need to increase the time demons stay.
Meaby give talents that allow us to keep demons up indeffinitly aslong we have the talent.

Right now it is destruction>affliction>>>>>>>>>>>>Demonology.

I can cope with almost anything, but tag-game is abysmal. I guess demo lock really needs wands equipped to be able to tag things middle of players.

You can use health drain as tag tool but it is still anoying to have to interupt my rotation just because my felhounds run back to me instead of the guy i am casting shadowbolt on.
I mean they are around for so short i am lucky if they hit an enemy twice before despawning.
Part of master demonology is getting the demonbolt instant cast proc triggered as often as you can.

When opposite faction player is near me - that tag seems to always be a moment too late.

I have one demonology 120 and other 110 and 3rd 111 (dungeon leveling for last two) and in dungeon it is ok - kind of, but solo gameplay … I miss my affli. In future I go back to roots.

Yeah demonology pvp is just a free win for the other player.
I personaly just think it is a too slow of a specc.
In the current meta where speed>everything else.
Taking even a second to cast something is often the difference between victory and a corpse run.
And given the fact our dps need to be summoned over several attacks…
Double so when you are facing demon hunters or druids.
Who have the advantage of ambushing you.

I would rather the cost of resummoning the pet cost mana and not a soulshard, with a faster cast to be on par with Hunter.

Total true . That it is

That’s not completely true. With power siphon to generate DC procs, you can cast a 6+ shard DeCon tyrant by weaving a CC chain. 2 of those CC spells being instant. and they don’t share a DR. 1v1 it’s fine and it can take people a long time to chisel down your HP. With VOP, tyrant is on a very short CD, so you can burst pretty often, too. During that 1.2 minutes of downtime, you can just focus on control and slowing people down.
I like the challenge and unique playstyle of it in PVP.

it’s not a spec designed for pvp. your dmg comes from mostly tyrant which can be interrupted, trapped, stunned, blinded, losed.

you have to hard cast forever to get things going.

in pve, if you move for literally 1 second or w/e during your ramp-up your entire burst is ruined.

scrap tyrant, bring back thal’kiel’s consumption.
