Many ppl say Demo lock is trash, on icy veins it is dead last mythic+ class.
One of the main critic is the slow ramp-up time, which is true, however with Demo you can do one thing which no other spec can do, namely pre-ramp up.
So, on the last mob of the pack, you start summoning imps, but dont spend them instead save for the next pack, then boom.
Of course this is nothing new for most players, just when everyone is trashing Demo I thought it was worth noting, as this is a really big plus in mythic+. Also interesting that with the increased out of combat imp time, Blizz actively support this playstyle, so dont need to be afraid this will go away.

Mainly because it is.

Over the past couple months I’ve read dozens of suggestions that would take very little effort to implement, and make demo feel way better to play.
None were implemented. Instead we got slightly faster dogs.

I did 3 mtyhics with Demo so far (and a sht ton of heroics). I have Necrolord as my covenant which is arguably the best one for single target. Despite starting a boss fight with 11 imps already being there, a Frost Mage and Unholy DK murders me DPS wise. Simply because our spells, imps and everything else deals so little damage.
So yeah, I am going to disagree with you.

Yeah, 11 starting imps is a big number, it should give you a huge dmg boost…so what you described is bad news…just one thing, armory shows you have sacrificed soul as the last talent, is that right? Demonic consumption is very important for doing good damage. Have you tried with that one as well?

I haven’t tried it yet.
I am playing with Necrolord. Decimating Bolt buffs Demon Bolt, Power Siphon buffs Demon Bolt and Sacrificed Soul too buffs my Demon Bolt. Since our Imps have longer uptime due to out of combat duration being increased, my Demon Bolts hit ALOT.
I may give the other one a go but at the moment Mythic bosses die in like 2.30 to 3.00 minutes, which prevents me from casting my Tyrant for a second time which is of course a huge dps loss.
after doing a bunch normals/hcs as affliction i got bored doing healer dps on trash so i went demo for m0s.
demo perfomed pretty good ngl, but it’s still so clunky to play.

Well pre ramp up is great, sure, whatever. But we need more then one good thing about demo, we need good mechanics/gameplay design/numbers/simple care from blizz - and we severely lacks of it.

It was obvious that this spec was bound to be flushed down the toilet when the crooks stood on stage at Blizzcon(Legion) and advertised it as “SUMMON HORDES OF HARMLESS DEMONS”.

Idk, I top almost every dungeon as demo. Hunters seem to destroy me in dps tho. You should also take a look at demonic consumption it’s still even with with lower haste by far the best talent in the row.

The only solution is delete it and bring back Meta, for me.
im loving demo atm i beat equally geared players in duels pvp ect affliction and destruction wise, also i am usually top damage both aoe and single target in mythic dungeons with exact same ilvl other players the only class i struggle to keep up with is hunters but 50% of their dps is covenant ability .i feel demo is in a good place for a change and it will get better with gear as we know locks scale well with gear, destro with its stupid long cast time feels horrible and affliction is just a dumb design im staying demo
