Alas this is a pipe dream. PVP - destru blasts. Instead these points are placed in Shadow Embrace to give a raid buff. Improved Howl of Terror is taken for the soloing build, but these points are moved to Suppression for the raiding variant. Grim Reach could be a worthy addition to this build, but will require the warlock to move within 30 yards to take advantage of Nightfall procs. It is also difficult to find a place from which to take 2 points.

In raids this build lacks any talents in shadow bolts, instead relying on boosted Drain Life to deal direct damage between refreshing DoTs. In return it contributes Improved Blood Pact and considerably more stamina via the low level demonology talents, greatly increasing survivability.

The place where this build really shines is as a solo farming build. The combination of high stamina, Dark Pact, Improved Life Tap and powerful Drain Life will allow a warlock to grind with very few breaks to eat and drink. This build a key warlock raiding build, and provides many important raid synergy effects, while providing decent damage to new warlocks. Points should be moved from Fel Concentration and Improved Curse of Agony to Suppression to bridge the spell hit rating cap, if one should exist.

Malediction provides much-needed damage boost to Curse of the Elements. Shadow Embrace reduces damage done by the debuffed target and helps reduce the healing required on the main tank.

Curse of Exhaustion helps the warlock kite which is useful in certain situations, such as Vashj's Coilfang Strider adds. This build excels for warlocks new to raiding. Affliction offers several raid buffs such as Shadow Embrace and Malediction, and your demon is not sacrificed or used for DPS, allowing you to keep an Imp out for Blood Pact.

All of these will make you popular even when joining raids with those better geared than you. Much of the damage is done by DoTs, which have excellent mana efficiency. Suppression is available to make up for the lack of spell hit that most warlocks have before they obtain raid gear, making sure your DoTs land consistently. Between refreshing DoTs you have the talents to throw strong shadowbolts, each of which may apply Improved Shadow Bolt, further improving your DoT damage.

Improved Shadow Bolt and Bane are taken to give punch to your shadow bolts. Demonic Aegis is also picked up for some extra spell damage from Fel Armor. As with other sacrifice builds, talents can be shuffled around the demonology tree between master summoner, healthstones, improved imp, voidwalker and succubus and others as desired. The main criticisms are that while Demonic Embrace is taken, your demon is sacrificed so you do not benefit from Blood Pact which is offered by an affliction build so survivability is not significantly increased.

It lacks the raid utility of an affliction build by not having a demon available and not having Malediction or enough affliction points spare for Shadows Embrace.

The Demonology talent tree and the use of summoned demons are what mainly distinguishes a Warlock from a Mage. Having a Felguard raiding spec require you to keep track on your Felguard's positioning, abilities and health. One of the major drawbacks for this spec is keeping your Felguard healed with Health Funnel , if the minion is used as an off-tank. Using the [ Void Star Talisman ] provides much-needed survivability for your Felguard, and the two-piece bonus of Corruptor Raiment greatly helps reduce the active healing the he requires.

Having a shadow priest with Vampiric Embrace in the group also provides passive healing. Therefore it is doubly important that he does not die, as he will lose all buffs on death. It is possible re-summon him, at full or almost-full health and perserve the buffs. The Fel Domination and Master Summoner talents reduce this downtime to half a second, as well as one additional second of Global Cooldown. This spec is highly effective for tanking Leotheras ' Demon Form, Grand Astromancer Capernian in Kael'Thas' fight, blue beam tanking at netherspite, and several other mobs with spell-based attacks.

This build is to maximize damage in 25 man raids but requires a lot of micro-management and understanding of all fights, even trash pulls. Since Shadow Bolt are the main source of damage, Devastation is crucial for the increased crit and Destructive Reach helps from hitting the Threat Cap too soon. This spec has high gear requirements and using it without at least 2 pieces of Tier 5 is generally inadvisable, the [ Void Star Talisman ] is also highly recommended to help minimize damage to your Felguard from AoE effects from bosses like Void Reaver.

The general strategy is to send the Felguard in, and while you have mana, Shadowbolt or Immolate. Once you are out of mana, Life Tap to full and Drain Life. Grinding mobs becomes a cycle of fast kills followed by much slower kills. Corruption and CoA are generally avoided when soloing with this build because a lot of the DoT ticks will never have a chance to hit the already dead mobs.

If you find that you're wasting mana with Corruption, you may want to put the first 5 points in the Affliction tree towards Suppression instead. This spec would provide the basic beneficial survivability and stat boosting abilities from demonology, while getting bonus crit damage from destruction.

The combination of a buffed pet and Improved Drain Soul greatly reduces the chance to pull aggro from your minion. Life Tap between fights. This maintains mana with high survivability and good DPS. As a bonus, you will have plenty of souls and enough mana for the occasional shadow bolt spam.
