Tier Set

The demonology Tier sets are on the low end in terms of single target output gain, but they scale well into AoE scenarios.

The 2 set increases Felstorm and demonbolt damage by 20% and is pretty nice for burst cleave paired with Demonic Strength. Demonbolt focused builds will also benefit greatly from this bonus with all the demonbolt amplification talents available.

The 4-set bonus reads, “Demonbolt has a chance to make your Hand of Gul’dan Instant and do 150% more damage”. This is not as crazy as it sounds. Probably around 2% Single Target and 3.5-4% AoE. The instant cast part of the bonus offers some mobility which is definitely helpful in a lot of the raid encounters in Vault of the Incarnates.

Trinkets

Always sim yourself to find optimal trinkets for your character. Below are a few trinkets that are generally going to be good (tuning may happen):

Passive

Active

Irredius fragment and time-breaching talon are currently severely overtuned and are as good as some 421 trinkets even at 372 item level.
