Tier Sets
Midnight Season 2 Demonology Warlock Tier Set Bonuses:
- (2) Set Bonus: Wild Imp Damage increased by 10%. Implosion damage increased by 20%.
- (4) Set Bonus: When their energy depletes, Wild Imps have a 20% chance to fling themselves at their target and Implode at 250% effectiveness to their main target and 225% effectiveness to other targets.
Tier Set Discussion:
This tier set offers a decent chunk of passive cleave and does not change your rotation at all if you’re already used to pressing Implosion on single target.
It does feed well into the cleave profile of demonology where it performs decently well compared to other classes but it does not compensate for the low single target we are currently seeing as of patch day.

Trinkets
As a general rule you want to use 1 on-use and 1 passive trinket, however, the correct answer for your specific character is always going to be sim which is the best.
A combination of these trinkets is advised.
On-use Trinkets:
- Hex Lord's Dooming Idol
- Vile Vial Of Volatile Venom (Alternative)
Passive Trinkets:
- Wavecaller's Seastone (BiS)
- Font Of Venomous Rage (Alternative)
- Lightspire Core (Alternative)
Embellishments
Embellishments are additional effects you place on crafted items that increase their power. Most of the time this will boil down to which embellishment or embellishment combo is performing the best.
If you have access to full max level 6/6 myth gear these embellishments will be crafted on lower stat budget pieces such as bracers, offhand, belt etc, as they can only be crafted to 285 item level while max item level on gear is 289.
However, if you don’t have access to the best gear in the game, but you do have access to Mythic crests then this logic flips and you would want to craft embellishments on HIGH budget pieces such as Chest or a Weapon.
Best Embellishments and Crafted Gear for Demonology Warlock
As it stands right now, 2x Arcanoweave Lining is the best embellishment option.
This is ideally put into low budget slots like wrists and cloak, but filling out a higher budget piece like chest/head etc. can be a good temporary solution until better options come along.
