Demonology Warlock Midnight Gearing Guide

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.

You should still prioritise the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Demonology Warlock, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

A good guideline at the moment is: Item Level > Crit > Haste / Mastery >> Versatility.

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:

• Stormbound Emblem Of Dazar (BiS)
• Vile Vial Of Volatile Venom
• Freightrunner's Flask
• Hex Lord's Dooming Idol

Passive Trinkets:

• Gebbo's Bottomless Bag (BiS)
• Wavecaller's Seastone

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 and 9/6 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 1x Arcanoweave Lining and offhand with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt is the best embellishment option. If you are using a 2H staff you can easily substitute the offhand embellishment with another Arcanoweave Lining.

Arcanoweave Lining is ideally put into low budget slots like wrists and cloak/belt, but filling out a higher budget piece like chest/head etc can be a good temporary solution until better options come along.

Bonus Rolls (Nebulous Voidcores)

The Midnight Season 2 Bonus Rolls (Nebulous Voidcores) will be available from the start of the season as an alternative reward from your Great Vault. More sources for the bonus rolls will become available later into the Season.

Nebulous Voidcore Bonus Rolls let you target specific loot from a Raid Boss or Mythic+ Dungeon; once an item is received via Bonus Loot, that item is removed from the Bonus Loot Pool.

Below are the High Priority bonus roll target items and where they drop from:

Disclaimer: These are the absolute bis picks. However if you do not have access to Ula’tek Mythic, you still want to bonus roll Ula'tek on heroic difficulty as the special effect items are extremely powerful.

After the Ula'tek loot pool is fully complete you can move on to bonus rolling dungeons or Lost Explorers for Gebbo's Bottomless Bag.
