Talents
Demonology Warlock
Soul Harvester Level 70
Spec Tree
- Mark of F'harg
- This makes your Summon Vilefiend become a major part of your damage both on AoE and single-target.
- Call Dreadstalkers
- Also a big part of your damage, should be used as much as possible.
- Summon Demonic Tyrant
- Your only real cooldown, use whenever there's an enemy that lives for a bit.
Class Tree
- Dark Pact
- Use this a lot to sustain your health when you have to Burning Rush.
- Pact of Gluttony
- Use this whenever you have lost a bit of health so you can use Burning Rush.
- Soulburn
- Great spell to use in combination with Demonic Gateway to increase mobility.
Hero Talents
- Soul Harvester performs better than Diabolist while leveling due to the fact that it has very powerful talents early in the tree like Shared Fate.
- Quietus makes your Demonbolts apply Shared Fate to your target.

Rotation
Demonology Warlock
Single-Target
- You want to spend as many Soul Shards as possible during your opener.
- Maximizing Wild Imps for Reign of Tyranny is not that important while leveling since most targets die too fast.
AoE
- In general, whenever you have Summon Demonic Tyrant ready you can setup a big pull and your empowered Summon Vilefiend + Call Dreadstalkers cleave everything down fast.
- Always cast Summon Vilefiend and Call Dreadstalkers on cooldown.
- If the entire pull dies fast from your cooldowns you can save all your Wild Imps until the next pull and cast an early Implosion.
- When your Wild Imps are not attacking anything it takes a very long time until they time out which means that you can often save them between pulls.
