4:34 "First of many reworks..." I will forever miss the Tank-Lock from MoP. Dark Apotheosis, Harvest Life, Mortal Coil, Hour of Twilight, Bloodstone, Grimoire of Sacrifice, Kil'jaeden's Cunning. Mists was some of the most fun I've ever had with my DemoLock. All they would've had to do to make it a great tank spec would've been to give it the normal Tank crit-taking reduction and have it also make Shadow Bolt into Shadow Volley. But instead, they decided to just make fun of the players that wanted it to be a viable tank spec by completely removing Dark Apotheosis _and_ making a proper tank-lock, but only as a bodyguard follower in WoD with Aeda Brightdawn, who actually had Dark Apotheosis and Shadow Volley.
I think about how much i miss lock tanking to often. It was always funny when a healer would tell the tank to pull more but they didnt listen so youd just start pulling whole rooms.
@@v.slavov honestly demon hunters are one of the most fun classes in the game, not only that but lore wise it much better fits demon hunter as it was originally their ability in the first place.
You missed the pre-TBC patch 2.0 times in this. There was a whole month of people having the Felguard at level 60, and they were crazy powerful. They initially worked with The Black Book from BWL too, which doubled their damage and basically made it like the Warlock had a pet Fury warrior.
Wotlk and cata made me love warlock so much. I wish it was possible to have some of the old with the new. Summoning a small army and having metamorphosis would finally hold my attention to sit down and have a main.
As much as I loved meta ( well was destro most of my life but seeing my brother in arms turning into demons made me a bit jaleous) but with demonhunters around locks aint never gonna get it back.
As a pve demo what I really miss and never understand why this was removed: The axe toss worked as an interrupt if the enemy is immune to stun. Since the interrupt part was removed we lost this tiny utility job.
Updates: Shadowlands: The axe toss ability now interrupts spellcasting instead of stunning if the target is currently casting a spell that can be interrupted. If not it stuns. This was done so demonology warlocks could have a spell interrupt for bosses and mobs that are immune to stuns without losing their felguard, since that pet is such a huge chunk of their damage.
As always, you promised to put a link to the other videos on this series in the description, and like many times before, you never did. I always ignore your promises of links, but fell for it this time, and it never ceases to piss me off. I'm off to your channel to find the videos then.
You can make videos about the history of all specs, like how their signature spells have changed, main source of damage varations (e.g. Ele shamans from lava burst nukes to noodles now), etc. Great content.
I loved being a Demo lock in WoTLK. Charging in as a huge purple demon, with immolation aura was so cool and having a raidwide buff of giving 10% of your total spellpower anytime your pet critted was so OP.
One thing you left out. In cata the Fel Hunter was actually the best single target demo pet. Because the master increase demon damage the ability Shadow Bite which hit harder for every DoT the lock had on the target. Even in just normal mode gear that spell would hit for around 80-120k depending on buffs. The felguard was only ever used for cleaving and AOE
Okay so, the reason the Legion Glyphed Wrathguard did less damage half the time is this: On bosses such as Krosus with an increased distance you can stand at and still melee them, alot of pet abilities had a RangeCalculation applied to thier cleaves etc so they could still hit with them from the further distance. The Wrathguard's Felstorm and Cleave, did NOT get this scaling. This meant that on any boss slightly larger a tiny dungeon boss, it would stand too far away for it's abilities to land, meaning it was just meleeing. You could solve this by manually moving it close to the bosses' model, but it would frequently move back out to max range even when told to Stay while attacking, making it unreliable.
Back in classic when the BC prepatch put the talents in the Felguard could bug out and cleave mobs in other rooms pulling entire instances. I made several BRD runs really interesting before I realized what was happening.
i remember i ALWAYS beat my lock friend as a priest. but when he had his felguard, that thing wrecked me. it just hit too damn hard plus the dots and fear lol
Dude thank you for making a Go To Sleep playlist. I was gonna try to ask you to do that but you already did. How can I tell Madseasonshow to do the same thing?
@@sapandcap8031 My version of that is spending days grinding bosses on isle of thunder while it was current content, wiping for days on Kanrethad because I was undefeated, finally getting it and then watching them strip literally every ability that benefits from it away. And they wonder why I am such a tightly wound ball of salt these days. I would have never gotten demon hunters if it meant warlocks stayed like they were in MoP
Warlock got actual tools to work with in BC besides Shadowbolt spam. Granted the start still had shadowbolt spam, but the addition of UA and the Felguard made the other builds at least somewhat appealing.
in cataclysm you didnt use the felguard in raids, youd keep him out for some sort of buff then pull out the felhunter. i cant quite remember the exact mechanics but i remember how shitty it was mid fight when meta came back up to hard cast him out first. the rotation was like 20 skills back then! miss those days
10:28 just wanna point out a disc priest is using luminous barrier... and in a dungeon... where taking that talent is literally worse than not selecting a talent
Avoidance wasn’t given to Warlock pets until much later in TBC through, or was it WotLK prepatch? Raiding with Demonology spec was pretty much impossible since you have to micromanage the demon to not die in every AoE. The trinket from Tempest Keep helps a bit.
the pole arm out of Hell Fire Ramparts, the Hellreaver, was always my go to for Weapon glyphs, looked like it was meant to have it... Guessing Argus' Scythe would look bad ass as well... just wondering the most ridiculous looking weapon it would carry...
not directly linked to pets specificly but last patch in WoD demo was crazy stong and broken. OutDPSing everyone so badly and tanks could nearly not hold aggro, this was even hotfixed. Allso in wotlk (if i remember corretly) the metamorphosis gave them so mo much armor they could tank while it was active functioning as a 2ndary tank or if original tank needed som help
The whole wrathguard dual wield bug really irks me now because they clearly CAN make it work, now that you can transmog a dual wield legion artifact onto a 2h weapon
I was lost in this video. What was going up with that shaman? Was with you on the party or he just wanted to be famous and sticked to you the whole montage?
Oh...MoP, a time when if you sacrifice your Felguard and use certain Glyph you became and actual caster/warrior tank (something like the later Demon Hunter but better and coolest since you get your own Demon wings and horns of dark energy) plus mannoroth's last talent and you became the perfect aoe tank with aoe aura plus aoe damage/autoheal spell but they decide your taunt will not work on bosses so gg there. Really sad the give up the Warlock Demon form to give all the fun and good spells to the demon hunters, so remember when a DH ask you "I've sacrificed everything. What have you given?", well. half of my skills. Also, the glyph of Wrathguard and the other demos existed before legion and after being removed but they "hide/remove" all those glyphs, then put them again into the profession to say they were "new"
@@hirumaredx @Hamsterwheel made a video covering Arcane's changes until WotLK,but i would like something extensive and detailed as your kind of "vanilla to bfA" style. Actually I would be glad to help you do some research. I'm guessing a lot of the work must be collecting the information on the patch notes for every expansion,or going to the spell changes section on wowhead for every expansion's spell,so i could do that,or maybe getting footage to ilustrate. I hope that could make that video a reality PD: sorry if broken english
So I don't know if this is overly asked or anything, but what's that background music that starts around 17:23 or so? I've heard it in a bunch of these vids and it's super catchy.. would love to find it and hear the whole thing. Thanks to anyone who can help!
Kind of wish they didn't go in this direction with demo. I still miss Metamorphosis and Mists'/WoD gameplay of it. As much as I like this variant, it's just not the same as turning into a demon to annihilate the opposition. :( Especially since summoning only imps and a pair of glorified Fel Hunters every few seconds doesn't feel very "demonology-esque" to me. If we were able to control a larger amount of servants at one time, that'd be an interesting concept - like having a Wrathguard, a Doomguard and a flock of imps following you around at all times, or even a 3rd and 4th demon, or passive dreadstalkers alongside those demons - that's what a "Demonology" warlock would be to me if I were to redesign the spec not as a transformation spec like it was in the past for a while, but a summoner spec; calling forth a small band of actual demons to tear your targets apart rather than just have a pack of imps you can blow up. Of course, such an idea has its own hurdles and issues to overcome, but it does sound a little more thematically appropriate as opposed to what Demonology is now. Don't get me wrong, I like pummelling enemy players into the floor with my Tyrant and Wrathguard buddies, but still. Thank you for reading this semi-off-topic comment about Demonology on a video that mostly only deals with its Felguard pet. Rofl
Wow i LOVE this video but just want to point out there is some misinformation here, considering that I was a Demonology Warlock for 90% of Wotlk and did not play a day of Cataclysm. Intercept, axe toss and felstorm all existed at the same time in Wotlk which meant he at one point did have two stuns, his AoE cleave along with the AoE bladestorm.
Another spell you've forgotten to mention entirely was Demon Soul, which also had a different effect depending which pet was out very similar to master demonologist. Which really put into perspective exactly how many trinket-like cooldowns demo locks had as they could all be used at once and were especially potent while in metamorphosis.
@@ianorrnyc completly forgot about demon soul. However the first part is incorrect. Felstorm was not introduced till Cata. 4.0.1 Intercept was removed with 4.0.1 axe toss was introduced in 4.0.1 cata is when they did the rework of al the demons, and that means felguard too, when it lost all of its abilites and gained new ones. there is no time where it had intercept AND axe toss, intercept was removed the same patch axe toss and felstorm were introduced. you might be confusing pursuit with intercept, which we include in the video. if you could show me anything pointing to intercept being in at the same time as axe toss feel free. however from all the info i can find, it was removed in 4.0.1 as was the rest of the demons spells, as that is the same time it got the replacements.
I think the Felguard looks a lot cooler than the wrathguard. I'd much rather have a Glyph of Fel Lord, but that makes little sense lore-wise as Fel-lords were too powerful to bind like that.
4:00 "better for less skilled players" - Sorry but let me interject here and say the TBC alternative to that was a destro build with succubus sacrifice that only had the warlock cast Shadowbolt, and nothing else, and it wasn't just a literal one-button build (not even one macro, like hunters, but literally one single spell) but you also had no demon to manage or pull aggro or so on.
Great video! But may i suggest to use music from the game instead? Maybe is just me, but i find it more fitting when using wow background music. This is one of the videos i been waiting for the most. And maybe is just me, but i felt some of the music kinda put me off at moments. Still that dosen't mean that the video wasn't damn good :)
we have been discussing that, our worry is getting copyright claims, but we have been running a few trials here and there, why we use the royalty music we have.
For 14:01 not sure why but I feel that Threatening presence might sound as a Jojo reference (you begin to hear the pillar men theme on the background).
They made Demo so good and later they just decide to destroy it, because monkeys are working in blizzard ... First was the Metamorph, later the Fel/Wrathguard. What will be removed or squished next.. Hand of Gul'dan(which was already nerfed), Imps or Shadowbolt...
Felguard > Wrathguard tbh What would you rather have as your demonic bodyguard? A rippling mountain of muscle with a giant axe... or some lanky fucker with skinny legs and an oversized spatula?
Man, i dont play wow anymore, but this made me miss Cata and Mop like crazy. They were such revolutionary expansions compared to tbc and wotlk, which were more boring imo
mostly they didnt know what to do with it, vanilla and tbc it was a weird mix of just buffing your pet, or sacrficing it, it wasnt a "spec on its own" then in wotlk they made it a support spec with soulfire and execute, then cata they made it its own dps spec, but added a ton of new spells and removed some old ones, then mop they redid it again, giving it summonable imps and different metamorph abilities, then in wod they redid it again, doing a ton of new spells and unique features, and was way too difficult to play optimally. then in legion of course metamorph gone, and the new "Demon commander" playstyle, then bfa again they changed it to be more about summoning TONS instead of summoning a few and empowering them.
God i miss wotlk warlock and there talent tree and party buff of 10% spel power. Think later was buff that every one in raid got it ? And do miss other pet aoe buff
well these videos cover all the expansions... so there has to be retail footage, and since it wasnt added till TBC i cant use classic footage like i did for the voidwalker video.
@@blubbblubber6113 This one. I didn't MIND it in legion with BiS legendaries, but it was held back by them and also had the issue of simply not being OP Affliction.
@@blubbblubber6113 I don't. They just feel like 3-minuate cooldown animations, which they are. They're there to do a little damage, not be attacked or positioned or set up or anything, they're all just basic dps with visual flare, no potential for anything advanced or creative. Other classes have their 3-minute nukes, yours just appear as demons. Class pruning hasn't stopped the homogenization.
The Felguard's idle animation in WC3 is him doing squats, that's the kind of power level he's at

For 14:01 not sure why but I feel that Threatening presence might sound as a Jojo reference (you begin to hear the pillar men theme on the background).
They made Demo so good and later they just decide to destroy it, because monkeys are working in blizzard ... First was the Metamorph, later the Fel/Wrathguard. What will be removed or squished next.. Hand of Gul'dan(which was already nerfed), Imps or Shadowbolt...
Felguard.
Felguard.
Felguard.
Felguard.
Failguard.
Felguard > Wrathguard tbh
What would you rather have as your demonic bodyguard? A rippling mountain of muscle with a giant axe... or some lanky fucker with skinny legs and an oversized spatula?
Song at 17:49?
Thrillseeker 1 - Gustavsson & Sandberg
@@RazanaArcclaw Thaaaaank you!
Dude, i need to know the name of that epic choral track! Plis tell me

Thrillseeker 1 - Gustavsson & Sandberg

18:16 he said smell heheheheh
some of these abilities should be brought back in some shape or form.
Man, i dont play wow anymore, but this made me miss Cata and Mop like crazy. They were such revolutionary expansions compared to tbc and wotlk, which were more boring imo
Has demo lock always been game breaking? Or does blizzard think it lacks identity? Why so many reworks? I mained warrior at the time :P
mostly they didnt know what to do with it, vanilla and tbc it was a weird mix of just buffing your pet, or sacrficing it, it wasnt a "spec on its own" then in wotlk they made it a support spec with soulfire and execute, then cata they made it its own dps spec, but added a ton of new spells and removed some old ones, then mop they redid it again, giving it summonable imps and different metamorph abilities, then in wod they redid it again, doing a ton of new spells and unique features, and was way too difficult to play optimally. then in legion of course metamorph gone, and the new "Demon commander" playstyle, then bfa again they changed it to be more about summoning TONS instead of summoning a few and empowering them.
God i miss wotlk warlock and there talent tree and party buff of 10% spel power. Think later was buff that every one in raid got it ? And do miss other pet aoe buff
I wanna know your nameplate addon please it looks cool
or unitframe idk what you call it but its looks cool how the dps numbers go
@@aurathvol1084 Hiru uses Mik Scrolling Battle text for damage/heal numbers but that Warlock isn't Hiru.
the addon for the numbers flying off their nameplates is: Nameplate scrolling combat text
@@RazanaArcclaw thank you
You sound practically identical to Dzeeff
nvm, mixed up with theduellogs
pretty cool, i like both series
The only rework ill accept is bringing back the doomguard.
and infernal for demo, and the upgraded demon models like abysal. Also having a big pitlord CD(like warlocks version of army of the dead)
Hes Sven!!
Dont worry , guys , we will get another rework.I can smell the rework coming.
I love you daddy Hiru
are we going to skip that the demo spec was crap all this time till bfa?
its pronounced grim-oire(owaa sound)
>grim ore
I wish there wasnt retail footage in these videos
well these videos cover all the expansions... so there has to be retail footage, and since it wasnt added till TBC i cant use classic footage like i did for the voidwalker video.
@@RazanaArcclaw Hi Felpalgue. Sorry you're not a girl :(
Wow editor is bad.
I know right?
D:
grimoire. not grimore... pls....
TO PATHETIC....TO TO PATHETIC....
As a warlock main, please stop reworking demo it was fine but now it's just ?????
Really? I like it the most at the current state. I think it captures the fantasy of a conjurer pretty well.
@@blubbblubber6113 This one. I didn't MIND it in legion with BiS legendaries, but it was held back by them and also had the issue of simply not being OP Affliction.
@@blubbblubber6113 I don't. They just feel like 3-minuate cooldown animations, which they are. They're there to do a little damage, not be attacked or positioned or set up or anything, they're all just basic dps with visual flare, no potential for anything advanced or creative. Other classes have their 3-minute nukes, yours just appear as demons. Class pruning hasn't stopped the homogenization.
After MOP demo was shit
9:50 Ew
I thought Felplague was a female player but you used the pronoun so now I'm disappointed.
