Demonology Warlock rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Tyrant lands on a full board of imps. Every time.
Rice Rotations reads your Demonology Warlock from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Demonology Warlock profile plays
Demonology is a pet count spec. Rice keeps Call Dreadstalkers and Hand of Gul’dan flowing so imps are always arriving, spends Demonbolt to keep shards up, and does not let shards cap while a summon is available.
DPS is about never wasting a global. Rice keeps your builder and spender priority correct through procs and haste changes, lines burst cooldowns up with the window they are meant for, and switches to the multi-target priority when the pull is actually stacked rather than when a timer says so.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Demonology Warlock settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Summon Demonic Tyrant is the whole spec and it is only pressed with the pets out to extend, which is the mistake that costs the most damage by hand. Grimoire: Felguard and Nether Portal are lined up with that window.
What the Demonology Warlock rotation handles
- Imp count and Dreadstalkers kept flowing
- Soul Shards spent before capping
- Demonic Tyrant pressed only with pets out to extend
- Pet Spell Lock on interrupts, Devour Magic to purge, Unending Resolve on damage
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Single target protects the Tyrant window. On packs Implosion becomes the imp spender when the mobs are actually stacked, and the profile checks that before throwing away a Tyrant’s worth of imps.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Demonology Warlock questions
- Does it get the Tyrant window right?
- That is the main reason to run a profile here: Tyrant is only used with the pets out that it should extend, rather than on cooldown.
- Does it use Implosion?
- On stacked packs, yes, and it checks target count first so it does not throw the imps away for two mobs.
