How the Demonology Warlock guide is built

Where the data comes from

This Demonology Warlock raid guide is built from real boss kill logs uploaded to Warcraft Logs for the current raid, enriched with character data from the official Blizzard API. The talents, gear, item levels, and stat priorities shown here reflect how Demonology Warlock players actually perform on raid bosses, while the pick rate shows how often the spec appears in those logs. Extreme outlier parses are capped so a few standout kills cannot skew the numbers.

How tiers are assigned

The raid tier shown for Demonology Warlock comes from two factors. Performance compares its average damage against the highest damage spec among raid damage dealers, and popularity compares its raid pick rate against an even share across all damage specs. Strong damage with real representation earns S or A, while weaker output or low usage moves it down through B and C to D.

This Demonology Warlock raid placement is a snapshot of the current tier and shifts with patches, class tuning, and sample size. Use the guide as a starting point and adapt the build to your fight and group.
