A Demonology Warlock is very easy to spot. Prior to Wrath (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/wrath-of-the-lich-king/) or Patch 3.0 (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/patch-3.0/), she'll more often than not have the Soul Link (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=19028) buff. But since Soul Link was moved to Tier 3 of the Demonology tree, it will no longer be as exclusive to Demonologists. But the Felguard (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=30146) is another tell-tale sign of a die-hard Demonologist and is a favored pet for damage and the Warrior-like Intercept (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=47996). In Wrath of the Lich King (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/wrath-of-the-lich-king/), that trend of being easily identifiable continues with the 51-point talent Metamorphosis (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=47241), which transforms the Warlock into a demon herself. Demonologists are not exactly known for their subtlety.
The most notable thing about Demonologists is their high survivability. Many of the talents in the tree is centered around a synergistic relationship between the Warlock and the demon that keeps both alive and makes them more powerful. In fact, the most hardy of all Warlock specs -- the SL/SL -- relies on Soul Link (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=19028) and Demonic Resilience (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=30321), deep in Demonology, along with Affliction's Siphon Life (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=30911). In Wrath, survivability continues with the added bonus of getting pets to scale up the Warlock's DPS. And we all love DPS.Continue reading Blood Pact: Demonology in Wrath Beta (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/09/15/blood-pact-demonology-in-wrath-beta/)
