With the sun setting on Dragonflight and The War Within on the horizon, our Demonology Warlock Writer, Not, offers a retrospective highlighting Demonology's journey in Dragonflight and shares their hopes for the spec's next evolution with a War Within Wishlist.
Overall the new talent system has favoured Demonology quite a bit throughout Dragonflight; from having strong capstone talents throughout varying patches and even having strong talent choices overall throughout the tree. There has typically only been one «niche» talent build that you play each patch however that can feel somewhat limiting to player choice and certain tier bonuses that pidgeon holed you into taking specific talents for that patch. Generally speaking these things have been well received and even felt good to play (at least until 10.2 in my opinion).
With the latest raid release Demonology went well away from playing what most people consider to be a defining ability subset to playing something that just doesn't feel as good to play, especially given how Demonology has played throughout the majority of Dragonflight and even going back to Shadowlands. That combination of playing Summon Demonic Tyrant (with Soulbound Tyrant + Grand Warlock's Design) making our damage profiles way more fun to play than reducing Summon Demonic Tyrant to basically being a remodeled Darkglare (sorry Affliction players, Darkglare has not been an impactful cooldown button since Legion). We went through a few different talent tree iterations and the addition of the Fel Invocation/Shadow Invocation talents really fleshed out the top of our tree without taking too much away from the rest of the talents.
The one major pain point of our talent tree, unfortunately, is smack dab in the middle of the tree and that eyesore is Doom. While I understand this is an iconic Demonology ability since we went through the removal of Metamorphosis and became the «summoner» spec during Legion,

There is the thought that films resonate more with us based on where we are in our lives at the time we first encounter them. Back in 2004, I thought EuroTrip was incredibly clever and funny, but figured it would age poorly and show its faults more on consecutive re-watches. That was absolutely true, yet I still find myself laughing at this movie, and it may have even been part of the inspiration I needed to import a British wife. For all of the ways this juvenile comedy can be torn apart, EuroTrip still has plenty of frequent flier miles to offer.
Blizzard has announced that the Warrior Class Talent Tree will be updated in War Within, allowing Warriors to take Shockwave much easier! A common piece of feedback from Warriors is that Shockwave is hard to take due to its position at the bottom of the tree near the capstones. In order to take it, they would need to lose some DPS for the utility which ultimately makes players choose not to take it and have no utility in Mythic+.
