Demonic Knowledge Demonic Knowledge

Warlock · Demonology · Row 5 of 7 · 3 ranks
NEW in Forever

Demonic Knowledge sits in row 5 of the Warlock Demonology tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 3 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

New in Forever. This talent never existed in Classic, so don't go looking for an old version to compare. There is none.

What Demonic Knowledge does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases your spell damage and your Demon pet's spell damage by up to 33% of your level while you have a summoned Demon pet active.
  2. Rank 2: Increases your spell damage and your Demon pet's spell damage by up to 67% of your level while you have a summoned Demon pet active.
  3. Rank 3: Increases your spell damage and your Demon pet's spell damage by up to 100% of your level while you have a summoned Demon pet active.

How to reach Demonic Knowledge

Row 5 opens after you spend 20 points in the earlier Demonology rows. Level 30 is the earliest you can pick up Demonic Knowledge.

Is Demonic Knowledge worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
