Thread: Demonologist leveling build

    Allow me to chime in with my own recently acquired experiences in solo leveling. Keep in mind my leveling was done on Crom, i.e. a PvE server. Things might be different on Fury. And feel free to critique away.

    Leveling the demo to 80 can roughly be divided into three stages:

    Level 1-39:
    It does not really matter much whether you go Havoc or Conflagration. The talents do very similar things to Fires of Gehenna respectively Shockstrike. I would lean towards Havoc since that will boost the one instant damage spell you get at level 20, Shock, and it will give you the bigger frontload since Shockstrike does more damage that Fires of Gehenna, and the longer cast time does not matter on the initial cast.

    An Argument could be made for Backdraft, but you will only get it very close to 40, and as long as Hellfire Stream is not instant it is not as good, either, dragging down Backdraft as well.

    Level 40-59
    Level 40 is key since at that level you can get one of two very interesting talents: Chained Shockstrike http://goo.gl/cNMX4V or Combustion http://goo.gl/a6dF7J. You have to pick one, though. And while Combustion is great, Chained Shockstrike definitely overperformed for me. Most of your leveling will be done fighting small groups of enemies. So that one would be my personal recommendation.

    Remember to save up enough talent points prior to 40, though, so you can max the talent of your choice immediately.

    Level 60-80
    Level 60 is also key since now you can get both Chained Shockstrike and Combustion, and you definitely should. Respec if necessary, to something like this: http://goo.gl/W7mwdw

    From then on, build towards Pact of Earthwalking and you should be fine.
