Conduits

Potency conduits enhance your class' throughput potential

Endurance conduits focus on your defensive toolkit, by providing things like cooldown reduction or amplification to sustain/defensive cooldowns

Finesse conduits enhance niche parts of the spec's toolkit

Conduit Overview

I am known around these parts of the internet by my in-game name of Not. I have been playing a Warlock since the start of Cataclysm and have not really deviated from it since. Over the years I became more involved in theorycrafting to the point of developing and maintaining a resource dedicated to all Warlocks, Lock One Stop Shop.

You can catch me online on Twitter, Twitch, and Youtube.

Best Potency Conduits for Demonology WarlocksDemonology Specific Conduits

Conduit

Description

Raid verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

生血

While there are some talent builds that revolve around 恶魔之箭 and gaining access to more 恶魔之核 is nice, this conduit is weak compared to others.

Good DPS gain

肉食追踪者

Pairs nicely with 恐惧奇袭 and 来自暗影 in AoE situations and is a build enabler for Mythic+.

Minor DPS gain

Major DPS gain

恶魔敢死队

A strong conduit overall since Felguard tends to be a solid source of our damage output. The most well-rounded option.

Major DPS gain

暴虐之魂

Having further access to increased demon damage even after your 召唤恶魔暴君 expires is strong overall, and also provides a predictable source of another stack of 恶魔之核

Good DPS gain

Covenant Specific Conduits

Conduit

Description

Raid verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

灵魂奉纳

Having the option/ability to further stack damage onto your demons is a very appealing trait, especially if you can line up 碎魂奉纳 with 召唤恶魔暴君.

Moderate DPS gain

灾难之源

Making your curses last longer is not useful and increases the damage over time component of 灾祸降临.

Minor DPS gain

致命屠戮

A simple damage amplifier to 屠戮箭 that could enable the ability to be a reliable source of target-swapping at later ranks.

Moderate DPS gain

噬魂者

Increasing the radius of 灵魂腐化 is not a big deal. Damage increase is weak compared to other conduits.

Moderate DPS gain

Best Raiding and M+ Potency Conduits for Demonology Warlocks

恶魔敢死队 is the best overall conduit available for single target.

生血 smooths out the flow of 恶魔之核 generation and gives you more overall charges for movement when needed.

暴虐之魂 can be changed with Borne of Blood for longer burst windows. After your Demonic Tyrant expires, you'll get significant additional uptime of demonic damage, further extending your damage window.

恶魔敢死队 is still the best overall conduit available for single target.

生血 smoothens out the flow of 恶魔之核 generation and gives you more overall charges for movement, when needed, the additional Soul Shard generation it provides is a big boon to your overal Wild Imp count throughout an AoE scenario, leading to more Implosions.

肉食追踪者 should be interchanged with Borne of Blood when playing the Dog build, since additional 恐惧之咬 will provide higher uptime of 来自暗影.

Best Finesse Conduits for Demonology Warlocks

Conduit

Description

Raid verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

恶魔动能

Not a strong choice, since in most cases using 恶魔法阵：传送 will be enough movement.

Mediocre at best

邪能迅捷

Easily the most useful Finesse conduit available to us since summoning your pet after a wipe/death while 邪能统御 is painful.

Very Useful

恐惧之影

Mostly useless for all content outside of soloing.

Not useful

基尔罗格的狡诈

You aren't going to cast this in combat ever since it leaves your character vulnerable to encounter mechanics; out of combat, you can simply go to where you want your 恶魔法阵 placed.

Not useful

Best Endurance Conduits for Demonology Warlocks

Conduit

Description

Raid verdict

Mythic+ Verdict

累积活力

Largely only useful for solo content.

Awful

Mildly OK

恶魔血石

The most useful Endurance conduit due to healthstones being used often in both situations, and having additional healing available to you through Leech is never bad.

Good all rounder

决意屏障

Reducing our major source of damage reduction is good, but it being locked behind a 30-second cooldown makes it lose some appeal. Typically, the cooldown is not reduced quickly enough for this conduit to be helpful.

Not great

2 important questions about Diabolic Bloodstone:

How does it stack/does it stack at all? If multiple people all use Healthstones inside the duration, do you get a ton of Leech, does it refresh or extend the duration, or does it do nothing at all?

Secondly, and far more important, is it actually specifically *YOUR* healthstones? Is the power of it massively nerfed in a group with more than one Warlock?

@NotWarlock, I think it might be time to revisit this guide. Bloodmallet, using the latest Simulationcraft data, is currently suggesting for demonology warlocks that 生血 is currently the best for single target (and, obviously, multi-target), but it might require a talent reconfiguration (depending on your setup). It also apparently affects the stat distribution. I went from haste/crit to mastery/versatility (which was odd) after getting the 恐角梦魇大军 legendary (which is now currently also best for single and multi-target).

Talent build, as suggested by Bloodmallet is:
Level 15: 恶魔力量
Level 25: 魔性征召
Level 30: Optional (Pick what you want)
Level 35: 召唤邪犬
Level 40: Optional (Pick what you want)
Level 45: 魔典：恶魔卫士
Level 50: 恶魔吞噬

I have bounced around a bit on the last 2 - 恶魔吞噬 makes the most sense when you have a lot of imps due to the legendary and really boosts 召唤恶魔暴君.

The part I was on the fence about was the level 45 talents. Having a constant spawn of imps from 内心之魔 to use makes the flow a bit smoother; It probably gives a more steady amount of damage versus burst 魔典：恶魔卫士. Apparently, according to Blood Mallet, the difference is about 0.85% (at least as of today) in overall damage vs the two talents.
