Press Start, then cast the top available priority ability…

Cast the first available ability in the priority. Procs and cooldowns change the right answer every GCD — that's the muscle memory the trainer builds.

Cast priority

  1. 1Metamorphosis — Open burst window, sync with raid cooldowns
  2. 2Immolate — Seed of setup DoT — keep up for Conflagrate
  3. 3Incinerate — Primary nuke, boosted by Immolate
  4. 4Shadow Bolt — Filler when moving-less and Immolate is fresh
  5. 5Life Tap — Tap between casts to sustain mana
  6. 6Felguard Attack — Keep the Felguard on target with Cleave on packs

Rotation notes that actually move the meter

  • Immolate uptime feeds Incinerate damage and Molten Core — never let it lapse.
  • Metamorphosis on pull with Heroism/raid cooldowns; Immolation Aura inside the window.
  • Decimation makes Soul Fire instant below 35% — weave it into the execute phase.
  • Demonic Pact scales with your spell power: gem/enchant spell power even as a pet spec.

Copyable macros

Priority macro — paste into a chat macro slot; it walks the priority top-down when spammed:

# Demonology Warlock — priority (WoW Forever)
/castsequence reset=15 Immolate, Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate
/cast Metamorphosis
/cast Life Tap
/cast Shadow Bolt

Try it in the simulator

Scroll back to the trainer at the top of the rotation section — or open the full rotation trainer to switch specs. Muscle memory from 3–4 clean trainer rounds (80%+ priority score) translates directly to boss DPS in WoW Forever.
