Warlock · Demonology · Row 6 of 7 · 5 ranks
Changed from Classic

Master Demonologist sits in row 6 of the Warlock Demonology tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 5 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.

How to reach Master Demonologist

Row 6 opens after you spend 25 points in the earlier Demonology rows. Level 35 is the earliest you can pick up Master Demonologist.

Is Master Demonologist 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.
