Level 49 Demonology Warlock twink build

This is a 31-point Demonology core for Soul Link: Demonic Embrace, Fel Stamina, Master Summoner, Fel Domination and 4/5 Master Demonologist make your pet hard to remove and let you recover when it dies. The 9 Affliction points buy instant Corruption plus better Life Tap and a little Affliction resist reduction, which is exactly what a twink wants in short, mobile fights.

Gear leans into the efficient PvP knee rather than pure glass-cannon damage: around the balance-60 region you gain huge toughness for only about a 7% throughput loss versus the max-damage set; pushing further starts costing more damage and even drops spell hit. Soul Harvester, Ban'thok Sash and Rune of Perfection give your key spell-hit/resist tools, while Underworld Band, Shadoweave Shoulders, Robes of Servitude, Spellshock Leggings and Woestave keep shadow pressure high. Goblin Rocket Helmet is chosen over spell-power hats because an extra hard engage/reset wins duels. Defiler’s Cloth Boots are mandatory for the run speed, and the Arathi Basin absorb trinket helps survive rogue/warrior openers.

Keep Demon Armor and Soul Link active before fighting. Use Succubus for seduce setups, Felhunter into casters, and Voidwalker when you expect to be trained. Open with Fear or Rocket Helmet, apply Amplify Curse into Curse of Agony, then instant Corruption and Siphon Life. Death Coil and Howl of Terror are not damage buttons first; save them to stop lethal pressure, create distance, or secure a kill. Drain Life when low, and otherwise use Searing Pain as your quick cast filler. Swap the curse situationally: Curse of Tongues into casters, Curse of Weakness into hard melee, Curse of Agony when you can free-cast pressure.
