It is VERY important to note that this is a rough outline of desired secondary stats. Stat weights will vary from player to player due to varying gear sets and other external factors. The best way to tell what your own stat weights are is a raidbots.com Top Gear sim with Gems and Enchants taken into account. If you don't want to do that then you can just follow this.

Consumables

Enchants and Gems

1. Your first Spark based craft will be a Weapon of some sort with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension.

• Crafting a Staff early on with 2 Spark of Omens is advised, but end patch BIS will have Mythic Queen Ansurek Main Hand and Crafted Offhand.

2. Your second Spark based craft will be a cloth armor item of some sort with Writhing Armor Banding.

• It is also possible to wear a 590 Crafted item of lesser value (such as Bracers or Cloak, which do not require a Spark of Omens) with Writhing Armor Banding Writhing Armor Banding Embellished, and craft a different piece of gear with you next spark that is of greater value. This may be the case for players who choose to craft a staff early, instead of a MH/OH Weapon.

*Number of Imps will vary based off Demonic Core and Calling procs. For a more detailed breakdown, see below. A video guide is also provided.

 It is important to react to Demonic Calling or Demonic Core procs in your setup properly which change your shard consumption. It is worth practicing the opener to better learn how to approach them with Demonic Calling/Soul Conduit procs etc.

Maintenance Rotation and Implosion Rotation

Outside of your Tyrant setup, Demonology's rotation is very simple. You want to cast Call Dreadstalkers on cooldown while also casting 3 shard Hand of Gul'dans. You will never hard cast Demonbolt. All Demonbolt casts will be through Demonic Core procs.

1. You will want to cast your Charhound as close to on cooldown as possible in between Tyrant casts, as it is a very tight window with its CD being 30 seconds, and Tyrant being 1 minute.

2. Leave Soul Strike on auto-cast.

Implosion Rotation

When it comes to Implosion, it is a DPS gain in 2+ stacked targets. Your cue to implode is based on when your first set of imps are about to expire. A Weak Aura that tracks then is recommended for this purpose if you aren't familiar with the flow of Demonology. One can be found below in the Weak Auras section.

Doom Play/Maintenance

If you are playing the Doom talent, you will want to aim for as high of an uptime as possible in single target, which MAY mean holding a single Demonic Core stack for reapplication once the current Doom falls. You will also want to apply multiple Doom effects in Mythic + settings onto different enemies.
