so i just hit demon today and i had a few question on how gameplay will change.

lvls 9-29 i was able to spam ream nonstop for awesome damage. and at 29 i started use some of that chi for devour.

from 59-89 i pretty much stopped using ream for damage as a single hit did more than the entire ream DoT. instead i relied on devour to increase my damage per hit. and then save chi for sunder

now that i have demon ream with and twice as much damage and a lower cooldown i was wondering. if it would be effective to start using ream for damage again or if it would be better to to continue save chi for devour, sunder, and my newly obtained demon spark.


oh btw i don't use human form

my current demon skills are:
true form
bestial rage
Flesh Ream
Shapeshifting intensity
Alacrity of the beast
Killing level 80's with a lvl 60 is a lot more fun than killing level 90's with a level 100.

    I have to assume you are referring to grinding. If so, then Beasital Rage, Devour, Normal attack (repeat as necessary) and Sunder as needed. You should always have enough Chi if you always have Beastial Rage on cool down.
    It's a game and I'm proud to be a stupid fail demon barb!

    correct i was referring to grinding.

    if you dont Slunder, you can Demon spark to heal

    Flesh Ream is for Holding Aggro from boss then grinding..

    As other have said:

    Bestial Rage + Devour + Normal hits untill mobs is gone...


    the chi wont be a problem with this pattern...you can use demon spark to heal 20% and get nice damage boost...


    just use it when you are ganked or if you feel like deal some big numbers...



    btw at your current level/skill you could start AOE grind instead of just 1 on 1

    for the longest time the only demon skill i had was True Form, so my basic single mob grind method was as mentioned... BR -> Devour -> normals

    Now that I've bought the "all skills" tome from mystical librarian and got lucky with a random book from boutique agent, I've learned Axe/Hammer, Poison Fang, Onslaught, Slam (nice to get extra chi!), Roar, and BKI (which seems to have a flawed skill description as I do not get extra 50% chi except when casting this buff it gives 50% more chi than it used to >.>) Now the general method becomes Mighty Swing -> Demon Onslaught -> [insert any skill here] -> normals

    With a jones blessing and 12600 HP standing up I can finally one shot extra mobs on my OHT daily with: Mighty Swing -> Demon Onslaught -> ToP -> Armageddon [insert 61k non debuffed crits here]b:dirty

    120k crit record in FC after HF & TM
