This guide is here to cover the basics of Demonology in pve over the course of Legion. It will primarily be focusing on end game raiding but I'll try and keep it updated for mythic+ dungeons as well.
Please feel free to discuss anything about the spec here, be it you disagreeing with something, needing help, general questions or you just want to meme it up.
If you ever need rotation help feel free to post here but please read this first so you can log and post said logs here, I can’t help you if you don't give me your logs

A big thank you to these people:
Without these people I would not have been able to post this.
Not for making a guide on MMO so I could read it and make my guide based on it since he and others covered almost everything.
Silver for being Not's theorycrafting monkey so I could read it and take it :P.
OOMM for making some of the most amazing Weak Auras so lazy raiders like myself don't have to make our own.
Zinnin for developing zPets which will make life a lot easier for lazy raiders like myself.
Terryn & Gahhdo for making Simcraft work, seriously thank you.
Hedo for making his logging guide.

Legion changes:
Metamorphosis is gone, no more chaos wave and we no longer use demonic fury some old abilities have been changed and I'll talk about them later.
We now utilizes temp summons to deal the majority of our damage which cost Soul Shards, Soul Shards cap at 5.
We generate Soul Shards via shadowbolt, demonwrath,Doom ticks and if talented Shadowflame and a 50% chance on Demonic empowerment with power trip.
Our mastery also changed from being flat damage +big boost during meta into a flat damage boost for our pets when Demonic empowerment is active.
We also no longer have weapon drops as we all now have artifact weapons, we utilise the Skull of the Man'ari (Thal'kiel) who will serve as our path for character progression this xpac while also roasting us from time to time and making quips on what we do.
