Summon your Imp with Summon Imp, sacrifice it with Demonic Sacrifice, then summon your Succubus again with Summon Succubus. Demonic Pact keeps the Imp's sacrifice effect (more Shadow damage). Summoning the Imp again cancels it. Keep Soul Link on, and apply a Spellstone from Create Spellstone to your weapon. Let your Succubus engage first, then brand the enemy with Searing Pain for Demonic Brand. Reapply it once your pet has used up the brand or after 10 sec, even mid-channel. Apply Curse of the Elements first, then Corruption. Add Bane of Agony on enemies that will last and Immolate on enemies with a lot of health. Then fill with Drain Life. When the enemy is about to die, don't start a new drain or damage over time; finish it with your wand. If your health is high and your mana is low, cast Life Tap instead of Drain Life.

Solo

• ManaWhen mana runs short, use Life Tap while your health is high. If an enemy is hitting you, check your health first.
• Recovering healthRecover lost health with Drain Life. Its range is short, so stay close.
• Soul ShardsWhen you need Soul Shards, finish enemies with rank 1 Drain Soul. You always get one if an enemy that gives experience dies while drained, and its damage can also give one. Summoning demons other than your Imp, creating Healthstones, Soulstones, Spellstones and Firestones, the Ritual of Summoning all use Soul Shards.
• Extra enemiesIf another enemy joins, send it away with Fear. Damage can break it, so use it on an enemy without your damage over time, and only with no other enemies nearby.
• Fleeing enemiesUse Curse of Recklessness on enemies that run away. Enemies with this curse ignore fear effects.
• In troubleKeep a Healthstone from Create Healthstone ready and use it as soon as you are in danger.
• Just in caseWhen hunting alone, keep a Soulstone from Create Soulstone on yourself.
• Demons, elementalsIf an extra demon or elemental joins, take it out with Banish. Banished enemies can't be damaged.
• Shadow damageAgainst enemies that cast Shadow spells, absorb them in advance with Shadow Ward.
• SurroundedWhen surrounded, scatter enemies with Howl of Terror. Damage can break it and fleeing enemies can bring others, so save it for emergencies.
• Enemy on youWhen an enemy reaches you, send it running with Death Coil and regain health. It also stops the enemy's cast.
• Your sacrificeThe effect lasts 2 hours. When it ends, summon your Imp, sacrifice it, then summon your Succubus again.
• Pet healthKeep your demon alive. Between fights, a bandage or summoning it again usually beats Health Funnel. Your spell damage also heals it a little.
• ResummoningIf your pet dies mid-fight, use Fel Domination and summon it again. With Master Summoner, it comes out almost instantly.
• Big pullsWhere many enemies gather, bring your Voidwalker and use Sacrifice when in danger. This gives up your Voidwalker.
• HumanoidsIf another humanoid joins, hold one without your damage over time with Seduction. Damage breaks it.

Party

Deal damage with your demon and help your party with Healthstones, Soulstones and summons.

• ThreatWait for your tank to hold the enemy before attacking.
• High-threat spellWith all 3 points in Demonic Brand, you generate half the threat with Searing Pain, but the brand's Shadow damage is high threat, so use Searing Pain less if your tank is struggling.
• Single targetOnce your tank has the enemy, brand it with Searing Pain, and reapply once your pet has used up the brand or after 10 sec. Add Bane of Agony and Corruption on bosses and enemies that last. Otherwise use your wand, and fill with Drain Life from level 30.
• Before the dungeonBefore entering, make Healthstones with Create Healthstone and hand them out.
• Healer backupPut a Soulstone from Create Soulstone on your healer so they can bring everyone back after a wipe.
• SummoningBring late party members with Ritual of Summoning. Two other party members must help.
• ManaRefill mana with Life Tap and recover the lost health with Drain Life. Health you spend this way adds to your healer's work.
• PacksUse Hellfire in the middle of packs your tank has gathered. It damages you too and costs a lot of mana, so watch your health and mana.
• Boss curseOn bosses, use Curse of the Elements if your party has more spellcasters, or Curse of Recklessness if it has more melee. Your Curse stacks with your Bane.
• Dangerous castsUse Curse of Tongues on enemies that cast dangerous spells or heals.
• Demons, elementalsTaking a demon or elemental out with Banish makes your tank's job easier.
• Pet settingsIf you bring your Voidwalker, turn off Torment autocast so it doesn't take enemies from your tank.
• DispelsWith your Felhunter out, remove harmful magic from allies with Devour Magic.
• InterruptsTurn off autocast on your Felhunter's Spell Lock and press it yourself to stop dangerous casts.

• A Tailoring camp gives Spirit, which feeds Life Tap.
• With Demonic Energies, Life Tap mana also goes to your pet, so the Spirit camp pays off even more.
• An Enchanting camp gives all stats and armor; an Alchemy camp gives mana per 5 seconds.
