Editing The General and Generic Venomancer Guide (section)

== So Sage or Demon? ==

In general, sage is more defensive driven, PvE based, stable damage, and conserves more chi to unload those spark eruptions. Demon is often described as being more PvP based, offensive, and spike damage. For the venomancer though, it also splits into the paths that sage is more friendly for Fox Formers, while demon benefits Human Form venos even more-so. Some very strong factors for the sage include the 100% sage Leech, Self-Purifying Summer Sprint, and 30% Amplify Damage. On the other hand, the demon Masteries that increase crits, the 20% chance to make all hit crit for demon Fox Wallop, the demon versions of Venomous and Ironwood, the 75% Bramble, and 90 sec cooldowns for the regeneration skills are just as attractive. Also note that a good chunk of the sage/demon skill books are very difficult to find or make. If you're not planning on staying around long term enough to get the benefits of the upper level sage/demon skills, feel free to decide simply based off of the level 89 sage/demon skills.
