Can't get Ailments when your shields are up, and Demo is primarily a shield tank, since Sadist heals his shields (and health), with each kill. Also his Shields be effected by the damage caps of RA/KA just as health is.

In theory, the Demo gets kills, which heal him, more he kills, more he heals, repeating the cycle is how he was build to be a better horde tanker. He lacks the stunning potential or raw durability of the Assault tank, but makes up for it with self healing, better damage output (TTD), and taking fewer ailments.
