In the lore we don't tame demons, we summon them. However, the idea is interessting. I would preffer if all demons were alike in power, with unique utility. That way we can pick and choose what we want for whatever we do, questing, PvPing or raiding. If the requirements for summoning these demons would demand certain quests that involved learning about the demon we summon. Then we'd would be forced into the world, hunt down the demons we want in order to learn how to summon them. Also, more sexy Succubusses for my army of demons please. I'd love a reason to use this one in a boss fight.
I wish there was a glyph to replace the felhound with this:
Please Blizzard
They couldn't give the old succubus ( even though it's updated) pants because people would get triggered, so I suppose they gave this one some pants to satisfy Anita
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
well yes we dont tame them, but we have enslave demon, so we should be able to enslave it, then learn to summon that demon
we have control pitlords and other great demons before...

demon hunter pet? whut? its literally just an armoured upgraded sucubus
Great glyph.
Now let me use the pet.
Really impressed with this.
But like others, I wish I had a reason to use her. Forcing us in to one pet per spec was not a great idea. Then again, if she did as much damage as my doomguard, I still wouldn't use her, due to the run between targets annoyance. Sigh.
Looks good, but...why are they making glyphs for a pet basically no one uses? I think they would better spend their time making other glyphs for different pets/spells...
You have the cause and effect confused. They didn't make a new Succubus model for Warlocks because they were bored or think it'll encourage pet diversity or someone in the art department has a fetish. They made some new Succubus models for the upcoming Tomb of Sargaras raid, and decided to get out ahead of player requests for once and immediately offered up a glyph to give Warlock players access to them. Which is commendable, even if the Succubus is still a useless pet that never gets used.
Because it's useless and I'm better off with a doomguard/infernal to get my shit done faster anyways?
The only purpose of that pet is to tank, but there's no content where I need the voidwalker to tank for me where said voidwalker would not die immediately. Open world is the only place I can use a voidwalker much like a succubus, but both are suboptimal pets.

Hmmm, if only there's a reason to bring them out.
But by any reasonable measure the succubus is the last pet you'd use. Basically you're saying that the pet is rendered so irrelevant you can use one that is essentially useless. And you won;t be doing this in 7.2 because those elites will be back to what they were before we outgeared them by crazy amounts.
I don;t get why they'd spend so much time and effort making such a terrific looking pet by focussing on the succubus, as it has zero use whatever outside of pvp. Indeed, the specialisations are designed that way: each one pushes you to use a specific pet and using the succubus as any warlock spec if a dps loss. For affliction and destruction the only viable choices are the Supremacy demons - doomguard for single target, infernal for aoe/tank or the specific spec pet in the form of the felhunter and imp for damage and the voidwalker and a tank if you don't have Supremacy.
I have long said that I'd love for the succubus to be viable, particularly for affliction (I think she actually fits better with the fantasy, with Lash of Pain: we kill our victim slowly, she makes them enjoy it lol)
Can but hope for rejigs on the other demons. The succubus redesign looks great. But in pve you just won't use it

You won't get an incubus because they are demon rapists.
Succubi seduce their victims. The wow succubus even has that as an ability.
Incubi are a bit more umm "direct" in what they do....
I think it's a shame our poets are so limited. We've had whole expansions based around demons, in Legion we wield a legendary weapon...and these are the best we can bind to our wills?
Particularly demonology. You don;t feellike a "master of demons" when all you got is some lowly imps, dogs and a felguard. At least you get a fel-lord in PVP.
The irony being in WoD you tier armour randomly summoned a much wider variety of demons

Succubus model looks good, but I'm still waiting to do more with her than PVP or /flirt.
Back when dot snapshotting was a thing, I wrote this piece of junk.
succubi are rapists, too. they seduce in a way that's much more rape than seduction. forcing the semen out of the penis, then they either transform into the incubus and rape a woman or give it to an incubus to rape a woman and impregnate her, depending on the mythology you go with.
besides, they're simply based on religious demons. they don't have to behave the same exact way.
