Replace him with someone that makes the one spell that might have given Warlocks a better chance in arena completely useless. 8 yards and 4 seconds? Plus we're still completely immobile and can't cast any other spells. Now that Xel is gone, scrap Cataclysm and make a new spell. He was willing to work with us to balance it and find the right fit for the spell, while whoever decides on these changes now is obviously trying to rub salt in the wound by making this spell worthless.
I have to say, I was SUPER excited about warlock changes both for 5.0.5 and now 5.1, entirely thanks to Xelnath. Now that he's gone, I feel like I've lost hope in the class and the devs ability to do what's right with Warlocks. =(
In case you're still reading these forums Xel, thanks for everything you've done for us. What happened to you is probably the #1 disgusting thing that this company has done and unless they find someone equally as passionate as you about the class I may very well give up on WoW all together. Guess that's what happens when passion conflicts with the rigid ways of an old organization. Really sad to hear, especially seeing how Blizz started out as a group of nerds just wanting to make great games.
