What do you think the next expansion will add for warlocks?

[Elise the Seeker]

Every expansion new things are unlocked for classes.
What do you think personally warlocks will get?

I for one, hope we finally get a new demon. Pitlord maybe since we enslaved one in greenfire quest?

[Grizelda]

I think they came up with some great new directions for each spec in MoP. Hopefully they just clean up and streamline the implementation.


As for a new talent or spell? I want drain mana back.

[Vampyren]

Hopefully a new pet, or new modifications of the old, perhaps some new spells for every pet.
And since i am destruction, more fire to burn people ^^

[Deleted]

A Flamethrower spell.
Or a Meteor spell.
Or little Phoenixes spawning on Immolate crits that throw cute little Fireballs that generate Emberbits (ok that might look like a Wild Imps ripoff).

I like the Pit lord idea, but not as a new pet (like Imp, Voidwalker...). It would be very nice to have several more guardians, that each still have a 10 min cooldown, and X min common cooldown. You would summon a Doomguard at the pull, then one minute later a Pit lord, then an Infernal, then a Nathrezim etc... That would be pretty cool

[serenka]

new demon would be cool, not sure what they need though.

[Grizelda]

A flying pet would be great.

Phoenix, bat, flying snakes, crows etc.

An AoE pet for each spec would be great.

At least another ranged pet.

We don't really have much if any synergy with our pets these days so roll out as many varieties as you like. It's fine if some share abilities.

[Deleted]

Added? I fear I will have even less dots and more pink beams.

[Ishimada]

Channelable fiery frontal cone Destruction spell might be epic, with a chance to proc without channel requirement.

New short-duration demon? 2nd class to claim flying form? Pentagram AoE / "Mark" Demonology spell?

[Shodan30]

mauve fire obviously.

[Ealyssa]

I'm NOT for a new demon at all. Unless they finally manage to balance the demons.
If we have a new demon either we all switch to it because best, or we all stay with the ugly observer. WTB demon choice in PVE plz.

But for a real new spell IDK, warlocks rebuild in MoP was amazing IMO. Maybe a new fire dot for destruction ? Something in the line of paladin's execution sentence could be nice : tick-tick-tick-BOOM. Could help spreading (and improving) the destro burst, and could had something in PVE (a proc when final tick proc ? Or a full ember at the end ?)

Harder to see something new for aff and demolocks. A new dot for aff would be bloating, and demolocks allready have enough dot/fillers/procs.

[Alarinth]

We DO have demon choice in PvE currently. The balancing is pretty damn good at the moment.

[Orloth]

I would like Glyph of Demon Hunting (or Apotheosis Spec) to be viable in PvE.

Either that, or I'll be rerolling Demon Hunter if they get added.

[Scoriio]

A bunch of new icons

[JV Chequer]

BLUE FIRE!!!!


Lol, JK, but a rework at Doomguard and Infernal would fit very well in the whole Burning Legion context.

[pokeadott]

Going to answer this as 'hope' instead of 'think' because I have minimal faith in blizz...

1) Legit tank spec

2) Less reliance on Dark Soul to get pvp kills (all specs). Being a wet noodle when DS is down then just perma CCed when it's up is pretty unfun.

3) Demon overhaul (whether it's spec specific pets, more active abilities for demo alla BM hunters, more skins, w/e), tired of having a mindless DoT that doesn't benefit from all of my stats/raid buffs (i.e. our current demons). There is no skill or fun tied to our pets atm (outside of Felgaurd glyph).

4) Aff - Uncouple Haunt or Soul Burn from shards to open Soul Burn for utility more than never. Could also use some spec specific self healing.

5) Destro - Give us an extra button/proc/something, find a way to make Chaosbolt as scary as Lavaburst/Pyroblast/DP in pvp, fix backdraft + haste scaling, and let us start a fight with full embers or give us a CD ember generator - we're a burst spec but we take a long ass time to be able to generate that burst relative to pretty much everyone else.

6) Demo - Not my cup of tea s a spec. Feels too spammy (during Meta) and too slow (during caster). Personal pref, but I'd like it smoothed out and given more pet interaction and less caster/meta weaving/gaurdians.

7) Find a way to make demonic circle more practical. A stationary teleport with a 40(30?) yd range with a 6 min stationary setup is just clunky to use anywhere outside of arenas. Make a glyph or redesign it to give us a mobility spell that doesn't have so many restrictions.

[Elise the Seeker]

new demon would be cool, not sure what they need though.

They should just let warlocks enslave demons just like hunters can tame pets.

[Ravoks]

They should just let warlocks enslave demons just like hunters can tame pets.

You can already do this but it's not permanent. Warlocks technically don't have pets, their classification is minion.

OT:

I want pink, blue, purple and yellow fire.
Only one DoT to manage for each spec
Led the expansion DPS meters by 10% with each spec.
1 shot people in arenas with Chaos Bolt & Chaos Wave


Ok, jokes aside.

A new guardian like ZumZum said
Warlock off-tank viability
Non-pigeonheld trinkets catered to being viable in a spec.
Ability to hover when Metamorphosis form. (Wouldnt it be pretty cool to pull an Illidan emotion with his wings)
More class quests like the green fire questline. I don't care about an award being given. I enjoyed the boss fight.

[Werst]

I expect more new buttons simply due to devs loving to add complexity for locks since they have a historic fixation with making us "Rube Goldberg dps machines". Realistically I expect DA to go away (90+% sure devs wish they never did that one), gosac to go away (or change so radically its not the same), and almost certainly a massive nerf to mobile dps/mobile casting.

[Deleted]

Assuming it will be Legion themed, I'd like to have some kind of a flying demon mount, which would be the lock equivalent to druids' flight form.

[Lucidious]

Lower cast times on chaos bolt and shadow bolt as they slow down game play to much. I would like to see felguard/wrathguard available to all specs with a new demon for demonology. Also demonology needs new animation's for touch of chaos and void ray as the current ones are hideous. No more portals/gateways unless they transport us to other parts of the world like mage ports. Other than those QOL things I think the new demon thing for the next X Pac whether its for all specs or just demo seems like the popular choice and I agree that it would be hella cool. Maybe 2 demons at once for goserv but have the "passive" demon as an auto attack bot while using the main demon like normal.
