I guess part of this is a slight QQ post but also a wishlist. Before I go on my main is a 577 Ret Pally and my primary alt being my Warlock is a 527 Demo lock. I read up on demonology a lot and have followed it for quite some time. Part of me just always had this wishful view of playing as the demon when I play this spec kinda like how I had this "crusader" type deal with the Pally, ironically Diablo 3 gave me that feel and I thank them for that. Anyways to the point, I would like to see something around the lines of how a passive Metamorph could occur if at all.
Right now we have two sets of rotation, the Fury generator rotation and the fury dump. What makes me sad is I feel like what I should be doing gameplay wise just isnt happening and the only time I feel "one with the demon" is when i do DA mode during bits of solo play.
In vanilla for me it was: Power yourself and your demons and use both Shadow and Fire.
BC: Gain a superior demon and the same as above.
Wrath: Now you can turn into a demon while fighting with superior demons
Cata: Same as above
MoP: Gain superior demons but more options when you turn into one.
Slowly it just appears we are going down that "illidan" path where we are becoming the demon within.
What I would want to see as stated is a way to actually have Metamorph be a passive type deal that we can go into and out freely.
Right now our generators: Corruption, Imps, Minion, Shadowbolt, Soulfire, Drain Life, Fel Flame, Hand of Gul'dan
Our Consumers: Doom, Touch of Chaos, Soulfire, Chaos Wave, Immolation Aura etc etc
So what if it were to appear like this
-Doom and Corruption merged together OR Corruption and Doom were both usable in demon mode.
-Shadow Bolt and Touch of Chaos separate as in both could be cast while in the form OR perhaps the Touch generated Fury and a possible it could actually apply corruption.
-Soulfire and Chaos Wave could act as primary dumps and there could be a way to make Hand of Gul'dan separate from Chaos Wave
-Immolation Aura would overtake Hellfire and could either remain an AoE dump OR generate fury.
-The Aura's such as elements etc could both be toggled as passives.
Theoretically speaking this is what you could see.
-Touch of Chaos, Hand of Gul'dan to generate, potentially Shadow Bolt/Drain Life as well.
-Chaos Waves and Soul Fire to dump
In addition you have your demon doing DPS but as we see there will be a way to get passive Abyssal/Infernal and Terrorguard/Doom Guard. If this is the case then sacrificing them should also impact your rotation as well. Like perhaps the Abyssal could give you a new AoE option or the Doom Guard could give you a new Fury dump.
If you don't use them you also then have cataclysm in the mix or Demon Bolt as well.
In terms of balance with mastery and high numbers they would have to be tuned lower since Metamorph is supposed to be a burst button at this moment.
To finish, I am not a pro lock by any means, I play demonology because it is fun but I just wish I could be forever in demonform when I play. I feel that would be amazing and fun for me. I know I am not the only one that thinks this but I was wondering your thoughts on the matter and in turn how a post on the blizzard forums would go and if this is a good idea how could people get them to listen?
