Demonic sacrifice

[Rend Blackhand]

Does anybody else think they should perhaps bring it back? I mean I just think having to manage your pet is a pain. I would play mage but I prefer the DoT warlock play style and I think getting a buff for getting rid of your demon for a while would be quite good for anybody that wants to.

If dragon soul design continues, i really hope they would bring it back. There was quite a few fights where pets don't help your raid kill what you should. Swtiching your pet off x will make a big DPS loss and even spine with the bugged pets back in the start, jesus. Atleast your imp can shoot fireballs, but please give our pets sprint like hunters :<

Aww sweet!!! I guess it would pay to actually look up the new expansion, eh?

I've just had a wee look and its only a 5 min buff for sacrificing your demon. I think it should be changed or at leats glyped and played about with a bit so its an indefinite buff so long as you don't have a demon

It's a 2 min cd...

As an oh **** button then I can understand it, but not as a regular or persistent buff.
We are a pet class, and we should not be persistently without one for the sake of a dps buff which can be better provided elsewhere.

IMO the feedback will be a flame war inside the Locks community.

I don't want this design fail on live. We already know that failarmor and demon armor are merged, then what is the point of having this kind of buff... next step no armor, so obvious

GoS can't be used with destro coz of destructive influence. Something must be changed.

Devs suck and GoS too.

So by your arguement we can get rid of soul link because it effectively becomes a passive buff for most of the time.
Switching armor was a tedious mechanic and limited in its benefit.
Making the benefits on-demand offers more options I think with a better ability to be used when needed rather than a mediocre one all the time.

Actually, I think they're trying to pull away from us being a pet "class" and focussing more on us being a sort of "shadow mage" with the OPTION of specialising into pets.
Akin to hunters with BM focussing on pet, however survival and MM still have a pet just for the sake of it.

I welcome the change personally, as I absolutely hate micromanaging the little bastards, especially when they ignores the majority of my commands and do as they please >_>
I can't wait though, Affliction will basically become everything i've wanted it to be, a DoT class, with high survivability without a pet(inb4 "LOL GO ROLL SHADOWPRIEST!1") I already have, it's not as fun.

So by your arguement we can't get rid of Soul link with MoP ?

Fail armor wants a word with you..... Merged then removed is the only way.....


@Adt IMO the micromanagement is all about DEV suck.... http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2878488399

Well, yeah but it would be a pain in the backside because when the buff wears off you have to summon your demon again and then sacrifice it again. I mean you'd have to do it in the middle of a fight because some last more than 5 mins!

I'd like to have one spec be a non pet class, I mean why do warlocks have to be a pet class all the time.
I think our class stands out individually enough not to be mages or spriests without pets..

It'd be really nice if this worked best with affliction

I agree. I've always had a soft spot for affliction because it always gave me a feeling of being a dark sorcerer as opposed to a chaotic, evil one like Demo or a crazy fire wizard with Destro.

Looks like Shadow priest homogenization at his best....
