Please don't whine about warlocks using "Ancient" stuff, when there are classes that STILL USE VANILLA MECHANICS around, like Rogue and it's three specs that play the exact same. Warlocks do NOT need more updates. The mere fact that you would bring up priests as somehow being better off than you is proof of your ignorance. Do you realize how completely limited priest spell effects are? Besides the level 90 talents, the most exciting spell priests have is mind sear. Their main nuke is still just a purple flame appearing above someone's head. Their main filler is still just a simple purple tinted multicolor beam.
Warlocks have flat out received more mechanic updates AND more art updates that every other class.
Your shadowbolt, not even one of your exciting spells, is one of the most detailed caster projectiles in the game.
Your chaos bolt and soulfire are higher resolution and better effects than a FIRE MAGES FIRE SPELLS.
Your gateway probably has the single most detailed animations of any spell effect in the entire game.
Your entire set of demonology spell effects TURN INTO DIFFERENT SPELL EFFECTS in demon form, giving you even more art assests.
Where other classes have defensive cooldowns that dont show up at all, turn the player a color, or make a simple shield, your defensive cooldowns make fanciful demonic symbols and a large 3d demonic skull appear on you.
You have a large number of art-focused minor glyphs (Nightmares, tri-shadow bolt, felguard weapons, falling meteor, soul well, verdant spheres)
Warlocks have absolutely no place to whine about needing new demon models.
