    Horde BFA Cosmetic Warlock Pet Glyph Ideas

    With all the new troll models I've been thinking it'd be cool to have some warlock glyphs that let you switch out with troll and wicker inspired models.


    Trolls I'm thinking these could come from Vol'dun and Nazmir outcasts, keeps with warlock magic being shady:

    1. Replace Imp: Troll Mask https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/697399.jpg

    2. Replace Voidwalker: Sand Elemental https://media.mmo-champion.com/image...del_06_1_1.jpg

    3. Replace Felhunter: Troll Specter https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/696063.jpg

    4. Replace Felguard: Troll Skeleton https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/697232.jpg

    5. Replace Doomguard: Troll Lich: https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/696193.jpg

    6. Replace Infernal: Undead Dire Troll: https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/697197.jpg




    Drust Monsters and Wicker constructs would make up the Alliance counterparts

    1. Replace Imp: Skeletal Bird https://www.wowhead.com/npc=93064/bl...delviewer:10+0

    2. Replace Voidwalker: The Grotesque Beast-Men https://wow.gamepedia.com/Beastman

    3. Replace Felhunter: Wicker Beast https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/697515.jpg

    4. Replace Felguard: Wicker Man https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/696194.jpg

    5. Replace Doomguard: Wicker Giant https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/696067.jpg

    6. Replace Infernal: Wicker Hulk https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/696027.jpg

    Warlock demons should stay as demons. Why would a Warlock use any of those as minions?

    To provide a bit of cosmetic flavor and variety.

    Still against it. Rather keep the class fantasy.

    I believe warlocks should keep summoning demons only, but we could see inquisitors, core hounds and others added to the roster. I could see DKs summoning troll zombies and druids replacing treants with drust units, though.

    warlocks have had more reworks/attention than any class I can think of. I'd rather see some cool stuff for other classes that have been ignored a long time personally

    I think the sand elemental would work for shaman, and many of the rest would work for dk ghouls or abominations. The skeletal eagles are already hunter pets (added around the same time as forsaken hunters, iirc). But I'm pretty sure I've seen imps with voodoo masks. And a drustvar-colored voidwalker would work, they're not quite the same as other demons already. But it's good to brainstorm different ways to customize with glyphs, there's so few new glyphs, I like seeing ideas that don't particularly appeal to me so much more than the idea that we should be content with no new glyphs.

    Warlocks are a demon specific class though. They wouldn’t summon undead to do their bidding like a DK or a Necromancer. The undead trolls would never be a plausible thing.

    If you were to suggest different demons now the legion is defeated I would understand. Say perhaps instead of the ones we had now we had the following all purely cosmetic the damage and the abilities are the same just renamed and visually different:

    infernal - Pit Lord
    Doom Guard - Soulkeeper/Jailer
    Fel Guard - Uber Fel Lord (Zakuun model etc)
    Succubus - female Eredar/Man-ari
    Felhunter - Fel Hound (boss model in Ant Raid)
    Imp - Wyrmtongue

    perhaps, this would make more sense. But undead are definitely not the way to go for demon customisation

    I would rather have glyphs that changed Gateway colors, so I could tell which one goes to where.

    I concur with the second poster that they should stay as demons of some variety or another. Though I do generally agree with you that I want some creative and flavorful glyphs. We saw how nuts warlocks went over green fire with that questline, how about some white spells for your night elf priest, for example.

    Class fantasy is too homogenizing, a troll warlock shouldn't be the same as an orc or human warlock.

    Why wouldn't they be the same? The entire point of being a Warlock is you summon demons. You call it homogenizing, I call it lore.

    The cosmetic flavor would only work if they were:

    1. Still demons

    2. Demons that fit the theme of the race



    and neither of these work.

    Blizz made it very apparent with the short bit in Mists that being a warlock nowadays is more about using Forbidden magic. Everyone claiming warlocks can 'only' use demons are missing the point of the class. Warlocks are about power at any price, whether it's demons, or anything else.

    Ritssyn Flamescow and Zinnin Smythe were sent to Sulfuron Keep to gather the powers left behind by the Firelord.
    Shinfel Blightsworn and Zelifrax Wobblepox hunted down the remaining members of the Twilight's Hammer and Cho'gall's followers to persuade them to reveal anything they learned.
    Jubeka Shadowbreaker and Kanrethad Ebonlocke returned to Outland.[3] While Jubeka learned a lot about different races of demons, Kanrethad sought to put into practice what he had learned about Illidan Stormrage's demonic transformation, and succeeded in becoming a demon himself. This however culminated in a battle at the summit of the Black Temple between a warlock hero and Kanrethad, ending in the latter's permanent banishment by Jubeka.

    After Deathwing was defeated, six of the greatest Warlocks gathered together to teach all Warlocks advanced forms of magic stolen from our defeated foes.
