This has been a cry from the Warlock communities for ages now and I want to reignite the conversation. We need to be able to fully customise our demons
Disclaimer: I know there are issues with the class that need to be addressed, but when this was brough in with DF and then dropped
Now, I am thinking the level customisation we are able to do with our dragon mounts and the delvers mount but for our demons. Allow us change to:
Each demon having a interrupt
Change skin tones
Armour
1-H and 2-H weapons
Models (I would love General Erodus from Antorus as my Tyrant or a Fel Elemental or the Coven of Shivarra models)
Scars
Horns
Wings
Tails
The possibilities are endless. This would make each Warlock unique and for it to feel personal.
Also, a side note, make it so that Grimoire: Felguard is a standard Felguard and not a copy of our main demon. That feels odd and looks boring.
I think it’s much better to have a talent node where you can choose whether to have spell lock or give it to the felhunter. This way you don’t devalue the magic nature of the felhunter by giving spell lock to all demons. So the warlock has the freedom to choose between having spell lock himself regardless of the demon (even if you use the felhunter, but in this case the felhunter won’t be able to kick while the warlock casts) or being able to silence thanks to the felhunter (which some prefer).
Obviously, for the grimoire of sacrifice, you would need to modify the skills you get by sacrificing the demon so as not to be too powerful (I’m thinking of the void walker’s sacrifice with the shadow bulwark + spell lock).
On the subject of demons, I am of this opinion: the old enslave demons must serve similarly to the hunter’s tame in order to capture the soul of the demon you prefer, mayvbe old sense of demon to find the demons inclined to be enslaved, and as for the customization of the same, a sort of transformation rostrum similar to the one known in DF for flying mounts would be very welcome, which can be activated in the warlock den by clicking on a portal that summons the demon you want to modify. Similarly to how the dragon mounts were modified in DF, by doing some achievements or killing certain mobs and quests you get grimoires that unlock customizations and colors
I like the choice node option. An original pick of mine but not sure whether we would get that. Although, Hunters did so there is hope.
To be able to customise your demons to how you want them to look will make each Warlock feel individual and unique. I would love to customise my demons to how I want them to look. The achievements and killing certain mobs and quests is a great part to help players engage in content.
I’d like a glyh where if you play diabolist and summon the overlord you can choose if its a overlord or a felreaver, and have it make that LOUD sounds when it summons.
For animations it could just do a stomp to cover the overlords cleave animation.
But my biggest wish when it comes to demon is give us the option of having metamorphosis, but via having our succubus turn into the old verison of meta.
It would be pretty cool and would just be cosmetics.
A quality of life improvement is to remove the 6 sec cast and fel dom talent. It’s just another example of warlocks not being updated like other classes.
