Ion: "Dont expect utility back"

Their design philosophy is "if you lack something, just hide behind a person that has that utility you need, we ll only double down on strengths" (But we keep repeatedly nerfing chaos bolt and its traits and havoc so it is a chaos noodle so you have no strengths)

Sorry but i dont enjoy a class only being viable when hiding behind a group of people freecasting, it is boring and unfun, and it becomes even worse when a melee jumps on you and makes you useless.
He lacks brain, so he hides behind Blizzard logo
Lol you guys still at it lmao just reroll or unsub already

I don't want to reroll, I want to be able to play a class I enjoy. I enjoy playing the class still, but the lack of utility really hurts my gameplay. Warlocks are the only class without a boost, unless we go with Burning Rush, in which case we take 4% of our health every second that it's on. NO other class in the game has this, they all have some sort of movement speed.

Yes, we have portals and the teleport spell (If we talent into it), but those require us to set up first, then 1 has a 30 second CD, whilst the other has a 2min Debuff.

Obviously being able to jump up 4 rows on damage meter for 10 seconds once every 3 minutes.

warlocks should stay in the back and cast spells warlock=/=warrior

Ion is awesome
I am thinking of rerolling a Druid. Starsurge is the new Chaos Bolt. Have you guys watched the AWC finals? Samiyam's Druid is like Destro without the disgusting nerf on Chaos Bolt.

Also, whenever i watch a game i see all the cooldowns avaible to their respective classes. Then I go back and check the old games in the tournament, see a Warlock and there is only 2 cooldowns :D Infernal/Darkglare and Unending Resolve. That's all...

I don't think any class other than Warlock is THIS brutally pruned.
Ok, then remove all healing effects from non-magical classes and hide behind a healer...Seriously, hunters, rogues, warriors - and even mages - heals are just the silliest thing every since BC.

Don't expect "utility"? Lol, my dear Ion, I would expect nothing from you!
How would melee players feel if you can't stand on a target for less than a global? That aint fair.
*Note sarcasm*

I have no hope for Blizzard anymore which is why I unsubbed today and won't resub untill anything major happens to the game.

The Warlock class which has been my favorite class since Wotlk has taken the worst hit of all the classes in my opinion by the pruning of abilites that happened in wod and has yet to recover.

We have no mobility, we have no slow, we have low damage, we have bad survivability. Talking from PvP point of view.

Shadow Priests even feel more like warlock that this piece of !@#$ class does.
Did anyone notice the entire blizzcon that any time casters or cloth wearers were mentioned they conveniently left out the word "warlock"?

Ion himself mentioned about transmogs in the Q+A that it's not fair palladins can wear all armor types and "cloth wearers such as mages and priests can't".

Way to leave out warlocks there buddy.

Then when they mentioned underperforming classes of which we are numero uno, he mentioned ferals, hunters, shamans and DK's but not warlocks despite us being declined and rejected from most PvE unless we're Affliction and PvP altogether.

It’s common knowledge that Ion and (parts) of the dev team hates warlocks. Bad blood still running after the firing of Xelnath

Then give warlocks 4 blinks, slow on every spell, spammable absorb shield, ice block like immunity, heal, one shot burst, counter spell, stuns and we're even.
No idea why they decided to make cloth wearing caster that has no tanking spec into pvp "tank" with no mobility. I mean it was slightly tankier than mage before cataclysm with drain life and soul link… And after cataclysm every time warlocks had enough self heal to tank something they nerfed self healing. Only other defensive cd is on 3 min cooldown.
