This is just a way to see how many on the warlock side wants metamorphosis back, as i personally am someone who wants it to return.
I also would like to see some idea as How it could return to warlock.
My ideas are
- Make demonic tyrant a choice node to either have tyrant or metamorphosis, works exackly like normal tyrant except the power buff goes to the player
- Just Malevolence have the visual of metamorphosis
- Make Summon infernal a choice node, let it be exackly like normal infernal except you get immolation aura and it gives damage/haste buff (This could make infernal a AOE talent while meta is a ST talent)
- Give us back dark soul and have that use the metamorphosis model, put this in warlocks base tree so every spec can have it.
Now i wouldnt be suprised if people are tired of hearing people asking the return of metamorphosis, but i feel like we should discuss these thing even when the devs have said “NO”.
This is a Fantasy game and i want more of the fantasy in warlock spec to be given back, as we have slowly been stripped of iconic abilities that made warlock unique.

unfortunately they decided years ago to give the ability of metamorphosis to demon hunters. According to a very specific logic: if someone is a warlock who uses dark energies and infuses his soul with demonic power he cannot become a demon (Kanrethad Ebonlocke aside, maybe one day we’ll find out he’s a demon hunter in disguise).
Meanwhile it is correct that a demon hunter can become a demon to kill demon, practically if he looks in the mirror he commits suicide.
For me it would be enough if the tyrant was eliminated (it has a really bad dynamic and an additional cast time in a spec already plagued by continuous cast time) and that the darksoul: knowledge returned (instant, increased damage to demons and caster) with the HD graphics of the old dark apotheosis (horns, demonic wings and claws and dark purple color)

What about Kil’jaeden? xd
Or even the Murlocs in Legion on the Broken Shore?
The most concerning issue for me is, the new stuff / changes we have been getting every expansion, are almost nothing compared to what other classses got, leave alone getting cool stuff like meta.
Demonology: We all got excited with those new big shiny dogs yet they are just bigger vilefiends. On top of that it made our rotation even more clunky by adding an extra cast and in return we lost Nether Portal.
First version of Imp Gang Boss talent was the only new thing I liked and It got removed. So, demo still plays the same for years now without any QOL changes.
Affliction: Malefic Rupture stayed for this expansion as well for some reason. We got a new talent called Oblivion - 2nd season and it still stays dead.
Shadow priests got an Shadow Crash update once they started whining about it. Vile Taint is much worse and still no changes.
Destruction: Got the few QOL changes that other specs didn’t and thus became the better Dot spec now. Oh and also most mobile one now because of that weird shadowburn spam.
Rifts with lots of new talent nodes added yet they are not playable either.
Class Tree: Got couple of new stuff but can not pick most of them because all the talent points are locked. If I want to pick burning rush talent or faster healstone/soulstone one or improved curse then I need to either sacrifice from my hp or damage. There is no flexibility.

Unlike we will ever get meta back, but…how did we go from legion demo to bfa…its been going downhill ever since.
There should be a choice node to pick tyrant or thal’kiel consumption.

Should we get it back?
Yes.
Will we get it back?
I think Blizzard is too obtuse to understand why people liked Meta and want it back. They have a vision of their own for classess (and specs) and will stick to it even though it is disliked by majority of the players.
All the other reasons such as “Oh its DH with the Meta now” are meaningless as you can just call it something else. Demo’s Meta and DH’s Meta and not related in looks, play style and lore. So, its just execuses.
I switched to DH and am not going to look back. Will probably drop retail when MoP arrives to enjoy Demo’s glorious days.

Yeah, I don’t think a single DH player would care If warlock had meta.
Always saw Metamorphosis as possible 4th specialization for warlock as a tank spec similar to bear.

I feel like i am the only one who never cared about meta at all mostly because i just never liked demonology and secondly to me meta form was always ugly as hell and as my warlock is dwarf the meta form was extremely out of place and looked weird when my dwarf turned into shadow temu illidan.
I would personally rather take the tanking wings back as those i actually found fun to have and to play with.

I’d like to see it make a return. It’s a cool, distinct ability and it was a shame to lose it for the sake of Demon Hunters when there’s ample room for both classes to have a variant of it.
