Remove demo lock pets and totems from the game

its a toxic mechanic

only 1 totem or pet per class/spec

also make them have 5 hp, it shouldnt be more than a cosmetic anyways

at least you can setup Plater nameplates to not show all that stuff up, and not make your screen an absolute mess. I’d rather they fixed the nameplate vanishing on feign death hunters.

Definitely rework Demo. More focus on the warlock and felguard and no stupid imps. It’s bad design for PvP and it is also the lamest fantasy. Demo fantasy is obviously to summon one big strong bad boy Felguard while you do some pumping of your own

Demo fantasy is to empower ANY demon that we have, but blizz has decided that we wanna be a poor man puppeteer class, that couldn’t control any non main/prime demon since alpha of the legion to the 9.1 - 1764 days or 4 years, 9 months, 30 days.

In that case, healers must have only one heal per target and only one shield at any active time.

The only “toxic” mechanic of warlock is a hardcast design.

Is an option in Default UI.

100+ pets running around is certainly toxic. This sht needs to go asap

also demo has an obnoxious amount of cc: 4 kicks, 3 stuns, 2 fears 1 coil, did i forget something? the whole spec needs to be pruned from the game tbh

Demo warlocks have been beating the drum to get metamorphosis back ever since the legion rework. I wonder how long Blizzard can take current situation before they do another “We’d rather you didn’t play demonology” and rework the spec again:P

I mean, if you want to play a scuffed demo sure, go ahead, but the stun is better than the other demons’ abilities. The point is that the whole zoo-master is garbage design and not appealing. Wild Imps must go, doggos must go, Vilefiend or w/e it is called must go, Tyrant should go too

Iff they bring it back i would play demo again,
because it looked so epic with the green fire.
And was a lot more fun than throwing 1000 pets.

Yeah the warlock metamorphosis looked badass, both in purple and green. Unlike the current demon hunters that cosplay as vaccine man…

In that case, any druid form that is not belong to your current spec must go as well. Like no travel or bear form for feral, no cat or bear form for boomy.

I didn’t had issues with playing other demons before legion, and I wanna see this being brought back.

To OP and anyone else new to the game: go to settings and turn off nameplates for minions. Your welcome.

Yeah I’m not saying not to, just that I don’t want to use anything other than Felguard, I hate the other demons, they’re weak and pathetic - but it would be cool fantasy wise to be able to choose to empower them as well

that doesnt do anything, thanks for absolutely nothing

We need MoP design of the demons where all was good.
Imp/Sayaads or Fel imp/Shivarra was supperior in ST and utility/CC.
Where Felguard or Wrathguard had a decent ST damage and cleave capabilities.

They should just make an addon or class design 1by1 from mop and the game is totally fixed or legion

Won’t happen. We have different game directors with a different mentality. In mop with some degree of homogenization we had more diverse class/spec design than now with “reworked” talents.

Just by example of Demo in MoP - Xelnath designed a demo keeping in mind the shortcomings of WoW engine - client and server side issues. And the pet AI and tools to control Pet AI was not in the shape to make a proper puppeteer class, because of that he avoided to use tons of demons on the constant base - we had one wild imp every 20 sec for a short amount of time (5-6 casts of fel fire bolt), demons from grimoire of service (all demons, not just felguard) and Infernal or Doomguard on the 8 min CD. And the main toolkit was based around ANY main/prime demon and you.
His version of demo had a gameplay complexity build upon simple game mechanics.

Leave demo pets alone I enjoy my 70k dps

Ngl the whole army playstyle could work if they had to manually summon and control the pet rotation/casts kind of like a conductor in an orchestra. That would be baller design. Aka have the pets be basically AFK till you press their button/imps cast, they all cast that one spell.

Increase the APM of the spec to a ridiculous degree.

Rn its just antifun gameplay cause he poops out half the legion that autochases you down, and now it seems that they are harder to bug out making it even more frustrating to face.

Or just make their pets permaslowed/or have full NPC duration of CC last on them (with the exception of mainpet and tyrant).
