Until recently, the problem was precisely the lack of identity and fantasy. Lately, they’ve been doing absolutely nonsense, not only inconsistent with the very nature of the warlock, but also against logic in general
I’ll give a very trivial example: look at the apex talents in Demonology and Affliction. The Soulkeeper taking a soul after casting a Demon Bolt and empowering it to deal damage to the target is something that makes absolutely no logical sense: how can you take a soul that was previously “burned” to empower the Demon Bolt itself?
And in any case, the Soulkeeper taking souls is clearly something related to the Affliction theme. While you’re watching Affliction: the Nathrezim is absolutely Demonology-themed. But even just managing Hand of Guldan’s/Eye of Guldan’s is something that makes your eyes bleed
Even the very fact that they inserted the felguard as a talent in order to free the demonology from the use of the felguard alone makes no sense at all if they then dedicate 2 apex to the enhancement of the felguard’s abilities itself.
I wrote here some considerations on the inconsistencies of demonology if you like
In general, nonsense situations, illogicalities and loss of identity are increasing. I hope in new alpha release…
