Warlocks: Blizzard, do you really hate us?

[Andryu-tarren-mill]

I know people will have different opinions and will not agree with me, but seriously Blizzard do you hate us?

People have been crying out for a class tree change and even more cries for mobility, but yet we get nothing but nerfs to tier sets.

Come on. No quality of life changes. It’s like you are intentionally ignoring us and saying ‘Nah. You’re good. Deal with it.’

There have been many posts in the NA and EU about this. For example:

Feedback: Warlocks - Class identity

We really hope there is a lot more change coming for Warlocks. Reign of Fire is a step in the right direction. A whole thread with great ideas from many warlocks are here: Our class tree needs a rework. Our demons need to be impactful. Bring back Call Felhunter talent, reduce the cooldown to match Spell Lock, and make it baseline. Instantly solve our baseline interrupt problem without causing double interrupt issue. https://www.wowhead.com/spell=212619/call-felhunter you’ve already got th…

11.1 Class Patchnotes

So what do you think about the 11.1 patch notes? No real Affliction changes is such a disappointed

Warlock Spell Visuals

A simple post just wishing that they update the spell visuals going into new the patch and beyond. I love all specs but some of the graphic are low res and feel odd. Aff is a big one when you cast Malefic Rapture. Dimensional Rifts: I am a DR fan. I will admit that it most definitely needs tuning and the cast to target needs to be quicker, I think we can all agree on that. The visuals are just out of date and don’t fit the other portal themes. We have many new portals that are being used. Why…

# 01/2025 / Feedback: Affliction

Hello, I’m Warlock Affliction who focus mostly on M+ gameplay and I would like to share my opinions after a few months of new expansion. In my feedback I do consider only the PvE part of the game as I have no experience with PvP. Personally, the Affliction strengths should be: mobile souls master who bases mostly on instant and quick cast spells, including those on which he is spending his soul shards, calmful strategist of the battlefield, who spend most of the time of looking out of opportu…

[Feedback] Affliction Warlock design change and added mobility

Hey, warm greetings to the reader. This post and the suggestions therein might be absolutely out of scope to implement in a x.1/2/3 patch, however for a new expansion with a bigger class and combat revamp and more development time it might be worth it to offer this feedback/suggestion. **Mobility: Instant cast blink with a twist to differentiate between Mage's Blink** Think a very good addition would be to have a somewhat longer range instant cast teleport with a longer cooldown. To diffe…

The miserable life of the warlock class (very long post)

In order to maintain interest in the game and provide depths, blizzard makes an ability that does something cool and then later in the game’s history, introduce more talents that make it necessary for you to do extra stuff in order to have the same feeling, and if you play classic you’ll notice this, there’s a lot of extra buttons and stuff that we do nowadays that our classes didn’t have to do back in the day, new abilities feel good initially but really they’re extra effort and skill you need …

State of Warlocks?

Warlocks need help. Compared to other classes, we bring nothing of value, yes Health stones and Gate are nice but its not enough in todays game. We need an update. Playing multiple classes, one quickly realizes that warlocks feel out-dated in todays version of wow. We do not have any group/raid wide buff such as skyfury/motw/arcane int. etc. We have the least utility in terms of CC/Kicks/decurse/knockbacks etc while also having low mobility and low dmg while on the move, compared to other cla…

Spell lock should be baseline

Spell lock should be baseline for the class and not a pet ability, and blizzard actually did this in dragonflight or war within beta, where warlocks could do something normally without a gimmick like everyone else, imagine that. we’re giving up a lot by being forced to choose felhunter in every situation, a charm, a taunt, and a dispel. In mythic plus, it’s mandatory to play your felhunter because having an interrupt is not an option in 2024. In PvP, it’s basically the same thing except for m…

Some posts to name a few.

Just needed to vent.
