Big set of Warlock Changes

As a side effect, they may have to buff Blueberry to hold agro more because of the higher DPS.[right][snapback]89930[/snapback][/right]

This part, they already have, but it'll be interesting to see how well pets hold aggro.

I only hope that the Infernal and Doomguard finally become non-enslaves as that is the biggest reason I don't use them.

Given there's an one hour cooldown, I agree. The the balance I'd enjoy is keeping enslavement and either removal of 1 hr cooldown or vast reduction of cooldown to say 2-5 minutes. This way, the warlock keeps the danger level of using doomguard/infernal.

I'd prefer Ritual of Doom to auto-enslave if the warlock survives.


They finally admit Deathcoil's 10 minute cooldown was abysmal, and Pyroclasm not functioning. (I'm told actual rate is ~1-2%, while some people never see it proc given this chance).

Deathcoil's new two minute cd is once or twice a battle instead of once almost never. Warriors and Rogues beware! Mana inefficiency never justifies pvp balance (especially since its more likely we die with over half mana unused in a ganking). The fear effect balances PvE aspect, as fear is fairly dangerous to use when it can aggro everything else. Good, much needed move, that took almost a year to make.

The dot issue is because priests get one dot with better dps than all ours combined. Warlocks were behind the dps power curve in both instant (having few to no instants) and dot (needing more dots & cast time for less dps) damage options. Heck, life drain can still be dispelled.
