Warlocks Getting Buffed

[Raelynn]

Since I'm getting ready to head to bed after finishing my 2nd to last thing to do till I graudate, I figured it's a good time to scoop MongoJerry again :)

Eyonix has posted upcoming Warlock Changes, the current listed changes being for the Demonology tree.
That and the Infernal is guaranteed to not turn for at least 5 minutes.  So how do warlocks feel about these changes?  I don't know enough about the class to say how this would modify things.

Oh, and as Eyonix said later, this isn't the only warlock changes.  It's just what they got done first and finalized for the next patch already.

The changes look to be moving in the right direction. I would've liked them to touch on some of the other big problems a bit sooner, such as the escape spell and the soul shard issues. I haven't used the enslave demon much, but in terms of it being useful, if the subsequent enslaves have little to no duration and frequently resist (costing a shard still), then the 5 minutes guaranteed is just fluff. 5 minutes is no length for a pet. We need to be able to somewhat reliably hold him for longer than that given the shard cost to maintain the spell.

I've actually liked some of the ides about pets, such as keeping the pet guaranteed, but requiring a soul shard to be "fed" to the pet every 5 or so minutes, or in decreasing durations. One guy even suggested permanent durations for an non-elite enslave because they have been shown to be not significantly more powerful than hunter pets.

On that note, the demons themselves need a slight buff while enslaved to make the reward a bit closer to the risk. They also didn't make note of the bug that comes with these summons, being the "going blue and despawning" bug.
