It’s a good change. It’s also a lazy change. They should have given Demonology a separate interrupt that isn’t tied to their stun. It’s not like Demonology warlocks are absolutely overloaded with utility or anything, particularly since they’re pretty much chained to using a Felguard.
The spell literally already exists in PvP with “Call Felhunter”. I’m completely at a loss why they don’t just give it to Demonology as a PvE skill.
It’s less than a second unless your pet is very far from the thing you’re trying to interrupt. And your pet defaults to meleeing its target so that would only happen in weird pathing situations, if the mob blinks a long distance and then immediately starts casting, or if a new add spawns far from the existing fight and immediately starts casting.
Those scenarios aren’t impossible though, so Blizzard should definitely look at any feedback they get about failed attempts to interrupt, but this is a very positive change overall (and also much requested, for anyone who thinks Blizzard doesn’t listen to feedback).
I’ve also watched the cooldown of Axe Toss go down by 5 seconds before they get stunned. Axe Toss is incredibly buggy because a lot of the time, he doesn’t throw it and it is incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes he does it while felstorming, sometimes he waits. Who knows?
It IS an upgrade, but it isn’t much of one especially if it is a cast that is fairly short (I’ve missed Watery Dome “kicks” in TD throwing the axe at the start of the cast).
How am I the child? You havent given a single reason WHY the change should be the way it is but I’ve at least explained why it shouldn’t
Shadowlands alpha has been consistently focused on feedback, probably more so than any other time. So tell me why feedback on an alpha ability that just came out is bad?
Balance druid also has a more useful interrupt than any other class since it is an AoE silence where tons of mobs in PvE are never going to move out of it (or can’t because they are stationary).
Although I AM happy with this… it would have been easier to just have made Call Felhunter baseline for all warlocks. Just move it from the pvp talent row into our spellbooks. Bam. Easy
