Be sure to report bugs with warlocks, otherwise nothing will get fixed. These are the big ones i have seen and filed bug reports for in game, and I’d suggest you all do the same at your convenience.
- Shadow bolt / Demonbolt are inconsistent with shard generation, as casting just before, or just after an add or boss is pulled into combat in and outside of instances can cause shadowbolt to not generate a shard, and demonbolt to only generate a single shard.
This has been an ongoing issue for a very long time.
- Demonic tyrant when running Wilfreds legendary which reduces its cooldown, has a problem where when immediately trying to tyrant as it comes of CD can frequently cause a GCD to trigger, but not start the cast.
This is game breaking for demonology as when using our tyrant, we will often summon it at near perfect timing just before our demons despawn, therefore this bug will cause us to miss the window, thus render our entire burst window, which consists of one of, if not the longest ramp up time in the game, to be completely worthless.
- Dreadstalkers dreadbite still has a problem where it will flat out not cast its ability dreadbite (or maybe it just misses?) when summoned against a moving target.
This is once again game breaking as the talent for this is used in conjunction with the legendary, and from the shadows.
Meaning, your legendary slot loses massive value as its damage doesn’t actually get to the targets, and from the shadows, which is an extremely important debuff doesn’t get applied, causing a flat 20% damage loss to implosion.
- Pets: Pet AI is still absolutely broken on Denathrius, they still also get stuck on pillars in Shriek / sludgefists room, which disables them.
Again, this is gamebreaking as a large portion of our toolkit and damage is tied to our pets ability to actually function.
- More warlock in general, but the doomguard from ritual of doom often times will break, and appear as an enemy, red name plate in all, but remain attached to the warlock, sometimes does, and doesn’t attack, cannot be released, and requires a loading screen to remove it.
It’s a very strange bug, seen it atleast 1 out of 5 times our destro lock in the group used it.
Additional reports added via commenters:
- Felguard can sometimes trigger the cooldown of command demon without actually using its ability.
This is a huge issue, as it can cause our stun and interrupt to not go off, and can be the difference between a group wipe or success in a number of scenarios, also would be heavily impactful in pvp.
- Demonic tyrant does not extend pets beyond X range, looking like 40 -45 yards.
This causes your burst window to be non existent, this becomes a large problem on fights like Hungering destroyer, and denathrius, where pets often can be a large distance away, and thus waste an entire tyrant cycle, which is the vast majority of our damage, making this extremely detrimental to our damage output.
