Demo lock dog nerf

Im all for balance but I dont think nerfing instant cast dogs is the gameplay feel demo needs.

Both other lock specs have way more instant casts.

Are they nerfing instant cast dogs?

Its being removed

The honor talent, I’m assuming?

Yeh they are adding a talent that takes 20%(?) off tyrant and i think dogs instead

Reduces the cast time of your Call Dreadstalkers, Summon Vilefiend, and Summon Demonic Tyrant by 20% and reduces the cooldown of Call Dreadstalkers by 5 sec.

Reworked from simply making Dreadstalkers instant.

Instant cast dogs is pretty dumb and makes it harder to pressure a demo. With the kick and cc changes keeping it in would be over the top

I was gonna say with the kick changes and baseline precog this feels like a buff

Wtf is OP talking about

Its nice that tyrant will be a shorter cd than warrior fear so it cant just be instant feared every go in 10.1

just take dread calling or w/e in the demo tree

it does feel like, and it is. The 5 sec off dreadstalkers is top notch.

And we will still get free/instant dogs every now and then through a talent we will finally take through our normal talent tree.

I<m happy

Instant dogs should have gone away earlier. You already have demonic calling on the demo tree.

are u sure demo isnt littered with non casted damage

I cast the least on demo

yeah insta dogs is outdated from before it did dmg

You can literally just pop dogs while someone is pillaring you.

If Demo is gonna be this tanky, why do they not have to hardcast?

No you need los to cast dreadstalkers, maybe you’re thinking of vilefiend? Vilefiend sometimes bugs when cast behind los and will just chase the target but not attack.

I’d honestly prefer their screen clutter be nerfed, cut the amount of demons in half and tune accordingly.

P sure I had dogs cast on me while I was pillaring a Demo the other day. May be just ping difference and he clipped me iunno .-.

What cast :dracthyr_uwahh_animated:
