Seriously, this isnt needed nor enjoyed. The cast time should be inline with other classes that have pets.

Yeah it is stupid. Just a way for them to fill the talent tree with garbage (insta pet summon) and pass it off as a cool talent tree node.
They also did it to revive pet, made it 4 seconds. Then they changed it to 3 seconds, now it’s at 2.5 seconds.
But warlocks remained screwed.

The cast time is reduced by your haste stat, and you have Fel Domination. If your pet is dying alot use health funnel. Especially Soulburn:health funnel. Its not hard.

Warlocks arent screwed, you arent good at adapting to change.

Soulburn buffs health funnel? Since when?
Guess i never use health funnel thats why i didnt notice lol
When ego gets in the way of common sense.
Firstly, 5 seconds is the cast time after it’s been reduced by a decent amount of haste.
But it has absolutely nothing to do with adapting to change. My issue is the change is dumb to begin with.
It was a 2.5 second cast.
Then they make it a 6 second cast.
Then they give us a talent to make it instant cast.
How about they just revert the change back to 2.5 seconds and then instead of a talent that gives us something we basically used to have, give us something new? Something exciting?

Yuh it really needs to be changed like Warlock Utility is tied to their demons and it was a quick summon just need soul shards making swapping Demons as necessary plausible where now it’s just a waste of time and Warlocks don’t swap demons much if at all.
One of the multiple decisions that drove me away from Warlock to healer.
No thats not a problem at all. Its just a stupid mechanic that isnt needed.
Its always annoying at the start of a key that I have to wait like 4.5seconds to summon something that shouldnt have been dismissed, but blizz does this to all pets at the start of each key. Its annoying on my hunter, but far less so since its an instant cast to summon them.
That said, keeping pet alive as long as the tank is alive is 99% of the time a non issue. However if for some god forsaken reason your FG gets stuck, locked behind a barrier, etc… AND your talent that makes it an instant summon is on CD. Then STANDING STILL IN ONE PLACE FOR 5 SECONDS WHILE MECHANICS ARE HAPPENING IS A NIGHTMARE. Sometimes impossible. At least on my hunter I can just turtle and rez my pets. Thats beside the point I already made before that this isnt even needed in the game. For something to have a 5 sec cast, there needs to be a huge reason to justify that cast time. THERE ISNT…

Fantasy… The reason for the long cast time.

Plan ahead and have the right one summoned or don’t let it die. It’s really that simple.
Since the new talent trees were implemented. Soulburn healthfunnel debuffs the pet to take less damage and it heals for alot more than normal.

They raised the cast time because we never had fel domination when the cast time was 3 seconds. Be thankful the cast time wasnt reverted to the old 10 second casts in Vanilla.
You have fel domination… and soulburn healthfunnel. Learn2play your class and adapt to the changes. This mmo changes alot.
That doesn’t even make any sense. They never raised the cast time, they lowered it in Legion and it was perfectly fine.
They then increased it back up to 6 seconds in SL and gave us Fel Domination at the same time. Which is my point. Why not just leave it at 2.5 seconds and not give us Fel Domination? FD only exists because of their unnecessary (and bad) changes.
They came up with the solution before the problem.
It is almost as if we moved away from unnecessarily long cast times for a reason. It is bad design.

They raised the cast time of summoning when Fel domination was added. You may think its stupid and thats okay. I dont really care because they added new spells to manage pets.
This was driving me nuts last night. I took the point out of “fast cast demon” and put it into banish for the affix. When battle rezzed in a fight, 5sec to summon a pet for Soul Link? Why does the fast cast demon talent ( can’t remember the name lol) even cost me a talent point? Make it baseline.
So, you’ve never been ganked by a wandering mob during a fight, eh?
So you never have to RE-summon your pets before a key starts???
So you also never have had your pet just disappear???
Its not about the pet dieing, all you keep bringing this up. Learn to read. I said keeping the pet alive IS NOT an issue and never has been. The problem is that it is stupid to have to have a talent that lowers the CD to 0sec to summon a pet when no other class has too. Thats a talent point that could be used for something MORE important. Fel Domination is a perfect example of a complete and utter waste of a talent point that you must take incase the game does something stupid. There is ZERO reason for this to even exist. Replace it with something useful and put pet summons down to 2.5sec and call it a day.

In those rare instances, that is what fel domination is for. If you want fast pet summons, play a hunter rather than a class that relies on beings summoned from another plane of existence.
