Wonder how jungle/cupid/rmx are going to deal with warlock comps with locks running imp to dispell cc off their healer since they will no longer need to run felhunter to cs casts. Are imps easy to kill? My guess is they have the smallest health of all lock summons but then I also recall them having a stam buff of their own.
If it still had phase shift and you could dispel without breaking that then it might be worth having but typically you’d only use it in 2s against double dps comps with a lot of cc like rogue mage (where its a dps race for them). That being said, if the mage decided to attack the imp he could sneeze on it and it’d fall over.
I remember it being used mainly with fel dom to get a quick dispel and maybe save a game.
Good jungles and Cupid’s won’t play any differently
Mage will just have to precast poly before popping all of its insta cast damage
These matchups are already auto win into aff/destro unless they’re trash
What is phase shift? Im not a warlock expert.
But the point is the imp can instantly dispel that poly unless it is also cced.
It was removed a while back. Effectively you could get the imp stam buff but the imp was completely passive and couldn’t be harmed. If you took him out of that or had him attack, had soul link active, etc, then it would cancel PS.
Pre cast a re-poly sorry if that wasn’t clear
Thats already dispelling an 8 sec poly and then leaving a gap between the cc chain for the healer to overgrowth/earthen wall/radiance/coccoon though, lol
So the imp is that weak when it comes to durability? I guess it makes sense.
Run imp into rmp rn see how often a 15 sec 1 magic effect dispel is
If it was broken it would be played every game
It’s not
Because the felhunters purge and interrupt obvioisly outweigh it. Which will obviously change once cs is baked into the lock not the pet. People arent running imp because singe magic is bad, they are running felhunter since its better.
No, aff is still supposed to sac pet into rmp which implies no kick or purge
What is the point of ur question if you’re just going to argue
no one will use imp, and the talents go to improve drain life, soul link and consume fragment will return the lock tank with brutal damage in tyrant, in diesmo bolt with demon bolt and doom loaded with pets.
The only point im arguing about is letting the healer have 1 global to cast while tghe mage has to repoly a singed poly is still huge in terms of disrupting a go from rmx not to mention hunter comps who cant retrap. Other than that I dont know well about locks esp when it comes to saccing their pet or not. I also dont know if imps die easily or not even though. But how does soul link work if the pets sacced? Dead talent node?
Soul link is most likely a dead talent node into a lot of comps
Good hunter teams currently cover trap with BOTH hunters mark and ret slow/feral root depending on the comp
Against mages the lock is going to have to use the dispel offensively given mage survivability and defensively which means it might not always be up for when the warlock needs it
Don’t think it changes too much
