For warlocks the soulstone in general is powerfull and in my view a survival tool like faint death, vanish, etc…
At the moment its more or less useless and has lost any means as a survival tool for warlocks.
Wouldnt it be fair to let warlocks cast soulstone at least on their summons so they get back a little more survivability from soulstone?
Another bad suggestion. Would it be fair to not allow paladins to bubble hearth?
Welcome to wow hardcore and Warlock! Actually a Soultone brings a dead player back to life. It has nothing to do with survivability since its only used after a player died, contrary to the other abilities you list which are used to avoid death. Hope this helps.
Warlocks and Paladins should get 1-time-use Soulstone and Bubble Hearth in Hardcore. Maybe like a questline. Because these are abilities they have in Classic.
HC Soulstone should only be usable on the warlock himself because if it was castable on other players, it could create obvious problems of selling, etc.
Agree on Paladins. Bubble hearth should never have been banned.
Soulstone makes no sense at all. Its used after you die, which is the entire essence of hardcore.
True good point. I mean it’s just not practical to let pally have unlimited bubble hearth but on the other hand it’s not fair to take away a core ability combo from pally. So I think a good middle ground is a 1-time-use bubble hearth, kind of like Light of Elune + Hearthstone.
Personally I’d like Soulstone and even Ankh to be changed to give perhaps % health back when brought to zero, they both have long CDs, SS obviously should be give less health compared to Ankh.
But a change like this isn’t insanely broken but just added benefit then be completely useless.
But in all honesty I just play priest so doesn’t bother me, but with changes like this might see the value in Warlocks and Shamans be brought into 60 Dungeons.
In all my Dungeons I’ve been invited too it’s always Rogue/Hunter/Mage 98% of the time as dps, the 2% was Rogue/Ele Shaman/Mage in a Strath UD run I healed a few days ago my one and only time so far I’ve seen a dps Shaman and double Rogue/Mage in a Strath Live.
I haven’t done UBRS yet, gotta complete my quests for Rings before I attempt that. So team comps might involve them.
Soulstone is a core warlock mechanic, and it should instead act as a cheat death in hardcore.
but none of this matters with Petri ruining the entire essence of hardcore anyway.
Rebirth and soulstone should have 7 day cooldown and bring you back at 1 hp if they ever do bring it into hardcore, which they shouldn’t
Edit: typo
Players using Flask of Petrification like water but warlock being allowed a core ability? Community is outraged! What a joke.
Not to mention they keep nerfing little things on the HC realms to make HC easier than the regular version, like changing some mobs from hostile to neutral. Makes zero sense to me.
What about rogue cheat death? How come that’s allowed
I keep my soulstone in as a flex.
