Since phase 4 dropped Leotheras’ Demon Phase is no longer considered a demon, I dont see any patch notes on this. Is this a bug or a fix? Further increases the difficulty of paladin FR tank that fight.

I noticed today when tanking the demon with my pally and Exorcism didn’t work.
Felt like dumb trying to get him with that snap threat.

Thats a big rip
They also made him unattackable while breaking from the demon, so no more cheesing free damage during his silly RP dialogue.
How is that a problem? You are purposefully taking the harder route by tanking it with a paladin. Embrace the challenge or step aside and let the Warlocks do their job.
Leo melts anyway I don’t even see the point in using a paladin lol.
It’s not easier to use a warlock. That’s among the many reasons people don’t use a warlock.
Using a normal tank allows that tank to not only tank the human phase but fire phase while they will take slightly more damage on human the other tank will norm grab first as higher snap agro having two tanks trying for agro, keeps him of dps more often durring the agro resets but having two tanks do this is pointless if one is not doing fire as just wasting what could be a dps (feral druid).
A warlock tanking fire phase further wastes a dps slot so more effect to have a fr tank and normal tank resulting in two tanks for human without having to give up what could be a full dps via a feral in kitty gear and without having to give up a warlock via fire res. Gaining you significant raid damage while a pally or druid tank both take less damage when taking demon due to the spell being dodgeable as such druid dodge it often slowing the stack gain rate while pallys have higher spell mit baseline than warlocks. And before you try to say melee can dps if a tank is doing it that’s wrong standing at max melee range gives to a of room for both melee and tank to hit boss without splashing anyone.
There is literly no gain what so ever to have a warlock do the fire res tanking compaired to a tank esp in t6 where tanks already have fire res set made for illidan furthermore crit immune fire res sets that allow tanking both demon and human.
But yes if he’s no longer a demon a druid fire res tank is better than pally where it was opposite before warlock is still worse than both options just means pally needs a md if he’s not a demon.
The amount of warlocks who don’t have FR gear is too damn high. 
This is the most hilarious contrarian post I’ve heard all year. If you are having problems with dps on leo because it takes the lock 2 seconds more to grab threat I just don’t know what to say. If anything your whole argument boils down to a parsing problem which further cements it into the non issue category.
Out of all the fights that require a ranged tank Leo has to be one of the easiest. Tanking Krosh on HKM was harder lol.
Thanks for the laugh though.
Then they are terrible locks. I had the full set my first week being a 70 in P1. Even less of an excuse now that all raids drop badges too.
I have been tanking Leo on my warlock since day 1 of phase 2…easy as eff, no wipe…purple mage ftw
And?
Just since something is easy dosent make it not harder than the other options. Warlock fire tanking is not only the less optimal pick it is harder for the raid overall to get the kill. Never once spoke about the diff for the warlock himself as really that dosent matter much the diff to get the kill dose.
Also @notch way to read my post at all your comment shows you clearly dint. Most of what I said is nothing to do with parsing issues. It’s fact warlocks take more damage while producing less threat while needing to get a set for the one fight that your tank already need for others. While losing the raid a dps and are unable to help tank human phase so you are losing half a dps for one phase vs losing half a tank (about 1/4 a dps) to gain advantage to both phases. Fair better. There is no advantage to a warlock tank over a pally or a druid as per my post so why would you pick the option that makes it harder. You claimed warlock tanking is easier for the raid in your post which is completely untrue and what I countered. There is nothing about warlock tanking that has any advantage over using a tank and in each element your raid is worse off.
Agreed. I would be excited to have a FR set as a lock. Don’t have a lock this go around.
Yikes. Get off your high horse warlock main… isnt this thread about the fight being bugged and the demon phase not registering him as a demon? Thanks for your help!
Every lock wants to be the big pp 99 parse god, but not the utility lock. U_U Take the fire res and shadow res locks and hold em close. Do not let em go.
But srsly you should be using Warlocks to tank Leo as that’s how the fight’s designed. That change was probably made specifically to tell Pallies to bugger off as all Warlocks gotta do is Searing Pain. Searing pain is Searing pain. Gets ezpz high aggro as long as you got hit and doesnt require the enemy to be a demon.

…are you dense? Hes a demon… he should be counted as one… and I can still tank him just fine as a druid wearing my fr gear.
He clearly doesn’t identify as a demon anymore and blizz is just being inclusive
