Meta form changed! you can no longer cast fear in meta form. RIP locks.
it will definitely suck to still be the best dueler and have the highest damage in group pvp
it’s ok, I’m used to hardship

Yeah, thats a pretty big hit for PvP. Sucks, but we’ll probably be fine. Kinda wish it was just replaced with sleep.
I’m quite surprised that you can still use a pet in tank form, and that they haven’t announced that using Meta disables soul link…yet.

The class isn’t going to function as a tank without other massive changes if they do that. They’ve also said they want the tanks to be a bit better at different things, and warlock is currently the best at dealing with bosses that do all or mostly magic damage. Getting rid of soul link for lock tanks works against their stated goals.

I get the feeling flat damage mitigation might be their theme. Since all they have is that and dodge.
The form wasn’t nerfed. The taunt was changed. I will help absorb your OP tears. Change was necessary for balance. It isn’t like Warlock is suddenly weak. Are you playing another class because of this clearly obviously necessary change for balance? No? Didn’t think so.

You could say changing the cost to 100% base mana a nerf. People won’t be swapping in and out of it.
But technically before launch nothing is a nerf.
the cost is gonna be brutal assuming u can’t mount in meta form
One factor here is that the old taunt was based on curse of recklessness… Which would screw up curse assignments in raids, make the target being tanked hit slightly harder, and prevent the use of curse of elements by the tank lock (10% more threat) it was awkwardly designed and also too good for pvp.
Good change, even as a lock
For the best maybe? Warlocks were scary enough now that they are just literal dreadlords
Where did you find this?
it was datamined. Fear is now taunt instead of curse of reck. Saw it on youtube
Fear is replaced with a different skill which is your new taunt skill.
mind posting the source? would like to see the link w/ datamined info, ty.

Another kneecapping rip
Fear casting is for the weak anyway.
Awwwwww. But seriously, tankiness should come with drawbacks. Warriors lose access to abilities and damage when they enter defensive stance.
