Metamorphosis as visual flavor only

I would play my warlock way more if it was just a flavor spell i could toggle on/off.

It would give affliction and demonolgy green fire spells.

Doesnt even need to be called metamorphosis, i jyst want to use the model again

I’m desperate for a tank spec and would rather it get saved for something like that

Not sure where they could put something that’s purely cosmetic for Warlocks only that could be toggled on/off. There’s nothing in the game, currently, that allows for that.

It’s never coming back in retail. DH exists and is not going away, just move on already.

If DH was even close to the class fantasy people enjoyed from Warlock Metamorphosis, this conversation wouldn’t be happening

Be nice if and should Warlocks have a tank spec you turn into a Pit lord now wouldn’t that be sick or even a fel lord with a massive legion axe.

its not any different than the druid forms like treant form. just something that can be on or off

They should just make a DH spec that is ranged, like in WC3 when DH goes meta and essentially throws chaos bolts at people. The problem is that dilutes destruction, which took on chaos bolt to make it less like fire mage… and so the solution isn’t so simple, but, DH should be entitled to the WC3 ranged spec.

No, they shouldn’t. They’d have to completely redo the entire class tree. DH is fine having just two specs.

Those are glyphs that alter a current form, Warlock doesn’t have that. Nor do we have a form change mechanic that can be altered.

The playstyles are so different, dh feels empty. Id like to just see it added as an optional spell like ckrpse explosion or old glyphs. I worked hard for my green metamorphosis and i want it back

If we’re being true to the games lore and what not.

WC3 demon hunter in meta just shoots chaos magic from their eyes. Eye beam basically is that. Metamorph is basically just letting a demon hunter do a bunch of chaos magic attacks whereas out of it they’re more just enhanced physical skills.

Meta on warlock never made sense and shouldn’t come back as long as demon hunters are officially here.

It follows the typical caster vs fighter hybrid pattern:

Priests wield the light. Paladins are infused with it and fight.

Necromancers wield undeath. Death knights embody undeath and fight.

Warlocks wield chaos and subjugate demons. Demon Hunters embraced all of it to become the demon and fight. That’s what metamorph is.

The greenfire quest explains why/ how metamorphosis works with warlocks and dh meta and warlock meta are very different and would fit perfectly well without steppjng on eachothers toes

I’ve thought about this alot. warlocks having a tank spec. then it occured to me that demon hunters are the warlock tanks we wanted.

You wanted maybe, they’re a pale imitation of what I’m after

I have no interest in a warlock tank spec. Dark apothosis was cool, but mostly i just want the meta visual back.

I think they brought it back but visually nerfed, they call it “malevolence”
and cannot be used in demonology :shushing_face:

It seems so wrong to me that the demonbolt is not green, since demonology would be the most “fel” spec (as seen in the background photo in the classic talents).
green drain soul would be interesting .
BUT, they still haven’t fixed the imp firebolt or soulfire when using green fire, I don’t think they’ll do it anytime soon
