all cool ideas.
i would love to see warlocks be able to enslave a whole stable of demons just like hunters and their pets.

For Priests, Iâd be satisfied with:
Elune priest class skin - Silver/blue spell VFX for Holy Priest
Anâshe priest class skin - Gold/holy spell VFX for Shadow Priest
to start with.
Not only would it give both a Horde and Alliance flavor option but it finally gives players a âlight/holyâ DPS visual for Priests

Yeah, as a priest main of ~20 years this is probably why I argue so fervently for class skins 
I made this character the day the servers turned on because I wanted to play a Priestess of Elune, but here I still am, either throwing golden Light at people or getting tentacled.

A lot of WoWâs classes cleave too closely to very specific themes, powers or entities. When in the course of the games now 20 year lifespan those entities are defeated or somehow diminished the classes feel a little hollow.
Demon Hunters after Legion. Death Knights after The Scourge. And so on.
One of the reasons towards why I made this thread 
They have loa priests in the game though, so itâd be a good fitting nose-touch reference to those if they introduced such lore & spell visuals â Especially Bwomsamdi priests, where you could have silvery death glow visuals (like what radiates from the mythic Dazarâalor raid gear).
But yeah priest lore was sort of trashed on in Shadowlands too, given the light / void apparently had no purchase or relevance there ⊠Despite lore in the past specifically stating otherwise.
- Hence why I hope they retcon that element of Shadowlands or at least âaddâ lore depicting what the denizens of Shadowlands THINK is the truth of death, is in fact merely a piece of a very large puzzle.
However, as mentioned in my thread â Thereâs lots of ideas to use in paving the way for a brighter future for the classes. It may not be a complete fix, but hey: Itâs a good start 
And its something so simple to fix with the light stuff, even changing spell color would be a huge boom, silver light for night elves, more green/gray stuff for trolls, red for taurenâŠ
We even have destro warlocks with the fel fire as an example of how things could work, i never turn off my green fire.
would be cool to have mages with BLUE fire, to show the arcane shenanigan? warlocks also unlocking purple fire with shadowflame?
possibilities are finite but there are a lot of then

I just want my starshards back
Weâve got a handful of already existing spell animations that would fit most of what I listed too.
So they would hardly have to create something new, itâd just be switching out in options / adding the respective spell-animations into their kit.
Man Iâd love some more void themed stuff for warlock

Right!? Itâd be wicked cool. 
Imagine a little voidwalker that was a caster, in place of your imp

Plus all the aberrations you could use, like void revenant instead of Tyrant

Hmmm, necromancy for Warlock⊠I mean Iâd absolutely not be opposed to the missus learning some necromancy XD. Granted thereâs already a necromancer in the relationship.
You could also give a token nod to those that still want fel-themes and give them a fel-revenant option too.
Like I said earlier though â
Itâs already canon warlocks will use any forbidden magics they can. Itâs just the most common and powerful choice tends to be fel because it has a history in the lore.
I definitely prefer fel being the primary focus.
Wouldnât hurt to emphasise that though. 
Plus give some individuality to other players of the same class & make things more diverse and exciting
Getting some fel-touched & sha-touched undead would be pretty cool too, since we know both such powers can reanimate the dead.
Allowing players access to such variety is fine. However the more you emphasize the depiction of warlock npcâs using powers besides fel, the more you risk a lasting, progressive change in how warlocks are depicted in general. I want to avoid that.
If Blizz were to go this route, I have to stress that they must be careful. It would be deceptively easy to go too far.
This is a literal Shadow Priest hero power lol. And as it should be.
Eh. Blood Magic isnât really Warlock IMO.
Sha would be cool. But I think the whole deal with Sha is dealing with your own personal struggles right? Fear, doubt, pride, etc. Iâm not sure how Sha would be used as a weapon upon others moreso than yourself.
DKs are Necromancers and I will always stand by that.
I mean, the ideas revolving around fel seem to be shoehorned to Demon Hunters now
- That being said, with the writing they could emphasise the depiction of warlock NPCs using powers besides the fel without the above aesthetic additions, regardless.
On that note â Warlocks getting more variety gives them more room to be relevant in lore to 
Itâd be cool for a warlock to be brought along to deal with a blood magic problem, or the sha mysteriously reappearing - Only for something to go wrong, and maybe have a villain destabilise such powers from being used by others in that location, and just have the warlock smirk: âThatâs not the only thing in my arsenal âŠâ then unleash immense powers of the fel & overcome the situation. 
So with the right writing warlocks could shine with or without the additional features. However with such features, the roleplay community could at the very least write the narrative of their respective characters more to their liking.
Personally I wouldnât mind it â For particular race-class combos & relevant lore aspects.
However itâd be cool for demons to eventually become a significant threat again and get some warlocks to snap the fel-bangles on their coats 
âMah time to shine!â â In helping deal with such problems.
Shadow-Priests being a âvoidâ centric class was a retcon
It wasnât always focussed around the void.
As for warlocks, youâre a tad late as they literally already use the void â Itâd just be dabbling a bit more into that area.
Warlocks were never just around fel, they used it, but also used shadow/void magic and necromancy/death magic, quite a few of their spells deal shadowflame damage instead of fel/chaos damage
I said it before, but making a âpurple fireâ quest like the green fire one would be rly amazing, since instead of infusing your fire spells with fel you do it with the sahdow
Warlocks have always been demon focused. They didnât simply use fel, it was the primary source of their power. Everything else was supplemental. Back in the day, shadow, death, and fel magic were not distinctly different things. There was so much overlap it was almost impossible to distinguish them. In that way, they were indeed just around fel.
