Options for demons other than felhunter

As a new imp transmog and pet customizations in barbershop coming on 10.1.5, it would be great if we get an optional talent for the spelllock castable from warlock itself.
Otherwise, we will never see any demons other than felhunter (or felguard for demo) on dungeons and pvp contents.

I understand why it was reverted back right before the Dragonflight release, and I do love the concept that warlocks can interrupt even they are being stunned but their felhunters are free.
So let’s try to make it a talent, so that warlock “absorbs” the felhunter’s spelllock once talented, or felhunter keeps its power when opt-out. I think this perfectly fits the design of Dragonflight talent system.

Furthermore, even without the spelllock on itself, felhunter can devour magic, which is as useful as other demon pets’ abilities.
So I believe this would only provide more variety and strategy on warlocks’ demon choices without any downsides.
What do you guys think?

I’m in full agreement.

I’m confused as to why Blizzard are adding imp customizations, and more confused as to why Warlocks are excited about it. It’s like telling a Fire Mage they can customize their Frost spells.

We never use the Imp. Why are people excited?

I use the Imp when a dispel is useful. Which isn’t often, but it does happen.

But yes time would have been better spent on custom fel hunter skins

Though to be honest with the amount of thought that goes into warlocks, I’d be astounded if any of the development team realized we don’t really use the Imp.

The imp is one of my fav demons, love that funky little guy, but besides scenarios where you need an extra dispell you never use him

But also the excitement for the imp is still real because it carries with it the promise of more new demon forms. I don’t think we will get them all at once but I’d be very surprised / disappointed if we only get an imp

Maybe a hot take but I’d love to see lock get an interrupt, give feldog something else, and free up options a bit.

Imps are generally used by non-Demo Warlocks in dungeons and raids (where a spell interrupt isn’t needed) due to how quick it is to switch targets.

I know it won’t but it would be truly awesome if the new imp looks also applied to HoG and wild imps.

My thoughts exactly. I hope this pack comes with new skins for other demons as well, because otherwise (sans the new imps) this new feature will be just a Glyphs → Barber with no effective end result other than no more money on glyphs.

I’m all for more customization. I use my imp in dungeons and raids sometimes for fun.

Also remove the 30 second cooldown on succubus seduce to make it more viable. It already shares DR with fear and was spammable for like 10 years. Not sure why the cooldown is needed…

Every ‘type’ of demon we can use should get another option/model. They can exclude the sayaad one since we just got the incubus, but the succubus could def use an update, including the green felflame recolor from Legion.

As long as my Fel Imp doesn’t lose his name (Niple).

Could also add the knockback to whiplash again. That was a nice feature back then…

Dont worry you get a cool upgrade to the felhunter now!

Ah I saw! So nice… hopefully they’ll add Incubus skins too because Succubus already got a few!

Locks should just be able and go enslave demons like hunters do animals. Yes, they would need to be broken into classes of demons that locks aleady have.

Anything less is lazy by Blizz

Just because y’all don’t make use of it does not mean others are not lol

Not sure I’d call them cool, but at least it’s getting some attention!

I’m probably just too used to the standard model :slight_smile:

You can be inefficient and a group-burden to your hearts content. The rest of us however feel pretty forced into Fel Hunter 99.9% of the time.

Anyways. We’re now getting Fel Hunter customization (3 color variants) so it’s a moot point.

It’s the assumptions for me.

I’m a pvper. Imp is plenty useful in said content. Regardless, If yall are mechanically inept to not know how to use something. Just say that.

And his teammates wonder why there’s always a missed interrupt.
