The covent spell from the NF for warlock was amazing and so great for this class… plus all of the cool shapeshift forms.
I would love to see this added too.
Enjoy this poorly made meme.

While cool, and would be nice, I really don’t think we need it. If you use/macro the gateway well, you basically get a blink anyway. With burning rush, we literally move faster than almost (if not all) every class over medium/long distances - if running back to a boss in a raid, I’m always the first one there, even over demon hunters, etc. Our circle is busted, such a short cd and negates SO many m+ boss mechanics.
We have good movement if you use it well… we really don’t need more.
Gateway is extremely unfun to play. Annoyed that we’re forced to talent into it because it’s so useful. Would much prefer some sort of lone blink, or perhaps a way to allow team members to use our demonic portal.
(Would prefer a blink that actually relates to the class and the random animals that we had before.)
Warlocks are flawed with way too much preparation and its even more annoying in PVP. Healthstones, demonic circle, demonic gate, pet summon. You have to remember so much before every fight.
Plus if they removed gate, they could figure out better ways of increasing our survivability. Such as the return of soul harvest or casting while moving.
Problem is warlocks were rather tanky since cata, to the point of our turret rotations being applicable due to us eating mechanics since we couldn’t really move.
While we have still retained some of the tankiness, we’ve run into the issue of raids now being designed in a way that we can’t just eat mechanics, as it causes harm to the rest of the raid, or often has some sort of knockback associated with it.
This means that despite us having pretty good defense, its no longer enough to justify sitting in mechanics for things like Np/ tyrant windows, or destructions entire rotation.
I’d argue this is mostly a problem with raid and dungeon design, more so then the spec though.
