Demo talent tree was pretty tanky in tbc and wotlk, a lot of ppl liked that playstyle.

tanky=/=tank

granted we've lost a lot of the 'tanky caster' flavor we used to have, but we're getting a bone thrown at us in the form of a 10% health buff next patch. We were never meant to be full-fledged tanks, and never will be.

adding a different color skin to our fire spells is negligible compared to either adding a spec or mutilating one to satisfy an extreme minority of warlock players lol

no :|

Meta was fun, but warlocks are not shapeshifters.

(kanrethad was exception but his was a 1 way thing and Gul'dan was pumped so full of power no other mortal warlock would get that strong)

Transforming into a Voidwalker doesn't make much sense. However, transforming into a hulked, fel-infused form like Gul'dan in the Nighthold would make sense.
Lol dark apotheosis or guldan demon form would have been nice but blizzard only wants npc warlocks to transform.

Just think they need a whole new spec but thats too much work for them

You can get different colors already. I think red and green are the two choices.
MoP Demo could viably tank with good ol Meta. They even had a taunt
No no no no no. Voidwalkers already been done.

If you want to have us tank, call us Puppetmasters...

And let us ranged tank with a Felreaver 'pet'. Our buttons are a combo of activating the reaver's attacks as well as supporting it with our own spells and dots, and maybe summoning in some short term legion machinery like cannons. Healers will need to heal us because we will use health funnel to keep it fueled/defenses up. Pull with rockets, have that massive punch-the-ground as a high threat/aoe, and do some sick exhaust felflames.
What about the fel/void revnant as a demon form, that would be cool as hell. Even if its just a viable tank for like 30 sec to save a group or tank from dieing in emergencies
Can we stop with the whole "warlock transforming into a demon" idea? Blizzard killed it, and rightly so. It was clunky AF, and never flowed or worked properly. It was trash.

We are casters, and casters don't belong in melee range

Also, if any spec was going to transform into a voidwalker, I'd think it would be shadow priests

you either never played in mop, or you played in mop and just weren't that good because it was one of, if not the smoothest spec in the game lol

still don't think warlocks should tank, but saying that is just patently false lol
tbh back in mop I was legit tanking siege of org encounters in demo with my guild for fun and it was great and it worked fine... was a bit squishier than your average tank but it was easy enough...

wouldnt recommend for progression or actual raiding but it would be great to have it available again just for fun or even just to occasionally have that moment where the tank drops and you can pop meta and hold the boss for a few seconds while the group gets him back up again.

imo its those little moments where classes get to use those really niche abilities they had that they didnt use often to have a little super hero moment where they can feel like they saved the group or did something awesome that really made the game fun, which is why its sad that a lot of those kinds of abilities have been pruned now so you dont get that feeling as much anymore.
