Unpopular opinion, give warlocks lust

Warlocks aren’t meta and unless you’re making your own groups or playing with friends, you’re at the bottom of the barrel most likely.

Your chances of getting invited are infinitely less because you don’t have lust.

There’s already too many Classes with lust as it is.

Succubi are lusty enough.

So why have some classes that don’t have it so they get singled out?

Warlocks don’t need more utility. What we need is a kit more fitting with the heavily mobile playstyle of WoW. And perhaps a little quality of life on our existing utility, aka AoE curses that last longer. Venthyr Warlocks were bad but Impending Catastrophe was a brilliant spell tbqh.

Also, warlocks haven’t been meta since Warlords of Draenor ba dum tsh

No they aren’t. We need the Eredar Twins.

Man that spell was great, but the ardenweald soulbinds were too good so ended up going back. Plus, preferred the garden to tea time. But Impending Catastrophe was absolute fav spell.

Ha! Funny joke. Hurts that its true tho

We already have a Brez, I don’t think we need lust. I wish we had a touch effect and that curses were actually impactful, makes no sense that curses aren’t at 100% effect against raid/dungeon bosses, imagine if raid buffs only applied half of it against bosses, it’s just as dumb.

I still can’t believe they didn’t keep it. It should 1000000% be in the warlock class tree as a bottom capstone, a lot more interesting than that stupid Soul Conduit

It’s only unpopular because we really don’t need another class with lust. We should have every class bring some sort of buff, and as such warlocks should have something for a buff.

I don’t want this.
But I will admit, giving Succubus a Lust spell would make perfect sense.

What if Blizzard plays on the Brez mechanic for Warlocks. Make that our ‘buff’ we bring? Beef our brez up. Just an thought, something like, Battle rez up to 3-5 players instantly that are in a 10 yd radius of the warlock. Maybe add to it; those that are ressed are alive for 2mins and then their souls return to their bodies. During this time they have X debuff and X buff. Only one Lock can do this per encounter. Or something to that affect?

Probably a bad idea but just trying to think outside the box.

I would love a curse that buffs damage received like old school Curse of elements . would be nice to have a crit chance/ damage buff for group.

I don’t think lust is really what we’d want.
Either lean into the curse stuff and let us apply it much more easily in AoE
OR
I rather have either stamina like before as a priest alternative, or something like a unique 3% haste group buff.

Dark Intent could come back as 2% haste, 2% periodic damage/healing. General buff benefitting most people with a more niche rider a la Skyfury.

We already have a Brez

and they need to give us 1.5s cast time baseline, because things can be nasty during that entire cast time

I… have to actually agree… I also don’t think Warlock should get lust, but… Succubus with lust sounds kind of awesome

I would be fine with a silence/interrupt backed into the class, i hate that we need to summon the fellhunter just for it

It doesn’t, because “lust” isn’t lust, is bloodlust the lust the succubus give is for you know what, bloodlust is frienzed rage in combat

See, I agree, but taking the logic further out means Imps would need their magic cleanse made baseline cause then why not have it out for the utility. Further out, same logic for voidwalker, same for succubus…

In that scenario, would it be better to take all utility from all warlock pets, and make it baseline customizable? Like, you select what your pet can do and no matter which is selected its always the same abilities?

Like, agreed, kick should be baseline, but opens a can of worms of what having a pet even is for. Should it be a purely cosmetic thing? In that case….whats special about demo? (I say, as someone who is over the quantity over quality schtick)

Im fine with a talent note called “grimoire of summoning: X” so you can pick the silence or another one, leaving you with the third option of an active pet and one you don’t.

Warlocks HAVE lust!

…For their Succubus.

In all other regards though I agree with you. A Warlock literally cursed the Orcs with Bloodlust. They should have that spell, not Mages with “Time Warp”. Mages already have food and portals. That is IMHO way more than enough.

No, orcs already had blood fury, the pact with manoroth/drinking demonblood made then fall into demonic rage.

But ye, mages should NOT have lust either.
