All my other toons have some kind of movement buff or ability, however my warlock doesn’t have any. Please give warlocks some movement buffs with the new expansion.

Disagree.
Make them more into slow caster tanks.
Dont you have that speed boost that drains hp
or was that removed
Warlocks have Burning Rush. Personally I liked Soulburn Teleport where you got a little speed boost after using it but at least there is something.

Burning Rush. Ill give you death’s advance for it.
Yeah… all I have on my Warlock is my Engineering Boosts.
It’s a talent. Which I never pick since it overwrites Demon Armor.
Yeah, I really think they should just buff Soul Leech to be the Demon Skin version of it.
Sadly, a lot of talents suffer from this problem and end up having nearly 100% pick rates among players because of it.
why not just take it over demon armor? demon armor is nice, but being able to dodge mechanics is better.
I just dislike how Warlocks have the only skill that deals damage to yourself to gain speed… I feel like itlose the self damage to be more on par with other classes? Maybe just a 30 sec C/d and it lasts 15 secs.
Druid feral form and travel form toggle.
Shaman spirit wolf toggle.
Mage Blinks in any direction and can cast.
Priests have feathers and shields boost.
All casters besides Warlocks dominate in movement without any set backs… does that seem fair?.
Don’t they have 2 portal moves also? Plus they are supposed to be tanky casters.
The thing is, one portal everyone can use and the other is talent choice, same with burning rush… and on the same talent line.
So Warlocks have really no choice in that talent tree.
And because it’s the most viable so we have a movement skill it’s a must pick. burning rush thats is.
Really even wouldn’t call it tanky caster either, most end game content raid and high keys you get one shot with most mechanics like all other casters. So leaves you confused about how a talent most desired kills yourself.
Yup. But we have to talent into it. And we miss out on a damage reduction talent to kill ourselves while we run faster.

Demon Skin* is the talent. Demon Armor is an honor talent. Sorry, just don’t want people being confused.
In almost all situations you don’t really need Burning Rush, that’s why it’s not picked very often. And Demon Skin is just so good for passive absorption that everyone picks it.
Would be nice though if they just baked Demon Skin in to the normal Soul Leech passive and put another talent in its place to promote some flexibility in that row, but we’ll have to see what changes they make with SL talents at this point since it’s too late in BfA.

You have burning rush already, don’t think you need anything else in pve.
If you want mobile why are you playing a warlock
It always struck me as particularly stupid how quickly burning rush drains your HP. Not only are you losing a defensive talent in order to pick it, but you cause yourself a hefty deal of damage to use it for any length of time. If you activate burning rush for 8 seconds, which is the same amount of time almost all other movement speed buffs in the game last, you take 32% of your Health in damage. For an average character that’s 100,000-130,000 health lost, just to be able to move the same speed for the same length of time as nearly every other class can do with absolutely no downside.
Burning rush is a poorly designed ability, the downsides are too great compared to the benefits, and there are no alternatives.
This has been around that long, since 2020. And it hasn’t changed. All other alts have a speed buff, but the warlock’s speed is a talent. And there goes any hope of getting anything and so now I’ll just stop wishing for it and slug along until I can select a talent that damages me, LOL!
Ignoring the 3 year necro.
As a resto shaman, warlocks have more mobility than I do.
