Warlock Summoning problem

Why are Warlocks still the only class that can summon players. It’s been almost 20 years and the closest thing we had was besides a stupid Warlock was [Have Group, Will Travel]. Let Engineers or Mages or even Archaeologist have a summon spell.

End of Rant.

If warlocks lose summon as a unique ability, mages should lose portal as a unique ability

And as an engineer, more then happy to cover both!

Its funny that you’re making this post as a mage wearing Warlock lookalike tier. Sounds like jealousy to me :wink:

Real talk, though, I don’t care if another class gets the ability to summon. Likewise, another class should get mage portals :stuck_out_tongue:

Kinda weird i guess mages can conjure up portals across the planet and dimensions AND the ONLY class that can magic up food and drink…but cant bring a person to them by spell…?

If mages are allowed to summon then allow warlocks to cast portals. I think that would be a fair trade.

I’m playing Arcane. Purple fits well with the theme.

@saucepot Yah, I don’t mind losing the portal to cities. Give it to an engineer.

Everyone can summon just outside the instance.

why are mages the only ones who can make free food for the group teleport and open portals for others to use?

Why DO mages get all of that?

There’s lots of purple that isn’t Warlock tier :wink:

Right? Everyone should be able to tank, dps, heal, summon, portal, stealth, glide, double jump, bloodlust, PI, and int/mark/fort the party.

Who needs classes when we can just do something dumb instead?

You mean I have to waste another 3-5 minutes to run outside. Go summon someone them, wait for the load screen, buff them up etc. It’s just another time waster.

I understand why it’s good to travel to dungeons/raids. But to only have 1 class and no other options is just absurd. This isn’t Classic WoW.

If you gotta replace someone, that’s usually because you wiped one too many times and they left, in which case you’ll already be at the entrance.

And classic wow doesn’t have summoning stones outside.

Yeah like having a magic based pet class and 2 melee based pet classes along with the physical ranged based pet class that can all tank, heal them selves and to a lesser extent heal others and revive them…but that would be weird?

Classic WoW was more about class identity; IE Warlocks summoning, Shaman Bloodlust, Druid Battle Res etc.

And I don’t understand how you can defend this. Would it not be better for the game for another way to teleport players to the Instance? Rather than going outside or having a Warlock in your group? Having options of these small tasks is what retail is. This is why we have repair mounts, auto-hammers, Jeeves etc.

Seriously, why are paladins the only ones who can bubble. It’s been 20 years ffs, we should all be able to do everything on every toon, this is dumb.

you’re right this isn’t classic, the summoning stones actually work for dungeons and raids
