Warlocks And The Finger of Death

Ok so history lesson here:

WC3 had this unit called Warlock, and it was used for one character: Archimonde.

And the Warlock unit in WC3 had a very nice spell called “The Finger of Death”.

“Instantly turns a creature or building inside-out, destroying it utterly.”

It was nice.

The WoW versions of Archimonde have a spell with the same name, but unfortunately it doesn’t turn anyone inside-out or instantly destroy anyone utterly :frowning:

That said, I would like to request that the Finger of Death (in it’s original incarnation) should be added to the Warlock Spellbook. I would even go as far as to call it even for the removal of the greatest spell of all time, the green Warlock Meta.

Please, Blizzard. Just give me the Finger!

That’s DnD. It’s a different game.

Ha, beat me to it.

Finger of Death, like many Warcraft spells, is directly ripped off from D&D.

There it is, proof that warlocks don’t wash their hands if their touch kills. For shame. :scream:

No, no. That’s Monks. That’s the Touch of Death.

The Finger of Death is ranged. We just make finger guns (the world’s unholiest of gestures) and the enemy turns inside out and dies.

Sure, we can give it to Demon Hunters in their 3rd ranged spec. Destruction.

I’m sorry I couldn’t resist.

Demon Hunters 3rd spec will be Shadow Hunter. This time Shadow priest will have to give up their shadow form because it be a talent for DH.

Oh my God YES! It was so much fun spawning archimonde on map creator and just going HAM on everyone with this abilities.

Maybe have it be a max level talent with it either being a big CD spell that if it kills someone, they have a similar effect to corpse explosion (RIP my favorite DK spell, Blizz took you from me too soon) or have it be an execute ability with the same effect.

Used to love that spell. Red lightning shooting from the caster and blasting into someone or something. I recall other characters that had it too. I believe the Gul’dan model did and maybe one of the dreadlords…

Here ya go. Fixed.

Yeah, pretty sure we all get the Finger from Blizzard every so often.

Warlocks dont have any sort of execute ability do they? Doom and Shadowburn are the only things I can think of, but those arent quite the same. Perhaps Finger of Death could be added in as an execute ability. Though with curses coming back, doubt youll see anything else given to them.

Stares at character

It never fails… why must you Night elf Rogues torment me so?

*Laughs in Windmaster Monk Touch of death

Touch of Death is to DH Chaos Strike what the Finger of Death is to Warlock Chaos Bolt.
