Sneak peak...Follow

This would be fun skill to have but doesn't this pretty much sound like "blink 2"? And the fast summoning sounds like a joke, considering that demonology warlocks can summon their demons already in 0,5sec.

I know this was said by blizzard officials, so it must have some truth in it but nevertheless I wouldn't raise my hopes yet.

Make no mistake, I would love to have this ability as well (also the blink2 ability), but I feel that they provide nothing new and mages/demonology locks would start whining over them. Why putting talent points into fel domination and master summoner if every lock has demonic circle to do the same thing "talent free"?

That said, the summoning ability might give blizzard possibility of giving demonology locks completely new talent to replace fel domination, which could get interesting... I Didn't think of that earlier :)

A New Hope....

heh, that ability is almost identical to the one I suggested to them... seems they 'may' have liked the idea :D also yeah, would love to see something like this. would sort alot of the issues with melees

for the 'warp thing' to be a viable escape spell it'll have to be on a fairly short cd. 1min at most imo, so it'd be a much better choice than fel dom most time. and for it to be viable to 'escape+resummon pet' then it'd probably need to be nearing a 50% cast time reduction.

Heh, I linked those here the other day, most seem to think they're just lightening the load for the 3.0 patch. Of course, a couple more buffs wouldn't go amiss =D

Out of the many different things that blizz tests, this is one of the few that I am very confident that will be implemented in due time. I play on a PvP server but I know a lil about the lore of warlocks and how they were basically mages that delve too deeply into the "dark" magics. So if you think about it, it almost comes out to be a reverse blink, and I hope it does the same things as blink does. Think about putting a circle down quickly 30ft behind a choke point in AV or anywhere in a arena. Or in even in raids when something comes your way very quickly why not just teleport away from danger and continue casting as you were?!?!
On the other hand the summoning part seems VERY situational to me like in Arenas when a Sl/Sl lock loses their buffs when their FelHunter bites the dust. And for those that are Demo Speced that loses their FG will just laugh at this with Fel Domination. But anyways, the only doubts I have is if Blizz skrews it up and makes it visible to other players or doesnt let you escape things like blink lets you. I dont belive they will tho, because a visible circle will kinda defeat the purpose because in a BG I garuntee a rogue will love that one. It would be truely amazing to see this happen and it will also be amazing to see other classes see us get this o.O

Unfortunatly even tho I care as much about the lore as Blizz does, I'll have too agree. I wrote about it tho because how much sense it would make to give a warlock a spell like that.

I don't see this as a precursor to more fear nerfs.

Since blizz specifically mentions they can't balance warlocks 'tanking' melee classes, I have a feeling melee is going to scale even better against clothies in WotLK.

Since mages, druids, and rogues already have their bevy of escape tricks, they have to give us something to stay up and away.

Sure, this might leave shammies out in the cold, again, but who knows what is coming for them.
