Make warlock pets retain buffs when unsummoned

[Nerat]

This just a simple tweak that I'd like to see, to have warlock pets on par with hunter ones (and help a little with dungeon runs). Currently an unsummoned warlock pet loses all buffs, whether it be class abilities, scrolls or world buffs, while hunter pets do not.

I see no bad consequences for this. Anything which makes the game more just and better.

As long as it doesn't work outside of instances.

Why?

PvP concerns.

PvP concerns.

How would this affect PvP? And why is it fine for hunter pets to work this way, but warlock ones not?

Wouldn't that mean that a warlock could "store" buffs on several demons?

However, I do agree that it probably sucks when a warlock loses all demon buffs only because they don't want to wipe their party/raid by jumping down somewhere.

Edit: how about a talent deep down the demo tree that lets a warlock copy their active buffs with reasonable receptions) onto the demon with a short cast time?

Just give them an ability that calls the last summoned pet instantly if it isn't dead (and keeps buffs) rather than having to spend 10 seconds casting everytime you take a flight path or have to dismiss it for a dungeon jump etc.... Why I refuse to play warlock it's just too much inconvience and annoying with that and all the soul shards etc... There's a reason why locks the least played class.
