Post by shadowchaos » Sun May 04, 2025 6:44 am

I saw some warlock 's pet felhunter cast Devour Magic almost every 1.5 sec to remove the buff of his enemy .
I thought it had a 8 sec CD ,is the TWOW remove its CD ?

There is still a cooldown but it needs to be removed so its more like a priest dispel on retail ; just separate it into 1 offensive and 1 defensive its currently impossible to even start chipping at someone due to so many hybirds(shadow priests/disc priests, druid hots) due to all the shields they have on them. this way you actually have a chance at removing a priest's shielding.

Here i am sending my pet in there and /wait tapping foot for 30 seconds while it dispels everything but it still fails to dispel the shielding. also perhaps quad its auto attack damage? we are on t3.5 and pet auto attack damage is still in phase 0 i think its less damage than retail

this is not an issue at all felhunter is already extremely powerful vs priests it can singlehandedly make you win by simply popping devour on auto cast while you survive long enough. once u get his buffs off you'll perma dispel his renew and bubble easy. plus tainted blood for 5 perma debuffs now so he wastes gcds on dispelling ur dots. disc is abit diff though since they can 1shot u with inbred smite procs while not having to hardcast anything.

the real problem is that pets die instantly now, even 1 dot is enough to solo it and u have to spam dispell on your pet to keep it alive meaning it cant actually do its job

theoretically since buffs are cheaper to cast now they can just rebuff but they still cost gcd's and 99% of priests are zug zugs so at the end of the day not much has changed

i dont really know why pet scaling is exclusive to the demo tree thats dumb af. every spec needs warlock pets

thats like removing frost nova and blink from 2 of the mage specs...

Smite is a casted spell, the proc relies on the 1st Smite to crit. If you have a Felhunter, you can actually counterspell the Smite and lock out Holy.

Warlock has the tools vs casters, their problem as always since classic, is having the wrong pet out vs the class you are fighting.

You can spell lock a priest? LOOOOOL

tell me you've never played the game.

No. It procs on ALL crits.

Meaning they can get procs on insta cast holy nova or healing themselves with 1.5 flash of lights behind LOS.

Please stop talking.

So ironic when these clueless andies tell you how to play the game when they're the same people clicking all their spells and go 3/20 every bg in busted naxx+ gear crying_turtle
