Q u o t e:
Warlocks have nothing to complain about.

You already do more DPS, have better CC, and bring much more utility to a group than a Hunter.


So simple and so flawed. Brilliant.

If your group is unwilling to pull back a little to do CC, get another group. Fear is a fine CC method. Succi's will get one shotted in Heroics anyway by anything that is currently immune to Seduce.

What's better, the CCed mob killing the Succi between Seduce casts then being completly loose, or stepping back a few feet to do fear which you can recast all day long before any mob hits your or anyone in your group?

In an upcoming content patch (2.1.0) Warlocks will be able to use their succubus to seduce many humanoid creatures which are currently immune to charm effects.

Maybe change the old patch notes to read, "Fixed a bug where Priests were effective." ?

To clarify, the creatures do too much damage to allow them to be charmed (whether it be by a priest or by an engineer). Seducing them does not threaten the balance of the dungeon.

This will mostly effect heroics. And it only makes things able to be seduced -- it doesn't make anything immune to mind control that was previously charmable. It's not a nerf for priests. It's a bonus for Warlocks.

Woot! and shaman remain the class with ......

Subpar heals
2 good buffs (WF, Bloodlust)
No CC
Low mana pool
Low Mana regen


remind me again why you would take a shaman to a raid over any other class? Oh thats right, not enough paladins have leveled up yet.

When is the Horde getting Fear Ward?

Why havent you nerfed Gruul and Magtheridon yet? Are practicing the same business ethics you once slammed Sony for, selling an expansion with deliberately broken raid content to buy you time?

Well, I think the Priest complaining (which is somewhat valid) is that before if you wanted a Warlock for Seduce, you could swap in a Priest for Mind Control instead. Now warlocks can seduce those mobs and others, which Priests can't deal with.

However, that's not taking into account that Seduce is most likely not the only reason you're bringing the warlock. *shrug*

On a related note, can we get a working pettarget that doesn't rely on the pet actually going up to melee a mob?

Honey, you forgot the fact that priests cant use their spells and have a Mind Controlled target. But Warlocks can have both (except theirs is a demon, whop de do).

honey? lol.

That's true, but you can use your target's spells. When I run heroics with a shadow priest, we mind control instead of seduce whenever possible. Seduce is somewhat unreliable due to the Succubus' tendency to die in one unlucky cleave and relatively small mana pool.

Seduce is the worst form of crowd control anyway. It will be nice in a pinch.


but this is how it's gonna go.

Succubus seduces x target.

X target breaks seduce, proceeds to one shot pet.

Like banish, you can't reseduce while a target is seduced so you have to tell your dumb pet to reseduce. in that time, she'll likely get one shotted by a heroic mob.

With this change I might be compelled to seduce mobs that don't hit too too bad (like a caster maybe, but in general I'd rather use fear.

Priests still have shackle, the best UD crowd control. Warlocks may now be getting another cc in heroic mode, but both their cc's are pretty risky, especially in heroic mode.
