Pretty please? I'd rather have it as a combat rez than as a useless spell.
Our plan is still to let Soulstones be used on dead targets, effectively giving warlocks a combat resurrection as well. Unlike the death knight one, which was a relatively straight forward change, the warlock one requires new code. We still plan on making this change for 4.1, but we will keep you updated.
Having lots of unique and powerful abilities is not always compatible with having 10-player raids. We don’t think the smaller raid needs every possible buff or defensive ability to be successful, but we were convinced that the combat rez made groups without a druid at a significant disadvantage. It’s often subjective as to what constitutes mandatory raid tools. In our minds, combat rez has become one.
So this clarifys that you want to make it so that even if someone in the raid makes a major flaw and gets a person killed its ok? I see homogenizing and catering to bad players here.
With this logic why not give everyone combat rez. Give everyone ank too. If you haven't sensed my sarcasm; how about you keep combat rez unique to druids, but give it a LONG CD, cast, or require tons of mana.
What is the point of classes?!?
On what planet does this make any sense? I swear do they just throw darts at a wall with ideas on how to respond to improving classes. I dont think i heard any warlock asking for this. There are like 100x more important lock issues to work out and this is what they do?
