Warlock Arena issues

Because it is so difficult to get intelligent discussion on this topic, I am creating this new thread.

It will be heavily moderated.

You don't have to play a lock to post here. But I am only interested in a discussion of mechanics, problems, ideas and solutions.

This is not a place to request a massive overhaul of talents. This is not a place for your 5 page manifesto on how to redesign the class. This is not a place to whine about past neglect or how Blizzard doesn't understand or care about class. This is not a place to declare warlocks are OP and how we should pay attention to a different class.

Please stay focused. :)

Concise posts are more useful.

Thanks for everything so far.

I will repeat: this is not a place for manifestos. I am likely to skim or skip over them.

Warlocks have been commenting since beta that they are not Arena viable. We want to understand what changes the community thinks we would need to make to get you Arena viable. If that list of changes runs into the 100s and means touching every talent, then you are much less likely to see them implemented.

Challenge yourself to state the problem in as few words as possible. If you can't nail it that simply then I would argue you haven't considered the issue enough. For purposes of this thread I am trying to isolate "Gee wouldn't it be nice if" from "We can't function without."

I didn't phrase the original question this way because I didn't want you to think we would only make a single change, but, if it helps to address the topic...

What is the ONE change you would make to warlocks to help them in Arenas?
