im asking for all the classes, im not asking to tell us everything but i would like to know if we have something to look foward to.

Questions
1. are all the locks tree's getting overhauled or just the demon tree?
2. like new pets for locks plz?? its been a long time some reg summons maybe switching 41 point to infernal and making fg a reg summon? we have no reg summons for 60 ,70 and 80 we need to keep up with other classes and lets make the game more fun for the people playing years
3. can we get a perma meta with a few nerfs for the QQers or will we have something new ?
3. faster dots? or cutting the dot timers down to make it seem like burst damage ?
4. maybe enslave demon being perma to kinda customize locks like the hunters ..im not asking to be as uber as hunters pets but we should almost match them since they are pet/burst class and we are pet/dot class

Q u o t e:

I am reluctant to use the word "overhaul" because that sets up an expectation for some players that is difficult to meet. We are changing some talents and spells in all 3 trees.

Additional demons are something we would like to do at some point, but first we want to get all the current demons useful. Hunters have a lot more flexibility in which pet they pick. Locks need certain demons for certain jobs and we're not convinced yet that they are all there (particularly that female one).

Q u o t e:
3. can we get a perma meta with a few nerfs for the QQers or will we have something new ?


We think we have enough instances of characters turning into other forms already.

Adding some on-demand burst damage for locks is something we are looking at.

Hunter pets are supposed to be more like life-long companions while warlocks tend to use and discard their demons as necessary. So we aren't really going for that one to one comparison.
