Q u o t e:
* Demonic Rebirth (Tier 2) *New* - If your summoned demon dies, you gain the Demonic Rebirth effect reducing the cast time of your next summon demon spell by 50/100%. Lasts for 10 sec.


I am speaking both from the perspective of someone who plays a lock, and plays against locks.

Isn't this just a tad over the top? Every single time you kill a warlocks pet they can instantly re-summon it? Do the devs want to make killing the pet no longer a viable strategy? I was under the impression pet classes were supposed to manage and care about their pets survival? This pretty much just goes completely against that philosophy, if you can instantly re-summon it every single time it dies.

Just curious what the intent here is. Instantly re-summon your pet anytime it dies, and even if you somehow get cc locked for the entire duration of the buff, you can also soul shard it back out instantly. Just kinda seems like overkill in the other direction, even as a warlock....
