3.2 Warlock Changes ?

Classes: General

All pets now receive 40% of their master's resilience and 100% of their master's spell penetration. In addition, if a player is at their appropriate spell hit chance or hit chance maximum, their pet will be at the maximum for spell hit chance, hit chance, and expertise. If they are below the maximum, their pet will be proportionately below those maximums.
Replenishment: This buff now grants 1% of the target's maximum mana over 5 seconds instead of 0.25% per second. This applies to all 5 sources of Replenishment (Vampiric Touch, Judgements of the Wise, Hunting Party, Enduring Winter Frostbolts and Soul Leech).

Warlocks

Banish: Effect will now be canceled if Banish is recast on a banished target.
Dreadsteed: Can now be learned at level 40.
Felsteed: Can now be learned at level 20.
Soulshatter cooldown reduced to 3 minutes, down from 5 minutes
Talents
- Affliction
  - Pandemic: Now also increases the critical damage bonus of Haunt by 100%.
- Demonology
  - Fel Domination cooldown reduced to 3 minutes, down from 15 minutes.
- Destruction
  - Empowered Imp: The warlock's critical hit chance is increased to 100%, up from 20% for the next spell cast after the Imp critically hits a target.
  - Fire and Brimstone: Reduced to 2/4/6/8/10% increased damage from Incinerate and Chaos Bolt on targets afflicted with Immolate, down from 3/6/9/12/15%.

Warlock Glyphs

Glyph of Lifetap: Duration of the buff from this glyph increased to 40 seconds.

Do you really have to nerf F&B after you do something right??? I actually felt like it was a worthwhile talent, and now they are knocking it down 5%

Slight nerf to Soul Leech, but the pet part sounds good...especially for the Fel Guard.

Is the Soul Leech part really a nerf? Sounds like we are getting .75% more from it.

I have to say, this is depressing. I was finally trouncing some melee DPS butt in raid as Destro. The empowered imp buff is nice, but taking the imp out of phase shift still isn't an option for quite a few fights.

Dizzygnome Character Info Dizzygnome 80 Gnome Warlock Turalyon Euro PvE Guild: Disposable heroes Profile: Blizzard Armory Talent Spec: 0/41/30	Re: 3.2 Warlock Changes ? 1% over 5 sec vs 0.25% over 1 sec (= 1.25% over 5 sec) means a 0.05% mana per sec nerf. It seems to me that dps wise things will not change much for destruction locks. Slightly higher crit chance, slightly lower average damage - it evens out. As far as soul leech is concerned, it was never the replenishment part that kept your own mana going forever. You'll barely notice the difference. What's more interesting is the reduced cooldown on Fel Domination and Soul Shatter. Seems to me like pve damage will stay about the same but with more chances to shatter, and pvp will get a small but decent buff.

Glad they are finally making the Soul Shatter change. Though its kind of fun riding 120% threat all the time, its dangerous and not practical in some fights. The nerf to F&B does suck tho, I'd prefer not to make more of my dps output dependent on my pet.
