3.3 Ideas for updating aesthetics for locks.

So, with Cataclysm coming up and after sitting through all of Wrath being reminded of, while receiving some rather helpful, and life saving mechanics and changes, the aesthetics of our class has been somewhat loss.
While I hope that Soul Harvest has the same graphic that the 9 or 10 stack of Shadowmourne puts out, when Cataclysm is finally released. I do want to voice some other concerns.
Haunt's graphic could do for an update. While the spell itself is a direct damage type of spell, it'd be nice if the following graphic would be implemented. When the missile graphic lands on the target, the target is then following by a ghost or two, similar to shades we saw throughout Wrath in ICC, Halls of Reflection and Old Kingdom.

I also think that it'd be nice for demonology to get something with a little bit of a visual definition beyond their felguard and meta ability, as with destruction as well. In general it'd be nice to have some ideas put out about current spells we have, that could use a graphical update, that can be used to not only identify ourselves as a warlock, but also be like "Oh hey, it's that kind of warlock, maybe I want to pull back a bit." Sorta like with how Death Knights were with unholy, frost and blood, or frost and fire mages are.

I think that if our gear color would go along with what spec we are would be really cool Ex. green for demo purple for afflic and orange for destro.

3.3 Re: Ideas for updating aesthetics for locks.

Okay I have been thinking about fear lately.

Other than the fact that it has been nerfed a lot over the years, I have noticed that the grafic shown has nothing... Fear-ish.. i mean all it does is create some weird sound and something like a round face above the enemy feared... which is just not fearsome!

We need something more impressive... so I have been thinking that it would be great if they added a sound like a scream when the fear landed, something to make it scary and more fearsome, something to make you think "Now that is one awesome spell and i will be using it all the time!", not that we don't as it is but it is just stupid that a Spriest's psychic horror is more fearsome than our fear!

Just my thoughts

-Bill

Edit: If you have time, hit youtube and type in Avenged sevenfold - Scream, its a really good song and you only need to hear just the first 5 or 10 seconds of it to understand what i mean and then imagine a female warlock casting fear and that you can hear that scream when the fear lands (Goose-bumps!!! or whatever the are called)

Of course a male would need a man's scream, doh
