Explain 7.1 Warlock talent swap plz

Fappy	wysłany: 8 lat temu Literally no blue responses to the topic on the PTR forums (in fact there are no blue responses to a single post on that forum so I don't know if it's actually being read.) Anyway, they are swapping Demon Skin with Demonic Circle for warlocks in 7.1. This is the complete opposite of "doubling down on warlocks strength of being a tanky caster"...it seems to maybe be aimed at forcing us to pick up more mobility and sacrifice some of our tankiness. But I have no idea. There has been literally no developer feedback or explanation for the change. No warlocks were asking for this change. Every warlock post, including on the PTR forum has been against this change. All I'm looking for is a why. Personally I really dislike the change because I'm probably going to be forced off of taking burning rush which is one of my favorite talents :(
Ornyx	wysłany: 8 lat temu Got some answers from the development team on this. The aim and ultimate goal of the swap is to create competition in the talent rows, with a secondary intent of adjusting tankiness and mobility overall. With this change (taking tuning into account), there should now be more interesting choices in some rows, instead of the usual feel of "mandatory-ness" that we've seen in this past cycle. Demon Skin previously dwarfed its competition in nearly ever situation, and its combination with Dark Pact offered too much survivability. With Demonic Circle, we heard the broad feedback about how it was missed when players had to opt-out of taking it because of better picks in its row. Now that it's lined up against more equally-powered and niche talents, we believe Demonic Circle will see more use overall. Hope this answers some of your questions - I'm here for feedback and discussion on this. :)

I have some questions out to the dev team for Outlaws, but let's leave the Warlocks to their threads, yes? 1300* btw. Below poster, see above.
