Q u o t e:
Pro, now while your at it pls go and do same to BM hunter pets, its kinda same !%!%... They specialize for pet, ppl who had 600dps imp firebolts specialized in pets, but wait, they specialized in one single pet. Ofc hunters pet didnt do half of imps dmg, but they can stun, cant be CC'ed (obviuslly, not always) and can CC plus insane amount of HP unlike imp (insane amount of resistance in some cases to).


While wer at it, as it seems that you want (*giggle*) to fix things go fix following :
*1*Fire shield because it doesnt scale.
*2*Shard bags because they dont have long promised bonuses.
*3*Give destro locks some kind off escape spell (DC is everything but not escape spell, remove it for all I care) because they are now not even glass cannons, theyr just glass. Or if you want easy way out like always, just buff destro dmg, because its silly to see that freaking demo lock does more dmg then destro one.
*4*Fix voidwalker, I and everyone else know its a crap. No dps whatsoever and cant tank close to anything, oh well, he can, but every freaking 2 minutes.
*5*Replace melediction, its complete crap for a high end talent. Put whatever you want there, but be creative for a single time.
*6*Nerf demo spec dmg output but buff their survivability, thats what theyr supposed to do, to survive, not to nuke me for 2k with a shadowbolt while having succubus out.
*7*Replace imp lash of pain with something propper, that talent is useless and on top of that doesnt belong to destro tree at all.


Waiting for useless whine now, go ahead who ever wants (especially certain female lock who doesnt have a clue whats he saying ever).
With all this said though Ill have to agree that imps dmg (if properlly speced) was too high, not by much tho, but completely disabling imps scaling was so, so wrong, no matter youll fix it in god knows which next patch.

Q u o t e:
We have implemented a hotfix that temporarily removes the Warlock Imp’s spell damage coefficient as it was performing far in excess of our intention. This will remove any spell damage bonuses from improving the Imp’s attacks.

We are currently on schedule to be implementing the correct values with the next patch. While we are able to effectively block the spell damage bonus with a hotfix it will require a client side patch to input the intended spell damage bonus the Imp is receiving.

Q u o t e:
At this time, we can't change the mechanics to support a reduction to a 1 second cast time, so the talented reduction was changed from .5 seconds per point, to .25 seconds per point. So, at the least, the second talent point has an effect, rather than doing almost nothing at all. Yes, it is something of a workaround fix, but we're limited in our options to make the talent work as originally designed.

Q u o t e:
Imps still firebolt me for 350 Fire Damage, thereby effectively out-dpsing me.

Q u o t e:
The spell damage coefficients have been reapplied to the imp, but they are obviously lower than before.

In regard to the improved firebolt, this was a design change that was backlogged for a while because of the nature of the casting time.

This talent has not been working correctly for a long time for a basic reason. The game simply doesn't recognise the ability to reduce this casting time below 1.5 seconds. It's a tech limitation that imposes a barrier at 1.5 second cast time. The talent was originally coded to reduce casting to less than 1.5 seconds and the game basically gets confused, which is why the first point worked, but the second point didn't apply the appropriate reduction.

Q u o t e:


Hmm... so why not just make it a one point talent instead of making it twice as expensive?
