Let's face it, players dive into the Demonology tree just for survivability. With the loss of SL/SL, the best way to get some measure of protection against the banes of our class is to get the half-baked Metamorphosis (here we go). I hate Metamorphosis. It epitomizes exactly what's wrong with the Demonology tree right now.
The 51-point talent is a half-baked ability that helps us escape the crunch of melee, as well as gives us a massive armor boost -- it's excellent for PvP. In fact, aside from the 20% damage boost, it feels very much like a PvP talent. So... why on earth do we get Challenging Howl? Exactly when will we need to AoE tank? Challenging Howl is so narrowly useful that I feel like it's a complete waste of an ability. We certainly don't ever want to use it in a raid, 600% armor notwithstanding. Then there's Demon Charge, which is an awesome stun, but the classes we have trouble with and want to stun are the classes we want to get away from.
I don't know why I would want to charge towards a Rogue, a Warrior, or -- demons forbid -- a Retribution Paladin. What am I supposed to do when I get to them? Shadow Cleave? Why? So they can unleash Kiling Spree, Bladestorm, or Divine Storm on my demon ass, probably. In PvE, I'm not about to charge a boss and start whacking away at him, am I? The best ability as a demon is Immolation Aura, which deals excellent damage but again -- and this really boggles me -- I need to be in melee range for it to work. Metamorphosis transforms us from a ranged class to a melee class for 30 seconds.
It's a complete paradigm shift that's unnecessary and clumsy. The only great part of this spell for PvE is the 20% bonus to damage, which we can work into our DPS cycle at least once per fight. One workable use is to sacrifice either the Succubus or the Imp for the duration of Metamorphosis for all-out damage. Still, when we do this, we won't be using any of the abilities as a demon! When we've sacrificed our pet and start spamming Shadow Bolts and cycle through our spells, we won't be touching any of the unique demon abilities because it will drop our DPS significantly.
I'm upset about this talent because I seriously can't figure it out. It had the potential to be one of the coolest spells in the game, but instead it's just confusing. If you guys manage to use this successfully in raids, or even PvP against melee classes, feel free to discuss in the comments below. Furthermore, there are no other active ways to increase our pet's crit rating other than to invest points in Improved Demonic Tactics. Why isn't there a crit version of Sporeling Snack or Kibler's Bits? With full Demonic Empathy and Demonic Pact, we want to have our pet crit scale somehow.
We want the Demonic Pact buff to be competitive other spell buffs with which it won't stack. The Demonology tree feels a little wanting to me right now, and I'm willing to place it on the possibility that I probably just need to learn2play. I want to try out Demonology some more but it hasn't been as fulfilling for me in Patch 3.0.2 as Affliction has. In the next Blood Pact, we'll take a look at Destruction, Warlock Glyphs, and other niggling things.
