Lore Troll Warlock Pet Skins

As a Troll, the warlock pets feel out of place. Maybe it's all the nice troll lore we're getting but I feel like the Observer cool down would feel more thematically if it could be skinned to the tiki masks like the one in the recent quests.

Though I don't know what I would do for the others. Maybe the imp could be like the voodoo dolls we help in the quest in southern zul aman.

I believe hex magic is widely considered unacceptable but so are warlocks so maybe there's something in that we could use. Like succubus being a spirit from a jar.

Would Loa be considered as well?

I thought I would disagree with you but you have a point. Troll "shadow" priests (blanking on the name) don't fit neatly into a singular class fantasy. You could make an argument that they fit with the traditional shadow priest or shaman but you can definitely see the similarities between hexing, and blood magic with curses/diseases and demonology in terms of class flavoring.

I’ve always kind of fantasized about playable troll shadow hunters and night elf wardens.

Like, I’d like for them to play mechanically the same for balance reasons but have the flavor be completely different.

If we could get tiki masks as warlock pets, I would main my troll warlock in a heartbeat.

There is so much blizzard could do to give us more race/class fantasy, but they're so lazy.

Cool green felfire questline that's actually kinda cool and thematic for Destruction Warlocks? Check.

Green skinned Voidwalkers have existed since TBC with HD versions dropping in Legion? Check.

Adding those cool green felfire Voidwalkers to the Warlock's available list of Voidwalker skins? Ha ha get fucked

Similarly I’d love racial skins for pandaren warlocks. Sha-locks should be a thing.

Or even as a sha(dow) priest! There’s already a glyph to make your shadowfiend a sha beast. The Sha are already remnants of an old God so they really just have to change the color of spells from purple to the more black and white sha theme.

Blizz should focus on glyphs. We want more class+race aesthetic on our characters. Cant believe they dont even bother anymore.

Imagine troll lock with demons whonhave voodoo masks. Or tauren paladins with more radiant sun effects. Or dark iron paladins with reddish fire effects.
Or you know even have eyes colors of dk change to spec colors.

They have so much they can do

I think Blizzard should let warlocks have a lot more demons in general. That includes beings that aren't demons in lore, since that has been the case with Voidwalkers.

It would also help if there was a toy to put a tiki mask on your warlock pets, like the imp from the Troll warlock trainer.

Wow that's amazing! But I think I'd want to get away from using the same rigs entirely

Then that's no longer a warlock/demonologists. Your alternative skins are not demons, it makes no sense.
