So you would rather just have people say your idea sucks rather than use logic and reason to point out its flaws?
What the hell do they teach kids in school these days...

Bloodtom,
Sure, these guys munch on out of left field ideas like sharks in a pool full of baby gnomes, but I think you knew that already. Guess it's because they love the game so much ;)
On topic, I'm thinking the idea (while certainly not new in a general sense) would be both unuseful and uninteresting in pve. Pvp-wise it may be a different story. You want meta to be a strategy ability instead of an improvement one, and that's an interesting thought. What would have to be done then is to keep the armor buff while scaling down all damage done at a balanced level, if that's at all doable. No abilities from other talent trees would disappear. Its sole use however, would be staying alive towards the end of fights especially in arena where mostly other people's damage would then finish off the foes. Or at any point in the fight getting away from heavy melee bashing, arena as well as BG. A setup that would be just as you mention similar to druid bear form. The permanence of the form would then avoid the issue of an untimely use of the cooldown.
The big problem with this variant is that demonology locks prob dont wanna lose the offensive power of the meta of today, and having two separate metamorphosises seems pretty overkill, don't you think?

I don't see how a game can be SO important to someone that they have to go into great stress and detail about why my idea stunk. It's mind boggling. A simple "Nah, that don't sound cool" would have sufficed.
Now you see? This is the kinda response I wanted from someone who didn't agree. A well thought out one that I can understand.
A gear set. Demon Form Raiment. The set resembles Metamorphosis (sans the wings and offering detail torwards the Warlock's own body) and allows access to Metamorphosis abilities outside of the spell, although without the impressive power buff. I dunno, that one admittedly sounds kinda iffy but I had it and I threw it out for fun. x3
nah, that doesn't sound cool.

Is World of Warcraft some peoples' way of life or something? I post a few little ideas and they pop up acting like I am threatenning to bring all they have ever lived for to ruin. >_O
People... it was -JUST- an idea. If you didn't like it, SURELY you could have given a more... I don't know... pleasant response? It's just a game, nothing to get offensive about. >_o
Exaggeration much? I wasn't QQing about how "you are threatening to bring all I have ever lived for to ruin", I was just pummeling your idea to the ground.
And I wasn't offensive. If I had gone offensive mode (like some people on the druid forums ^_^), I'd have called you a tard and told you to gtfo. But I didn't. See? ;-)
Edit: I found your
post on the general forums
a very ... entertaining read ^_^
I mean, if it's just a buff, why even HAVE metamorphosis? Wouldn't it be more useful to be able to just use Immolation Aura in human form? Maybe get a shield spell for the armor/damage increase? I just preferred it when transformations and buffs were two different things - and now WoW is trying to make it so they are one in the same, taking some of the fun out of turning into a monster.
So, you want to turn into an angry demon, without it increasing your stuff?
... ok?
I don't see how changing to a form that increases your damage is bad.

No.
What? I can hardly repeat what asakawa said, now can I? Creativity ftw!

I aint so much offended as dumbfounded. I don't see how a game can be SO important to someone that they have to go into great stress and detail about why my idea stunk. It's mind boggling. A simple "Nah, that don't sound cool" would have sufficed.
It's not that the game is so important. Its that because this is an MMO, most of the time your performance directly impacts 9 to 24 other people (outside of PVP). If your shooting yourself in the foot by using an inferior spec, you're not only hurting yourself, but two dozen others.
We're trying to stop you from making the game less fun for other people, which I think is why such suggestions are met with such force.

I bet they even tried during development to make meta a flat-out form like you suggested.
of course i can't know for sure but i don't think it was ever on the table as a permanent form.
they've always been very clear that druids are the ones with forms. that's what
they
do and some semblance of uniqueness needs to be maintained. Spriests are probably as much of a step into that territory as they were ever comfortable with going.
