I can see it happening that every team with a lock is going to be rushed with chain ccs and/or nuking of the lock simply to stop this gateway going up.

Unending Resolve
10.0% of base mana
Instant 3 min cooldown
The Warlock hardens his skin, reducing all damage taken by 50% and preventing his spells from being interrupted for 12 sec.

That should make it that much easier to get one up.

interupt is one mechanic though. there are still many many forms of ccs and lock-downs that can be used in this 12 seconds. guess we'll have to see.

is a shame as i thought it was kinda like a DK's portal but instead letting you drop a gate say in a raid or somewhere hearth back to a major city like Stormwind drop another gate and do what you need with in a time limit ofc like 10 minutes and then gate back same with party/raid members. how many times in a raid do we hearth back to a city to repair or make or grab stuff, loads would be a lot easier and quicker especially when solo questing in the middle of nowhere.
this would have been a lot more useful rather than the daft spell we got aka the teleport, why not just replace the teleport with this rather giving us a new spell that nobody is ever gonna use, unless to annoy.

ah well anyways cant expect much hehe tho on a good note the rest of the lock spells are really quite good..Harvest life is a good one

Anyone else noticed that demonic gateway seems to despawn when outranging ? something like 100y and its gone... really annoying. this could be a problem in some arenas and in rbgs aswell....

Known issue, it's because it's treated as a 'creature', like a totem rather than an 'object' like a Soulwell. If were an object anyone, including enemies, could use it. No fix for it in sight in the short term.

Hey Jess, why didnt you wave back when i saw you levelling!

Anywho, The portal has some nice features. Especially on some bosses with a lot of movement it can extremely usefull. Also it seems to reduce aggro when used.

Cool skil overal. I can just imagine in wsg, 1 person picks up the flag> warlock geartes a gateway and a portal. > drop flag for warlock> instant travel to the other side> Profit?

It's quite probable I was half asleep, entirely asleep, or just more focused on talking on vent to pay much attention to my chat log. I'd done a full days work, while suffering from a bad cold and frankly I'm amazed I stayed "awake" as long as I did :P

/wave to make up for it!

.. I can just imagine in wsg, 1 person picks up the flag> warlock geartes a gateway and a portal. > drop flag for warlock> instant travel to the other side> Profit?

1: The flag drops when a flagcarrier is using the portal.
2: The portal must be placed in Line Of Sight of the warlock.
3: Any hills (increasing the x-axis) will prevent the portal from being cast.

The spell is useless unless used in a duel where the warlock can cast it 30 seconds befor the duel begins.
