There is like a half a second delay to conflagrate after applying immolate to a target and it should not be that way.
The WOTLK prepatch on wow classic confirms this. You can see warlocks on wotlk classic instantly applying conflagrate after immolate without the weird delay..
The way conflagrate is working on warmane is not the intended Blizzlike way and it should be fixed.

Conflagrate here has an invisible missile (the delay gets shorter the closer you are to your target). Do you have any video of immediate conflagrate in wrath classic?
You do realise that current Classic is using different engine, right? Current retail footage can not be considered as evidence due to differences in games. Only old, original videos. What supports it is that you won't be able to play on private servers using official client when 3.3.5a will hit.
You can go and learn about spell batching and all other "tweaks" that Blizz implemented in their "no changes" version of game that constantly changes and deviates from origins...
I'm not a warlock expert, but I agree with Persivaln.
Retail WotLK =/= Classic WotLK
In the old 3.3.5 client, there's spell batching. In the 3.4 Classic one, it's removed. Other interactions, which have been present in the past and there's actual evidence for that in the form of logs and videos, have also been changed in Classic (*cough* GotW having a 90%+ chance to proc Clearcasting in a 25-man raid *cough*).

I'm not discouraring anyone from making bug reports, but just because something is different on Classic, it doesn't mean that it should be implemented on warmane.An example for spell batching in the form of a delayed 5% melee crit:

Thank you for taking your time in writing this post.
I won't say anything further because I have little to no experience as a caster, and I haven't read any articles in Elitist Jerks regarding RDPS' performance pve-wise back in the old days. That said, I still think this is caused by the old client and if you want to prove that the delay is "not blizzlike", then my advice would be to find videos or logs from official retail WotLK. Classic WotLK should serve as a model only if there's no sufficient data to prove how a certain mechanic used to function back in the old days.
Hellow, I'm testing dps as warlock demonology:
Felguard +5% all damage
Felhunter only damage reduction
Succubus +5% damage and crit shadow spell (Shadow bolt, Corruption)
Imp +5% damage and crit fire spell (Incinerate, Immolate)
It seems like buff from Imp pet is not working properly, damage and crit from incinerate is same or less like using felhunter pet.
Felhunter ---- Shadowbolt AVG 4993 AVG CRIT 9736 Chance 24,8%
Incinerate AVG 4680 AVG CRIT 9336 Chance 33,9%
Hi, have a lvl 34 warlock and already have the Voidwalker, Succubus and of course the Imp.
I started the chain quests to get the Felhunter, but the NPC didn´t give me the last quest.
The quests are
1.- Seeking Strahad
2.- Tome of the cabal
3.- Tome of the cabal
4.- Tome of the cabal
5.- The binding
I already finish the first 4 quests but the last quest is missing
I send a ticket in game but haven´t receive any answer yet. Hope you can help me
I have the same issue, there is no last quest for felhunter. I have finished 4.- Tome of the cabal quests, and NPC does not give the last one "The binding"
Hello everyone, I am a novice. I would like to ask some questions. I have been upgrading recently. Yesterday, I wanted to do a professional task. When I reached the final step of summoning the Helldog task, the task could not be taken, and the NPC did not display any tasks that could be continued. What can I do? Does any kind-hearted person know what the situation is?
