Description

When you learn this talent all demonic spells are learnt automatically and added to the Demonology tree of the spellbook. It's shapeshifting, like shadowform, and can't be dispelled.

While shapeshifted, the demon-form warlock is able to be banished. Demon-form is also susceptible to Exorcism and Turn Evil but is immune to enslave demon.

Warlocks can noticeably increase their already impressive melee damage output while in demon-form by taking advantage of the bonus melee strike fire damage provided by Firestones.

Utilization

Metamorphosis can be used for AoE Farming by picking up a bunch of Mobs an then using Immolation Aura and Shadow Cleave (especially useful when applying a Firestone to the weapon).

In PvP, it's only advisable when fighting in an one-on-one situation (primarily against Rogues), as in a brawl, a big, black and horned demon is the favourite target for everyone.

Of course, Metamorphosis can also be used as a flat damage boost for 30 seconds.

Inspiration

Metamorphosis is adapted from the iconic demon hunter ability of the same name, and is visually based on Illidan Stormrage's demon form.
