permanent metamorphosis? this is gonna be awesome! though, the damage bonus is reduced and the armor bonus removed completely, I dont see any real bad news on this.

Mists of Pandaria Beta - Patch 15589

Metamorphosis
0 Demonic Fury
Instant 10 sec cooldown

You transform into a Demon, increasing damage dealt by 10.00%, disables the use of your damage over time spells but allows the use of powerful demonic abilities.

Designer Note:
Demonology's DPS rotation is being adjusted. In the end it will do just as much as Affliction/Destro. Don't panic.

This makes me want to roll a lock so bad. Mainly this and this alone.

Mists of Pandaria - Beta Build 15668
Designer Notes:
Yes, Demonology is mega OP. Will fix.

For the record I'm leaving the spell description as it is on the beta:

Metamorphosis
0 Demonic Fury, plus 6 per second
10 sec cooldown
Temporarily transform into a demon, increasing damage dealt by 10.00%.

Demon form consumes Demonic Fury and prevents the use of Corruption and Hand of Gul'dan.

Designer Notes:
Yes, Demonology is mega OP. Will fix.

Demonolgy used to be really boring to level up because you did not get Metamorphosis until level 69, now you get it at level 10! and it has only a 10 second cooldown, being only really limited by your resources not by your cooldown.

It is very similar now to a toggle ability like a Combat rogue's Blade Flurry. you switch it on and off through out combat.

Comment by Moethetroll

Anyone have data on what the uptime of this buff should be? Seems like an interesting, new playstyle so far, but I'm seeing rough estimates of about half uptime personally. Not bad, and when soloing you can start in demon form before each fight!

Edit: I ask this because surely the rotation would allow for certain amounts of Demonic Fury over given time, and that number being a set number

While in meta, do you speak in Demonic tongue?

Okay so what are all of the animations that Metamorphosis(Demon form) are capable of...

I know the casting animation and /talk but are there any other?

I know there use to be /kneel but for some reason that doesn't work anymore.

caterpillars cast this to become buttflies.

I just drained all the awesome out of this spell
Enjoy

Comment by Resonae

Best used when those pesky orcs are slightly more prepared than you at first thought they were.

Comment by makitango

Be aware that quests like It's Hammer Time cause you to generate a lot of Demonic Fury, while hitting objects for an unknown amount of damage, although this is quite trivial and off-combat.

Comment by Jazzria

If I'm reading this right, you collect ~~rings~~ -ahem- I mean Demonic Fury, so you can transform into ~~Super Sonic~~ I mean you Metamorphosis into Super Demon. Meanwhile your Demonic Fury lowers over time. Or am I horribly, horribly wrong?

Comment by TheDancingTree

Fun fact: While you may seemingly grow taller by entering this form, it's only an illusion. Your actual size is still that of your playable race.

For example: My Gnome Warlock is so small, he has to swim in a puddle. After getting out of the water and using Metamorphosis, he looks tall enough to stand in the water and not have to float, like a Human or Night Elf could. His size hasn't actually changed, however, so he still has to swim in the puddle even as a demon.

Comment by jonatan666

is some model error on this model on demon right hand is totaly deformed maybe next patch fix it? also missing some emote commands also if mage use illusion and make clones and this clones attack target they make demon voice but normal metamorphosis doesnt have voice ...pretty nice and usefull form but still full of errors :-(
