Playing arena throughout TBC was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a video game. And despite not agreeing with many of the changes that Blizzard has [...]

The number of the week is 3
I was originally going to write a long, angry rant about the state of warlocks (pet resilience change did nothing, etc). I’ve changed my mind, however. One of the biggest changes in the upcoming season is the change to[...]
Devs ask for Warlock QQuestions
The WoW developers are posting a thread on several of the class forums asking for concerns from the community. They even posted one of these threads on the warlock forum (probably because of our insanely OP performance[...]
P.E.T.S. - Pathetically Easy Targets for Slaughter
Warlock pet survivability is currently laughably low. Due to this significant weakness it is more important than ever that you properly manage your pet in arena matches. When playing Warlock/Healer, especially, knowing w[...]

12 Achievements Every Self-Respecting Warlock Must Complete
We already discussed the various ways warlocks can be evil. It's in our nature, and even those of us who aren't on RP servers must crave for world domination. There are many of us out there who pride themselves in spread[...]

Decisions, decisions – The 3.1 Warlockian Dilemma
So 3.1 is here and there are a whole slew of incredibly important changes to the warlock class. Let’s review the big three: 1) You can no longer reliably keep fear up on a target that is DOTed. 2) You are no longer allowed to use immolate on targets with UA. 3) Affliction has lower single target and multi-target damage.
