MMO-Champion’s Blue Tracker has reported a seemingly gamebreaking post regarding buffs, debuffs, and raid stacking:
With the release of upcoming content patch players will see [...]


l2pvp: Keybindings

This is the fourth post in a series of guides about PvP, which will hopefully help some of you newbies step outside your PvE bubble and tell you why mace stun sucks.

It’s the notorious topic, the eternal struggle between clickers and the rest (let’s call them pressers due to lack of terms). Many articles were [...]


Don’t Stash Your Arena Points

Seems Eyonix is always the bearer of both good and bad news.
The good news is, the pre-Wrath patch is announced. It’s similar to before the Burning Crusade launch, it will help smooth the transition and bring in a few new features approved by the Lich King himself:

New class spells and talents
Stormwind Harbor
Barbershops in capital cities
Zeppelin [...]


WoW Embarrassment

It may be considered “socially unacceptable” to tell your friends/familiy/co-workers that you’re an avid World of Warcraft player. The result of any of these people finding out about your dirty secret is embarrassment. Nevertheless, you do your best to hide it—telling lies, making excuses, misdirecting attention, etc.. However, sometimes, despite your best efforts, you slip [...]


Priests in WotLK: Shadow Tree

We Shadow Priests have it pretty good in the Burning Crusade. Casters love us for our ability to refill their mana during a raid, raid leaders love us for the DPS we put out, and if by chance we’re needed to provide a small bit of healing now and again, we can. That’s why we’re [...]


Warlock Glyphs

Finally we have a glimpse into the much anticipated warlock glyphs in Wrath, thanks to Mmo-champion & WoR. Wowinsider beat me to posting about this, but I’ll do it anyway since I want to add my thoughts, links and all that fancy stuff.

Glyph of Banish: Increases the duration of your Banish by 5 sec.

Useless in [...]


World of Randomness

I tend to write about one thing at a time, but sometimes there’s too little to be said about far too many things, so here’s a post with - can you guess - random stuff.

Warlock Tier 7 is leaked! You know the post I made awhile back with a video of Tier 7 - I [...]


This is why we can’t have nice things.

We Warlocks cannot have nice things for one reason only: everyone else is getting nice things. The recent train of Hunter and Mage changes has instilled jealousy in some members of the Warlock community, especially yours truly.
Allow me to clarify: when I say “nice things” I mean abilities that are both fun and practical (this [...]


Analyzing the Gladiators

Tyveris from ArenaJunkies.com recently posted a gladiator breakdown by class for arena seasons 1-3. The numbers are limited and only represent players registered on AJ forums, but it’s still a great sample and most likely not far from the true numbers.
It’s interesting to see a historical breakdown of all classes and their success in high [...]


Downranking Nerfed - What Does it Mean

You probably heard already downranking spells has been significantly changed in Wrath beta. If not, once you finish reading more about it here, you’re welcome to come back here and read my rant how this will affect warlocks, as well as other classes.
I’ll let others who are much better at math figure out how this [...]
