Some Notes on Northrend
Seems you’re new here! If you like this site and don’t want to refresh it like a madman, consider subscribing to the RSS feed to get updates delivered to you. Learn more…I’ve taken the liberty (and some time from leveling) of composing a list of things of note I’ve discovered in my 4 levels in [...]
I’m calling it now
With the expansion just days away, I’ve been wondering what aspect of the Warlock class will be nerfed when things top off at level 80. So, I’ve concluded: they’re going to nerf Demonic Circle. Yes, you heard correctly. They are going to nerf Demonic Circle.
As of now, beta testers have questioned Demonic Circle’s usefulness in [...]
Surviving 3.0: Destruction PvP
Horns beat me to a nice, comprehensive post about 3.0. Yes, my Warlock brothers, it is as he says. However, in spite of the patch, I’ve found a way to survive the gimpage—Destruction PvP.
In the days before BC and resilience, Destruction was fantastic in PvP. Crits were plentiful, Shadowburn and Conflagrate scaled excellently, pets weren’t [...]
Things to do before I quit WoW
We’ve seen it all before. It’s a craze—a new sensation. People are creating lists of things to do before they die. This comes from today’s generation’s observance of society’s elders’ leading boring, uneventful lives. I, however, dread the thought of my own mortality. Therefore, I’ve compiled a list of things to do before I kick [...]
Shine On You Crazy Pink Diamonds
(Props to my buddy Roger Waters for the title inspiration)
The debate has rage on for years: Soul Shards. What is their purpose? Why are they important? Why is it a pain in the ass to farm them? And so on.
Blizzard has stated that collecting souls fits with the Warlock lore. After all, what’s more evil [...]
I’m not feeling the magic (and I’m not alone)
As all diehard Warlocks know, the future of Warlocks in Wotlk is rather bleak. Our core class issues haven’t been addressed, and, with two months left, we wonder if they ever will be addressed. I, for one, am terrible disheartened as I am a loyal Warlock.
Since the days of Vanilla WoW, I’ve played a Warlock. [...]
(Nearly) Useless Warlock Talents
Last week, I ran down a list of 12 (nearly) useless Warlock spells. This week, I aim to tackle talents—my list has 30 21 of them. As a result, I’m not going to screenshot all 30 of them. I’m also pushing into Beta talents with the expansion 2 months away. So, without further hesitation, I [...]
(Nearly) Useless Warlock Spells
Useless abilities. We all have them. Sometimes we get them as we level up, sometimes we spend talent points on them. They plague our talent trees and our action bars. We’ve asked nicely for fixes many times, and we wonder if Blizzard even listens.
I’m going to catalog a list of inherently useless or otherwise weak [...]
I can beat Rogues.
In world of endless stunlocks, ruthless combos, and near-infinite escape mechanisms, Warlocks have found difficulty in defeating Rogues. I, however, maintain that I can defeat Rogues. Here is my secret:
I know there are a fair number of Tailors out there who never bothered to change professions from early BC when FSW was absurdly good (and [...]
Nobody Panic (Not yet, at least)
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 a change in the way we allow buffs and debuffs to stack exclusively in a raid. For the most part, what this change means is that many buffs and debuffs that [...]
