Yet Another Warlock Nerf

I know it’s been a while, folks, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to discuss something that’s going to ruin the game for me, so I decided to step forward and rant…and damn does it feel good. In light of the recent PTR, Affliction has been gutted roadkill. Admittedly, I saw it coming. I have [...]

Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted, folks. I’ve been stunlocked by finals, and my trinket was in the bank. I’ve reached level 80 some time ago. I leveled ridiculously fast because I was anxious for Demonic Circle. I was actually one of the first 80s on my server (I’m now on Dentarg. Free transfers!). [...]

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 Northrend. Some of them fun, others obnoxious, and some downright amazing. The Bad TOO MANY PEOPLE IN NORTHREND - This leads to absurd mob-camping, ganking, competition. This is especially bad for Warlocks whose [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

(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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
