Most warlocks spend so much time getting free wins in arenas through the RNG aspect of fear that they never have any time to sit down and think about glyph selection. Thankfully, my fellow fear spamming face-rollers, help has arrived. It’s time to analyze optimal glyph selection for PVP. Let’s start by taking a quick [...]

I got an email today telling me I should go check out this Death Knight strategy guide. Frankly, I thought it will be horrible and useless, but it’s actually quite a nice surprise. It’s not yet finished, but you can download this 18 page file for free for a preview and see yourself what it’s [...]

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 [...]
