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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Spellstone and Firestone to Get Some (Much Needed) Love?
Recently, Wowhead added two new types of firestone and spellstone as per beta files:
What this means for Warlocks:
First and foremost, the devs are looking at our currently useless spells (took them long enough). I seriously wonder how useless talents/spells sit on the back burner for many classes. Does Blizzard not want a well-polished game? [...]
Spell Pushback Gone?
After the recent heated debate about spell pushback on WI and Wrath forums, it seems the change got pushed through. I was going to post my thoughts about that too but there’s been too much negative rant here lately (do you know how hard it is not to flame comments like this one?).
The latest beta [...]
New WotLK Money Sink Found
On the “not so surprising” news front… WoW Insider is reporting on two new rings that have been discovered during the Beta testing of the WotLK. Whats special about these rings is that they come with superior stats and the ability to teleport yourself to Dalaran. The only catch is that they cost 8000g a [...]
WotLK: Updated Class Changes

Druid Form Skins Incoming
You may not care if you’re not a druid, but watching the same old forms for years without any improvements is quite dull. We have some great looking item sets, yet we all look exactly the same while shapeshifted. I realize it would be nearly impossible to make items show in forms - that’s a [...]
WotLK Beta Patch Notes - Warlock
If you haven’t heard, Wrath Beta invitations are being sent, NDA is lifted, the forums are now online and patch notes are posted everywhere - now even here.
I linked some spells so it should be more clear if you’re not familiar with talent names. You’re welcome to ignore my comments.
Warlock
Aftermath (Destruction) - Now a 2-point [...]
New Hunter Pet Abilities in Wrath
I’m pretty excited about most of this stuff coming in about WotLK so I’m on a posting rampage. Thanks to Wotlkwiki, we now have a preview of new hunter pet skills, which if real are seriously sick.
- New line of pet spells called “Smack“. Equivalent to Claw except with different name.
- Tendom Rip (Rank 1) [...]
