Goodbye WoW

As you have hopefully noticed, I haven’t been posting very much recently. That’s because I finally bit the bullet and decided to take a break from WoW. Playing arena throughout TBC was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a video game. And despite not agreeing with many of the changes that Blizzard has [...]

The number of the week is 3

I was originally going to write a long, angry rant about the state of warlocks (pet resilience change did nothing, etc). I’ve changed my mind, however. One of the biggest changes in the upcoming season is the change to the 2v2 bracket (no longer awards titles, weapons, or shoulders). Let’s talk about that. So with the 2v2 [...]

Devs ask for Warlock QQuestions

The WoW developers are posting a thread on several of the class forums asking for concerns from the community. They even posted one of these threads on the warlock forum (probably because of our insanely OP performance in PVP)! I suggest you all head over there right now and voice your opinion. Just in case you [...]

P.E.T.S. - Pathetically Easy Targets for Slaughter

Warlock pet survivability is currently laughably low. Due to this significant weakness it is more important than ever that you properly manage your pet in arena matches. When playing Warlock/Healer, especially, knowing when to pull your pet back and when to send it in is a necessary skill for success. There are several comps that are [...]

Maximizing Warlock DPS Part 2: Not just face rolling

As many of you know, there is often the misconception that a warlock will sit down, bind all his keys to one particular spell, and then proceed to face roll the entire rest of the night. We've been accused of being an overpowered easy mode class that requires absolutely no skill to play. However, nothing can be further from the truth - have you actually TRIED face rolling? It hurts.

Should you buy Blizzard’s new line of foot warmers?

For 4 long & arduous moths, brave heroes have journeyed across the frozen wastes of northrend, seeking a thermostat for their epic flying mounts. Especially those decked out in armor of tissue paper, who desperately needs a warm pair of soles beneath their feet. Today, Sherry takes a look at Boots of Impetuous Ideals and Arcanic Tramplers and tells you where to get them.

Maximizing Warlock DPS - not just a numbers game

If you were to stop by most of the warlock communities, you'd be sure to find a variety of discussions on how to maximize your dps while raiding. There would be the usual suspects: What spec should I be, what rotation should I be using, and what gear should I be shooting for. These topics are all essential to consider however most of the time it's done in a vacuum. What happens when you're in a less than ideal situation?

I’d Tap That (Lifetap, the 4t7 bonus and you)

Blizzard said some time ago that each class should have unique things it can do. Class homogenisation has to some degree lessened this. Warlocks, however, still feel decidedly different. We still sacrifice our minions for our own gain, we still capture the souls of our fallen foes, and we still have Life Tap.
