Warcraft Outsiders

We got mentioned on the latest Warcraft Outsiders episode, so I thought it would be nice to return the favor. I found out about the WO podcast about a week ago when they had Mike Schramm as a guest, and I must admit it was a really amusing show. The latest one is [...]

What it means to be a Warlock

What exactly does it mean to be a warlock? Why are we evil, why we do cackle like maniacs and do we really persue world domination?

Warlock Glyph’s… so which ones should I take?

As you may or may not know, coming in WotLK will be a new mechanic called glyphs.  Glyphs are like enchants, but they modify how a spell either behaves or looks. For the moment, all players are allowed to equip 6 glyphs, 3 minor and 3 major. At this stage in the Beta process, a [...]

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. [...]

Boosting professions

If you’re like me, you’ve had every profession this game has to offer at one point or another. Personally, my main has had more professions than I can even remember.  I started out a Miner/Engineer, then changed to Mining/Enchanting.

(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 [...]

5 Things You Don’t Know About Arenas

Ok so maybe you do know it. These aren’t some secrets or anything, but I did pick them up along the way, so I thought it might be useful to someone out there who doesn’t have much arena experience. It won’t increase your ratings, but maybe you’ll win a match every now and then. Who [...]

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 [...]

WoW Embarrassment

It may be considered “socially unacceptable” to tell your friends/familiy/co-workers that you’re an avid World of Warcraft player. The result of any of these people finding out about your dirty secret is embarrassment. Nevertheless, you do your best to hide it—telling lies, making excuses, misdirecting attention, etc.. However, sometimes, despite your best efforts, you slip [...]
