Yet Another Warlock Nerf

We’re currently planning to end the third Arena season and begin Arena Season 4 on June 24, 2008, or June 25th for those in EU.

Many players think the new sets look bad, but I kinda like it. Hunter’s really look like clowns though, but that’s what they always look like after trying to kill me. What I hate is the fact they are basically three sets which are just recolored a bit, and the lack of imagination is just [...]

Proximo is an arena unit frame which will display your enemies health and mana bars, allow you to target them, and a number of additional goodies. If you missed my review of Proximo, I suggest you do it now. It’s recently been updated to include some new features: race icons, buff & debuff tracking (I still [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##Afflicted is a PvP timer mod, which shows you enemy silences, interrupts and buffs in a convenient way. Although the name of this mod might suggest it’s for warlocks, rest assured it’s not. You can open the configuration window (image below) by typing /afflicted ui, and change where and how you want it to be displayed. Afflicted [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##Or so they say. The ez-mode SL/SL spec is, despite all nerfs, still the most popular build for PvP warlocks. There’s not much room for having fun in arenas - you either play seriously or stick to PvE, so it’s a real gem to find warlocks who manage to achieve high ratings with non-demonology spec. While affliction still [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##I read the post over at PvP Source yesterday, about Vindicator’s Dragonhide Bracers being better than Vindicator Leather Bracers, and it just so happens I bought my Vengeful Gladiator’s Felweave Cowl yesterday also and noticed a similar thing. So here’s the problem. Vengeful Gladiator’s Dreadweave Hood Vengeful Gladiator’s Felweave Cowl Normally, destro items (Felweave, with crit chance) have less [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##PvP Source released a cool new toy today, called Arena Matrix. It’s pretty low on info right now but it should soon be full of great tips and guides on how to beat your opponents easier. Arena Matrix has (or will have) info about 1v1 duels, but also arena setups: 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5. It will be interesting [...]

Proximo is an enemy unit frame specifically designed for arenas. It will show your enemies when you or your other team members mouseover them, so you can see who you’re fighting against as soon as the match starts. The frame will show only when you enter an arena so you don’t have to worry about it [...]

Warlocks have a lot of tricks, and while they might not always require much skill to play (talking about SL/SL mostly), there’s always things which separate skilled players over casual ones. Perhaps you know all of this already, perhaps you don’t. But it’s always good to have an open mind and a few uncommon tactics [...]
