Yet Another Warlock Nerf

I know it’s been a while, folks, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to discuss something that’s going to ruin the game for me, so I decided to step forward and rant…and damn does it feel good. In light of the recent PTR, Affliction has been gutted roadkill. Admittedly, I saw it coming. I have [...]

Guess what, Hornstradamus was right: one nerf down, six to go! One of the best spells in our spellbook no longer benefits from the Contagion talent. However, Fear is not the only spell which got nerfed: Polymorph, Hex, Viper Sting, Frost Nova, Chains of Ice, and even rogue poisons. Basically, any class talents which [...]

Hornstradamus’ predictions for the year 2009 (year of the melee on Azerothian calendar): warlock nerfs.  We all know it’s coming, even tho we’re at the bottom of the food chain at the moment. 7. Drain spells through pillars Will most certainly be removed. Sure, perhaps it doesn’t make sense to drain players health and mana through [...]

This is a guest post submitted by Moldru, a fellow warlock who like many of us is frustrated with the grim state we are in. If you want your voice heard, don’t forget to check out the Submit a post feature! Be sure to post a comment below, perhaps we can cheer him up by [...]

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 [...]

Curse of Shadows: This spell has been removed - what the hell? Read on!

The latest 2.3.2 news surprised me today. I didn’t expect a rogue nerf at least till 2.4, but AR/Prep was more ez-mode than SL/SL. * Ambush: The damage multiplier on this ability has been increased from 250% to 275%. * Hemorrhage: This ability now correctly does additional damage when its debuff has already been applied. * Preparation now [...]

Mad Alchemist’s Potion It seems this new potion has a 95% chance to proc an additional elixir effect, and it’s class dependant - meaning you will get buffs depending on your class, so casters should get Elixir of Draenic Wisdom or similar, and melee classes should get Elixir of Mastery or Major Agility. Good news. But [...]

Mmo-champion brings us the news of the latest changes on public test realms. These are not as bad as last ones, but (surprise!) rogues got a huge buff again! Cheat Death (Subtlety) chance to trigger increased to 33/66/100% and now also causes the rogue to take 90% less damage for 3 seconds when the effect triggers. [...]

I’ve been browsing the forums a few days ago and noticed this topic, listing all the changes affecting Warlocks. I’ve checked old patch notes myself and ever found a few missing, so I decided to update this list. Patch 1.1 Howl of Terror: Increased the chance of breaking early. Fear: Increased the chance of breaking early. Patch 1.02 Warlocks can [...]
