Yet Another Warlock Nerf

The good, the bad and the ugly, patch 3.1 notes are up! The very patch we’ve been waiting for the past several months is about to bring a few changes to our beloved class. As always, it’s prone to change and I wish I could say we’ll be here to tell you all about it, [...]

The Public Test Realm patch notes have been updated with the latest additions and bugfixes. Warlocks didn’t receive many changes except for a few minor bugfixes, and the long-awaited addition of snare-removal on Demonic Circle. Demon Armor and Demon Skin: Armor increased by approximately 120%. Demonic Circle: The teleport now clears all snare effects. As [...]

Thank the Earth Mother for mmo-champion! The long awaited bucket-set, from now on known as Tier 8 is finally unveiled. My impressions? We certainly look better than the other classes. I approve!

Not as big as the last post, but here’s a couple of new buffs for Demonology. Nothing fancy but still welcome! Master Conjuror Master Conjuror - now increases the combat ratings gained from your conjured Firestone and Spellstone by 15/30%. What it means is our Firestone will get +0.3% direct damage and  + ~0.47% spell crit chance, while [...]

I highly recommend reading the full test realm patch notes since there’s a few cool non-warlock changes (no more racial mount restrictions, a few dozen new graveyards in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms, etc.). If you’re only looking for warlock changes, you can find them below: Affliction Drain Mana now Transfers 3% of target’s maximum mana every 1 sec [...]

Seems like ages since we reported some good news concerning warlocks. Soul Shards (src) The first one is related to the notorious Soul Shard mechanic which we discussed previously. The change will go live in the next patch (the one before 3.1 Ulduar content patch). When a warlock casts Ritual of Summoning, instead of creating a portal, they [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Looks like yesterday’s 2.4.3 patch notes were missing a few interesting additions, worthy of an update. The following gems are now available for purchase for 800 arena points each: Gleaming Ornate Dawnstone Smooth Ornate Dawnstone Bold Ornate Ruby Runed Ornate Ruby Inscribed Ornate Topaz Potent Ornate Topaz Whether they will be linked to the ones purchasable for honor points currently on live realms [...]
