Yet Another Warlock Nerf

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

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.

I guess they weren’t lying when they said they were working on WotLK sets, so I’ll forget for the moment how awful most of S4 sets look like. There’s a video available here so you can check the sets live, and a few images on Wikidot so go check it out. Despite warlocks wearing what looks [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX## The new Season 4 items will have the below personal and team arena rating requirements: Shoulders: 2200 Weapon: 2050 Head: 1700 Chest: 1600 Legs: 1550 Gloves: none Off-hand: none In addition, some of the Season 4 quality items that will be purchasable with honor will also carry a personal and team arena rating requirement: Boots: 1700 Ring: 1650 Bracers: 1575 Belt: none Necklace: none Trinket: none No more 10 games [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##Partnered with Epic Weapons, Blizzard released a limited edition replica of Frostmourne, a sword wielded by Arthas in Warcraft III. The sword enabled him to defeat the wicked Dreadlord Mal’Ganis, but also cursed him so he became a Death Knight. But who cares anyway. If you want to read more lore check it out on wowinsider. The [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##That’s right, the old Life Tap is back. I’ll sound like an ass now but I expected it, nobody can hate warlocks that much. LT will surely see some changes in the future, but nothing as drastic like now. Hopefully the devs won’t put this crap back.

##NOLIGHTBOX## Finally! The patterns were already added to Shattered Sun rep vendors, and all that was missing were gems. These gems and recipes were for months a thorn in my jewelcrafter’s eye, and buying them from the auction house is painful even for my budget. I’m sure there’s a lot of guilds out there unhappy about this, [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##It looks like those fake 2.4 patch notes weren’t completely fake after all. Here’s the recent class changes from mmo-champion: Druid Lifebloom healing coefficient has been reduced. Many shapeshift form tooltips have been updated to be consistent with each other. Nurturing Instinct increases your healing spells by up to 50/100% of your Agility, and increases healing done to you [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##It seems warlock and hunter pets are currently not scaling with their master’s stats anymore. The only stats which they get are spell damage, intellect and armor, but no stamina or attack power. What this means, other than being the biggest warlock nerf ever, is that your Felhunter will have about 3000 health, which will make [...]

##NOLIGHTBOX##It doesn’t look like patch 2.4 will change much about class (im)balance, but there are some interesting changes so far. Looks like we’ll be doing the same thing again: farm reputation, Badges of Justice, and honor. Here’s what awaits those of us on the frontlines. New PvP cloaks, this time with spell haste: Battlemaster’s Alacrity is a new [...]
