Gearing Based on Talent Specialization

With 3.1 en route, raiders everywhere are looking to maximize their dps and get geared for the arduous challenge Ulduar is going to present. For a lot of warlocks, that may mean running Naxx, Eye of Eternity, and Obsidian Sanctum, and checking Altas Loot (in the days between save resets) for the sweetest looking gear. [...]

Patch 3.0.8 Notes Update

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 [...]

Guest Post: Raiding Warlocks Are Unwanted

This is a guest post submitted by Mekagojira, a fellow warlock who is looking for reasons why guilds like mages so much! If you want your thoughts published, you’re welcome to submit your own post! And be sure to post a comment below. Using Wowjutsu.com, a guild progression ranking site, I have looked at [...]

Shine On You Crazy Pink Diamonds

(Props to my buddy Roger Waters for the title inspiration) The debate has rage on for years: Soul Shards. What is their purpose? Why are they important? Why is it a pain in the ass to farm them? And so on. Blizzard has stated that collecting souls fits with the Warlock lore. After all, what’s more evil [...]

Choosing Professions in Wrath

Which profession to choose in Wrath of the Lich King: an overview of new recipes for all professions and how will they benefit your raid or arena.

Are Moonkins the New Mages?

Having decent moonkin gear myself (half restoration though, but still decent; if you really must know, 1050ish spell damage), I know we can pump out serious damage (6k+ Starfire crits in Karazhan is serious business). High threat is also an issue now, but Nature’s Reach will also reduce threat caused by balance spells by 30%. [...]

New Hunter Pet Abilities in Wrath

I’m pretty excited about most of this stuff coming in about WotLK so I’m on a posting rampage. Thanks to Wotlkwiki, we now have a preview of new hunter pet skills, which if real are seriously sick. - New line of pet spells called “Smack“. Equivalent to Claw except with different name. - Tendom Rip (Rank 1) [...]

PvP For Skills

Taurack has some excellent points in his why you should PvP post, which I really recommend reading. His main point is, even if you’re a dedicated raider, you should do battlegrounds from time to time, and for the most part I agree. The problem with 90% of PvPers is that they dont know how to PvE; they [...]

Buffing up for Botanica - Get a Priest

##NOLIGHTBOX## Doing pugs has its bright sides, you always learn something new. Like this for example. I was nicely surprised when my boomkin got this huge spell damage boost a few days ago when I went to Botanica. All it takes is one priest to Mind Control a mob named Bloodwarder Mender. There are several of them [...]

Sorry Mate, You Have to PvE

##NOLIGHTBOX##First, they added PvP cloaks which you can buy for 60 Badges of Justice (BoJ). Then there’s items like Hex Shrunken Head, Warglaives of Azzinoth, Berserkers Call and many more which are far better for PvP then some Shankers or Slicers. Tidewalker in SSC drops this ring which is pretty good actually; here’s one from [...]
