Yet Another Warlock Nerf

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 [...]

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 [...]

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!

Read this post first for a better overview of the issues with the Soul Shards, then come back here. According to Ghostcrawler Blizzard is actually working on several solutions related to Soul Shard mechanic, so it’s not (just) a whine post but rather a few suggestions I found and came up with. There’s actually a few [...]

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 [...]

Had to reuse the image again since it so damn fits what you are about to read. I had a little break the last few days after the hosting fiasco, but it’s time for another useless and non-constructive post. Since many of you asked for it, I’ll try to review the current state of warlocks, [...]

(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 [...]
