Priests in WotLK: Shadow Tree

We Shadow Priests have it pretty good in the Burning Crusade. Casters love us for our ability to refill their mana during a raid, raid leaders love us for the DPS we put out, and if by chance we’re needed to provide a small bit of healing now and again, we can. That’s why we’re [...]


Warlock Glyphs

Finally we have a glimpse into the much anticipated warlock glyphs in Wrath, thanks to Mmo-champion & WoR. Wowinsider beat me to posting about this, but I’ll do it anyway since I want to add my thoughts, links and all that fancy stuff.

Glyph of Banish: Increases the duration of your Banish by 5 sec.

Useless in [...]


This is why we can’t have nice things.

We Warlocks cannot have nice things for one reason only: everyone else is getting nice things. The recent train of Hunter and Mage changes has instilled jealousy in some members of the Warlock community, especially yours truly.
Allow me to clarify: when I say “nice things” I mean abilities that are both fun and practical (this [...]


Downranking Nerfed - What Does it Mean

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 [...]


Spellstone and Firestone to Get Some (Much Needed) Love?

Recently, Wowhead added two new types of firestone and spellstone as per beta files:

What this means for Warlocks:
First and foremost, the devs are looking at our currently useless spells (took them long enough). I seriously wonder how useless talents/spells sit on the back burner for many classes. Does Blizzard not want a well-polished game? [...]


Tailoring in WotLK

If you’re like me, you’ve had every profession this game has to offer at one point or another. Personally, my main has had more professions than I can even remember. I started out a Miner/Engineer, then changed to Mining/Enchanting. Then I tried Alchemy and Herbalism, then back to Mining again. I definitely hopped around. I [...]


Spell Pushback Gone?

After the recent heated debate about spell pushback on WI and Wrath forums, it seems the change got pushed through. I was going to post my thoughts about that too but there’s been too much negative rant here lately (do you know how hard it is not to flame comments like this one?).
The latest beta [...]


Demonic Circle - Will it Really Help?

Demonic Circle is one of the new warlock abilities in WotLK. Many players already think of it as the warlock’s version of Blink, and most of them are right - but will it indeed be as useful as Blink?

Basically, it enables you to mark a location and then leap to the spot once every thirty [...]
