Rewinding Warlock Changes
I nearly slept in way too late today due to the sheer darkness of my lair… Iv’e gotten really good at keeping the light out. I woke to my dismay however, learning that Blizzard intended to just string us along with false hope until cataclysm, where they plan on pulling the rug out from under us; I happen to like my rug! This build is full of surprises, and I am too drowsy to accurately comprehend them… so I’m sure I’ll be raging sometime later today. Check them out for yourself, and remember, you can send your Blizzard hate mail to: Blizzard Entertainment. P.O. Box 18979, Irvine, CA 92623. Be sure to imbue it with a nasty curse.

Legendaries Give Me Headset Hair!
Hello everyone! This post will be a hybrid post, featuring a rant about legendaries and an announcement for a project I have started recently!
Melee get all the fun! Shadowmourne… Deathbringers Will… where is the caster love? DPS casters haven’t had a legendary since Atiesh, but it could basically have not even existed, in regards to how many people were able to obtain it and not to mention how many classes it was available for. A full game and two expansions later, warlocks are still left on the wayside while melee add yet another package of unique weapons to their arsenal.

Cataclysm Beta – Warlock Patch Notes
Another patch was deployed on the Cataclysm beta servers this afternoon and it contains a plethora of class changes, including range extension updates for several classes. Soul Link is bugged in this patch, (As to say it is completely missing, though I feel it is due to it being changed to a trainable spell.) Demonic Aegis no longer grants SP, and fear’s cast time has been extended by .5 seconds. So far the changes look good, regardless of the first impression of a few nerfs.

Art Section Expanded!
Amongst other dark relics, I keep many objects of power hidden in my lair, away from prying eyes and sticky fingers. However, after much deliberation (mostly with my imp Yazjub, who insisted the picture of him made him look short) I decided it was time to stop hording my huge collection of warlock art and share it with all of you Locks out there. I have expanded my art page to included every piece of artwork I deemed worthy to uphold the warlock name. I even have them separated into categories for easy browsing. I hope all of you enjoy the collection, and if you have any ideas on it’s expansion or organization feel free to leave comments on any of the art pages. I plan on adding a “submit art button”, so stay tuned for that. We ride single file to hide our numbers…

Afflock School: The Nevermelting Corruption
Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Crit: an Afflock’s Tale
I have bad news for you.
Mages have a use.
Ever since the start of Wrath, Warlocks have been treated to the simply fantastic talent called Everlasting Affliction. This, combined with the equally rad Pandemic, means that in a standard “Stand-and-Deliver” fight, we should only need to cast Corruption once. While both talents have been changed substantially since release, the basic idea is that Corruption just… stays. But that raises some important questions, doesn’t it? How much spellpower does it have? How much crit? Since the Glyph of Quick Decay came into play, when does it calculate haste, and when does it lose it? And more importantly… why are there so many newly-minted 80 warlocks in Pit of Saron!? And why would we -ever- want to talk to a mage?!

Summoning Up Some Changes
As you know I’m sure, warlocks enjoy dark, secluded places to work on their evil plans of world domination, and mass mage genocide. This is exactly what I have been doing for the past few weeks (Or at least what I like to tell people I have been doing.) In short, without criting you with a wall of text, I have been really really busy. However, as difficult as it was, I found a short break in my maniacal plans to write a short article. This one is a recap of a few short conversations Ghostcrawler had on the official forums regarding future plans for Warlocks and their mechanics in Cataclysm, including one juicy bit of info.

Zerene’s Guide to Forte Xorcist
Hi folks, I’m Zerene and I too am a new blogger here at Felfire. I’m looking forward to rambling on in the coming months on all sorts of topics relating to warlockery. I’m primarily a PvE Raiding warlock, who splits time between Destruction and Affliction. Aphro’s got the Destruction side of the house pretty well taken care of, so I’ll be tending towards the crawling chaos of dots, drains, and the general malaise that Affliction can bring to the table.
But that’s not all! I’ll also be covering the latest news (as best I can) from within the Cataclysm beta – I recently got into the beta itself, and will be reporting from the front lines, as it were. (I’m on the Lost Isles server – feel free to look me up if you’re in too!)
Lastly, I’ll also be touching on some of the addons that make our game better. In the spirit of that, I thought I’d open by talking about what I consider to be the most vital addon…
