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?!

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…

Xzilend’s Keybindings Guide
Hello everyone, my name is Xzilend and I am one of the new bloggers to join the writing community here at Felfire, and I hope to use my experience of warlocking in the World of Warcraft to supply both interesting and useful content to the site. My main area of expertise in WoW revolves around demonology in both PVE and PVP content. As such, my articles will primarily cover demonology, but will also reach beyond the intricacies of the talent specialization and move into more general topics, such as the one I am presenting today. This is a guide to creating personalized keybindings for your characters in which I delve into the conflict between keybindings and clicking spells, and provide videos which act as a theoretical guide to the process of keybinding.

A Warlock’s Guide to the Ruby Sanctum
Hey everyone. My guild took a break from ICC progression to try out Ruby Sanctum, yay new content! Going through 50 heroic Lich King attempts every week is soul-crushing. We spent a night working out kinks in Heroic 25 RS, but ultimately decided to just kill him normal, given our shortened raid week due to the holiday weekend. We still have all 50 Lich King attempts, oh boy oh boy! Thankfully I was able to get lots of great footage to put together this quick video guide. Hope you find it useful.

Icecrown Citadel Raid Gear Guide
[Updated] So I realize this post is rather late, it’s been actually collecting dust in my written posts page and I decided to dust it off, give it the finishing touches it needed, and publish it for everyone. End game gearing can’t really be explained very simply, especially when you are into min/maxing and theory crafting. What I have done is taken a few known pointers for gearing your lock, and combined them with a comprehensive list of attainable gear from Icecrown Citadel. The list isn’t 100% complete, and if you know of a certain piece of gear that would work for this list, please add it to the comments and I will see that it’s added to the list
Enjoy.

A Warlock’s Guide to Storming the Citadel
Hey everyone. I received a lot of comments after my Saurfang Guide asking me questions about other encounters in Icecrown. There are lots of good guides out there to consult, but my goal with this guide series is to break down the fights to what you as a caster – and more specifically, a warlock – need to worry about. This first segment will focus on the first four bosses from Lord Marrowgar to a review of Deathbringer Saurfang.
