Talent tree 30/21/10 Best!

feeds@yuku.com (ethee) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:13:56 GMT

I found on the internet a talent tree that is just AMAZING i looked up the numbers and wow it is the Max DPS u can do imo, it is mostly afflic but it is really well done, look at it give it a try it really looks nice, i made my own which would b a little better for soloing, it is only a little diff and u may note the vw improve for when soloing, and that is the second website posted, note that this is for pve and raids, it is a very selfish talent tree and if geared high enough could blow...

New Firestone and Spellstone spells

feeds@yuku.com (Trodan warlock) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:59:42 GMT

Looks like those nearly useless items are getting an overhaul. Here is the newest implementation of those stones in WOTLK.

Grand Firestone
3 sec cast. While applied to target weapon it increases damage dealt by direct spells by 1% and spell critical strike rating by 49. Lasts for 1 hour.

Grand Spellstone
3 sec cast. While applied to target weapon it increases damage dealt by periodic...

Demonic Sacrifice Obliterated in WOTLK

feeds@yuku.com (Trodan warlock) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:50:16 GMT

Anyone read the new expansion talents? Check out the new Demonic Sacrifice:

Demonic Sacrifice
When activated, sacrifices your summoned demon to grant you 20% spell haste and 10% spell damage for 20 sec. Summoning a new pet cancels the effect.

Wow. Utterly useless.

Talent changes for WOTLK alpha

feeds@yuku.com (Trodan warlock) — Thu, 22 May 2008 04:21:25 GMT

Warlock spell/talent changes in the WOTLK alpha. Don't get too excited or upset. Lots of info is likely to change.

Things I like:
Fel Armor allowing 30% mana regen while casting.
Cataclysm increases destruction hit chance by 1/2/3/4/5%.
Fel Intellect and Stamina combined into the new talent Fel Vitality. (Frees up 3 pts.)
Shadowfury's Stun effect now lasts 3 seconds.

Not so nice things:
Fel Armor no longer increases effects of healing you...

Warlock Demon-Form

feeds@yuku.com (Trodan warlock) — Wed, 21 May 2008 09:34:33 GMT

Possible Abilities:
1 - Shadow bolt type spell
2 - Shadow-based DoT
3 - Fire aura (Hellfire effect, but non-self damaging. Like pally aura Consecration?)
4 - ??
5 - Fear (AoE?)
6 - Intercept (like Felguard)

Enjoy the pic. Makes shapeshifting druids jealous. =)

Warlock talents were datamined from the accidentally released WOTLK alpha. These were built into a tree at:

Enjoy! ...and drool.

Destro vs Affliction

feeds@yuku.com (Naman) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:37:02 GMT

Who is taking the plunge to Destro?

Nag is still destro atm. Having trouble getting my spell hit capped, i think i am at 175 or so atm. Replaced a bunch of gems with hit gems. I guess I need better hit on the gear. Looking at belt of blasting, ring from badges, and sunfire gloves. Sunfire gloves are really really expensive if you buy the sunmotes for ~ 1k each. Need 6.

Interesting post from Kalgan...Warlock Blink?

feeds@yuku.com (Fractalzend) — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:02:22 GMT

"I think a lot of people here greatly overestimate the effect of "whining" and have some serious misconceptions about whether we "like or hate" certain classes (or the people that play them).

We definitely feel the need for warlocks to gain some sort of active defense so we don't have to try to balance them around the assumption that they're "tanking" melee classes. For example, an idea we're running with internally...

Big incoming lifetap nerf

feeds@yuku.com (Trodan warlock) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:15:52 GMT

This is an ugly nerf on the PTR that isn't in the patch notes.

Lifetap has been changed to tap 16% health and return 16% mana. Compare this to the current function of lifetap on a warlock with say 10k hp and 8k mana and +1k damage.

Live:
Tap 1,382 hp
Return 1,658 mana

PTR:
Tap 1,600 hp
Return 1,280 mana

Ouch. That hurts.

Fortunately, there's a pretty large outcry from not just locks, but other classes who say this is a...

Warlock Solo's Hydross

feeds@yuku.com (Macnchz) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 22:02:52 GMT

So I watched this old video of a warlock soloing the first boss in Serpentshrine Caverns. It's pretty impressive when you think about the sheer stamina this guy must have had.

I think I read it took him nearly 3 hours of kiting Hydross to finally down him. If you notice, by the end of the fight, his gear is completely red.

(Being in combat at all will cause all equipped items to gradually lose durability, regardless of whether any damage is taken or dealt.) I had to...

I topped the dmg charts tonight?!?

feeds@yuku.com (Macnchz) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 01:26:06 GMT

I'm starting to run BGs now so that I can get some decent gear. Is it normal for a lock in crap gear to top the dmg? Or am I just trying to hard...lol?

My lock is Demo spec 20/41/0 and I'm wearing only quest items accept for a couple of pieces.

Just wondering?

pet bar bug....

feeds@yuku.com (Macnchz) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 01:06:27 GMT

Is it just me or does everyone experience the pet bar disappearing when you get knocked off of your mount. Very annoying especially when your minion is on passive. On a side note I usually always have my pet on defensive except when I enter a contested city/town...and then I forget to switch it back

Any advice/comments are welcome forums.worldofwarcraft.co...9095&sid=1

Seems around 100 is a good goal for normal resists. Course there are the crazies out there with 200+ but thats rare hopefully.

dreadstead quest....

feeds@yuku.com (zupaphly) — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 17:57:01 GMT

just wondering if any other warlock out there that has the glyphs,lodestone, and jar wanted to help me, konk, luke, and teyr do a run to help me get my dreadsteed... thanks

feeds@yuku.com (shadowthorn) — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 18:11:07 GMT

ive been able to get 2-3 cannons like this and only usually take damage on the last one
hope this helps ya

Warriors....

feeds@yuku.com (dgm) — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 08:46:42 GMT

are the toughest for me...not even to beat....to survive as an Affliction Lock.

I toss on Curse of Exhaustion get him into combat so he can't use Charge. But they still got Intercept and combined with Hamstring I can't get far enough away from him.

Yes - I do Death Coil him or use the instant Howl of Terror. But he's got trinket/stances. Against the good warriors they are still in range to beat me down...hard.

Is this the right tactic?

Any recommendations on...

Blue PvP Gloves

feeds@yuku.com (cmp) — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 06:10:05 GMT

The highwarlord gloves have 50% chance to reduce interuption while casting Fear. Worth picking up even though it's not as nice as the purple gear?
