OMG finally some warlock love.

Ok honestly, if it weren’t the fact we could counter the FOTM classes with our CC (recently nerfed) and the fact that if we stack an absurd amount of resilience partnered with a healer class we aren’t “bad” in PvP.

However 80% of the time those requirements aren’t met, especially in world pvp. The warlock class has had so many flaws in its mechanics to make it viable on a solo condition in pvp. very few classes have as much trouble as a warlock do when they are all by themselves.

that being said it looks like a few NEW changes may bring back one of our old demons we rarely use.

Warlock (3.1 Skills List / 3.1 Talent + Glyph Calc.)
Demonology

  • Sacrifice now sacrifices a portion of the Voidwalker’s health to shield its master instead of killing the pet.

Destruction

  • Fire and Brimstone now Increases the damage done by your Incinerate and Chaos Bolt spells to targets afflicted by your Immolate by 3/6/9/12/15%, and the critical strike chance of your Conflagrate spell is increased by 5/10/15/20/25%.

Glyph

  • Glyph of ConflagrateYour Conflagrate spell no longer consumes your Immolate or Shadowflame spell from the target.

Seriously,

the Voidwalker change has been something we’ve wanted for a long time. Since we can no longer rely on fear.. or rather any CC ability for that matter. Hurting the Void to give us a bubble that can munch almost 9k damage will probably allow us to get off a nice nuke for once in pvp without having to rely on nightfall/backdraft/decimation procs to do it (each of those in a different tree btw).

Sorry guys, i’ve been pretty damn busy lately with work. just trying to make enough to afford where i live has got me bogged down. I haven’t given up on it. However the development of it is going pretty slow.

mmotest

Trust me though i will start developing on it again. I just need to square away some work ties and i’ll have some more free time on my hands. Thanks for everyone’s support.

Well i’m just about finished creating this replica of the Season 2 Set of the Warlock Corruptor Armor. Midway into designing it i’ve been getting flooded with requests to make replicas for each class in WoW.

Who know maybe soon IMVU will be a new spot to do some WoW RP for those folks who can’t, haven’t or aren’t able to play WoW.

Woot

Recent GC post

Fire and Brimstone — After a lot of feedback and testing, we think we are going to change this again. Now increases the damage done by your Incinerate and Chaos Bolt by 15% on targets afflicted by Immolate, and increases the critical strike chance of your Conflagrate by 25%. The first portion of the talent is now a pure percent boost instead of modifying the “bonus” that Incinerate gets. It was too confusing to players and had some weird side-effects, such as Chaos Bolt not scaling well with Incinerate if Incinerate did more damage.

Incinerate and Immolate — There does seem to be a bug where spellpower is not getting applied correctly. We don’t know at this point if this is an old or new bug. Certainly there used to be a lot of spells that didn’t scale with spellpower, though we now make an attempt to make sure almost all of them do. It may matter less with the F&B change, but we’ll still get it resolved.

Conflagrate — We still intend to leave this as it currently works on live (not consuming the Immolate).

We understand sometimes players can get whiplash from our rapid iteration. That’s just the way we designed, though we perhaps have not always communicated the design churn as openly as we do today.
