Some warlock poetry.

To all the tanks I've out aggroed, to the healers I've used as a mana-resource. To all the dps'es I've outclassed, especially the mage who had 800+ higher gs than me. To the people who can't cast their buffs, cause my Felhunter already gives an awesome Intellect buff.

To the mobs and unfortunate PvP enabled players I've fearkited. To people who have been summoned into the deep, cold ocean. All of you who don't get any pets or mounts with your class. And lets not forget all the 15 year old boys who don't have and never will get, a Succubus minion.

...a short poem to show you how I feel:

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I never go oom if I would drink your QQ.

Taking Gnomeregan back!!!

YEEAAAH!!!! Finally! We gnomes will get our home back again!!! Why is this so great? Well... Think this song explains it all. :)


There is no place like gnome. :)

The warlock mindset.

Just started leveling a new warlock and it struck me how much easier it was this time now that I learned how warlocks work...or rather...how to think when you play a warlock.

Playing a character is more than than the correct gems, enchants and a perfect timed rotation. You also need to have the correct mindset. :)

Playing a tank-class you are the center of attention. The healer does all he/she can do to keep you alive, the dps'es help you all they can and everyone follow you through the dungeon. You need to be a good leader and keep track of everyone in your group.

As a healer you take care of everyone and rely on them to protect you from the mobs.

On the surface warlock are a class that "do damage". But the difference from other dps-classes are that warlocks are selfish and evil bastards. Please let me elaborate... :)

Or minions, the Imp, Voidwalker, Fel hunter/guard and Succubus are NOT our pets. Hunters name their pets and feed them, take care of them and goes through a lot of trouble finding a special pet that they like. Minions can't be named, we don't feed them and they rarely have anything nice to say/emote. In short, they are just expendable tools. If things goes wrong, just send in your minion to get the aggro while you run away. (You might want to macro "/laugh" to a button you can click while running.)

Warlocks have no nice buffs to give out. Unless you call Unending Breath nice or useful. Ok, we can do Health stones, but honestly... ppl should have brought potions themselves. :) And, yes, we can summon. But the difference between summoning and the mages teleports are: "May I please teleport you to a city of your choise?" and "Come here and heal/tank for me while I let my minion do most of the work.".

Oh, yes, we do have Soul Stones. But they are to keep the healer alive. We need them to heal us while we Life Tap. (Just a word of caution, never yell at the healer that they take too many mana breaks...leave that to the rest of the group.)

Also, DoTs are pure evil. You might feel that rouges are devious and sneaky but nothing beats the viciousness of a bunch on DoTs. If you (or a mob) starts to feel that the fight isn't going their way and decides to flee...it is already too late. As a warlock you can just stand and smile at your opponent while they are running away (You might want to have a "/smile" macro aswell.) and then /laugh when they die and you are running for cover. Doesn't matter if you managed to run out of range of a warlock, it is just a matter of time before you drop dead while someone /laughs in the distance.

In a dungeon/raid, as a warlock, you spam Seed of Corruption on a couple of mobs and then leave the hard work of fighting to the others. Yes, you can use the /laugh-macro here when SoC procs from the dps of the others and people are standing there wondering what just happened.

Face of evil(?)
In short. To be a good warlock you should have the mindset of a complete bastard. :) Minions aren't pets. Buffs are something others do. Team mates are not mates as much as tools to keep aggro and heal you.

And why does mages have a nice tower in SW while we have our trainer in a murky cellar? And Dalaran, the city of mages... where is the city of warlocks? I guess that if there was such a place no one would ever want to go there. :)

So. Comments, please! :) What are the mindsets of other classes? Are hunters people who likes to collect pets? And are mages just people who like to drink alot? Are Death Knights the equivalent of emo-kids? And do people choose warriors because they feel a need to compensate for something?  :)

(Spamming my /laugh-macro.)

Warlock coward-tactics. :)


(Click on the image for a larger version)

This is one of the reasons I love warlocks. :)

1. Target your enemy. And press Ctrl-1 to let your minion attack.
2. While your imp is busy. Sidestep (run for your life to a safe distance).
3. Throw some DoTs and some Shadow Bolts.
4. ...
5. Profit! :)

Even if your Imp dies or if you would out-aggro it, you still have a second or two before your enemy gets to you.   
You can use this as a low-lvl lock before you get Fear and can start fear-kiting the mobs. :)

Raiding is fun...but...

I miss the feeling I had when I started playing WoW. Exploring unknown maps. Running around in the forests in Dun Morogh. Feeling a little bit scared every time I flew over Burning Steppes. Questing and building up a nice guild... But now I'm lvl80, most of my old guild friends have scattered to other guilds and it isn't fun doing quests that don't give you much, so I do my dailies, do the same dungeons I've run million times before... *Sigh*

Maybe I should start new character...but then it is 20 levels without a mount...leveling fishing and cooking.

Maybe it is time to start guild-hopping again soon? :)

New UI again... :)


Skipped MetaHud and shrunk some things down and moved them.

(And, yes, the bag is gone. ;) ...and if I open it, it will hide the Recount window. In other words, only one "evil" thing visible at a time.)

Bug?


Couldn't interact with these.. :( Must be a bug.
