Inappropriate druid-joke... :)

Wrong....just, wrong. But still... lol.

Resto-druid.

I recently made a druid just to see if I could manage to be a healer. So far I've only healed through two dungeons. One with a mage that wanted to be the tank. He was extremely good at keeping the aggro and even though he was a clothie I managed to keep him alive. :)

I learned two important things: 1. Druid do not have Life Tap. 2. You are not a good healer just by having a lot of "heals per second".

Now I just have to learn to see who needs what kind of heal and when. :)

GNOMES!!!

Read the quest!

I don't know how many times I've looked at the map and then ran to do a quest only to mess it up completely. Killing stuff when I should have used a quest item, killed stuff "by hand" when I've should have used a golem or some other vehicle. Fishing for an HOUR to get that arm, long after I had got the bloated eel. Started escort-quests and then went afk or running/flying around trying to find someone who is inside a cave.

Tip of the day: There are no kittens.

To glyph or not to glyph?

That is the question. Well, if you are going to use Fear in dungeons/raids you better have Glyph of Fear or you'll risk ninja-pulling.

But it is not that simple. Personally I love using the glyph but I've read about people who rather not use it. Because, even if it is a very nice glyph it does take away a rather nice trick we warlocks have. Fear-kiting. If you don't know what kiting is I'll try to explain it quickly. Fear-kiting is used when you want to get mobs or pvp-enemies to stay away from something, usually yourself. You cast Fear and they'll run away, simple as that. If used correctly you can "ping-pong" two mobs at the same time and take them down without them ever touching you. It can also be used to Fear-kite enemies in pvp so that they'll never reach the flag-carrier or get close to your healer.

OR you can use the glyph, with the 5 sec cooldown and root their clothies so that your melee can slice them in half. Mount up and run up to their flag-carrier, Shadowfury and Fear and let your friends be able to catch up. Holy Paladins have no chance to heal if they are chain Feared. And without the glyph, getting Feared could be a life-saver since a running target is harder to hit. Standing still makes you an easy target. And if you get into a sticky situation and need to make a mob run away, you can still use Deathcoil or Howl of Terror.

So, which is best? Glyphed or non-glyphed outside dungeons? Actually, both. :) What I love with warlocks is that we have so many fun spells to use depending on the situation. And if all warlocks choose the same setup bg's would get boring. Now, when they see us coming they'll never be sure of what will happen. :)

The guild was searching for a dps for a hc the other night.

Patch 4.0.6 (PTR)

From http://www.wowhead.com/patchnotes=4.0.6-ptr:

For us destro-locks there are some quite nice news on the way. :) Shadow and Flame will proc from Incinerate aswell as Shadow Bolt. One less spell to keep track of since Incinerate is one of the fillers we use anyway.Thank you Blizzard. :)

But then they removed Drain Mana. ... Why? It is not as it is extremely important but it will make managing mana/health slightly harder. Guess we need to be a bit more careful to not lose both health and mana at the same time so that we could still use Life Tap. :)

And Curse of Exhaustion will reduce targets moving speed with 30% (as it was before 4.0.1) instead of 50%. Can't say that I ever used that as a destro-lock so I won't miss that.

To sum things up: Remove Shadow Bolt from the action bar and add a mana-potion to it instead. :) And be nice to the mana-supply...I mean healer.

BGs in a nutshell.

Trying to figure out a nice "rotation"

Going through the spellbook, looking at all the spells I want to use and wondering if I need to use a second button-bar or if I could do things smarter.

Somehow I wonder how to juggle everything. I need to keep the Immolate and Corruption dots and some combination of Bane and Curse up all the time. Cast Shadowbolt and Soul Fire to keep buffs going. Watch the cd on Conflagrate and Chaos Bolt. Decide if I should cast Incinerate or Fel Flame. Maybe start using Demon Armour and skip Jinx. Watch what the Imp is doing. (Bind it to the mousewheel?) Use Demon Soul whenever it is of cd...and figure out what spells are most efficient to use before the buff wears out. Find a good keybinding for the Demonic Circle. And on top of that have room for Fear, Banish, Enslave Demon, Shadowfury, Howl of Terror, Summon Infernal and Deathcoil to do crowd control.

And Fire Rain...and potions and healthstone...and Life Tap and Drain Life. And maybe start using Singe Magic?

There is going to be a lot of buffs, debuffs, cd's and cc'ed mobs to keep track of.

No, this isn't a QQ-post. :) I love to play as a warlock.
