Blood Pact is your weekly warlock digest brought to you by Dominic Hobbs . “A succubus is a devourer of souls, destroyer of hearts, tempter of men. A creature of profound evil and of singular mind. It cannot be brought into our world without a stimulus.” ~ Gan’rul Bloodeye Previously in ‘Meet the minions’ we have looked at the imp and the voidwalker as well as how to manage your minions and your threat . In this installment our demon of choice is the succubus and the game mechanic is crowd control; fear, seduce, howl, banish and a svelte demon with wings. But before I delve in I need to clarify something to Blood Pact readers. For a while now I’ve had a demon trying to whisper words of doubt into my ear. He’s been telling me that Blood Pact readers want PvP info in the column, that they cry out for it, they yearn for it, they need it; and that I can’t deliver any. It’s true that my knowledge and experience of PvP pretty much extends as far as being able to smell it early enough to avoid it. Don’t get me wrong, I love researching for Blood Pact but in this case I’m not going to try, and for two reasons. First, nobody who cares about warlock PvP wants to have me school them on it, and second we have some first rate PvP experts at WoW.com who can do it better. So I’ve sent the demon packing (literally; don’t be surprised if you find more than the normal number of broken biscuits in future packets) and have started a campaign to convince our arena and battleground columnists to get with some lock love. So enough with the preamble, lets get on with the show.

Here is a great article all about Spiritual Guidance: How to critique a priest without making them cry

Click here to learn the secrets of making gold in WoW

Every week (usually), Spiritual Guidance will offer practical insight for priests of the holy profession. Your host is Matt Low, the grand poobah of World of Matticus and a founder of No Stock UI , a UI and addons blog for WoW. Once in a while, I’ll get a question in the mail from a reader that goes something like this: Dear Matt, There’s a priest who has recently joined our guild. I’m not sure if he’s doing the right things. His HPS doesn’t seem to be where our other healers are at. His overhealing seems to be a little bit high. I’m not sure if I’m reading it right and I was hoping you could tell me how you evaluate the priests (or healers) that are in your guild . Am I supposed to be using numbers as a solid way to see how good they are? Sincerely, Dazed from healing In this week’s Spiritual Guidance, I’ll walk you through how I evaluate priests who join my guild. I’ll go over the best times to get impressions, what I look for specifically, and how I deliver the necessary feedback. We’ll go all the way from application through to raid insertion.

Heres an article I found when surfing all about Blood Pact: Patch 3.3 raid build roundup

Click here to learn the secrets of making gold in WoW

Each week Dominic Hobbs brings you Blood Pact . “Oh how I love the feel of it, the way it burns your skin and weaves evil thoughts through the mind…” ~ Impsy With patch 3.3 looking evermore imminent and the changes to warlock talents and spells seeming to have settled down, it’s a good time to take a look at what we can expect from the next expansion. This isn’t going to be a review of the fights and encounters in Icecrown — though I’m sure we’ll get to that at some point — this is a look at how our various raiding builds have changed. I’ve already reported on most of them as they hit the PTR in previous articles, so I’m not going to dwell on the changes themselves. You can read up on this detail here , here , here and here . I wouldn’t say that lock talents are broken at the moment but it certainly seems as if we’re left little option when it comes to raiding. You have destruction for damage and a demonology bi… err… buff spec . The overriding impression I have looking at the patch 3.3 changes is that there will be more choice to play the spec you like. Something we’ve not had for a very long time. After the break I’ll list the changes from the patch notes for reference and then we’ll get down to how that shakes out.

Very often, what seem to be class balance issues or problems with a class or spec aren’t, in fact, problems with that class/spec at all. They are instead consequences of encounter design or gearing issues. One example of this is the current state of the DPS warrior: on paper, there’s nothing really tremendously wrong with either arms or fury for DPS in PvE content. Having used arms to great success in PvP recently, I sat down and really looked at what was hampering me when I switched to it for PvE DPS, and the problems I found seemed to be as follows.

Here is a great article all about The Care and Feeding of Warriors: How to get hit in the face

The Care and Feeding of Warriors is our weekly column about pie baking competitions. No, no, I’m just kidding you, it’s about warriors, be their tanky or DPS. Matthew Rossi is feeling fine after a solid month of near continuous beatings from various creatures, constructs and undead beetles. One of the interesting things about being a raiding tank again after about a year of DPS is how you come to enjoy being hit in the face. Or wherever they’re hitting you, really… tonight I spent a lot of time using Spell Reflection to keep a giant robot head angry at me while the floor erupted in flames all around. That treacherous floor, always erupting in flames when you stand on it. Quite honestly, at this point it’s really all I expect from the floor. If it’s not on fire or seething void energies then icicles are falling down on it or there’s paralytic poison or it just plain disintegrates and I plummet into a subterranean lair . As I’ve relearned tanking (since not only do we have a lot more tricks than when I was last tanking in raids, but there’s a whole different skillset when tanking for 9 or 24 other people compared to 4 other people) I’ve had a lot of discussions not only with tanks of other classes, but also with warrior tanks from other groups, since I’m the only raiding warrior tank in my current guild. So now seems like as good a time as any to discuss what’s going on in tanking.
