Each week Dominic Hobbs brings you Blood Pact . A journey into the shadowed side of your magical being, taking in all the sights from the dark heart to the withered soul. Where we learn the true price of power. In the last ‘Meet the minions’ we looked at how to control your summoned demon and had a good look at the imp. This time we are showcasing the voidwalker and learning what threat is all about. Knowing how to make sure the enemy leaves you alone and hits someone (or something) else is a key ability in the game and the voidwalker is the ideal tool for learning it. Your voidwalker is a tank . You usher him to the fore and while he keeps your target busy, you destroy them with shadow and flame. I tend to think that the image of a voidwalker is pretty bland, the other demons are much more evocative. Despite this the voidwalker is probably the most evil of minions to use on your enemies . It will reach into their minds and cause such anguish that they will desperately try to beat away this monster. This affords the warlock all the time he needs to safely curse and corrupt their bodies with exquisite slowness and care.

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.

Each week Dominic Hobbs brings you Blood Pact . The weak mind fears the darkness because it holds the unknown. Blood Pact knows what resides in the shadows and yes, they should be afraid. I was afflicted with some kind of corruption of my own last week, not sure if a warrior spell reflected it or what but it had me out of action either way. I don’t know how much attention you pay to spell icons but it took me a little while to realize just how nasty the icon for Corruption really is — nasty enough for China to censor it , in fact. It speaks well of how I was feeling, but hopefully the articles on the PTR changes kept you topped off with warlock goodness in Blood Pact’s absence. This week we’re looking at starting a new warlock. This could be for someone new to the game, or rolling an alt. Either way, now is a great time to start leveling as a lot of the world you’ll be passing through will be changing with the advent of Cataclysm . So if you’ve never played a warlock, or even if you have, then get onto that character selection screen and stare blankly at the screen for half an hour while you try to think of that perfect warlock name.

This week, The Care and Feeding of Warriors chronicles a turn. After 11 months as fury, Matthew Rossi has changed gears and transitioned his role once more. Sometimes you can go home again. I’ve given fury up for dead. Not because it actually is dead. You can do good DPS with it if you have best in slot gear in every slot, which is par for the course with fury, really… I’m sure we’ll see some nerfs heading into patch 3.3 to soft reset fury DPS to keep it below everyone else the same way we did going into Ulduar. But for me, it’s not even the fact that you have to gear with a spreadsheet and compete with every other physical DPS class for those few drops that actually have the stats you want, it’s the fact that when you do this, you get to follow the exact same stultifying rotation we’ve had since forever. Fury may or may not be fine, but frankly, it’s gotten boring. Bloodsurge can only make up for so much. At least with an Arms spec, while the DPS is slightly less, you get to do fun things. And so my DPS spec is now arms all the way since I have Trial of the Crusader/Grand Crusader gear to support it, a honking great 2h sword (and so far I’m liking the retooled sword spec) and plenty of things to swing it at. Arms is active. You’re constantly using abilities, and while it’s ultimately almost as predictable as fury when you get right down to it, it doesn’t feel like it is. Between keeping your Rend active (letting it fall off then reapplying it for maximum Overpowers), hitting Sudden Death Executes and Slam in between MS and Overpower feels less like a clunky, hit this key then that key then this key rotation and more like you’re weaving in attacks.
