Wielding the power of shadow, Warlocks make formidable enemies. Destroying her enemies over time and mastering her command over demons, the WoW Warlock is fearsome.
The Warlock in World of Warcraft is a DPS class, using damage over time (DoT) spells to cripple, weaken, and destroy enemies. Making efficient use of the Warlock’s crowd control spells – Fear, for example – can allow the Warlock and her summoned demon to handle multiple enemies at once. Because of this, the Warlock is an excellent solo class and a formidable enemy in PvP combat.WoW Warlock Talent Trees – Affliction, Demonology and Destruction
The Affliction tree in World of Warcraft focusing on increasing the Warlock’s DoT damage, improving drains, and strengthening curses. Affliction Warlocks are an excellent solo choice, especially if the Warlock plans on using the drain-tanking style of play. Highlights of the Warlock Affliction tree include Shadow Mastery (increases damage or life drained by shadow spells by 15% with 5 points) and Dark Pact (Drains an amount of your pet’s mana and returns to you, 1 point).
For those Warlocks who want dominion over all demons, the Demonology tree will see the most talent points spent. Spells in the WoW Demonology tree grant the Warlock additional benefits for using their demon, allow the Warlock to sacrifice their pet for bonuses, and even allow the Warlock to summon the dreaded Felguard. Highlights of the Demonology tree include Demonic Tactics (increases Warlock and pet melee and spell critical chance by 10% with 5 points) and Demonic Embrace (increases stamina by 10% with 5 points).
The Destruction tree grants the Warlock an increased DPS to standard spell damage (as opposed to DoT damage), in effect increasing the Warlock’s nuking ability. Highlights of the Destruction tree in World of Warcraft include Ruin (increases the critical strike chance of destruction spells by 100% with 5 points) and Improved Immolate (Increases initial damage caused 30% with 3 points).World of Warcraft Warlock – Support from the Demonic Realm
The Warlock in WoW is a damage dealing de-buffer class, channeling the power of the darkness to slowly destroy their enemies or aid their allies. As mentioned earlier, the Warlock is quite capable of conquering much of the World of Warcraft solo, especially while using the Voidwalker as a tank. Careful use of their pets (Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus, Felhunter, Felguard) make Warlocks one of the toughest and most feared classes in WoW, as anyone who has ever been ‘fear-locked’ can attest to.
Warlocks can maintain respectable numbers in raid and PvP situations as well. Warlocks are a very entertaining and rewarding class to play for players of any level. Warlocks in World of Warcraft may very well be the best solo class, excepting perhaps the Hunter.

Despite a number of irritating delays, Raven Shield expansion Athena Sword has officially gone gold this past Friday, and is on track for a March 19th showdown with, er, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Battlefield Vietnam. Wow, Ubi really knows how to pick a release date!
Developed by Ubi’s Milan studio, Athena Sword comprises a new eight-mission campaign, five new multiplayer levels, three new multiplayer game modes, seven new weapons (with sound effects from the team that worked on The Matrix movies, apparently), and three bonus missions from the original Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear brought up to date as a special treat for fans – all of which sounds like a healthy mix for an expansion pack.
Athena Sword also introduces civilian characters that have to be rescued, and a new single-player mode called ‘countdown’ in which the Rainbow team plays against the clock. We’re also particularly interested in one of the new multiplayer modes – kamikaze – in which one member of the green team is given a pistol and a heartbeat sensor and strapped with explosives, the idea being that the green team has to find a defuse kit located at the red base, while the read team either has to kill the bomber or find the detonator at the green team base.
Expect more on Athena Sword closer to its release date. (And, er, given its history, we’ll advise you if that changes.)

Blizzard has banned more than 5400 World of Warcraft players from the game for good as part of plans to clamp down on gold farming and cheating in general.
A further 10,700 accounts have been suspended for “participating in activities that violate the game’s Terms of Use, including using third-party programs to farm gold and items.”
According to Blizzard, “Such actions can severely impact the economy of a realm and the overall game enjoyment for all players,” and ” Selling World of Warcraft content, such as gold, items, and characters can result in a permanent ban of the involved accounts.”
But there’s good news for non-scurrilous WOW fans: patch 1.10.1 has now been released to enhance your playing pleasure. Apparently, the Jagged Obsidian Shield is now Bind on Equip, and the Titanic Leggings Pattern will now drop slightly less frequently, which is obviously the best news we’ve had all day. You can read the full details over on the WOW website.
Perhaps more excitingly, patch 1.11 is coming soon – and there’s good news for Mages, who will get a talent review. The patch will also introduce a new 40-man raid dungeon – the necropolis of Naxxramas, which is home to the dreaded lich Kel’Thuzad. Soon the scourge will march again etc., more info on the website.
