Is Raiding too Easy in Wrath?

There's been a lot of fuss about Ensidia's 2-Day Waltz through every boss in Wrath of the Lich King's initial release. Two months in, some of my guildies are starting to complain that the raid content is not challenging for them. I'm afraid I'm solidly on the side of accessible content, even if “bads” and “scrubs” are being allowed to PuG the once-hallowed halls of Naxxramas, formerly restricted to the elite...

Beyond Redemption

One problem we've seen with warlocks heading in to Wrath of the Lich King is the lack of New Stuff: ideas which would transform warlock playstyle and make warlocks more fun, like the improvements to warrior tanking or the pet talent trees for hunters. It's still too early to tell whether the lack of New Stuff for Warlocks is due to diabolical brain damage suffered by the developers as part of an infernal plot or to a simple lack of creativity and inspiration on their part.

So where...

Does Your Toon Have a Soul?

Even if you’re not a role-player, you may have noticed your toons having their own personalities and preferences. My dwarf hunter, for example, is one of those typical crazy engineers, won’t learn bow skill, and abandons pets that don’t match his armor. But, he has a cool roflcopter!



Other players have much more difficult toons than I do. N00benpriest demanded one day, “What do you think your toon does...

Hardcore or Elitist?

Are some raiders “better” than others? I suppose so: some raid teams can't defeat Moroes (as of patch 2.4!) while others are farming Sunwell. Does it matter? Well, it does if you want to kill raid bosses and explore instances. Doesn't matter which bosses, you can be a hardcore raider at any level. A hardcore raider works to become that better raider. An elitist, on the other hand, looks for other people to blame.

Why play a Warlock?

Warlocks start out as fairly generic characters, killing monsters with Shadow Bolt. But even the trainer in Northshire Abbey, Drusilla La Salle, emphasizes the themes of temptation and corruption. It’s kind of funny, because most of the trainers themselves have given in to some degree, but become petty thugs rather than occult tyrants, a negative example which might help PC warlocks stay relatively untainted!
