Every week, WoW Insider brings you [hide]Blood Pact[/hide] for [hide]affliction[/hide], [hide]demonology[/hide] and [hide]destruction[/hide] warlocks. For those who disdain the watered-down arts that other cling to like a safety blanket … For those willing to test their wills against the nether and claim the power that is their right … [hide]Blood Pact[/hide] welcomes you.

Rumor has it, dearest warlocks, that we’re pretty much the best pure caster class in this raiding tier. Now I’m not one to give in to such hearsay, but there’s a pretty reliable source to support it. That said, I think it is safe to say that this is one thing that we all pretty much knew. Despite that, there are still other whisperings going around the DPS water cooler that need to be put out of their misery. This week, we’re going to talk about some of those things that you may have heard in passing by, possibly even from a pretty reliably source, that simply aren’t true (or aren’t quite as true as those supporting them would have you believe).

If you recall, as few weeks ago, I went into a few tips and tricks for warlocks to adhere to during their [hide]adventures into the Firelands[/hide]. Predominantly, the focus there was on staying alive. Those suggestions should always be taken to heart. Staying alive is always the best policy — but there are times when it’s killing things that you’re really interested in. Let’s get started on those tactics.[hide]Continue reading Blood Pact: Quashing misleading rumors about warlocks[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Warlock[/hide], [hide](Warlock) Blood Pact[/hide][hide]Blood Pact: Quashing misleading rumors about warlocks[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:00:00 EST.

WoW Insider’s on a [hide]Daily Quest[/hide] to bring you interesting, informative, and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.

Gearscore may be a thing of the past, but Dungeon Finder queues and the people you find in them remain pretty much the same. The locations have changed, but you’re still going to find a Go Go Go Guy every now and again. I don’t really queue for random dungeons anymore — I’ve got so much going on in my day that I can’t usually spare the half hour to 45 minutes of sitting in queue waiting for it to pop.

Today, however, we’ve got a blog post from someone who doesn’t mind the long queue times and actually prefers them, as well as a few other posts from around the blogosphere about time investments.

[hide]Priest With a Cause[/hide] shares some reasons as to why [hide]long queue times[/hide] aren’t a bad thing.

[hide]Flash of Moonfire[/hide] wonders if there’s any reason to put more time into raiding than say, [hide]twice a week[/hide].

[hide]Mana Obscura[/hide] found some time to [hide]check out the WoW TCG[/hide] and writes about the experience.

Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our [hide]WoW Resources Guide[/hide] for more WoW-related sites.

Sunday Morning Funnies[/hide] is your weekly list of WoW-related web comics.

[hide] Safe Passage[/hide] is, as you may have heard, coming to a close soon. Be sure not to miss out! In other news, Coffin Comics and What’s Shakin’ are up and running again, after a lot of technological kerfuffle.

Azarizotza has been under the weather and has made [hide]an announcement[/hide]; we all wish you well!

Congratulations to [hide]rodmin[/hide], who most correctly answered last week’s trivia questions. You win an imaginary pair of ’60s bell bottoms and disco ball fuzzy slippers!

This week’s trivia question is a bit different than usual! Name as many webcomics as you can that often appear on this list but are on hiatus, and let everyone know why. Bonus marks for anyone who suggests a new comic![hide]Continue reading Sunday Morning Funnies: Waiding[/hide][hide]Sunday Morning Funnies: Waiding[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Sun, 31 Jul 2011 12:00:00 EST.

What is this monstrous creation? Was it hewn together from two, or cloven in twain from one? Eh, it’s just a nicely symmetrical screenshot of Cho’gall, with his regular orc right head and perpetually surprised left cyclopean noggin shooting laser beams off into the sky. And if your first reaction to this screenshot is to try to figure out how you can hit all the different eyes with your boomerang, you probably play a little bit too much Legend of Zelda. (Thanks to [hide]Goob[/hide] of [hide]Solamnic Knights[/hide] on Kirin Tor [US-A] for the screenshot.)

[hide]Drama Mamas[/hide] Lisa Poisso and Robin Torres are experienced gamers and real-life mamas — and just as we don’t want our precious babies to be the ones kicking and wailing on the floor of the checkout lane next to the candy, neither do we want you to become known as That Guy on your realm.

[hide]Monday[/hide] is a good day for drama, don’t you think?

Dear Drama Mamas,

I’m in a small dilemma. I’m in a guild I’ve been raiding with since the last six months of Wrath or so. At the time, I helped to pull them out of a rut with Sindragosa and make an LK kill possible. […] Now with Cata in full swing, I’m feeling a little undervalued as a pally healer. It’s not my GM and his wife (who tends to co-lead), who are wonderful, amazing people. It’s this relatively new-to-guild player who is a friend of an officer’s irl. Since having to adapt to class changes with Cataclysm, I’ve had to undergo what looked like a lot of retraining, IE: my healing output changed drastically, not to mention I was compared to our other pally healer and fell far short. Now that I’m back on my game so to speak, I’m doing fine. Sometimes accidents happen though, and sometimes I make mistakes. I apologize, do better and we profit. I will say I haven’t wiped a boss we had on farm. […]

This [hide]Breakfast Topic[/hide] has been brought to you by [hide]Seed[/hide], the AOL guest writer program that brings [hide]your words[/hide] to WoW Insider’s pages.

There are a lot of [hide]people who collect things[/hide] in game. Pets and mounts are often favorites, although there are often other items that people covet. People still charge into Black Temple hoping that they’ll get the elusive [hide]Warglaive[/hide] that will complete their set. Some have been farming Molten Core since release looking for a [hide]binding[/hide] to drop. Recipes are also sought-after. [hide]Dirge’s Kickin’ Chimaerok Chops[/hide] remains the only epic cooking recipe in the game, and now limited edition copies have been seen selling on the AH for upwards of 20k; something tells me it’s not for the 25 stamina well fed buff.

I collect shields. My main is a protection paladin, and I have a bag in my bank devoted to the shields that got me through my raiding career in style and safety. While my collection is not as extensive as Blockade’s, who got a shield named after him during this tier, I do have 15 shields ranging from the [hide]Aegis of the Scarlet Commander[/hide], to [hide]Akmin-Kurai, Dominion’s Shield[/hide]. I only add a shield to my collection if I actually used it for an extended duration, so each shield has memories of dragons and liches held at bay in instances, from taking the [hide]Royal Crest of Lordaeron[/hide] into Naxxramas, facing down Algalon with [hide]The Boreal Guard[/hide], striking down the Lich King with [hide]Neverending Winter[/hide], to stepping to Cataclysm raiding with the [hide]Elementium Earthguard[/hide]. When a shield has done well for me, I don’t cast it aside to some vendor when a superior shield is coughed up by a boss; I set it in a place of honor. I collect shields — and more so than that, I collect memories.

What do you collect? Or do you hold only onto those things you need at this moment?

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You’re playing the game, you’re fighting the bosses, you know the how — but do you know the why? Each week, [hide]Matthew Rossi [/hide]and [hide]Anne Stickney[/hide] make sure you [hide]Know Your Lore[/hide] by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.

The dragonflights may have been created at the same time, but for the thousands of years they’ve existed on Azeroth, they’ve hardly been friendly with one another. It started with the Black Dragonflight and Neltharion’s betrayal during the [hide]War of the Ancients[/hide]. In the moment that Neltharion took the name Deathwing, in the moments thereafter during which he destroyed nearly all of the Blue Dragonflight with the Demon Soul — in those moments, the dragonflights were introduced to a new concept: deception. It was unthinkable that any dragon would deliberately seek to harm another, and yet it happened.

The fallout was immediate. Malygos, driven mad by the betrayal of one of his closest friends and the loss of his flight, fled to Northrend. In his madness, he split the Nexus from the rest of the land, separating Coldarra from the rest of the Borean Tundra. And then he stayed there, alone in his despair and insanity, refusing all visitors in his grief. The Blue Dragonflight crumpled, held up only by those who stood and tried their best to hold together the shattered remnants of the flight.[hide]Continue reading Know Your Lore: The Wyrmrest Accord and the order of the world[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Lore[/hide], [hide]Know your Lore[/hide][hide]Know Your Lore: The Wyrmrest Accord and the order of the world[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Sun, 31 Jul 2011 20:00:00 EST.

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. In World of Warcraft, that player is you! Each week, [hide]Anne Stickney[/hide] brings you [hide]All the World’s a Stage[/hide] with helpful hints, tips and tricks on the art of roleplay in WoW.

We’re going to take a break (just a little one, I promise!) from the plot point series this week, because I’ve had something else on my mind that I wanted to chat about. Roleplaying isn’t really a solo activity. You can roleplay by yourself, but that’s hardly any fun at all, unless you’re writing fan fiction or something along those lines. It’s a social activity — and generally speaking, the more people you have involved, the more fun it has the potential of creating.

Roleplay guilds are one way to guarantee you’ve got a group of like-minded roleplayers, whether your guild is a themed guild centered on a particular plot or simply a handy collection of players who would like to RP. But sometimes you don’t want to join a guild for one reason or another, yet you’d still like the camaraderie that roleplay has to offer. What do you do at that point? How can you be social without the hassle of being in a guild? The answer is organized activity — the sort that doesn’t require a guild tag to participate.[hide]Continue reading All the World’s a Stage: Roleplaying groups, government and organizations[/hide]Filed under: [hide]All the World’s a Stage (Roleplaying)[/hide][hide]All the World’s a Stage: Roleplaying groups, government and organizations[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Sun, 31 Jul 2011 16:00:00 EST.
