I’m Alive, Damnit!
Matticus writes about dead WoW Blogs. I’m not dead. I was on vacation, remember?
And since Steptoe actually suddenly reappeared, I’m also back in the game and made level 54 [...]
Draele on Improving Warlock Talent Trees
Draele of Rantings of the Afflicted spent some time recently to think about issues with the Warlock class. Now before all non-warlocks start thinking “pff, like warlocks need any buffs”, this isn’t about buffing the class but about fixing glaring inconsistencies in the talent trees which limit warlock playstyles.
Blog Azeroth Shared Topic: How did you come up with your Character Names?
I’ve left the first couple of Blog Azeroth shared topics slide by since I didn’t have anything worth sharing, but I’ll hop on this particular bandwagon
So character names. Going back to my teens when I was playing pen & paper RPGs (yes, my nerd roots are that deep), names which sounded more or [...]
AddOns in Review: Damage Meters Benchmark III, solo Warlock
This will be a lot shorter than the other benchmarks as I wanted to verify the low-level hunter results. I tested a level 60 lock with lolguard in HFP for a while, all tested meters are consistent with each other and match WWS, with the exception of DamageMeters, which simply cannot account for the felguard’s [...]
Warlock Therapy: PTR: Warlocks Absorb Bliz’s Mistake, Costs 350g
According to Jagoex, locks are currently broken on the PTR, without talents nor spells nor pets. He cautions not to copy your lock unless you’re rich.

3v3, Week 2
Last night, we managed to convene again and go back to the task of building a working team. Again, we had no specific rating goals set, we were primarily interested in improving teamwork.
Considering that, the evening went extremely well, Steptoe and Sons moved from 1440 up to 1507, with a nice 7-3 win ratio.
Highlights of [...]
Today is your Warlock’s First Raid, A few Words of Advice
Written from level 60 experience, but I believe most still holds true today.
Be prepared and on-time. That means you are sitting at Kara’s gates before the invite time or at the very least at the exact minute invites happen, repaired. You should have stocked on Wizard’s Oil, Food which either boosts your spelldamage (ideally) or [...]
The Shadow Compendium - Warlock Playstyles
Slow Posting Days… Back right before TBC release, I compiled the Shadow Compendium with the help of the Allakhazam Warlock forum, and it is time to spread this a bit further
Raiding specs and playstyles are beyond the scope of the Shadow Compendium and thus also beyond the scope of Altitis.
Note that all posters [...]
A neat little pet trick before patch 2.3
So you have a pet and care about its health in tricky AoE situations, like boss fights.
The coming patch will bring some AI improvements to hunter pets which will try to keep in the enemy’s back whenever possible. However, until the patch goes live, there’s something you can do to ensure your pet stays at [...]
The Mandatory Bad Pugs QQ post
After our Arena run, a tank I had been to Shattered Halls to with whispered me to go to Black Morass, where I still hadn’t set a single foot. They had an additional spot for Steptoe too, were ready to summon, and it looked all gravvy.
It turned out quite disappointing, two wipes before we called [...]
Quick Heads-Up (2) and Musings about Fear
Funny coincidence. Two nights ago Steptoe my warlock buddy PMs me and asks if I know about a lock blog worth reading. Something I’ve been searching for a while myself (pre TBC my then-main was a level 60 lock, so the class is still interesting to me even if I don’t play it these days).
