I have some hope for the overhaul is suppose to come but on the other hand if it doesn't come it is fine too since I didn't pre-order WoTLK yet.

(To the tune of American Pie, obviously)

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How TBC used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I'd make those DoT timers dance
And do some decent damage for a while

But february made me shiver
Affliction scaling didn't deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
Forced to 0/21/40 spec

I can't remember if I cried
When my first succy was sacrified
But something touched me deep inside
The day that warlocks died.

So bye-bye, had a very last try
Played with premades on the beta,
The results made me sigh.
And them good old boys were rerollin' their hy-brids
Singin, this'll be the class that I'll try
This'll be the class that I'll try

When you see all this hybrid love
Do you have faith in Bliz above,
If the EJ spreadsheets tell you so?
Do you believe in forced rerolls?,
Can a druid save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to fight a rogue?

Well, I know that things are looking grim
With our chance of raid invites quite slim.
PvP lost before it's begun,
Because you can't do that while stunned!

I was a lonely teenage warcraft nerd
With a class, once great, now quite a turd
So I thought I'd say some final words
The day that warlocks died.

I started singin,
Bye-bye, had a very last try
Played with premades on the beta,
The results made me sigh.
And them good old boys were rerollin' their hy-brids
Singin, this'll be the class that I'll try
This'll be the class that I'll try

Now for 3 years we've been on our own
With our curses, soulwells, and soulstones
But thats not how it's going to be.
Many druids makes a winning team
Debuffs, 1ups, better DPS, and heals
Doing much more that could come from you and me

Oh, and while Blizz was looking down,
They merged our robes with healing gowns
Cloth got homogenised
With spirit, which we still despise
Nine specs, same cloth drops, that's a fail!
And still all that spellpower plate and mail...
I drank a lot of Brewfest Ale
The day that warlocks died

very creative of the euro poster afterglow

:P

i still end up killing most things as heavy destru, in duels and bg.

but we die alot easier, but so do most classes

for instance arms warriors are hard since you cant cc them when they do their wirhlwind and they do loads of dmg .. but when 80 when we have that demon portal its gonna be easy as well.

retripallas are tough, specially with bubble up. but if they dont have bubble you can win ,, id say 50/50 (at least against nerwen! ^^ )

i really really enjoy destro, insanely fun spec. cant see myself respecking at least this week hihihahahoahao

Im still doing SL/SL and only classes I have problem with is rogues, warriors and retri palas(which are completly imba btw ;p).

The fear buff was nice.
Dont understand why they removed paranoia tho, just makes the class even weaker against rogues.

I got a good suggestion to anyone who can't take rogues, Rogues are easy if you spec demonology and use your metamorph, tbh I pwn all classes atm with my demonspec! :P

Paladins have been nerfed in the latest hotfix. Judgements have been halved or so.

The coefficients of these spells were hotfixed last Thursday I believe.

Corruption's coefficient went from 0.156 to 0.20.
Immolate's coefficient went from 0.13 to 0.20.

This ends up being a reasonably significant dps buff to all 3 specs. In our preliminary testing, Demonology may have benefited the most.

Please recognize the changes these numbers will have on your class when making subsequent posts.

when a spell has a casting time less then 4 sec thats the number you take the +dmg you have as a caster to determine how much the spell benefits from your +dmg stat

ie a lock with 2k dmg now will get 2000x.2= 400 dmg on top of the base dmg on his coruption wheras hed have gotten 2000x.13 = 250 at best?
