iGoogle

Wow, never knew there is a iGoogle. Its kinda like My Yahoo. However there isn't alot of content you can add to it. It looks like its in the infant stage and I find the Yahoo version to be much better but Google is known for their quality products and I'm sure we can expect alot of changes over the next few months.

The layout of iGoogle is very much like the Google search engine. Simple basic straitforward.

Dream Theater Octavarium

DT's 8th studio ablum will be out on Junt 7th in 2 weeks time. Man I can't wait to get my hands on this ablum. DT is probably the best progressive rock/metal band out there now.

More info from Dream Theater's website.

There really isn't any info on what kind of ablum Octavarium is, a progressive metal masterpiece like Train of Thought or is it like the epic masterpiece Scenes from a Memory?

2 more weeks and we will now :)

All of Mp3.com

If you do not know already All of Mp3 is probably one of the cheapest place u can get your mp3.

However it is so cheap that my first impression was it gotta be illegal but the website is very well done and it looks really professional. In addition to that they got some really hard to find CDs/Labels as well. So I decided to actually do some searchin and I ended up with some pretty interesting results.

In summary, All of Mp3 is not illegal in Russia. For a even more detailed FAQ, check out MuSeekster for a very indepth look at All of Mp3.

Steve Vai Real Illusions: Reflections

Couple of months later, on my way home from downtown, I had Real Illusions: Reflections spinnin on my iPod, its a really kool ablum I think, its kinda different from all the instrumental ablums out there. The tone, the feel and the groove of the ablum is really different, even the structure of the tunes amazin.

Tunes I dig

Firewall, lotus Feet, yai Yai, Under it all

Warlock Addons

After playin in MC for WoW, I felt like I didn't have enough hands to properly play my Warlock so I ended up downloadin a couple of addons so I dun have to micro manage my pets while playing my Lock

Here are the links and all Warlocks should really download them, gonna make u a better player but however there are some bugs but I'm sure its gonna get fixed soon:

Necrosis is a shard + hs + SS tracker among others.

Servitude Resurrection is a great addon for managing ur pets.

CT Mod/Raid Assist/Raid Tracker is probably the most used addon in WoW and is almost a required addon most endgame guilds will require you to get.

Team Speak is another software most endgame guilds will ask you to get.

Warlock Basic

Well before I start, I wan ya'll to know that I'm juz writin what's in my head so there might not be any order to the guide.

Ok today I'm gonna talk abit bout Warlock in general. You get a new pet/minion every 10 levels.

You get a Imp at the start, Voidwalker (10), Succubus(20), Felhunter(30), Felsteed(40), Infernal(50), Doomguard(60)

As of now, I find that you can solo with any of the pets except Felhunter cuz its too weak but however it is a great pet in PvP especially against casters. The reason y I say Felhunter is weak/useless in PvE is because alot of times if you are fightin a caster, they got very little life and there is no need for you to pop a Felhunter juz to kill them, takes you 10sec to cast the Felhunter unless you are spec in Demonology and it will take you about 10 - 15 sec to kill a caster so y cast the Felhunter???

Ok back to topic, I think that the learning curve to be a good Warlock is one of the longest in WoW, not only do you need to learn how to play the Warlock properly, you gotta be able to play ur pet correctly as well, in other words you gotta be able to do micro managment very well. I think that a good Warlock will *not* have alot of his pet's skills on auto cast.

For example at lvl 60, if I'm using VW as my pet, I will send him in to taunt the enemy and I'll cast Curse of Agony, Corruption and Immolate last. I'll usually get aggro after VW taunts the enemy after the 3rd time. At this point I'll turn Taunt off. In the forums alot of people are complainin that VW runs out of mana too fast, reason? Simple they have everything on autocast. Unless you have improved Voidwalker, you will get aggro somewhere around the 3rd taunt. If you have imp. VW, its very hard to get aggro off VW. If you dun turn taunt off and juz leave it on auto cast, you are simply wasting mana cuz once you get aggro, its very hard for VW to gain aggro again and you will simply be wastin mana and most likely VW will not have enough mana after teh 2nd or 3rd fight.

Next up, I'm gonna talk abit bout the Warlock himself. Ur primary way to deal damage would be using Damage over Time (DoT) and some Direct Damage (DD). The difference? DoT spreads out the damage over a period of time but DD deals all the damage in 1 burst. For example Corruption does 666 shadow damage over 27 sec so the damage is spread out evenly over 27 sec, about 70+ damage per sec. Shadowbolt does 455 - 507 damage in 1 hit. Couple of main difference between DoT and DD. DoT cannot crit but however once you land a DoT on a mob, you will always do the same amount of damage unless you are fighting a mob that is very much higher level than you. As long as the mob is not immune to your spell, you will always have a very constant DPS unlike a DD, you can do less damage deal to high resist. But however because you cannot crit with a DoT sometimes it can take a while to kill certain mobs. But fear not Warlocks do have a mixture of DoT and DD, although we may not have as much DD as a mage, we do have enough spells and pets to make ourself useful in a group or solo.

But the way, I dun think a Warlock is suitable for dealin out high DPS or for constant nuking. We can do it but its not mana efficient, we should only do it if there is a need for it. I will go into more detail at a later date.

Next up I'm gonna talk abit bout the rest of teh skills we have in general. From level 10 onwards, you will need to learn a new spell call Drain Soul. Castin it rite b4 a mob is about to die will yield you a soulshard. A soulshard is used for summonin certain pets and for castin certain spells. Like it or not as of now you need to have a bag for soulshards cuz they dun stack. In certain instance, I can go through 20+ shards per run. Warlock is also one of the few classes able to deal out damage using AoE. Hellfire + Rain of Fire, although we are not as good as a mage but we are acutally a very decent AoE class.

Personally I think Warlock is kinda inbetween we dun do as much damage as a Rogue but we are very constant, we can't stack AoE but we are decent enough to be useful. We can soulstone, healthstone, AoE, deal damage, do crowd control, scout instance. I would define a Warlock as a utility player.

Will talk more bout AoE 2morrow.

Warlock

Well I decided to do a blog style guide for Warlock, rather than writin out an entire guide, I'll post my thoughts and ideas for playin a Lock.

Well here is a description of the Warlock by Blizzard. Personally I dun think anyone can tell you better than Blizzard since this is their game.

Although I dun agree with teh description but it is their game.............

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/

I've been playin the Warlock since open beta around early November 04 until now and Warlock has gone through several changes from being a primary damage dealer to a Dotter to finally now a debuffer.

Personally Warlock dun fit in as a debuffer. We dun debuff as well as the other classes. Why use Curse of Recklessness when Sunder Armor reduces the armor more? One more reason why we dun fit in as a debuffer, as of now you can have only 8 debuffs on a mob, meanin in a raid or even in a group of 5, a Warlock's debuff is useless cuz its gonna get cancelled out. Hell I ain't even doing damage in a raid unless I nuke.

But however its not that bad though, we are still useful and I'll reveal more on how to play a warlock over the next few days.

I wana go home

Juz like the headin I wana go home
