"how to beat a demonology warlock as a frost dk"

I saw this search term about a week ago and I tried to ignore it but this weird voice in the back of my head compelled me against my will and self control to comment further upon it.

This is how I see the origins of this search term:

Upon the very first trash pull of this group's dungeon adventures, this frost DK opens up with howling blast hitting all the mobs, he is happy with Recount. He then sees this Felguard whirlwinding the mobs, and all of a sudden his entire monitor is aflame. The warlock is Hellfiring while moving around! He tries to hit more Howling Blasts but because he did not setup his initial diseases and rune-priorities, he is out of RP.  He has lost, the existence of his penis is nil. Cutoff by this demon and devoured by this Warlock. Ok wait no Warlock's don't eat penises. Scratch that.

Simple answer: Unless your gear level is insanely over the warlock's or if the warlock has no clue what they are doing. You can't*.

I've seen how..whoa why did my text change to blue? Oh well. I've seen Howling Blast crit for 12k at level 83, however Felstorm also crits for a similar amount, but SIX TIMES over six seconds.

*At the very least I have not seen this happen even once when I was on my Warlock. And yes I have driven many a frost DKs to their glorious frothing deaths trying to dish out as much damage as possible.

Now, why are you trying to "beat" anyone on the meters? I can now assume that you are not using your MIND FREEZE, or STRANGULAE, or even DEATH GRIP to help interrupt mobs? And why are you opening up with a Howling Blast? Are you sure the tank has aggro? I bet you ALWAYS grab aggro on at least ONE mob from the tank at the beginning of each pull. (Especially the bitter Feral Bear Tank) The healer back there is hating you but is also semi-content that your "damage" is just behind the warlock's, which should be pretty high.

Oh wait did you mean single target boss fights?

I don't know? Probably because a Demo lock can turn into a DEMON for a short duration and do 40% more damage. If they are 85, they do an ADDITIONAL 10% damage with a cooldown we get called Demon Soul, and it also increases our casting speed by 15%. Also, that demon's Felstorm is pretty nice for single target burst damage.

I don't know.

I'm at the point where I only use recount when I am on my healing toon to make sure my heals actually work. I KNOW that my Warlock will average 10-15K anywhere, and also my hunter will average 9-10K anywhere. (8K as Beast Mastery /sad) The numbers that my toon can generate versus environmental factors and my gear can only be so much.

Oh maybe you can pop your Runething cooldown that resets all your runes and spam Howling Blast! See my DK is Frost as well but I stopped playing him cause he is busy (once again) being a Jewelcrafting Slave. He must not leave the JC Daily Quest Giver EVER.

You want to proc Molten Winds ok I am totally making up the name but we have that one talent that procs a free Howling Blast everytime you hit with Obliterate. Use Obliterate sometimes!

OH WAIT to use Obliterate you should maximize the amount of runes that you have available to trigger it. More Obliterates, more free Howling Blasts more damage. If that pleases my lord.

So in conclusion: I don't know, get a better weapon to increase HB damage? I'm not even sure how it works.

Sex Change

I have an insanely short attention span. When I made my first WoW toon, I played it for a few weeks then decided that I wanted to try out all the classes. My second toon was Truny. I tried to be varied in my toon selection, the first was a male troll, second was female undead, third was male tauren, third was male etc etc, I wanted one of every combination and permutation. Yes I have multiple toons on multiple servers but Turalyon is where my wealth resides.

Anyways, I've been running as a Female Undead toon for the longest time and I've kind of given her a quirky sarcastic attitude. I've found that this style does not work with my other toons, such as my resto druid who speaks in technical writing.

I'm afrid my toon will slowly undergo a gender comformity change as well. Will he begin to use the words "g*y and f*g more?"

Thoughts? Go for it? Try it out, if no-likey, switch back?

I Can Has Epics: Dreamless Belt

I'm kinda liking this Dreamcloth weekly cooldown mechanic, with enough herbalizing and mining, my two gatherers are generally able to produce enough materials for each of the Dreamcloth cooldowns each week. And having realized that I may have rushed my skill to the max a bit too quickly, the cloth accumulation rate at level 85 actually isn't that bad. I actually have over a hundred Bolts of Embersilk Cloth just sitting around not really doing anything, refusing to be turned into Cheat The System PVP Items. Anyways..

Four Dreamcloths and some mad ingenious sewing-on-the-streets skill later, Truny creates a Dreamless Belt! I replaced Beauty's Silken Ribbon with this belt in my preparation for Raiding, as you can notice the solid chunk of extra HIT that the Dreamless Belt provides. I do lose my favourite stat: Haste, however with Mastery boosting my Felguard's damage as well, if in any case I am incapacitated during a raid (movement, mechanics, etc), my Felguard will still be up in the fray hacking away with all them crazy melee folk!

But I Have A Secret To Raid Preparation

We don't really really need gear upgrades or need to pay attention to what stats benefit us the most...as long as you have THIS ACHIEVEMENT, you are set. The game even says it, no one disprove your claim!

Truny the Warlock

Heroic Shadowfang Keep

No tips and tricks here, just a random thought. It's quite funny I remember my little druid at level 20 or so standing in front of Shadowfang Keep spamming the channel and the LFG channel (yes this was way before dungeon finder), trying to attract other newbies in our realm by spamming "LFM H SFK!" to which I received many funny replies.

This was way before the actual mention of the expansion, but look how things change.

SO ANYWAYS what's so great about H SFK you say? Well it is the ONLY heroic dungeon Truny has managed to queue in AND complete so far. I managed to ninja some awesome BLUE items from in there too! It's still kinda hard getting used to being in blues again isn't it? I wasn't alive during the time of vanilla WOW.

What's with people dropping out of groups when something just doesn't go exactly their way?

*You have entered Stonecore*

Healer /whine *Ugh tank why are you taking damage on the first pull*
Healer has left the group.
Tank has left the group.
Some random DPS has left the group.

WHAT THE HELL??

Ok let's requeue for 40 minutes, I only really have time to do this twice a day anyways.

*You have entered Lost City of Whatever'vir*

We make it all the way to the bomber egyptian thing boss (they all look the same)

Tank: "Ok guys stay out of the bombs". /pulls

The poor melee dpser and the healer stands in the bombs.

Healer has left the group.
DPS has left the group.

WHEN HE SAYS DON'T STEP ON THE BOMBS DON'T STEP ON THE BOMBS WHATS SO HARD ABOUT THAT THEY ARE RIGHT IN YOUR EFFING FACE??

(Also I belive they have a blast radius and can explode other bombs around them so I try to stand by the idle ones if possible)

By the way that boss is really funny he totally SLAMS you into the pillar! (And of course this tends to screw up the camera, obscuring land mines, hint hint Warlock Circle)

I forgot what happened but we never finished that place either.

From what I remember the smart mage and the smart warlock were the only ones left in that fight, at 95%+ health. That is before we got nommed by the boss.

Okay, requeue.

*You have entered Throne of Tides*

"Hey everyo-"

Tank has left the group
DPS has left the group
Healer has left the group
Your group has been disbanded

WHAT THE??

So from what I see at the moment, Cataclysm heroics are hard in the sense that it is difficult to find a good group if you are using the Pugger Tool, the actual encounters ... we've seen them all anyways just in different combinations. I don't know, we shall see I will report back soon!

Truny the Difficult

Where Do I Go??

So I *think* I downloaded Cataclysm? I log in and try to queue for the new dungeons as I am probably just going to play this game as per, grind grind grind to end level then max out gear then get bored BUT it said "You do not meet the requirements for this dungeon".

I have to PHYSICALLY WALK to the entrance? Where are these dungeons? How do I even GET from Dalaran back to the other cities? Will the other cities have a guaranteed spot to travel to these new spots?

You are now thinking "Goddamn it Truny go explore like the good old days!"

Oh right....they changed the maps and we can FLY on earth now!

But, this is just a massive Epeen stroke anyways, I am scared to go back to Orrigigirmmar (spelling) it'll just be thousands of people afk sitting on their shiny dragons (I am on the zeppelin back as we speak as I just remembered this archaic form of transportation). I will continue to type this as we go.

--

So apparently to get into Throne of Tides I have to get to Vash'jr, how?? Where's the instructions? Is it a teleport do I have to unlock the teleport do I have to go to the teleport to unlock it or do I have to unlock it in a chain elsewhere?

--

Omg I can fly over Undercity now FINALLY now that it is no longer needed, bah!

--

Ok I will try to get to Origigimmar and look for a starter quest of sorts, everyone who remained on my friend's list is already 85 how is that possible the game's been out for a week!?

--

Ok wait so is all this new dungeon stuff going to blow ICC 25 gears out of the water? One thing I don't like about coming back is that I still have the tendency to optimize everything, I shall write about my adventures in LOTRO perhaps later D:

--

Yep OMG I am right I'm not sure what part of Org this is but its filled with AFK dragon mounts GAH! Alright now to find the Archaeology trainer??

--

Ok wow this is exciting someone in an animated picture frame wants to talk to me, Krogar!

--

Ok I saw a pretty cutscene....now what??

--

Ok I trained archaeology and holy crap this is way too much info to read, I'll just figure it out later.

--

Whoa wait a minute the daily cata dungeon gives 104K exp?? ....ok then...ok I'm on the boat to Vashjr now.

--

Budd on the boat, he's a bucket of fabulous rainbows now isn't he?? o_O

--

First quest of the expansion: Collect Starfish for me EFF YOU!!

--

Bahaha why am I selling vendor trash I forgot we're rich in this game! Fish Oil -> EFF YOU!

--

"What's it got in its pockets" ??? PRECIOUS?? OMG HAHAHA

--
