Warlocks - our time is NOW

What this episode covers

For the people who thought that Warlocks were the forgotten class in Warcraft... our time has come!Warlocks are now going to be an asset for raids!The proof is easy - just look at some of the changes that made it in for patch 3.1 -Specifically, soul shard management is now more easily managed.Drain Soul: Each time Drain Soul deals damage to a target which can grant experience, it now has a chance to generate a Soul Shard.Soul Shard: This item now has a maximum count of 32 in inventory.I hate soul shard farming, and am glad to see those two changes...Improved Shadow Bolt: Increases the damage done by your Shadow Bolt spell by 5%, and your Shadow Bolt causes your target to be vulnerable to spell damage, increasing spell critical strike chance against that target by 5%. Effect lasts 30 sec.Notice it says SPELL DAMANGE, not "your spell damage" or "shadow spells" - this means anyone else casting on the target reapls the benefits... this is awesome in any kind of party.Improved Soul Leech: Your Soul Leech effect also restores mana to you and your summoned demon equal to 2% of maximum mana, and has a 100% chance to grant up to 10 party or raid members mana regeneration equal to 0.25 of maximum mana per second. Lasts for 15 sec.Warlocks With REPLENISH? Life is good!So, choose your talents wisely, and update your LFG macros to include what you're bringing to the raid... warlocks are now an asset not to me overlooked.
