Warlocks Get Small Nerf

I thought the previous EVE bug was the best ever, but it's now got competition. Seems that in the World of Warcraft test realms, they put in a little feature for our Warlock brothers.

The real humour in all of this is that Warlocks are arguably the most imbalanced class in World of Warcraft right now - they have crowd control, high DPS, debuffs, great PvP, limited self healing, the list goes on. I'd bet the first person to find this initially thought, "Sweet, a neat little buff."

"Friday afternoon when the PTR came up with the latest 2.3.2 patch, premade Warlocks had a little something extra in their stocking from Greatfather Winter. According to Jagoex at Warlock Therapy, it seems that the Warlocks' Seed of Corruption AE/DoT spell had been superbuffed to be: 2-3x, more powerful, instacast, require no mana and have a range of 60,000 yards. And if that wasn't enough, it could be cast even if the Warlock was dead. As you can imagine, hilarity ensued. As did a quick shutdown of the PTR Friday night.

When the PTRs came back up later in the evening, the spell was removed and all premade Warlocks had their talents and spell lists wiped. So not only do new Warlocks have to drop 350g to repopulate their empty spellbooks, they have to run all the quest lines to reacquire their pets. Needless to say, there aren't many premade Warlocks on the PTRs this week."
