Corruption

The way Corrupted Items are supposed to work, there's an intention that you'll always balance your Corruption against the benefit a specific item or trait will bring you, looking for ways to keep your Corruption low enough that you're not blowing up your raid while you also blow up the monsters.

Patch 8.3 is coming out today!

If you haven't had enough of gear being overly complicated in BFA, I have some great news for you -- in patch 8.3, we're moving away from the simple Titanforging system, where sometimes a piece of gear can drop that's just a little bit better than normal.

We've finally gotten a look at what's coming in patch 8.3: Visions of N'zoth.

Y’all talked a lot about free will and predestination and forced corruption in the Warcraft cosmology yesterday. I ended up exercising my free will and am not talking about it at all in this Tuesday’s Queue.

I will say that one of the things I liked about Warcraft III is that Arthas damns himself. Every step of the way, he makes choices, and they lead him step by step to his ultimate fate. Even taking up Frostmourne is a choice he made after being repeatedly warned not to do it. To my mind that’s a lot more interesting than getting shot with a magic red dart that might be a Tear of Elune and turning bad just because.

Affliction is still the only Warlock spec available on the Legion alpha, though Demonology got a literal new skin for its Artifact that's still not implemented.

Yes, we're still talking Affliction in Legion, but don't worry, once Demonology and Destruction make their respective debuts on the alpha, I'll probably be doing nonstop non-Affliction then.

Demonology's class fantasy right now feels like Schrodinger's cat, where we don't really know what it's going to be yet.

We take a close look at the Warlock trinkets coming to World of Warcraft in patch 6.2.
