Soul Shattered...

I have lost my mojo...my juice...my blood lust...my thirst for the wonderful adventure called WoW. My warlock sits frozen in time...still clad in her ilvl 349 gear, no new ill-fated attempts to survive ganking in Tol Barad, no unfortunate incidents in heroic dungeons, no new shiny bauble, no cool achievements. Nothing. In a dream I had the other night, my other-wise inept and incapable warlock-self was in a battleground spamming DOTs, raining fire, and spreading fear and chaos like a pro. I woke up certain that I would log in and pick up where I left off. Instead, I found myself out in the yard planting flowers, raking up old leaves and playing with my golden retriever. What is wrong with me? Has using soul harvest with wild abandon, passing out soul stones like candy, life tapping like there is no tomorrow, finally emptied my soul until all that remains is a soulless shell, stuck in some digital shelf, where Blizzard stores inactive accounts? How do I get my soul back? I thought patch 4.1 would definitely entice me back, but unlike mages, the uncontested gods and goddesses of the WoW universe, the favored children of Blizzard, destruction warlocks got nothing in patch 4.1. Left adrift by Blizzard, unseen and unnoticed by Ghostcrawler and his team of designers, where does a moribund warlock go to get her mojo back, to find the pieces of her shattered soul?

Dark Intent: An Introduction

Dark Intent: An Introduction

Well. This is my first blog ever.  I have never been motivated/inspired to write anything before. Not until World of Warcraft. Playing a warlock makes me dance, hop, skip, laugh, giggle. It also makes me grrrr! Pound the keyboard! Kick the pc! Pull my hair out. Kick and scream. Cuss Blizzard! To spare my dog, my two cats and my boyfriend from any more grief, I decided to start this blog.
But as I am a noob warlock, there will be no PVE/PVP/leveling/raid guides, no tips on macros, keybinds. In short, after having read this blog, you will not be a better warlock for it. Instead, this blog is my warlock venting machine. It will suck up all my rage, anger and frustrations over nerf-bats (real and perceived), in-game disasters, embarrassments, disappointments, and virtual stupidity, ie dying due to casting when mounted, falling off cliffs, getting lost in instances, pulling mobs causing a wipe, messing up in guild progression all the time, (like getting hit by Sindragosa's Blistering Cold night after night back when we were progressing Lich King). In short, this is a diary of a fail lock.
Stay tuned for more.
