WotlK warlock Demonic Circle preview

[bobxbg]

I <3 DC :D

[0xNoXNamex0]

what does the demonic circle do?

[Kristiannbg]

It's great for PvP and for Staircase events in private servs locks abuse it.. xDD

[sam421kc]

blizz cnaged how the circle looks

[GrowThirdLeg]

Thanks for the preview!

I could see how this could be used for pulling

Has anyone figured out a very good use for this ability?

[RoseFuneral27]

Duels/arena

[andreaskaaej]

Blizz just love their lock :D and me 2

[wowhuntrr]

It would be so much better if it was like "rain of fire" spell cast. I still love this.

[Boehsermarc]

very nice, In Flames :)

[hugboxx]

Why does every wow video have the same terrible generic death metal type soundtrack?

[snatted]

Cause the majority of WoW players listens to metal and/or death metal.

This isn't my video though - I've nothing to do with the music. I just uploaded it - I don't listen to death metal myself. :)

[1Airsprint1]

Fuck you you POS IN Flames in not generic death metal

[splendid696]

it's pussy metal.

[DoomInductor]

In Flames used to be good, back in their Jester Race/ Whoracle era, now they're just annoying shitty screamo.

[napukapu]

grow up kid. You're so wrong.

[T0rp4u]

Its just like a regular video, the music is dependant on the situation

[loco320]

my vid don`t use rock

i think it worked out pretty sweet

atleast with first song

[blinkiboy89]

@hugboxx Better generic metal than pop.

[AshFordFocus]

@hugboxx

Because Metal is the only good type of music? Late reply, but still.

[kubeface]

@AshFordFocus i feel sorry for you. that's not in any way an insult towards metal, it's my sympathy for any fool that limits themselves to just a single genre. if you consider yourself a lover of music at all, all you are doing is depriving yourself.

hopefully you'll grow up soon and realize that.

[AshFordFocus]

@kubeface

Or rather the fact that I only like the said type of music, as 'most' isn't just fake, or made on computers, and it's my opinion?

M'kay.

[kubeface]

@AshFordFocus you like metal because it's not "fake", or made on computers. yeah, you're a lost cause.

[skarbone1]

@hugboxx In Flames isn't generic. If you're looking for Generic, look up Cannibal Corpse.

[JackErrrrrrrrrr]

Nice video, great song, freaking win spell. Tip to all those warlocks out there. DEMONIC CIRCLE DOES NOT HAVE LOS ISSUES. Solution to all your pvp problems: Put demonic circle on something high up. ( This especially works well when you have people on you ) Jump off this high up thing when they hit you. They follow you off, you port back up, nuke em like nothing else.

[HonorableTheft]

:O brilliant

[WoWrulesyouall]

what is the name of the song?

[Kleriker91]

in flames - cloud connected ;)

[epicwater]

Nice, In Flames. :)

[PunkRock1337]

demonic circle is the best pvp spell ever, im a fckin mage i'd so trade mirror image for this, god damn. think of putting it on higher elevation when fighting melee. same with flag running, put it in the tunnel behind boots or on the roof and shit... so rape, lock will bring it out fast then pass it to a runner.

[halobum117]

u have blink, blink even has a shorter cooldown

[XclusiveFilms08]

in flames :)

[MetalinTheSky]

Darn, now locks will own me :P

[Keri1337]

Would fit perfect for nagrand arena.. ^^

[ssigma21]

Perfect for any arena...

I'm so unhappy this gonna be probably nerfed!!

[gonaki45]

Amaaaaazing! get ready for one of those in the middle on an arena.

[purepawntage]

hey all you other wow classes. if you thought fear was annoying wait until you see the new "piss every other class off" warlock weapon. lullz owned

[darko611]

haha  soo true

[easternwolf657]

lol to all the ignorant retards that having nothing better to do than criticize the music in home made WoW videos. pretty badass video, demonic circle looks fucking pro.

[ad270186]

omg. this move looks so cool. so glad i picked lock. only another 7 more levels to go.

Wandyy

Nagrand

[GoodByeNvr]

yah the songs by in flames

called cloud connected i thinks...

[Adaviri]

The only objective qualities that can be criticized when comparing genres is how complex it is/how hard it is to make, and even that is hard to determine; how do you determine the difficulty of inspiration?

The rest is just subjective opinion and taste. If someone likes a certain kind of music, it is good, and serves it's purpose.

In a nutshell, stop comparing genres on a good/bad axis.

[guitarist2413]

@Adaviri I disagree, how complex or hard something is to make has no impact on how good or bad a song is. I can think of many songs where I think the guitar riff would be hard has hell to play, but I'd never try cause it sounds like nothing more than a mangled mess of guitar strings

[Alh8inos]

wow thats nice,helpfull, but still only locks got it ...:/ GMs love locks

[minibleau]

when do u get that spell? or is it only 70.. coz its so useful... if your like flying to a main city and wana go back to training fast..

[aceindahole]

your an idiot. look at the tooltip

[Robb865]

um you get it at lvl 80 and it only has 40yd range

[Metallistener210]

Is the song by In Flames??

[lmasflowl]

some freaking stupid people think that the music they like everyone has to like it and nobody cant talk shit about it because they get mad so we are free to say that music sucks and what you going to do about it?

[Shamadamun]

umm... Who ever said they were trying to make you like their music?

I understand some people who are like "stfu, this music rocks" but in other cases, they are just putting in music they like because they think it makes the clip better. I mean really, who would put in music they hated? After all, it is their video

[pimpboy9009]

cool, demonic circle serve as blink

[lmasflowl]

thanks god for mute sound

[MentalSentinel]

agreed.

stupid emo music

[cursesaudio]

Genre recognition fail.

[csdust]

it's not emo, idiot.

[MentalSentinel]

-stupid harmony guitar melodies

-stupid depressing riffs

-stupid screaming singer

what other 'esthetic qualities' does emo music have?

[bry223]

If you really think this is emo you need to get out more, this is far from emo, the song is from In Flames, they debuted in 1993, wich is about the time "nu-metal" started, and the band was influenced by Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.

[Destruction3402]

It's melodic death metal (or more specific, "Gothenburg metal", also called "The Gothenburg sound"), and it's not nu-metal.

[halobum117]

people have listened to death metal long before emo was even thought of.

death metal sorta goes along with warlocks and death knights anyways

[PunkRock1337]

melodic death metal goes along with everything.

[TerrelCameron]

OMG FINNALY, a GOOD music track for wow video. Sick of that stupid rap music that doesn't even fit, wait, rap doesn't fit with anything.

Yes obvious troll is obvious

[perin11223]

@TerrelCameron

yeah man, cause rap is the only other genre of music then metal right? God youtube is so full of idiots.

[WoWhirons]

i used this while going under org, every time i fell off cos i did not make it...

i just casted it and i went back again with out losing any health and with out wasting any time getting back up there again...

[STUNTS1516]

hmm...im not sure so i have to as but this mean say if im off questing and i need to heartstone to say stormwind to get something outta bank quick could i potentialy leave a circle,port to sw visit bank and teleport back to my circle? cause that would be so much better.

[Xsifilad]

I dont think they will alow you to use this in WSG while runing with e flag, because it would be to OP, just like pala buble time makes you loose the flag or wen mounting. i REALY REALY hope they will alow you to teleport with the flag, but i think it wount be posibule. But a nice tactic is to go it, grab the flag, teleport upstairs to loose the tail (no one wil know were you teleported to), pass flag to a druid and you are almost outside, he will turn travel form and of he goes :) IMBA !!!

[halobum117]

it's got a range of 40 yds so it would basically be blinking.

[DarkHorse420]

So that means that in WSG warlocks have a button to press to get the leaf and be indoors (LOS in all directions), which is completely imba.

This needs a LOS restriction.

[trenabolx]

and pet is as always bugged... why cant they make it teleportable like warlock himself.

[darthedvin]

sick

[watahelllll]

uhm the distance of the next rank shall be increased

[stoliker]

dude, can anyone say WSG is now a warlock BG? seriously... grab flag port back.. holy shit..

[1H34DhUnT3r1]

not possible its 40y range

[kleomenid]

also it might drop flag

[XavielTheWarlock]

It has a 40yrd range. That's the same range as most ranged attacks.

The Line of Sight restriction would make this spell useless, and there's no need to nerf it.

I don't see why you would waste it porting to the healing hut, either.

The ONLY and ONLY use I've been able to use this for while running the flag, is to grab the flag, and port upstairs (or back downstairs) if people are chasing me. And it's totally fair.

[Oksedrap]

uuuuhm. What does this spell really do?

[idkofcorse]

its like a portal u summon it and they have a spell that sends you to your circle i think it destroys it and it only lasts 6 minutes

[mjordan1111]

its for pvp if u think bout it this will help a ass load against meele classes. if ur affli u c warr he charges u dot him with instants corr,COA,SL, instant howl of terror drain life for the hp he hit while u were dotting, use haunt or UA he charges again (intercept), u use this shit ur 40 yards away u can then use fear or haunt or UA. thats what i think u would do with this. peps who dissagre to diss on me 2 bad c ya.

[nesjejr]

40 yards range

Don't work on anything more that 40 yard!

And when u've used it, ur out of mana... Making the circle takes 15%, summing to it takes all u got.

Looks cool, but not so practical :(

[JoN69xD]

15% of base mana isnt a lot, also teleporting to it uses 100 mana. plus its up for 6 minutes.

[mjordan1111]

it takes up 600 MP out of the like 15000 i would assume in WOTLK o ya it goign to take all u got to summon newb...

[gangsteri92]

awesome vid, can som1 tell me what is that song?

[Samahnub]

Betcha they disable it for arena and raid instances.

[zaibabu]

would you happen to know the name of the song?

[alexcorban]

in flames cloud connected

[Klobernoger]

1 other great advantage this has over blink is that it doesn't suffer from LOS, very usefull in arena then imo

[terroar10]

blink is glitchy as hell, this isnt even comparable to blink other than you have to cast the portal before you get attacked if you want it to work

[pharesite]

wow, doesnt amaze me locks get cool moves now. I mena i have a warlock and its great, but we needed "cool" moves like mages. this would be awesome for questing and dungeons. so many possibilities.

[treyzure]

I'm gonna give this spell about a week into WotLK release before it gets nerfed to holy hell=/

[MrRichBoy6]

this is nice, i got a mage, and i love the blink, this is like similar, just takes preperation

[bobfordeez]

i bet this would be used quite often in arena :P

[miranger]

This is a 40y ability so just like he showed in the video for a smart lock this is godly :)

It has many potential advantages and if placed correctly it can reset a fight and what lock doesn't want that ;O

[phantasus187]

Thanks much :)

[phantasus187]

What's the name of the song?

[FlamnAzn]

Cloud Connected - In Flames

[Jimmezzz]

it will be pro if rogues go mutilate..

but against shadowstep its useless

[doomy1988]

I can't wait to abuse it in the arenas

[pocmes]

maybe it was said in the vid, but how long does the summoning spot stay there for and how far away can you use it from?

[murthag111]

the cirkle lasts 6 minutes and the spell has a 30 sec cooldown. I wish the circle would last forever and that you also got a spell with a 10 sec cast ofr out of combat use with a unlimited range

[tenkuchima]

this seems to be almost completely useless nice song choice though

[Erithramere]

Useless? We can now teleport away from rogues, like a mage can.

How is that useless?

Your comment was the only useless thing on this page :)

[tenkuchima]

yeah, if your within 40 yards of your circle, so great if you don't plan on going anywhere.

btw another useless thing on the page: you insulting me. douche bag

[Erithramere]

40 yards is great, wouldn't it be a bit too op if it was further? Blink is only 20 yards...

Oh insulting the idiots who don't fully understand what this spell could give warlocks, survivability wise, isn't a useless thing.

Atleast now you saw my comment, realised how stupid yours was and then replied to me, but with an even more useless comment :(

Oh well, some people are actually THAT stupid, but trust me you'll love it when you get it, if you play a lock

Best new wotlk lock spell

[tenkuchima]

actually, i realized the use of the spell a few minutes after I posted my comment, I'm not above admitting i was wrong. but believe it or not it had nothing to do with your comment.

the fact that you think your smarter than me because you can identify the use of a spell in a video game is laughable. If you think video game based knowledge is a good foundation for determining intelligence, you should just go kill yourself.

[applepie231]

ya i agree with erith it will also give a huge offensive ability to affliction warlock...giving them the ease to TP away and make room to get CoEX up and inflict massive dmg before the guy gets to you unless its a caster

[stinnnnnn]

can someone tell me if only the spells graphics are going to be improved? or all the game?

[Guppie666]

will be so OP in arena :P

[stoneand]

omfg :D cant wait!

[joshduarte6]

I forgot then they use sprint and i die:(

[joshduarte6]

This will be soooooo fun against rouges:D

gogogo

rouge saps me

i tele

:DDDDD

[thompson0491]

LOL I can imagine this is world PvP. Someone jumps you and you teleport at the last moment to the top of a pillar.

"Where the f*** did he go"

[kanine12]

oh wait i was wrong now i c what it does that pretty cool ^.^

[kanine12]

so its a lock blink....

[TerranasauresAlen]

lol WSG go to enemy base place on top floor jump down take flag and port back up

[Golemzzz]

wow , i already have 50 dots ticking on me and bolts bombing. And now they get a better ver of blink. should just quit now

[grabus45654]

LOl, Go QQ, And if you played Lock, You would know how hard it would be to try kill with them.

[Golemzzz]

yeah, come to think of i barely get killed by locks at all, but i still don't think locks should get this move. give them stronger moves, chaos bolt is looking to be really annoying but i think most locks are going to be demon (Metamorphosis) that move even looks cool to me, and i don't like mana classes = )

[damianakadeep]

lol, if this move is used correctly, shadowstep rogues are in trouble!

[crem100]

warlocks need another spells like... if u cast Seed or Shadow bolt spell, u will deal aditional 5.5k dmg on each dot or curse on the target ..... THIS is getting bad only locks r getting the new imba spells SS needs only 10 points now.. all locks specs will be with the SS on him now GG...

[Index51]

Thats fucking awesome. Is Demon Circle gonna be part of demo spec or just a reg skill?

[axelbrian25]

It would be cheap if u can use it in WSG lol just take flag tele back and u have the point =S

[Sanctum90]

40 yard range.

[ronrutherford]

On Beta you cannot see where the circle is placed any longer.

[Cipralexia]

what that do? i dont understand but looks cool ^^

[snattted]

basicly you have 2 spells: 1 that summons a circle, and one that teleports you to that very circle

[Svvadekk]

Can't break stun? WTF... I'm a sad panda :(

[Ukatanana]

God i want that ability ,looks awesome! :D

[Treefiddy188]

It's like Blink only better. Poor mages

[HardToFindGoodNames]

Can't be used while stunned. Can't see how that's better.

[Slavkod]

actualy it isnt better nor worse. Mage can blik out of stuns and roots and that shit while lock cant and its only 20 yards foward while locks has to be pre aranged but it has longer range and completly confuses an enemy.

[ppardo75]

I wonder if the demonic circle is viewable by others, or at least, by the opposing faction. Would not be cool if a hunter of the opposing faction could see it and put a trap in it.

[Watcher35]

well if they put it somewhere the hunter would have a hard time getting too, then i dont see that to be much of a problem.

[XunilArea52]

warlocks need a spell to get out of stun locking rogues.

[breastinspector2]

so that way they will no longer be able to be stopped by ANYTHING AT ALL!! AAHAHAAHAHAHH!!!

[MJHazel]

That's gonna make locks extremely valuable in WSG.

[HasselhoffRulez]

its gonna be restricted in wsg , im pretty sure

[osmin66]

how can it be restricted in wsg when mages can blink

[Vetrid]

this is good for raids to keep at casting range 'AND' Bgs! its awesome!

[squee789]

man im glad im a warlock :D

[Cerberous101]

word

[geoffreytracy]

Warlocks have it all :(

I wish shadow priests had something that was at LEAST half as cool as this spell :(

[OIdirtybastad]

should play lock :D

shadow priest can now regenerate 36% mana+ hp is that not enought?

[joshduarte6]

rofl well your a fUCKING SHADOW PRIEST

why dont you heal me like your made to do.

[cesarkillll]

Guys is only a 40 yard range, so even though is strong is not OP that we know off... We will see after more testing is done.

[ymererimba]

WoW now warlocks can kick ass in arenas !!

[yfzi]

like they dont already wtf btw 6 min cooldown so wont be able to use it sorry mate

[MichaelStevensG]

What the fuck are you even talking about? You are wrong on so many levels and I'm just going to point out how blatantly retarded you are without bothering to correct you.

[yfzi]

am talking about that telelport crap it has a 6 minute cooldown so you can't use it in arena... who's retarded now? btw nice holy pala video is it yours?

[Zaelers]

The buff lasts for 6 minutes, the CD is 30 seconds.

Who's retarded now?

[yfzi]

maybe misread it on mmo-champion but I don't see why people always get rude I was making a joke and he called me a retard what a wanker tbh. and that's imba btw like warlocks need more buffs /sigh /qq

[HazzHazzerd]

The Max for arena is 15 minutes, to summon the circle is .5 second cast, and last for 6 minutes while on a shorter cooldown. To teleport to the circle is instance cast 30 second cooldown.

So you fail.

[Laoruperteen18]

warlocks already own in arenas you nabcake XD

[Chaserbl]

give warlocks plate and we can finally start playing 1v5 in arena! :D

[buu700]

lol yeah its over in WSG if they dont drop flag wen they use it ^^

[kazuma191]

Hmmm Just out of curiosity is the circle itself killable?...because if so a warlock could be relying on his teleport and right when he thinks hes gonna do it...you kill the circle and laugh as he goes OMG!!!...BTW I am a warlock this spell looks like a fun spell i can screw around with x.x

[towren]

I do hope the WSG flag gets dropped when this spell is used...otherwise you might as well let pallies run in pick up and bubble out with it for 40 yards

[innerchild191]

WSG? - wtf?

[elsybe]

lol out of the players with over 2k arena rating, only 5% are warlocks. We (warlocks) die to fast, we really needed a true defensive un-nerfed-yet (check Fear) spell. So rogues, stop whining, you get shadow dance.

[luvhogger]

I <3 it, melee classes are mostly a nightmare if they know what there doin, this just gives more of a chance to do something other then sit there stunned or practically crawling with posion/hamstring

[sparkkrieg]

Wow... how much will this be abused in arenas :P

[Tokagawa]

that should be for mages...how lame

[dougpecklord]

many people saying this is more OP than blink. not nessercerily. cuz blink also removes stun and immobalization

[fullhalfstop]

this gonna be a ballbuster in arena

[VACKSORE]

This is like "Reversed blink" :D

[testtube173]

this is bad news for rogues and whats the distance of this also?

[uRaDipShit1635]

that is so fucking cheap the get something similar to blink??? they were overpowered enough as it is

[HardToFindGoodNames]

You living Pre-TBC, or?

[TemprancePL]

Whats the name of the song?

[V4SZ]

40yds... no los.... seems like a pure pvp skill?

[iLiekUndead]

lol this'll pwn in BGs... you'll be liek omg i'm about to get wtfpwnd oh wait! I'll just use my demonic circle and *blink* (those guys that tried to wtfpwn u) wth!? where is he? omfg! GHEY! and u'll be laughing at them 60 yards away haha... pretty kewl.

[V4SZ]

its just 40yds, and if it does work as a blink you can be stunlock and this will be very useless.

and rogues will remain OP.

[toychristopher]

rogues mace spec got nerfed at least. Be thankful for little things.

[Jalynfein1]

Who ever said destro is the way to go for a Warlock in wotlk haven't checked the late talents for affliction. You can now be full affliction and still have soul link. Even though soullink is nerfed with no%5 extar damage and less damage reduction it's still a nice buff for 1 point. And it's in a place in demonology you feel you can spare a point for it.

As for this talent I now drool over the possibilities. What's the maximum range to this?

[setchemati]

Dang mate if you could run into ally base and drop that next to flag your home free or 1 at your base and then run in get flag and port out!

[gekko56]

youll drop flag -.-

[oPimpStero]

Lol, i admit, Its a very nice skill, Grats locks.

But, why do you hate us Rogues? Because we always get ya. And we will work our way around this too.

Keep those Fel Hunters out ;)

[Zibod]

Paranoida is getting swapped with a int/spirit buff and the voidwalker is getting one or 2 more anti physical skills so there will be lots more voids against rogues if anything :p.

[shadowzeal]

the lock vs rogue issue has been around since world of roguecraft....damn ur rogues!!!

[jongdetim]

this will be so nice in arena, mage casting pyroblast on you and you cant stop him? use this and you'll be LoS or too far away, also nice for teleporting behind a pillar in arena and bandaging

... damn i need to level first aid :S

[Trubadidudei]

This will no doubt be EXTREMELY usefull in both PVP and PVE encounters, but what i find most exiting about this ability is the versatility of it's uses. Put this in the hands of the warlock community, and there's no telling what they are gonna do, the amount of fun that is possible to have with this thing is just limitless. ESPECIALLY because of it's ability to port locks THROUGH obstacles to an UNKNOWN location (for the ennemy). I mean, the prankster potential is HUGE, and world pvp even more.

[jongdetim]

totally, and very nice if you screw up a pull.

or when you try to attack somebody and a rogue pops up and you need to gtfo fast :P
