Choose the adventures of the WoW.com staff as we level our characters in <It came from the Blog> on US Zangarmarsh-H.
First, our schedule:
Please comment below with suggestions for how you would like Selfloathius to bring about his own death. Vote up the ones you like best and we'll make a poll of the most popular ones. The polls for all three warlock talent trees are on the next page.
Our three warlocks are all at or near the point where they need to choose their talent trees for leveling. I spoke to
Dominic Hobbs, our resident 'lock expert, and he said:
Belt must be made to play affliction. If he goes destro he's not trying to be a 'lock at all!
But it's not up to Mr. Hobbs. It's up to you.
Choose Selfloathius's talent tree| Affliction | 1384 (47.6%) |
|---|
| Destruction | 477 (16.4%) |
|---|
| Demonology | 1045 (36.0%) |
|---|
Choose Sahko's talent tree| Destruction | 720 (26.4%) |
|---|
| Demonology | 1366 (50.1%) |
|---|
| Affliction | 642 (23.5%) |
|---|
Choose Yakkowakko's talent tree| Demonology | 788 (28.9%) |
|---|
| Destruction | 1247 (45.8%) |
|---|
| Affliction | 689 (25.3%) |
|---|
Polls close on Sunday and results will be up along with next week's schedule on Monday.

Selfloathius should make a level 1 alliance avatar, run to Stormwind and spam abuse at people for at least half an hour before telling them his horde toon's location ("come and get me if you dare"), logging back in and pvp flagging.

Playing Demonology seems like it would be crueler to a Mage.

Meta-Morphasis
ftw

I feel a little bad for making Belt play a warlock, so I almost voted for Destruction.
But then I realized how ironic it would be to make Belt use his imp minion, which can cast his beloved Fireball while is stuck with Shadow Bolt.
Namy May 14th 2010 6:44PM
I voted Destruction! I think it was due to the slight guilt I felt for voting that Archmage Pants play a warlock in the first place :P When he becomes ruler we will all be punished in bad ways for this :( Maybe he'll set his new minions on us!

Lies! You giggled a little when you cast the vote for Warlock!
Don't worry, Mr. Belt. Affliction is the only tree for the mage that plays a warlock. You won't have an imp mocking you with it's fiery spells.
Matthew May 14th 2010 8:43PM
I voted for them all to be affliction warlocks cuz i'm sadistic.
Natsumi May 15th 2010 3:56AM
I voted Mr. Trousers to be Affliction cause it will pain him.
I voted Sahko to be Affliction cause it will cause pain to others.
I voted Yakkowakko Affliction cause it wouldn't be the animainiacs without Dot.
:)

Natsumi, you are a genius. Have my children.
Piisuke May 15th 2010 9:58AM
Natsumi, your comment about Yakkowakko was well spotted.
You deserve +1 Internet for this.
Maymer May 14th 2010 6:48PM
Death by the power of Lethal Orangutan Violent Eating....or L.O.V.E
It's a self loathing monster's worse enemy
Quaza May 14th 2010 6:50PM
A warlock, a druid, and someone else open the lock portal on the edge of Dalaran, and have the druid (flight form) initiate the summoning of Belt over the edge. Watch as Belt goes SPLAT in Crystalsong forest (and then die to level 77 mobs trying to get back to safety).
I'm a mage and I approve this message.
aramis May 14th 2010 8:03PM
I'm a Druid. And I approve of this message.
:D
Swifteye May 14th 2010 10:31PM
... I can't in good conscience make a suggestion after this. If they do NOT use this method, the entire experiment will be epic fail.
souvlaki May 14th 2010 6:58PM
Affliction, because... let's make him discover a new world beyond 111211121112
Tooay May 14th 2010 7:14PM
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. A mage's rotation isn't anything like this, and before you start saying anything about it, you should know wtf you're saying.
It's 111121111211112.
Kurash May 14th 2010 7:12PM
Why are so many people picking affliction for Selfloathius? Aren't we supposed to make his warlock experience as painful as possible?
Level as destro, IMO! I love it at high levels, but man it was not fun leveling through vanilla content.
Moorit May 16th 2010 10:29AM
The advantage of affliction for Pants is that after a certain point it's really, really hard to kill yourself. I tried once to let my aff warlock die so I could switch to my main (a mage - yes, I'm a traitor) and after three minutes she was still at full health. The spec cancels out any self-destructive tendencies, and we already know he loathes himself.
Tyr May 14th 2010 7:17PM
Too bad there's no emo talent tree for poor Archmage Pants :(
Balmazer May 15th 2010 6:57PM
I'm sure he'll be at 1hp the whole time from life tap to alleviate the lack of an emo spec.
