Spirit Change and Warlocks

#0 - March 4, 2010, 5:58 p.m.

One thing that I haven't see Blizz mention about the stat change is how the Spirit change will effect Warlocks.

For most Demonology and Destruction Warlocks, we get 69 out of every 100 Spirit converted into Spell Power (Demonic Aegis, Fel Armor, and Glyph of Life Tap). It's a little less for Affliction Warlocks who don't have the Demonic Aegis talent but my point is the same.

In Cataclysm, will Walocks' Fel Armor and Glyph of Life Tap still give Spell Power from Spirit, or will both be changed? A lot of Warlocks, like myself, go after gear with Spirit (non-mp5) sometimes because it's a DPS buff. If Blizz doesn't change Fel Armor and Glyph of Life Tap then us Warlocks might have a problem on our hands.

The purpose of this post is mainly to get a Blue post in here and help ease some of my concerns for the future of my class. I would rather not have wild speculation from other users (which seems to be a common trend in this forum) but something a bit concrete.

You won't rely on spirit the way you do now, and therefore will not have any need for it.

Q u o t e:

Sort of a roundabout answer, I'm assuming it will just take a bit away from our int rather than spirit, is what you mean

Also, first

I stated what I meant. Spirit will no longer be a component for the warlock in Cataclysm.
