I've been slowly puttering my way threw the first expansion to StarCraft 2, Heart of the Swarm. I probably could have beaten it faster, but it's not often something comes out that I've been looking forward to as much as this expansion and I wanted to savor it. While the first StarCraft 2 game focused on the terran race. More specificlly Jim Raynor and his quest to save Kerrigan and stop the Dominion. That's a super abridged version, I'm trying not to give away anything in case you've made the horrible mistake of not playing yet. Anyway Heart of the Swarm focuses on the Zerg race and Kerrigan. The story for Heart of the Swarm was great. I kept me interested the entire way threw. I never felt like things were dragging or that their was was just filler. My only complaint would be that it was relatively short. I managed to take about a week to beat this but if I would have just sat down and played it would have been done way sooner. On the same not you have to r...

Warlocks The Warlock has 3 different skills trees. Affliction, Demonology, and Destruction. The three skill trees: Affliction: Basically DoT damage and right now the highest warlock damage output. While slowly taking your opponent things like soul siphon, life siphon and deaths embrace help keep you up and running. Demonology:  Boosts your demons damage and gives you the Metamorphosis ability. Great for soloing and your best best bet for surviving when everything is going wrong around you. Destruction: Direct-damage. What you choose if you like fire. Spells like Chaos Bolt help provide you're highest nuke damage. For when you need damage now and can't wait around and wait for DoTs to take your opponent out.
