Patch 5.4 PTR: Warlock class mounts get green fire
It's been a while since warlocks finally, finally got what their blackened hearts desired -- the ability to tinge their spells with the verdant fire of fel magic. And now, at last, as Adriacraft shows us in the video above, the fel corruption has spread to their mounts. I have to say, my long-standing preference for the Felsteed over the Dreadsteed remains unchanged. I think this looks great with the green fire as opposed to its usual orange hue, and particularly for those locks who play specs where they don't cast many spells affected by the green fire, this is a great change. What's your take on it? Do you like them now, or did you like them better before? Be kind, by all accounts it's not easy being green. I wonder whether the Dreadsteed will leave a trail of green fire when it does its water-walking trick now...
Warlock 'green fire' quest delayed until Patch 5.2
If you're a warlock and you've been eagerly anticipating Patch 5.1 and the upcoming quest to gain green fire effects to your spells, you're going to have to wait a bit longer.Lead Designer Dave Kosak tweeted today that the quest has been bumped to patch 5.2. So, sorry if you're a warlock player waiting for this, but apparently the current plan is 'to do it all in patch 5.2' rather than delay it over several patches. So the bad news is no green fire today, but the good news is, when patch 5.2 drops you'll get it all in one gulp. Mists of Pandaria is here! The level cap has been raised to 90, many players have returned to Azeroth, and pet battles are taking the world by storm. Keep an eye out for all of the latest news, and check out our comprehensive guide to Mists of Pandaria for everything you'll ever need to know.
New scenarios datamined in Patch 5.1
Patch 5.1 is bringing us a heap of new content, and some of that new content is scenarios. MMO-Champion has datamined out a series of new scenario maps (including that snazzy Black Temple map above) many of which are involved with the new PvP hub in Krasarang Wilds. The Black Temple map, however, seems to me to be a likely place for us to finally get that warlock green fire they've been talking about doing forever. I have no idea if it is or not: it does seem likely that the Eye of the Storm we're hearing so much about has something to do with this scenario as well. We also have maps for a Vol'jin scenario, no idea what that will be yet but it seems to be related to this intensely spoiler-filled audio file that you shouldn't click on if you don't want spoilers. Did I mention the spoilers? Cause wow are they there. Looks like we'll be going back to the Black Temple, waging war on Pandaria, and engaging in all sorts of antics in scenarios once Patch 5.1 drops. Mists of Pandaria is here! The level cap has been raised to 90, many players have returned to Azeroth, and pet battles are taking the world by storm.

Warlock's green fire is not coming at release in MoP, no timetable
While green fire is something that Blizzard wants to do for warlocks in Mists of Pandaria, it's been clarified that it won't be coming with Mists release after all. More so, there is no timetable for the release of green fire, meaning it's best to just keep it in the back of your head as something cool but not expected. This is no doubt a disappointment for many, especially for warlocks when combined with the news from last night that a demonology tanking spec isn't in the cards. It is, however, important to keep in mind that Blizzard still has done a lot with the warlock class, and all is not lost. There's a ton of changes to the way each spec will be played, and the talent revamp only has a few holdovers from current-day methodology. The full blue post clarifying this situation after the break.
