A warrior's pain

Gares of War — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 11:43

         So, I have been waiting for all of these "grand" changes to the warrior talent tress.  So far I have only been impressed with Fury, I find arms to be a lawl tree and, while I am sure they mean well, have done little to fix its many problems.  Protection was on a good road, but then they felt threatened by removal of the Blessing of Salvation (by their own whims) they are too busy trying increase damage and threat, thatour rage mechanic will suffer the SAME ridiculous problems it faced in the first expansion.

         This is just a rant, I may try to fix it up and place it in a less trolled aspect of the forums.

ARMS

It was originally a pvp tree with some 2 hander emphasis.  I fear Blizzard has no idea what they want to have in this tree.  I still think rend is useless and nany attempt to give us a useful bleed buff effect in tier one has been rejected I believe 5 times.

For what the second tier is worth, I feel it is alright, I find it odd that it lacks any form of dps buff and it is for grinding and tanking.

 Tier 3 is fine.  I still think overpower and rend synergy needs work. 

One of the most sorry switches was the removal of stalwart defender (Rage gained from parry and blocks) and the addition in the arms try of Justified killing.  Come now, how many times do you parry in arenas or pvp, furthermore, in a PVE setting, you will be killed if you tank (unless you are Gares).  I find a tanking rage buff in arms to be ridiculous.

Tier 5 is fine.  Mace with armor reduction defeated its use in pvp.  I find that to be counter intuitive, but the change may be useful for the pvp gear wearers you fight.

Gares down, but not out

Gares of War — Tue, 07/08/2008 - 07:15

So I have received a few e-mails about my disappearance from WoW.  I did not leave, I did not quit.  My computer is still down.  I was dumb and did not clean the motherboard fan and it twisted in such a way that dropped garreth's jaw to the floor.  I will try to be back when I can.

If you wish to chat, I can be found on IRC. . .sometimes; depending how busy work is on a given day.

My Journey through Idiocracy

Gares of War — Mon, 06/23/2008 - 11:21

            Occasionally, I like to go out, walk, and reflect.  Typically, I go to public places, and on my sojourns I come across people of great ignorance, ASTOUNDING stupidity.  I am not unfamiliar with such people and situations.  I worked for Target Stores during highschool as well as through half my undergraduate studies.  I have seen the essence of stupid; might even say I found a large cache of motes of stupid that can be combined for primal stupid.  I have often wondered if the movie, Idiocracy, was far off.

            Since my computer is down, I went out yesterday for exercise and sight seeing, well something other than Dr. Who and Ninja Warrior.  I saw post graduating high schoolers at least who did not fully understand the "I before E except after C".  Now, I tried to dismiss the larger guy, he obvious had too much going with dressing up as the highlander and talking about how his newest First Person Shooter was just like using a real rifle.  But it pained me that such a simple rule was lost on them, I mean it is a rule that explains WHAT YOU DO!  They later discussed how their teachers couldn't describe it to them and could not give them examples.  I facepalmed after that.

Who is the strongest?

Gares of War — Mon, 02/25/2008 - 12:33

I was curious on how high a level elite people have managed to solo.  I have discovered I can fight a lvl 69 giant elite in netherstorm by myself.  I was curious if anyone has a monster they can beat for their claim to fame.

Ten Reasons Why the Death Knight Is The Best Class In The Game

Gares of War — Fri, 02/15/2008 - 09:45

Also, the ten reasons why the death knight is the best class in the game,

1.) They eat ham.

2.) I believe they have fists made of a type of pork.

3.) They can't use a shield, so they will never be asked to tank.
Since the druid has the shieldless tank job.

4.) Swords

5.) More swords

6.) They do cool stuff, if my imagination is right,.

7.) They are not loot whores by default.

8.) I am 57% sure people who play deathknights will not go emo.
