You can't pummel in battle...Personally I wish they'd revisit the whole 10% more dmg in zerker stance crap and take pummel/shield bash off the gcd and I'd be 100% happy with warriors. (even if I do spend 50% of any arena game cc'ed)

None of the enormously totally supremely retarded :

-> Cant Pummel when not in Berzerk
-> Cant Overpower when not in Battle
-> Cant Antifear when not in Berzerk
-> Not Tanking = No Rage = No Aggro
-> Better Armor = Less Damage = Less Rage = Less Aggro
-> Total Absence of Aggro Weapons

Having to press 3 keys to "interrupt" isnt skill, its stupidly implemented twiching.

So yes, EQ's warrior while much more limited, less powerfull/polyvalent than WoW's was a lot more natural/enjoyable.

You actually managed to cause my brain to recoil in shock. This thread has more revisionist history in it than anything I've ever seen on the interweb.

And for what it's worth, I preferred Pitfall Harry's controls to Furor. Left, right, jump. Can't get more natural than that... It's up there next to twirling a pencil on my fingertips and brushing my hair.

Well strictly talking pve I wish WoW's warrior had an aoe taunt that wasn't on a 10 minute cooldown and no thundercrap doesn't count.

they can't do that because they've designed themselves into a hole (in this case pally tanking). it's not a bad hole, and maybe they wanted to dig it themselves, but it's still a hole. you'll never get real ae taunt as a warrior.

Deathwing · 03-11-2008, 07:55 AM

Hmmm, you're right, can't pummel in battle stance. Been too long since I played my warrior, take back what I said. Still can create macros to make it easier:

/cast [nostance:3] Berserker Stance; [stance:3] Pummel

Just mash that button since changing stance doesn't cause GCD on abilities, might as well be just one key press.

EDIT: Holy shit, you guys were so stupid that you lured Furor out of hiding.

Draegan · 03-11-2008, 07:55 AM

This thread definitely delivers.

Vatoreus · 03-11-2008, 08:00 AM

Yes it does. Warriors can *quite easily* tank 4+ mobs at a time so long as your DPS understands the concept of "SKULL = ATTACK." It's tough to master, granted, but once they do it's all cherry pies and blowjobs. Here's me fucking up in Shadow Lab: jejejej.mpg - FileFront.com

7 elites, 1 normal. I think I lose aggro twice or some shit, to no serious consequence, to stupid bullshit that I should have been doing better anyway. Oh yeah, the paladin? Hit 70 the day before, had 1001 healing. You want a challenge, 8+ mobs as a warrior is a challenge and starting to tread into Paladin territory. There are *no* pulls with 8+ mobs in them anywhere in any instance period, cept for the hundred troll march in ZF and the adds spawned in Archaedas.

Thunderclap made AE tanking so easy sauce it fucking hurts. Before you actually had to have some common fucking sense to understand how cleave worked and why sunder on a global GCD was absolutely crucial. Now I'm pretty sure my left testical could faceroll the keyboard and tank any instance about as well as I can.

Vatoreus · 03-11-2008, 08:28 AM

I have to say, the most fun I've had in WoW was playing warrior and tanking a ton of shit. Warlock was boring, rogue was boring, mage was boring, but Warrior was fun. I personally enjoy the stance dance mechanic, as it makes you actually feel like your actively doing something the whole time.

Daezuel · 03-11-2008, 08:29 AM

Because SL is serious business.

You've been saving that until Furor showed up.

Admit it.

Aamina · 03-11-2008, 08:32 AM

Not like this thread was going anywhere important. Now we can talk about who's doing what as a result of FP showing up, and why he did.

Neric · 03-11-2008, 08:41 AM

WTF did Furor just post something?

Zehn - Vhex · 03-11-2008, 09:01 AM

He probably sensed that the amount of retardation you three were channeling might have released the seal holding Sam da man in his eternal prison.
