Totally misleading Warrior skills
Posted 06-23-2009 at 11:40 AM by Mindy
What we've got here are skills that sound like they should do something, but in fact, go another route.
The culprits so far:
Devastate
What I expected: Totally overwhelm your target with a powerful swing of your weapon of choice, leaving your foe helpless. Cause you know, it's a devastating attack.
What I got: Attack at half strength and subsequent attacks hit a tiny bit harder.
Endless Rage
What I expected: Allows you to use your abilities forever. Endless right? HULK SMASH
What I got: Now I can generate a lil bit more rage on white hits? Can't you make that green?
Execute
What I expected: Kill your target. No questions asked. GG NO RE (cookie if you know where this is from)
What I got: An attack that should be overlooked in PvE DPS rotations almost all the time.
Mortal Strike
What I expected: A strike so powerful there is no way your foe could recover. A mortal wound is fatal isn't it?
What I got: You swing a little harder, but your enemy can still recover from it, 50% slower.
Titan's Grip
What I expected: Gain the strength of the titans themselves, being able to pick up even huge boulders with ease. Dual wield 2H weapons? More like dual wield 2 gnomes wielding two 2H weapons amirite?
What I got: Allows you to use 2 2H weapons at 90% efficiency.
Rampage
What I expected: Rampage. Killing spree. Ultra kill. Become the one-man killing machine.
What I got: Your crits let everyone else hit harder.
Juggernaught
What I expected: Makes you an unstoppable force. Immune to all sorts of snares, roots, stuns, etc. Cause you're the juggernaught bi...um, yeah.
What I got: Allows you to charge even after an enemy looks at you the wrong way, but such effort makes you exhausted, increasing the time between rapidly closing in an enemy.
Anger Management
What I expected: Allows you to control your rage, even possibly store rage in reserve. Also sounds like I'd be able to keep my cool during a wipefest.
What I got: Just makes me more angry even if I'm not in combat. And I'm still P.O.ed during wipefests.
Heroic Strike
What I expected: A glorious swing of your weapon that reeks of awesomesauce. Your target would surely know you are a worthy foe.
What I got: It does a little more damage, and now your target is REALLY pissed.
Gag Order
What I expected: A pseudo-BDSM ball gag you could shove into the mouth of your target, forcing him/her into submission.
What I got: Makes him/her shut up for 3 seconds.
By the way, I'm just screwing around.
