New warrior ability: Call of War

Posted 10-29-2009 at 03:04 AM by Zellviren

[Wish I could post this to the US forums where the developers might actually see it. >.<]

After going through Ghostcrawler's post on "Hybrid tax", I wanted to share a notion that hit me and may get missed by those who read a bit of the mentioned thread and ignored the rest, or who simply didn't click it for having the notion "not again"...

Basically, the argument is that hybrids must have a form of performance tax in order to make sure pures...

Fall of the Spell Weaver

Posted 03-24-2009 at 10:47 PM by Zellviren

At last.

It took a while (15 wipes, I think), but we finally got him after two nights of effort; Malygos, the monkey on our back throughout this content, has gone down.

And it was a wonderful feeling when he did.

Nothing really compares to downing a raid boss with people who are your friends and who have put into it what you have. When he was at about 10% health, with less than a minute to go and we had everyone alive, I just started laughing and didn't stop...

The gulf widens - this is absurd

Despite my erstwhile blog stating that warriors weren't quite so bad, I've just been looking over the patch notes.

It makes for pretty frightening reading if you're a warrior.

We already know that protection loladins are outperforming protection warriors in all regards. In burst TPS, single target TPS, multi-mob TPS, overall DPS and, finally, durability, the protection loladin is superior.

This is not QQ. It is a proven fact. And I'm equally disinterested...

Why take a protection warrior?

Posted 03-13-2009 at 09:38 AM by Zellviren

With 3.1 almost upon us and with me having played through virtually all of the content thus far, I figure I should quickly write down my views on the above question because it pops up frequently in both my own head and on numerous tanking related forums dealing with warriors. Things are likely to change around a bit in the aftermath of 3.1, so now seems as good a time as any to establish why you would take a protection warrior to a raid.

Yes, I believe warriors and druids are currently...

Now, I’ve read a great deal regarding this topic and it seems to be up on the news for today regarding patch 3.1; yes, I’m talking about stance dancing and the penalties that go with it. The source of Ghostcrawlers comments, if you missed it, can be found here:

It’s worth a read if you have the time, as there are a lot of particularly valid points raised throughout the discussion. However, one post...
