Dal, you ever think about being a game designer? Seriously, your suggestions on how to fix MS were perfect. The idea of "Defender's Rage" was also great. Or you could sell yourself as a third-party consultant to MMORPG's :) It's sad that you are offering your services free to Blizzard and they are just ignoring you. I hope Pardo and his crew realize the mistakes they are making.

Read the whole thing and it was an excellent read. Though I profess I know nothing of the high-end warrior game (my highest is like 14) every one of your arguements i've read has been well thought out, analyzed, and backed up with numbers and experiences. It's a welcome change from the constant "omfg they fubared warriors !!11!!11!!one"
It really is too bad that Blizzard is choosing to ignore (seemingly at least) the true gems that can be found in gaming communities.

Well written! I think defensive rage is an awesome idea as well! Hope someone from blizz takes note!

having taken a warior up to lvl 32 during the open beta, and more importantly having played it through both patches, your suggestions make perfect sense. i can not begin to explain how aggrivated i am with the class in its current state. i rarely find myself out of battle stance, because there is no reason to be. i dont know, i could go on forver on this. i would just like to acknowledge your thoughts and compliment you on a job well done, hopefully they... or rather he, will listen this time.

It was better than doing psychology ANOVA's and post hoc comparisons 8)

Debating the semantics of what I said doesn't change the validity of the concept. For all I care make it an aura so that only 1 warrior can have it active at a time.

Excellant writeup... actually read the whole thing. I am just hoping bliz gets around to fixing these issues. Right now is when everyone is expecting the changes and up in arms that they arent fixing them... but they made their own bed by revamping the whole class 2 weeks prior to release... and now they dont have time to fix it. I'll play the devils advocate by saying I understand why they arent tweaking classes at the moment as there are far more important issues to deal with as less than a week remains until this 4-year project finally hits the shelves. Honestly there would be a lot more bitching if severe lag and frequent restarts plagued the servers than if the warriors arent fixed immediately. I still have faith in bliz even though Eno made these retarded changes. He stance has always been that people havent adapted and thats why they dont like them... but now that people have adapted... and still dont like them... something needs to be done. They have taken in so much feedback from testers that I am sure they wont leave warriors in the crapper too long. All we can do in the interum is continue to post/rant about the changes and most important of all, clearly identify the probelms and suggest feasible fixes. The outcry of warriors will get MUCH sooner a month or two into release when a large population is reaching 60, pvping a lot, and getting rocked. People dont typically take action regarding an issue until it affects them. Once this is felt... stuff will happen, and as always, its nice to have Dal at the helm.
One more thing... in regards to MS... change it more simply... just make the dmg proportional to the DPS... then you dont have to mess with rage cost, recast time, etc. This will make weapons like Destiny, and Rivendare's Runeblade very sought after.

I don't plan on rolling a warrior but ive been as wrapped up in the "awesome changes" with the warrior as anyone that last few weeks and loved your article! It would be great to get some Indalamar testing and feedback on todays changes.

plz stay horde btw :)=
Im more pissed then before they should go to the warrior with infight charge and then change things from this point but the assholes ignore us anyway.
They answer treads like "My gf plays wow" and ignore every tread in Class forums. I want to play horde and a plate class but warrior sucks ok then ill play alliance !
