The Care and Feeding of Warriors (http://www.wow.com/category/the-care-and-feeding-of-warriors/) is about warriors, those lovable, squeezable, strokeable bundles of pure joy who seethe with a burning inner fire, a rage that can only be quenched in blood. Matthew Rossi (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/matthew-rossi/) tries quenching it in delicious caffeinated beverages. You'd be surprised how often that works.
Words. Sometimes they fail us, seem inadequate to the task in some way. Very often the fault lies not in the words but we who poorly choose them. So it feels to me today, looking back at yesterday's analysis of the Cataclysm preview for warriors (http://www.wow.com/2010/04/08/cataclysm-class-changes-warrior-analysis). When one commenter accuses you of taking kickbacks from Blizzard to whitewash changes and another calls you a whiner, you can either decide that you're doing something right or take the opportunity to go over it all again in hopes that this time your message will be more clearly understood. And since I simply can never shut up, I'm going with option #2.
It helps that we had several posts of clarifications and elaborations from the folks at Blizzard to examine. I want to stress up front, again, that while I'm not farting rainbows over every change thus far, I'm very much willing to give lots of slack to the developers as they attempt to redesign rage and revamp old mechanics for the state of the game five years after launch. In many ways, Cataclysm is a huge undertaking, dwarfing previous expansions in both scale and complexity, so bumps are to be expected on the way. So let's take a look at the new information.Continue reading The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Cataclysmic (http://www.wow.com/2010/04/09/the-care-and-feeding-of-warriors-cataclysmic/)
