Judging from the title, I thought for sure this was going to be about you manning up and paying off your collegiate loans. But no, only about a video game, riveting.

Grats, put that on your resume.

Well technically, we are on a video game fan forum... so don't be too surprised if people talk about video games. If you want to talk about collegiate loans, you may want to try other, more serious forums.

No no no, don't thank me, I was glad to help. You can put that new knowledge on your resume

The reality is that warriors suck, period. My DK literally rolls any warrior that dares come up against me, which is a complete reversal from WOTLK, when a DK could not kill a warrior for anything.


The tragedy is that all those warriors wised up and now they are all rolling DK's, which overpopulates us even more


Even the kings of PVP (mages) don't fare well, now that DK's are truly the anti-mage class.


DK's are going to get nerfed to oblivion. You heard it here first.


They destroyed paladins, now they've destroyed warriors...apparently some loser at blizzard got butthurt one time too many by a plate class.


Long story short, I empathize with your pain Trigeminal.


By the way, if any of your patients play a worgen (of any class), would you do me a favor and give them a long, slow, extremely painful root canal? Its like every terribad pvp'er in the world rolled a worgen of some type and they are causing alliance to quit showing up to TB.


That'd be great kthx.



Classes aside, most people in PvP are completely lost.. so the class really doesnt matter. I drop warriors all the time with Warlock, and according to the message boards warriors are the hardest class for me to kill.


I do feel for warriors on this one though, the only chance warriors have is to get within mellee range.

This is a pretty big nerf to pvp warriors. You already had to use both charge and intercept to catch anyone competent because of the jump bug with charge. This ranks right up there with not allowing ferals to shift out of roots. Pvp is generally what I do most in game while waiting on resets, and the sweeping nerfs/changes with every patch are getting to be old hat. I'm finding less and less reason to log in.

PvP in WoW sucks now and always has - they never really get it right since it's an afterthough, and being a largely PvE game it's hard for them to balance PvP without screwing up PvE, and vice versa. Not to mention it's a completx game and balancing PvP in MMOs is always tough.


So I guess what I'm saying is that prioritizing PvP as your play of choice would seem to always lead one to disappointment regularly.


I play all 10 classes and they've all been thoroughly mutilated over the years, especially with cata. OP/"nerf" states come and go and hop around between classes. It's just part of evolution.


In this case, it seems like the change wouldn't be so bad if it was tied to a fix that didn't leave you away from your charge/intercept target.

I second this. How many PvE instances are there? How many PvP instances are there? I dont think a one for one matching is a reasonable expectation, but I have been running the same PvP instances for almost five years now.


A while back Blizzzard finally itemized gear and provided an avenue to get PvP gear via PvPing, and that was excellent and Blizzard has done greate job increasing access to PvP, but they need to add more content, or just flipping two of the ones they have might be fun. How about an AV were the two sides flipped?

I honestly think Blizzard is just trolling us with all of these sweeping changes. They are making HUGE sweeping changes like that to several classes... and then the next day they take it back. I'll admit the warrior one has been on the table for a long time now. But they can't possibly let that go live.

The way they try and balance is ridiculous. Rather than small little changes to see how it goes they will tilt the entire class over and change 2 major things at once... and then when they find out it's too much they tilt it allll the way back the other way.

I swear I hope we wake up and find out the cata as just a dream

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*
