The Care and Feeding of Warriors is about tree sloths. Why do you do this to me? We all know it’s about warriors as written by an extremely hairy man who crouches in a dark corner of his apartment muttering about block value vs block rating until his wife hits him with the hose. Matthew Rossi fears the hose. Completely unrelated to anything even tangentially warrior in WoW: Dragon Skin Armor . We’re one step closer to gigantic magical battle axes being viable in modern warfare. Since it’s a holiday in the States (which I’m from, although not currently residing in) and because I’ll take any excuse to gorge myself on turkey flesh and loll around in a swollen food coma (like, say, last week, when I used the fact that I’d washed red clothing with white clothing and now have a lovely pair of bright pink underwear and I don’t care if you know ) I thought this week we could compile a list of things we, as warriors, can be grateful for. If it’s really an issue for you, assume it’s Pilgrim’s Bounty of something. Anyway, let’s you and I get our best grateful faces on (that’s me being grateful up there, in case you couldn’t tell) and discuss things we as warriors can appreciate. Charge / Intercept / Intervene – I’m not sure what people in Azeroth actually pray to when they pray to the Light… it seems like an abstract benevolence slightly akin to the Force from the Star Wars series…but whatever it is, thanks for Charge and its iterations, boy howdy. No other ability can be seen to be as iconic and representative of a class (only Death Grip and Totems come close) as the warrior ability to get from point A to point B in order to put point C into something, or prevent point D from going into that helpful person in a leather miniskirt or what have you.

Very often, what seem to be class balance issues or problems with a class or spec aren’t, in fact, problems with that class/spec at all. They are instead consequences of encounter design or gearing issues. One example of this is the current state of the DPS warrior: on paper, there’s nothing really tremendously wrong with either arms or fury for DPS in PvE content. Having used arms to great success in PvP recently, I sat down and really looked at what was hampering me when I switched to it for PvE DPS, and the problems I found seemed to be as follows.

Here is a great article all about The Care and Feeding of Warriors: How to get hit in the face

The Care and Feeding of Warriors is our weekly column about pie baking competitions. No, no, I’m just kidding you, it’s about warriors, be their tanky or DPS. Matthew Rossi is feeling fine after a solid month of near continuous beatings from various creatures, constructs and undead beetles. One of the interesting things about being a raiding tank again after about a year of DPS is how you come to enjoy being hit in the face. Or wherever they’re hitting you, really… tonight I spent a lot of time using Spell Reflection to keep a giant robot head angry at me while the floor erupted in flames all around. That treacherous floor, always erupting in flames when you stand on it. Quite honestly, at this point it’s really all I expect from the floor. If it’s not on fire or seething void energies then icicles are falling down on it or there’s paralytic poison or it just plain disintegrates and I plummet into a subterranean lair . As I’ve relearned tanking (since not only do we have a lot more tricks than when I was last tanking in raids, but there’s a whole different skillset when tanking for 9 or 24 other people compared to 4 other people) I’ve had a lot of discussions not only with tanks of other classes, but also with warrior tanks from other groups, since I’m the only raiding warrior tank in my current guild. So now seems like as good a time as any to discuss what’s going on in tanking.

Here is a great article all about Death to Whirlwind

Well, no, not death. But the synergy between Whirlwind and Titan’s Grip is, to my mind, the reason why Titan’s Grip was nerfed in the first place. The secret is in Whirlwind’s tooltip. For those of you who just hate reading floaty boxes, here’s the skinny: ” In a whirlwind of steel you attack up to 4 enemies within 8 yards, causing weapon damage from both melee weapons to each enemy .” What’s the problem, you’re probably thinking, or maybe you’re thinking about pennies and kittens, I’m no mind reader. Plus, I’m writing this before you get a chance to read it, so while I’m composing it you’re not even thinking about what I’m typing because you won’t read it until later and I’m also incapable of prognosticating the future.
