    That's my problem with the article. This person is uneducated in how game mechanics work and the fact that there are classes that require tactical positioning. And by you making a joke, it only furthers the ignorance of the masses like this gentleman.

     

    Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

     

    Wow.  Read my post above yours (my text /response is in red)- where it clearly states that some classes require positioning to execute abilities. 
    
    Talk about ignorant.  Read the thread first before you try and bash someone.  Thanks :)

    so for me, i'm all for running in circles around your enemy... as long as it's my enemy and not my ally, that is doing it.  Hah.

     

    in your experience, running in circles around someone enables you to get in rear/flanking blows?  There are abilities in WAR that ONLY work from the sides/rear.  They're usually high damage or provide a buff/debuff.  There's no other benefit like rear/flanking special blows for positioning (imagne if there were?) in my experience, your doing that makes my life a lot easier as after i finish you off (taking very little damage), i'll have that much more life for the other 5 guys attacking me... assuming of course they're not running in circles too.

      

    this really isn't wow.  the jumping-bean-of-doom "strategy" doesn't work here. Correct.

     

    or, i'm totally mistaken and i just happen to be totally outgearing people (even folks 5+ levels higher than my toon).  That, my friend, is nearly impossible to do thanks to RVR gear, no risk in the game, and an abundance of money available at all levels.

  • You said, "Also, note the people that jump around and think that circling you makes them good at PvP, hit them with this too. Point and laugh after they kill themselves."

     I take issue with this because it isn't entirely true. Some careers require positioning(flank/rear) to use certain abilities. It's ignorant to assume that the reason someone is running circles around you is because they think they're good at PvP.

    I've personally ran around people in games like World of Warcraft, Age of Conan(has auto-facing) and even WAR. I've noticed that it does actually help if you're a melee class, no matter how people want to twist it and make it seen like people that run circles are elitist jerks and they're going to get crushed because of auto-facing while you keyboard turn. It's not going to happen. Ever.

     

    That part was an attempt at humor, ignorance had nothing to do with it.  Obviously I've played the game more than 5 minutes and am aware a few classes in WAR require tactical flanking, etc, to properly execute abilities.

    I'm not sure what the end of your 3rd paragraph is referring to.  It was quite clear in the article that I was making a joke.  You can run around a jump all over to your hearts content, in no way was I referring anyone to be a 'elitist jerk'.  Results speak for themselves - doesn't matter how you go about getting them

  • Aye, definitly a point well made - my only bone of contention is that with the cooldown on the root tactic slotted - they lose some other very nice tactic options.  However, like you said, its a trade off :)
    
    The Shadow Warrior's my next article by the way - hope everyone enjoys!

    I found this review spot on and overall a good read. interested in reading more of your reviews. How about your fav. DPS class next?

     

    Thanks for the warm reception everyone!  I've got more articles in the works, White Lion, Ironbreaker, and Witch Elf are all waiting on a few finishing touches.  Keep an eye out here for them - and don't be hesitant to let me know what I left out or what else you'd like me to throw into these articles.

     

    I need a signature now, don't I?
