The Care And Feeding Of Warriors: The Door Swings Open Pt 2
Impale no longer requires you to take Deep Wounds, in fact it’s reversed: you take Impale to get to Deep Wounds. Trauma’s ability to increase the effectiveness of bleeds (and not just the bleeds the warrior puts up, either) makes it a very strong raiding talent. Imaple itself is unchanged, but Deep Wounds is down to 48% damage over 6 seconds from its current 60%. This is probably due to Trauma, as the two abilities would have stacked for ludicrous amounts of damage. ) Poleaxe Specialization gets a nice buff, adding 5% more crtical strike damage to its 5% critical hit bonus. Since Trauma, Sudden Death and Wrecking Crew depend on you critting, this makes axes very, very attractive for PvE and may or may not make them a viable PvP option. I just anticipating it? Wrecking Crew itself is a very nice ability. Basically it’s an Enrage effect that procs off of your melee critical strikes.
Hindman): I’ll be looking at a lot of games this weekend, as usual. I’m trying to plan things out further in advance as far as games for my columns, but then something brand-new comes along and wrecks everything. I’ll be playing A Mystical Land, some Wakfu (I hope,) a bit of Illyriad, plenty of Order and Chaos Online, Free Realms, and plenty of Allods. I’ve never really been griefed. After all, the ignore option does all the work. There have been some cases, I guess, in which people have attempted to mess with me, but it never works. A player once tried to literally push me around in Mortal Online, but I pretended to be AFK so when he finally got the guts to hit me with his sword, I called the guards and they wacked him. Brianna Royce (@nbrianna): I think I’ll be playing the auction house game in Lord of the Rings Online a bit this weekend!
Fake iPhone – We don’t know how much one of these costs, or where you can possibly get one, but by all means: if you have someone you really, really want to diss this holiday season, you absolutely cannot go wrong with a fake iPhone. This one, in particular, seems to have a real (albeit 1st-gen) iPhone casing, although it lacks innards or the ability to do anything beyond turn on. HD DVD player – Yup, any HD DVD player will get the job done. All the better for your not-beloved, right? Oh, that’s right: you can’t get Battlefield Earth on HD DVD. While you’re at it, maybe throw in an HD DVD copy of Battlefield Earth to seal the deal. Your cruelty will be truly, undeniably on display with this one. Scale Mouse – It’s a mouse, but also a pocket scale. In our opinion, most senseless hybridizations of devices result in super awesome gifts for people you can’t stand, but this one is surely a standout example of pointlessness.
The fan replied, ‘I don’t have to sit here and listen to this,’ and walked out. At this point, Nina Simone leapt up from her piano stool and chased her with a knife. Her contract with the Royal Festival Hall in 1999, included the instructions: ‘Always refer to the Artist as Doctor Simone’ and ‘Dr Simone’s limousine must be no more than two years old’. Thankfully, her guitarist ran after Ms Simone, and held her back. She also required ‘Six bottles of Cristal (champagne) for personal use’, and a special room to be freshly constructed by the side of the stage in which she could take shelter during her performance. Thirty minutes before she went on, Gum Care the sound engineer asked her if there was anything else she needed. She immediately demanded ‘some champagne, some cocaine and some sausages’. What sort of sausages would she like? Warren Ellis, Nick Cave’s bandmate and author of this bizarre book, remembers looking at her at the side of the stage while Cave was introducing her.
