Significant changes they say (coming with a free respec, at your local trainer). Let’s have a look:
All War Bellows will now persist through the Black Orc’s death. This means that you will not have to recast a War Bellow after respawning or being resurrected.
Nice, especially if you’re like me and always forget to recast [...]

After the horrible T3 slowdown, with barely any RvR to be found and only Tor Anroc and Talabec Dam ever popping up, I was beginning to get a bit short on enthusiasm.
Until I got to T4 that is. Let me just tell you, T4 is awesome. For one, it feels more like a real war [...]

May apply to other classes. Your experience may vary.
Been looking at charts and reports all bloody day, so I guess some of that spilled over to this blog. Oops.

All you need to know to kick-start your Marauding career.
So you like runing around half-naked with an odd looking limb and a big bad ugly mace? Like having all those Bright wizards and Archmagi focusing on you when they see you charge through their ranks while praying that your healbots can keep up? Or you [...]

As I’m taking a small break from the Black Orc to allow mates to catch up to me, I figured I might as well check out some Order classes in the meanwhile, starting with the Shadow Warrior. This was actually the first class I tried during the beta and I wanted to see how the [...]

Hello there, healers! Creepy goth Zealots, butt-ugly Shamans or even haughty Disciples of Khaine. How ya doin’? On behalf of all tanks, I’d like to tell you that you are indeed appreciated for your efforts. But you know how it is - a good healer is invisible. Only when the fecal matter hits the oscillating [...]

As soon as the game launched (and perhaps even earlier than that), the conflict on which weapon style to use sprung up. Some shield users quickly proclaimed that using a 2-handed weapon is going against your career role!1oneone whereas the big choppa lovers responded by posting themselves at the head of the fictional revolution against [...]

Ho-hum. With this article, I’m hoping to kickstart a series focused on ways of stomping various Order careers and kicking their dogs (or lions in one case). We’ll start with the Bright Wizard, one of the squishiest foes you’ll meet on the field yet at the same time, one of the deadliest ones.

Noticing a few of you getting here from Google, probably searching for info on the Save da Runts ability and most likely not expecting my long-winded rambling. So I suppose it’s only fair that it’s only that I explain the skill for you guys!
Tooltip:
You defend one of your allies and try to take attacks meant [...]

I love it how non-painful leveling seems in this game. Do a couple of public quests, run some scenarios and before you know it, you’re already halfway to the next rank. Of course, I’ll probably bite my tongue later for this but right now, it seems pretty unstressful.
So while exploring around today, I managed to [...]
