The initial rage generation for the bear feels slow, compared to my warrior... hell, everything feels slow on the bear, like i'm playing underwater. I'm used to popping Bloodrage, then charging (which on a warrior MAKES rage, but on a bear COSTS rage), thunder clapping, sundering something, then spinning around (jump for style points) and chucking off a shockwave in whatever direction needs more aggro. The bear just has me Enraging, and just... walking up there to get slapped in the face. Swipe is full 360 degrees, so there's no need to aim. Maul is actually your rage burn for when you have too much, but at 71, with 4 mobs in a pull beating on me, i'm not lacking... it's just faceroll.<br /><br />@Per: I fully intend to follow up on this later in the day after I get some work done.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024497755617725448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563653272708826682.post-59823829065222768432010-06-06T03:02:38.001-07:002010-06-06T03:02:38.001-07:00I apologize, I missed a space.

Not at all.<br />I don't have that technical device but still... Just a simple thing as swipe and maul... it feels as if it's not available like 90 percent of the time. What am I doing wrong? Is it lack of rage that does it? And how do I get that a bit quicker?<br /><br />What you're doing may look really simple and zzz...

After weeks of raiding all the digits on my left hand are pretty much packing it apart from the thumb, so that's my spamming finger until something else starts working again. I've been wanting to get one of them for ages but never really committed to buying it.Griddlebonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962441207705954400noreply@blogger.com
