How to not be perceived as a degen - Warrior Guide

Sup. It’s Garlic. Back at you again with some tips to survive against the WoW PVP community in SL s3 as a warrior main.

Here are a couple scenarios / solutions that you may have been through that likely resulted in some pain and suffering on your end. I’m here to tell you how you could have handled them better.

Scenario 1
Someone puts out a “Hot Take” on the forums and you want to contribute your thoughts. You craft an excellent reply that should surely assist people in formulating their own opinions. With a smile on your face, you submit your masterpiece and hope that your fellow community members resonate with your opinion.

Sitting there, satisfied, fulfilled, with a massive sense of accomplishment, you see a notification. This is it. Someone replied. You’re excited to see the outcome of all your hard work.

Suddenly, a dark presence enters your mind. You remember that you main Fury warrior. Looking back at your notifications, you see 10 more replies. Panic ensues.

Saner thoughts begin to prevail: “Maybe, I’m overthinking things. I know some people can be negative but surely all these people can’t hate me”. You open the post back up and… WHAM.

“Fury warriors can’t have opinions on the state of the game”
“lol ur leik 1800 hardstuck on Furrrrrrrrrry who cares what u think”
something about lock being unplayable that’s completely unrelated to your reply and the post in general
“LOL I just clapped you in arena HOW DO U LOSE AS FURY *linked details screenshot”
“Evry game is a furrry waryer”

Your head is spinning. Reality begins to fade away into the cold and barren wasteland of self-realization. All is lost. The community has black-listed you. Life, as you know it, is over.

The Solutions
So, what went wrong? Well, the first thing you didn’t do is come to Uncle Garlic for advice. I also assume that you didn’t follow my instructions to cop that dank house coat… But that’s OK. I’ll always be here for you. Hindsight is always 20-20.

Play arms. LOL kidding. Just log out as arms before you post. No longer will you be seen as a crayon-snorting, metal-blasting, behind 2 eras of the homoerectus (props if you remember this from Biology class and didn’t use google but unlikely given my target audience) degenerate.

When someone types your name into check pvp or opens your armory, they will see the truth.

You are an arms warrior aristocrat. A refined drum and bass / tech house enthusiast.

You time your sharpens out of CC, banner blinds, duel ret wings, pre-defensive stance stuns and keep track of your gap closers.

You are the peak of performance standards. An intellectual and a scholar.

Scenario 2
Honestly folks. I ran out material. So here are some fun facts:

  1. Homoerectus (/ˌhoʊmoʊ əˈrɛktəs/; meaning “upright man”) is an extinct species of archaic human from the Pleistocene, with its earliest occurrence about 2 million years ago.[2] Several human species, such as H. heidelbergensis and H. antecessor, with the former generally considered to have been the ancestor to Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans, appear to have emerged within the possibly Asian populations of H. erectus.

  2. Biggie did not shoot 2Pac. Trust.

  3. While he was pitching Office Space to Fox, Mike Judge arranged a table read of the script for executives. He tapped some voice actors from King of the Hill to play each role.

  4. Conq Banner stacks btw. 2 Banners 1 Ret RBG dream-team is a reality.

  5. Edible crayons actually exist.

  6. Lastly, not a fact but a hot-take. Ret/War/X takes more skill than RMP and Jungle because you have to cross bolt, HOJ, and what ever your healer has while both DPS have to stay in melee range. Change my mind.

Wild garlic is the best garlic.

Because it’s not in my food.

I honestly don’t think I can recover from this.

I can accept zug zug

But no garlic.

I have chlamydia

I got it from a bus seat

Fury actually takes skill past a certain point to connect 100% of the time with people with strong kiting skills like Xar or Sam. You will know if it’s a good warrior by pure uptime of slaughterhouse - thinking ahead on mobility cooldowns and orbwalk kicking intervening etc.

Hottest take - Sub Rogue is likely the least skilled Rogue spec currently and likely easier than warrior in Shadowlands.

Anyone who calls themselves Uncle is immediately waving 6 red flags

If your first thought is that maybe you are the red flags?

:thinking: mmmmmmm no no i don’t think so

They can see what you qd as on xunamate tho. There is no escaping the sweats.

Had to make a small fix.
