This is something I cooked up for my Guild. Unfortunately some people appear to have taken it to heart, the wrong way :S

1) Sprint is the only way to move.
Why did they make the skill if not to use at all times

2) Aggro range.
Nice of the builders to put that little circle on the radar.
Use it to keep that distance away from your team. Use sprint for this.
Keep an eye on those gay ranger dudes. They sometimes try to sneak past you. No-one should ever be in front of you though!

3) Adrenaline all the way.
Use only adrenaline based skills. You need your energy to sprint.
No-one will mind that you have to keep fighting to keep your adrenaline up, so it's okay to sprint on to the next group. Someone will res the dead teammembers, right?

4) Screw res signet!
If they die, it's their fault for not being an Uber Tank, like you!

5) Monks have unlimited energy.
If they say they're out, they're just being lazy. Just sprint ahead. They will heal.

6) Monks and mages are gay.
Geez. why don't they buy better armor? They get killed everytime I'm beating up a boss half the map away. They can't deal with those measely archers and warriors minions swamping them!

7) Swords are gay and axes for trees.
Always, and I mean always use a hammer. Even if the enemy consists of a zillion little buggers which do heavy AoE damage but can be taken out with two axe-swings. Doing MAXIMUM 500+ damage with every blow is all!. So the thing is slow, so I can't defend myself with a shield, so I do more damage with a single blow than my enemy has health. MAXIMUM 500+ DAMAGE IS ALL!

8) Don't read chat.
It's all whining about something called 'rushing' anyway. Geez, stick to important stuff people. If there's so much chatter you can't see your drops mentioned, turn off your team-chat channel. They can still see your remarks.

9) ALWAYS USE CAPS IN CHAT.
Otherwise they can't read what you have to say.

10) Try not to be bothered that you never seem to get re-invited into teams for the next mission, are on everybodies ignore-list and are in you're twentieth guild this week. There's a lot of whino's and cry-babies in this game. Live with it.

Wow, I've been playing my war all wrong! I only use Sprint to get away from battle if my party is almost dead, I use the aggro circle to keep away from enemies instead of party members, I only have one adrenal skill on my bar, I always take rez sig, consider monks to always have 0 energy after a 10 second fight, think mages are essential to my life, use a sword, don't type in all caps, and seem to get invited to groups a lot! I'll have to totally change my playstyle!
Heh. Seems a bit sarcastic, lani... Did someone have a bad day?

  navymrgoodbar on 12/14/05 00:44

Naw, he didn't have a bad day.

I see you finally made it an Article, Lani. Good job! ;)

***Not flaming against you, NecroRebel. ;)***
NecroRebel, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, but I believe you misunderstood this article like I did the first time I saw it. The title clearly states how to be a NOOB warrior. Lani is saying, in a different form of words, that Noob warriors usually have a playstyle similar to one of the ten steps Lani wrote down in his essay. It takes time and experience to become a 1337 warrior and understand the basics of the game as well as common knowledge/common sense.

At first I thought this was his playstyle until I read it over again and found out that he was only stating (as a joke) how to be a NOOB warrior. 1337 warriors would never play like that, so by making a list of things noob warriors usually do, it brings a bit of humor and sarcasm to the crowd whoeverso reads it.

Once again, good job into keeping your intellect "signed in stone" thar, Lani. Very funny stuff, keep it up. ^_^

  NecroRebel on 12/14/05 00:59

I realize that this was all very sarcastic, as was my reply. I read the title and immidiately decided to read the article as a comedy. Got a pretty good laugh out of it, too. I have encountered this type of war in the past, though I like to think that I'm not one I'm sure I'm guilty of this sort of behavior on occasion.

Personally, I only write this sort of thing when something happens to me related to the topic, meaning having encountered and gotten killed by one of these n00b warriors, for example. The problem with sarcasm in print is that without the tone, it is often difficult to discern what is sarcasm and what is not, so what you thought was an attack against lani on my part was a sarcastic agreement to his sarcastic article... Though I guess I could have said that better in the previous comment.

Bit of explanation needed I guess  lani on 12/14/05 06:39

Hi hi, allow me to explain :-)
This is actually a very old piece, one of my earliest posts on Gameamp in fact. It got a great response back then and now that we've added this Fan Fiction category to the Article sections, we needed some 'seed' content so you lot wouldn't be to shy to submit better content. So I dusted it of and submitted it.

It is based on personal experinences with warrior players during August and September 2005.

  binarydumb on 12/14/05 15:26

Ahhh liked it.

In fact, I added mine own too. Now if we could have Silly and his social need article, the circle would be complete.

Cheers.

  Lord_Skull_Crusher on 12/14/05 15:48

lmao
very nice.

  puffydog on 12/16/05 11:11

Step 7 is sooo damn true XD

  slye_boy on 12/17/05 09:35

only 1 thing should be said, LOL

LOL  bloodnecro on 12/18/05 10:53
 
You sohould make one for every class (if you have time) +P it is awesome i think i wsa here when the original was writen... MAN im old

u really need this to know how 2 b the NOOB of your life?  Wooff's stuff on 12/20/05 02:50
 
to b a noob just get a rune of absorbtion and run into the middle of the infinite number of devourers vs u
this will seriously annoy party members and lin the perfect way. also, delete ure chat box b4 the mission/quest and put it bak later

WTF's an uber tank?  Sabremoe on 12/21/05 20:48

What?! Warriors are tanks? I thought the game designed warriors and monks so people can farm?!

  neoneonknight on 12/26/05 00:05

Brilliant

  Drekan on 12/31/05 19:59

lol thats was funny

  Hobard Tor Phankin on 05/05/06 04:52
 
...have you been stalking me?

  Hobard Tor Phankin on 05/05/06 05:03
 
Okay, apparently can't edit comments. Bah. Anyway, yes, I read this and made an account simply to ask if you were stalking me. I mean, that hit so close to home...well, kinda, anyway. I happen to be a hammer warrior, but REALLY it's only because I happened to get a hammer as my GW pre-order weapon, and it's served me well this past year. +20hp with only 5 Strength, not counting a Fortitude mod? Sounds fair to me :D

I still have trouble with accidentally aggroing too many enemies.

Y'know that Kilroy Stoneskin (whatever his name is :S)?

If I shout MY name, I aggro enemies that haven't been released yet :D
