Warrior Tips and Trick - Know your Enemy

When you know your enemy you might learn something. What bugs them, what they eat, how they think, what tricks they use to kill you, and from time to time you learn something that can help you kill them.

Such is the case with the following post from Euripedes (the Mage): http://criticalqq.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/buff-your-reflexes/

Now if you can’t fathom reading something a mage wrote I’ll break it down in warrior speak a little bit
Did you know that a spell/ability is not cast till you RELEASE the button you press and not when you press it?

For instance I have bound execute to my caps lock button for some quick pinky reflex action. When I see execute comes available I have to press and release the caps lock button before I swing. IF I were to press and HOLD the caps lock button and wait to release till I saw execute become available I could the simply RELEASE the caps lock to cast execute.

“But Blackthought...SO THE FUK WHAT!!”
Let me explain.
If you’ve ever seen Office Space (the movie) the main characters set up a program to steal pennies that are normally rounded away from bank transactions. What results is both funny and pertinent to this topic.

While the main characters of this movie screwed the pooch in the program, the theory was to take a LITTLE but of A LOT of transactions. Same principle applies here. Let’s say you shave .25 seconds off of each execute, MS, or Overpower. That’s one fourth of a second (go ahead and try I’ll wait while you press a button and try to count how long it takes....ok so it’s about a fourth of a second). Now let’s say in a raid setting you swing what...150 times? Well what if you could shave .25 seconds off of each moral strike or overpower?

Do I need to finish connecting the dots are can you see where you’d game some extra time to swing away?

As for PVP applications who here hasn’t seen execute become available and then swing to find you JUST missed that blinky mage by a fraction of a second? Guess what one fourth IS a fraction of a second. See where this could be nice?

How about fury warriors and SLAM? What if you simply hold down “f” and when you see SLAM come up you simply let go of “f”? Saves you a little bit of time each and every time.
Prot warriors uh sword and board or shield slam or revenge come to mind right off the bat.

Check it out it’s fun, and pretty damn effective too.

Say thank you to the mage BTW.

And if you already knew this why not let someone know?
