Quote:I really hope the Burning Crusade is going to contain the changes to rage generation mechanics the CMs keep alluding to every time the Tactical Mastery issue comes up.
The CM comments I've read on tactical mastery have suggested that they want to see unique management strategies, not variations on holding rage in every stance. From my reading, the BC Warrior trees all have different rage generation/management strategies:
Protection--Improved Bloodrage as before, and now also Tactical Mastery and Focused Rage.
Rage Management Strategy: Cool, careful, and efficient use of rage. Tactical mastery and Improved Bloodrage if you have to stance-dance.
Arms--Anger Management, Improved Charge, and Weapon Specializations as before; now also Improved Disciplines, Second Wind, and Endless Rage.
Rage Management Strategy: Control on the field of battle AKA save it up and then blow it out. Second Wind if you get stopped somehow and Endless Rage if you get caught between Charges.
Fury--Unbridled Wrath, Improved Berserker Rage as before; now also Precision and Improved Berserker Stance.
Rage Management Strategy: Beat the crap out of things. Improved Berserker Rage if you need to intercept after Execute.
