Marines pour resources into mental health care

An anchor stands in front of the entrance to Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune at Camp Lejeune, N.C. The Marines, who have prized toughness and self-reliance for generations, find themselves losing a fight against an enemy that nearly a decade of war has made stronger: The branch's suicide rate has more than doubled over the last three years, surpassing the Army's as the worst in the military. Marines stressed from repeated tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan are seeking help like never before, and their suicide rate is the highest in the military after doubling in just the past three years.

This game will care that you’re there: Our look at the Guild Wars 2 manifesto

Filed under: , ,

Earlier this week, ArenaNet promised a new Guild Wars 2 video. That announcement came with a warning: no, it’s not a new class reveal, and many fans were pretty disappointed. What could possibly serve as an adequate substitute for a class reveal? It’s safe to say that the disappointment was blown out of the water yesterday with the unveiling of the MMO Manifesto and the Walking the Walk blog post.

Merriam-Webster defines the word manifesto as a “a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer,” but when the word is used in context, there are usually strong feelings behind those intentions. Revolutionary, groundbreaking, and change are words associated with such a thing, and it was a word well-chosen by ArenaNet with this newest reveal.

Follow along after the jump as we take a closer look at what ArenaNet showed us yesterday.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Fury report card for Wrath

The Care and Feeding of Warriors is about warriors, who hurl themselves into the fray, the very teeth of danger armed with nothing more than the biggest weapons and armored with the absolutely heaviest armor we can find. Hey, we’re not stupid, we’re just crazy.

A couple of months back, I had intended to start a series reviewing each of the warrior specs as they are in current endgame. While I freely admit I got distracted by all the shiny bells and whistles of the beta, the time has come to step away from the looming apocalypse and instead look again at the class as it is right now when you log on.

As we established last time, there are no major changes incoming for any of the classes until Cataclysm ships. The way your class plays right now is the way it will play until the pre-expansion patch drops and changes everything.

So how does fury rate overall? It’s had its ups and downs … from top of the DPS in Naxxramas to middling in Ulduar and Trial to (finally) near the top again in ICC (at least if you’re in the best possible gear, much of which is still leather). Even if you’re in merely solid gear, however, fury can put out a serious hurting. I have yet to be less than No. 1 on the DPS charts on any 5-man I’ve run since I started collecting my 264/277 DPS set. I’m hardly any great shakes as DPS; it’s the nature of the spec and how rage, talents and gear all intersect for the fury warrior. A talented fury warrior (again, I make no claims to be particularly talented) can lead the DPS on any fight halfway friendly to him in ICC.

Wrath saw fury gain and lose on talents — for example, the change to Rampage (although a late one) that made it a passive crit aura was a very positive talent change — and ebb and flow with new gear as each raid dropped.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: The constantly evolving beta warrior

The Care and Feeding of Warriors is about warriors, who hurl themselves into the fray, into the very teeth of danger, armed with nothing more than the biggest weapons and armored with the absolutely heaviest armor we can find. Hey, we’re not stupid, we’re just crazy.

This week, we shift gears a little. We have to talk about the constant evolution of the talent trees and class design in the beta test. The first thing we must keep in mind when we discuss the beta or PTR patches or anything like that is that the design is always evolving, and what’s currently on test may or may not make it to live. We saw a new patch with a whole host of abilities drop or change. We’ll see more of them. The purpose of looking at these patches is never “look, here’s what you will look like when you play in Cataclysm” but rather “look, here’s what they’ve done so far to the class and what we can learn from it.”

What we can see from the new talents is that more variety in terms of rage consumption and conservation is being worked into the system. As an example, Unbridled Wrath (never a particularly popular talent in the past couple of years) is gone, replaced by Battle Trance. This is indicative of the continuing paradigm shift on how rage should work for DPS players away from a simplistic “do anything you can to get more” design and towards a more nuanced, perhaps even complicated, way to look at rage, rage generation and rage consumption.

The arms talent Deadly Calm is an example of a talent designed around the oft-mentioned “disciplined, soldiery feel of arms,” one that seeks to give the spec that cool-under-fire sense, to contrast it from fury’s barbaric direction. With Deadly Calm, I see the beginning of strategy in terms of how and when to use rage as an arms warrior. If you’re close to activating Inner Rage, using Deadly Calm will let you still unleash that flurry of Mortal Strike, Overpower and Executes without preventing you from gaining the 50% damage increase for your special attacks.
