It's so easy to cap wisdom (and easier still to reach the softcap of 200) that it really doesn't matter much. You will not be a noticeably worse cleric if you pick gnome.

In my experience, I would loosely napkin-math it at approximately a 75% chance that a successful bash stuns you (if you're not an ogre) and a 25% chance that a non-raidboss (and not red-con) mob...

Mine is not a "contrived scenario." Anytime you get bash-stunned by a mob (as a non-ogre, obviously) and follow it up with a cast of FD/DP, you are literally guaranteed to take at least one more...

Splitting can often require facetanking briefly, depending on the nature of the pull. Not all pulls have enough space to start from max range. In indoor zones without SoW/jboots, you can't gain...

It only matters in the context of encumbrance. Are you having trouble carrying shit? If so, strength will help with that. If not, strength really just doesn't matter to a warrior. I mean, in...

Greenmist isn't anything special for players who can raid. For casuals who never raid, it's pretty nice, but still not even the best 1h ratio. Two tradeable weapons have a better ratio. They just...

Taunt only does anything if someone else has aggro. Don't put it in a macro, you'll waste it 97% of the time. You use taunt when you need aggro and don't already have it, not to build an aggro...

Yeah, it wouldn't work at all in PvP unless you're fighting some AFK idiot. Jousting means running through each other and tapping auto-attack, then moving away and doubling back while the swing timer...

Having a free pet-summoning clicky available for emergencies is more impactful than the difference in power between level 59 pets and the epic one.

That's correct. When you swing a weapon, you generate an amount of aggro equal to weapon_dmg_stat + char_dmg_bonus. Doesn't matter how hard you hit, or even if you hit at all. A discipline that makes...

Any game's forum will reflect the way its players feel about that game.

There's no point asking for people to change their tone. That's irrational.
