  Thanks for letting me in on the ?? mark monster thing, I had no idea what those were.

  Anyway, if I could change one thing I would make it so you can change facial hair and normal hair styles in game. I know this isn't really important or ground breaking, but it can add a whole aspect to role playing your character.

  This was a big debate on the world of warcraft forums when it happened, but I didn't experience it firsthand until the beta. That is for a warrior being able to charge while in combat.

  The problem I have w/ the warrior class now is that you just don't get enough rage - unless you change your tactics.

  For example, my typical attack is now something like this:

  1) charge
  2) use generic attack until rage builds up
  * Hopefully live to do #3
  3) hit w/ rend that uses less rage
  4) possibly use hamstring
  5) use generic attack if rage runs out
  6) hit with heroic strike
  Repeat as necessary, maybe use thunder clap if time/rage allows

  Now - this may change in higher levels, but there just isn't enough rage to go around. It is not a huge problem when the monsters are spread out, but in melee, it is hard because you are in combat immediately, and unless you are very quick to charge (meaning you have to back up, and hoepfully there is a route to target), you will have to engage without a charge, which means less rage to go around.

  I found I had to change my tactics which used to be charge, heroic strike, back off, charge, thunder clap, generic attack, rend/hamstring/pummel, heroic strike, repeat as necessary.

  It is just more difficult - but I would rather be able to generate rage during combat. Again, I haven't gone beyone L14 in the beta w/ warrior, so maybe something changes in higher levels.

  Can I change two things? I would like to be able to adjust the eyeview level with a keystroke rather than just the mouse. In CoH you can adjust the plain with the keyboard. I am one who uses the keyboard exclusively when in combat (left-handed, left hand mashes keys, right hand controls movement. When not in combat, left hand uses mouse). Yes, I could map out the keyboard for my right hand, but I don't want to.

  Yeah, I'm with Blazeroth, the warriors are the only class that needs to attack using the generic auto-attack before they can use any other abilities. Drop the rage and put warriors on the energy based attacks that rogues use. I'm glad they changed it so taunting doesn't take our precious rage anymore, otherwise that would've been my number 1 thing to change.  Number 2 (if they're strictly against my #1), again with warriors (btw. my highest lvl characters are hunters and rogues), give the warriors more dmg per normal swing (getting outdamaged by a Paladin using his regenerating mana, rather then degenerating rage, to chain dmg proc and haste skills), and more HP to make up for the fact that we have to take alot of damage before we can use any skills.

  On a purely balancing issue, warriors are scrapping the bottom compaired to the other classes. The fact that I can beat any equal level warrior with either my hunter using melee range 50% speed reducing, 10sec, attack after the warrior charges, run to ranged range while my pet eats the warrior's hp, then use my DoT, Speed reduction/stun, Arcane Shot. The fact that I can interchange my 8%dodge aspect for a +20 range power instantly helps alot too... Or being able to outdamage a warrior with my gnome rogue using duel wield, backstab, forget the name of other thing that builds combo points, my combo breaker. Then I start running with my rogue, wait for the warrior to hamstring me, so I can use my gnome racial ability to drop that speed reducer, sprint, and use my l33t CS circling skillzor to run in a quick tight circle and backstab the warrior again... rinse repeat.

  My score is 13-2 with my hunter (the 2 came before I got a pet and grew into the class), and 8-5 with my rogue (boring class, every fight's the same).
