It seems there’s been something new added to Azerothian and Outland water supply. Much like the Communists added flouride to whole blooded american drinking water, messing with our essences.
“Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core Commie works.” (Dr. Strangelove)
What am I talking about? Enrage. Everything enrages now. Casters, Orcs, Blood Elves, pocket lint, and Longjaw Mud Snappers. Was that necessary? Every fight ends with a really annoyed enemy combatant. They used to go quietly into the beyond. Now they enrage. Everytime. All of them. Sounds like me Enraging, or the wife doing her Shammy thing. Now they all enrage. Evv err eee one of them.
…
We’re killing skeletons in Duskwood tonight. And they’re Enraging for crying out loud. RAWR RAWR RAWR
I expect my pocket lint to be rawring soon.
C’mon Blizz. Tone down the Enrage.
RAWR!
They always enraged. You just never saw the buff, because buffs were hidden, and you could only reveal them with Detect Magic. Last patch Blizz removed Detect Magic and made all enemy buffs visible. They also added a sound to enrage-like mechanics that makes it even more obvious.
For what it’s worth, there are new spells/abilities in WotLK that do extra damage to Enraged targets.
Just as mobs enrage be nice if players could as well at minimum HP. Just why is it that mobs can but player character can’t?
Be nice if we had such a mechanic.
Cool. Stands to reason. I guess they get angry because Blizzard didn’t allow them a “Run like Hell’s on Your Heels” mechanic. Angry more at the developers and not us, the slayers.
I think Troll’s get a Berserking racial trait, but it’s not automatic.
What’s really funny is to hear something like a Fire Elemental enrage. It sounds so ridiculous. Maybe it will be fixed in the new interim patch that is up on the test realms, though the patch notes don’t indicate that.
