That'll be true if and when it holds up in hard modes and raids.

That seems odd, but it sounds like a driver issue if your FPS jumps that much just turning off the UI.

Yes, I will choose to believe that Alienware does not design or engineer its own hardware, because it's fact. They don't do anything special. They are just a retailer.
But then you're one of the alienware trolls we're talking about.
If you want to believe that and use inferior hardware...okay...

No they don't. They use the same components any good custom builder would use (if you're lucky). They don't make their own chipsets or memory.
Even Apple stopped doing that; they just charge 50% markup on the same Samsung and Qualcomm parts everybody else uses. iPhone? No thanks, give me a Galaxy any day of the week.
Alienware? No thanks, I'll pick the parts I want for the price I want since there's rebates all over the place.
Louise on 05/07/2012, 07:08 AMI build PCs for a living. No need to tell me about this. Alienware just uses better components.Skillmare on 05/07/2012, 07:00 AMI build computers for a living but I'd never play on anything but my Alienware. Usually poor people buy my PCs because they can't afford Alienware.
Alienware was respectable pre-dell buyout. Its like with Voodoo & HP, Except HP Killed Voodoo & didnt use them... vs Dell expanding on Alienware.
You want professional prebuilts? Falcon Northwest, Sager, Clevo/NP Builds, Roccat, among others are the way to go. All you get is a fancy butt case that doesnt even have a spot for my apple juice on the top because of the rediculously un required cooling system just because they decided not to properly build a well ventilated case. FNW I think is still best for prebuilt, its abit more pricy...but if you want your face painted on the side of the case? they will goddamn do it. If I want them to make the insides neon green, they will do it... not to mention I can call & talk with them & have components that arent in the selection box added into the system even if I buy elsewhere.
Its not like you can say the extra $$ is going somewhere good when you buy alien like you used to, the good old days are gone :( Custom is just that... Custom, everything how you want it the way you want it in the case you want it to be in from component companies you want it to be from.
I would be seriously pissed if I found mushkin RAM in my AW MX11, Which I have. not to mention theyre so unhelpful... I have 2 Alienware systems thanks to an Ex of mine who just got mad at it and gave it to me, theyre both broken... theyve both been send to AW 10X Already, AND- Theyre not fixed. They eventually cracked & sent me an R2, But the desktop remains an issue.... you would think theyde of fixed it after so many failed attempts.
Vs. Custom built:
You have warranty on EVERY component, your ram fails? just RMA the stick you dont need to put up with hell and rma the entire computer.... in the end its less of a headache..

Louise on 05/07/2012, 05:35 AMSizuru on 05/07/2012, 05:27 AMi block every single person who says anything about alienware
Custom builds for true gamers, Republic of Gamer/Clevo/Sager (for laptops) for true gamers.
alienwares for hipstergamers.
./end reply ;3
Its good to see marketing can still dupe people into spending thousands these days.. if only they new anything about hardware.

I agree that seems a little excessive. Maybe I'm not paying attention to area chat enough, but I don't seem to recall such expletives on my server.
Alienware jabber, sure, but I just block those people. I report and block anyone else that is truly offensive or selling gold. I know that there was a GM physically standing in Velika banning gold sellers and chatting in area.

It's realllly annoying when I queue up my biggest nuke, and before it goes off a warrior tank evades and drags the boss out of the spell circle. This wouldn't be a problem with traditional tab targetting.
TL;DR
In all seriousness though, the problem is not the Warrior class itself. It plays fine. The problem is MMO players and their NEED to have different classes fulfill very specific roles. And that every difficult battle has to play exactly the same way it always has in every MMO before: tank keeps boss in place, DPS launch missiles from far away, healers heal.

Personally I think Warriors need to be permanently made into a Tank or DPS (probably a tank so there's more tanks in general, there are 2 healers after all).
Why? Because it's the only class in the game that can fullfill 2 roles. I don't see any other dps being able to heal or tank. I don't see any of the healers putting out respectable dps.
Every class in the game except the Warrior has 1 defined role. What's up with Warriors? They too good for one role?

Oh no! God forbid that it takes the average person more than 2 weeks to hit max level cap. FFS, grow some patience, run a few dungeons more than one friggin time, and do some PKK or GvG.
Yeah, that is pretty sweet.
