Be that as it may, there's no need to flame the guy, unless your goal is to make non-native speakers of English fearful of posting on this forum. Call me crazy, but I would think we'd want to encourage international discourse since this is an international game.

The content of his post should be easily intelligible even to a child. All the flamers here are just jumping at a chance to criticize someone, and frankly it contributes nothing.

As to the original question, Strength contains more PvP-oriented skills (attacks, Sprint/Rush, etc) while Tactics has more defensive stances, which are better suited for PvE. Most warriors will have points in Tactics for PvP as well, but this is mainly for Healing Signet.

Battle Rage FTW!

Battle Rage has some uses, but it's also very limited in that you can't use any non-attack skills (Heal Sig, Plague Touch, Shock, etc) without cancelling it, which also makes you lose all adrenaline. It doesn't add any IAS either, which makes it very limited for spiking.

i like rush a lil bit more then battle rage, at least i can keep a constant stream of adrenaline with the dragon slash combo instead of losing it all every time the stance ends, i found the dps while using frenzy a bit better then the battle rage

tactics owns

true to that, there is one skill that never leaves my war's skill bar, healing signet and sometimes sprint, it to me gives me flexibility with the team, this is why i find tactics shields > str

Not true youngin'...

During the Prophesies Open Betas [you might not remember, monthly ones way back in 2k4 and perhaps before then], Strength had a near GODLIKE passive ability.

All mourn the former strength attribute description:

For each point in strength, you gain 2% armor penetration on all of your attacks, allowing you to hit harder on attack than any other class...

Ah, how awesome [and overplayed] we would be if Strength still did that. It'd be THE BEST PRIMARY SKILL IN THE GAME!!

if this was still true, i could probaly somehow value it a lil more then i do now, but until then, my healing signet is still lil more valuable imo to add flexibility to group pvp play

I was talking about Release. Nobody cares about beta tbh, there was so much random crap then anyway.
