To rape a non-prepped warrior class?

Well roll on my swizzle stick and call me Andy. Since when has CF been about prep whores? As for grazes and mauls, well hey, maybe next time you'll think ahead and play a scout.

Then there are the ragers who don't even bother showing up when the head is missing. AIM is such a lovely thing isn't it. You might be the amazing exception, Abernyte's bastard child or whatever, but villagers lately have been a joke, Zhel/Zylun aka the shady duo included.

Hmmm, how about you play a non caballed, rager hating warrior. '####ING DEATHBLOW ####! #### THIS ####, I'M MAKING ANOTHER RAGER! ####ER!'
