Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.


The Queue: I wish WoW had Barbarians

Now, admittedly, Titan’s Grip Fury Warriors are close. But man, I really wish that when they’d designed World of Warcraft they’d made a Knight class that was all about shields and tanking or single weapon mastery and a Barbarian class that was all about going ape with a couple of gigantic weapons and just wrecking things. I absolutely love the way Fury works in Diablo 3, and it’s a mechanic I wish World of Warcraft had.

Also, I wish that your class selection changed your character model somewhat. Like, if you were a Paladin, you’d get the glow of the Holy Light or the Sun or whatever leaking from you, Warriors would get a little bit bigger than other classes, Rogues would be a little hard to see around the edges, etc etc.

Look, I can’t do every Queue with some weird conceit that it isn’t actually me writing it. Sometimes, y’all just have to accept I’m writing this Queue. If it makes you feel any better, I just killed Ordos and he didn’t drop my shoulders, so we’re all suffering.
