Storm's Eye Is a Chore

Personally would like to see storm's eye buff translated to a GL stacks type mechanic (Rampage stacks) for WAR with somewhat tight stack degradation points between IR/Zerk windows. FC/Deci/IB/SC under Zerk/IR generate the stacks, maybe Eye can be how to refresh once or twice between.

There's not much thematically different about Wrath gauge VS Wrath stacks, but what I miss about HW/ARR WAR stacks was the timer associated with them which is now gone, it gave a sense of urgency to keep attacking the target (many jobs had this, but it has been washed away mostly). Would be nice to have that back to get that Berserker feel again (if timer isn't so deadpan easy like Enochian/BotD/Darkside etc) on a personal level. Like those other mentioned skills, it's so easy/simply to maintain than why exists. Should we have more of HW's tight timer windows? Question extends beyond WAR

I confest i completely ignore storm eye in dungeon except boss...
Myhtril tempest with storm eye effect please? Yes

This. Though, I can already think of a handful of things I'd prefer to include, even if further complicating Warrior (in enjoyable ways), over leaving Storm's Eye as is. I'll take old Inner Release for starters...

As for Storm's Eye just feeling that little bit "off" in AoE... I'd like the same thing for it as for SAM, combo overlap between single-target combos and AoE combos:

• Give SAM Art of the Swell, allowing Fuga to combo into Jinpu and Shifu and for single-target and AoE combos not to interrupt each other. Additionally, your AoE skills will decrease the GCD recast time incurred by your next two single-target skills within 5 seconds by 10% per target struck, to a maximum of 30%, while your most recent non-Iajutsu single-target weaponskill will duplicate 30% of its damage dealt into your next AoE. (Potency changes necessary.)
  
  
• Give WAR Storm's Wake: Overpower and Mythril Tempest may now combo to or from their respective single-target combo steps and your Overpower and Heavy Swing combo lines no longer interrupt each other. Thus, Overpower may now combo into Maim and Mythril Tempest into Storm's Eye or Storm's Path and Heavy Swing or Maim into Mythril Tempest. (No potency changes necessary, as this would only affect ST-AoE transitions and initial AoE openers, neither of which are significant in raids.)

At the very least can we keep the Animation for Storm's Eye if the Buff from it was removed? Make the attack do something else? I find Storm's Path to be such a bland animation I end up doing more Storm Eye attacks without meaning too just to spice up the attack(One reason I ditched DRK)

Should just replace path with eye and eye with butcher's block animation.

Maybe ill just start doing this and ignore eye completely except for boss fights. I mean, it doesn't feel worth the hassle.

I would take that. I'm sad that all the Aggro Gen skills just got fully removed outright.

Tbh that'd be more than enough if they changed it to combo off first skill, like NIN DoT. What I like about WAR is simplicty, so I'd prefer for it to don't get replaced by some new weird mechanic.

I'm not missing enmity combo in the slightest, but I agree that BB animation was awesome. Would be nice to have it instead of SP.

Everyone says they don't miss the enmity combos, I don't get why. Maybe because I was in the casual tier where people didn't master Aggro management and I still actually FELT like I had to throw out the Aggro combo.

It's why I left DRK just 123, so even if the Eye buff gets removed or switched to something else at least let us keep the attack as a Dot or some other use, I don't want to spam Path with it's piddling animation.

I prefer both as they are, to be honest; they fit their names and I don't personally find any of them superior to the others. Though I wouldn't be opposed to an infuriated mode, so to speak, whereby Main turns into Skull Sunder and Path into Butcher's Block. Variety would be appreciated.
