Changes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...sUE78v0rJc3tuY
Summary Below
-- Offensive --
Every offensive ability now has purpose and a real reason to exist beyond "you hit it on CD for damage".
Increased how much WAR has to do in between burst windows.
Added an Enshroud-style gauge with a heavy-hitting finisher for WAR to manage and line up with IR.
Added 7.5-12.5 seconds of other GCDs per minute to cut down on Storm's Path spam. (~10-11s average)
Potential Issue: Reclaimed Fury would enforce a certain GCD speed in order to fit 7 GCDs within the buff.
Potential Solution: Reclaimed Fury grants 7 stacks of the buff for a ~20s duration(and potentially make Finality end the buff when executed).
Potential Issue: Finality has a recast of 5s which could be awkward/slow and would enforce it's use as the final GCD within Reclaimed Fury.
Potential Solution: Finality has a normal recast time instead.
Potential Issue: Reclaimed Fury could be used twice within a raidbuff/potion window. This isn't necessarily an 'issue' but more a notable consequence of these changes.
Potential Solution: Reduce the total amount of Lingering Fury that can be held to 50 or 60.
-- Defensive --
Rebalanced Holmgang compared to Living Dead to reflect the actual strength of the two abilities.
Potential Issue: Holmgang and Living Dead now share a cooldown.
Potential Solution: Living Dead cooldown reduced to 240s.
Potential Issue: Shake it Off still dispels your cooldowns, making it difficult to use during tankbusters.
Potential Solution: Shake it Off no longer dispels cooldowns and no longer scales based on how many you have active.

Or swap the invulns around, Living Dead to Warrior and Holmgang to DRK. -

How about you not curse WAR with LD? No job deserves that blight upon its kit.

02-28-2022, 03:14 AMRyuDragnierWhile true, WAR IS currently the only tank that can actually not suffer a fallback from the HP to full requirement. Pop one Bloodwhetting and Equilibrium and you'll easily hit that threshold as WAR.Quote:

The problem is, what happens when the Warrior successfully clears it with two buttons?
It's the exact same issue as when the WHM Benes it off: the invincibility period is lost, the cooldown wasted.
It's the only invuln that doesn't guarantee 10 sec of breathing room for the healer, and requires the tank and healer to be synchronized about how they want to deal with it. It's just a fundamentally badly-designed ability, which I hope gets completely reworked in 6.1 (instead of just cooldown shuffling or built-in healing buffs). -
