4.0 WAR Skills?

A friend of mine who mains healer (theyve also recently lvled DRK up to 60) suggested it would be cool to see the WAR receive a gap closer skill, akin to DRKs Plunge skill.

It would share the same graphic style as the WAR Holmgang chain. Like a 'glowy' red hot chain, that could be launched out from your wrist or axe and attach on to the targeted mob, then it would do one of two things.

Pull:
If the mob qualifies as a trash mob the chain would pull the enemy towards you in to the pack. Maybe add a stun.

Launch:
If the mob qualifies as a boss the chain would launch yourself towards the boss. Maybe add a DoT to boss.

I've seen something similar in ESO. A grappling hook skill.

What other skills are players imagining, theorising, want and expect for WAR 4.0

honestly they could give warriors 3 more infuriates, and im sure theyd be happy penta-fell cleaving

Nothing is cooler than a gapcloser like charge in WoW.
So i would absolutely love this.

An alternative could be the DRK jump crossclassskilling but... yeah, dunno.

I would love to have a multi pull in holmgang similar to how we saw in the 3.3 MSQ. However I think they should just fix the pull mechanic of Holmgang as its not as strong as it should be. Personally I would love to see Rampage make a return. I would also love to see WAR get a line/conal aoe move similar to how some of the marauders in Hullbreaker Isle have or maybe a gap closer that uses Deliverance stacks and deals damage to the target and anyone near it. Call it Ripper Blast.

I'd like for Warrior skills that used X number of stacks instead of Max Stacks to unleash skills. Situational abilities that may be overall better or scale upon the amount of stacks used.

Example of Stacks affecting Potency, Fell Cleave deals 100 Potency x X Abandon stacks used. Going off this, you can make Infuriate break the stack limit and give you Fell Cleavus, The Reckoning.

Best give them even more Lancer skills for free. Maybe their own Disembowel? They already got their own take on Invigorate and Keen Flurry, after all.
2 abilities that had, before, intentionally withheld from tank classes.

???

A TP refreshing skill should be withheld from every other TP using class just because Lancer had it first?

A parrying skill should intentionally be withheld from Tank classes? The ones that actually get hit?

Are you okay?

Give them both to tanks as cross class, fine. ALL tanks. But don't give just ONE job its own, always included version. All or none.

because every tank has the same Balance-Issues? Like every DPS does? Or every Healer?

"The same for all" is and always was the wrongest, dumbest and most boring Argument ever.


PS:
not >implying PLDs have no TP issues or whatsoever.

As a Dark Knight main i would love for the other two Tanks to have good thematically fitting gap closers.

For Warriors a good old Leap with an AOE light stun or short defense down effect.

For Paladin i would like to see a ground based shield rush, perhaps affecting all touched enemies in a straight line with a slight stun or susceptible to critical attacks.

I like the Paladin Idea. They can call it "Divine Intervention" Have them go charging into a mob sword and shield bashing into it. Causing all targets hit to take a 3 second confusion stun.

All or Nothing
100% crit rate and1.5 damage but take double damage only can be used if MTing and If you dont keep MT your damage is lower to 50%.

It would have to be only a few sec skill so it does not make it OP if people find out how to use it.

Just off my head skill.

^ They could make the crit and damage buff short but the debuff of double damage taken and the 50% lower dps if you lose MTing longer

Holmgang does this one already.

They could make one without the cant die effect but this one pull alot of monsters

and on a short CD like 20 sec or something

What war is lacking at the moment is mobility and therefore a leap, and perhaps a stronger version of Fracture either single target or aoe like circle of scorn.
But what i would really like for war atm are skills that are getting stronger with stacks for example IB has damage reduction proportionate to defiance stacks like:
5%,10%,15%,20%,25%
And how about we get additional potency on skills or crit rate which depends on ilvl and stacks? For example i270 war gets, for example 2,70+5%=7,70% crit boost or for fell cleave 500+2,7%=513 potency.

Hopefully we get an introductory video for our skills on May.

so ... WAR is best in Damage and you say, WAR needs more damage?
that's ... no, i don't think that's the issue here ^^

Imo they should combine Inner beast/Fell Cleave and Decimate/Steel Cyclone so that they change to their counterpart depending on your stance and just give us other skills instead. D:

Would be cool if war and pld had a gap closer akin to drk, it's why I love being a drk in A12S for gravitationals. You can plunge right over em playing chicken with your life it's pretty exhilarating!

WAR already has their own Disembowel. It's called Storm's Eye.

To be fair he singled out Tanks, not 'every other TP using class'. In WAR's case, they really didn't need a mini-Invigorate to begin with.

I just want to see:

- skill redundancies share slots, swapped according to stance

Defiance > Deliverance; Fell Cleave > Inner Beast; Decimate > Steel Cyclone

- a 2nd combo ender for the Skull Sunder line so we can cleanly simplify their binds into 2 slots (Fast, Fast; Skull, Maim; Eye, Path / Butcher, <new>)

- the Inner Beast concept reworked slightly to throw a bit more madness into the Warrior's feel and to make Warrior roughly as MT-dependent as PLD and DRK.
