Shield BAsh and the GCD

[Codek]

i ahve all day for noobs who talk over experienced players. if im in a hate rotation and i see a blocakble aoe i should have access to my utility skill asap instead of wait to the gcd. that is the grey timer over your skill buttons when ever u skill or spell.

Or, you know, do what skilled players do and anticipate the ability ahead of time.

[Asdamine]

Warrior's stun being off GCD is a lie. Try using your stun in the middle of your tanking rotation, there'll be 1 second of delay... Compare to 2.5 second GCD on pld, pld got it easy with no cooldowns.

[Sogi]

Oh no, I do. You don't understand that if they take it off the GCD, it means we can use it "instantly" without having to plan for a stun, which means that it would come with a heftier cooldown. And that's something I *don't* want, because being able to use it whenever the GCD's up helps a hell of a lot more when you're fighting multiple enemies with AoE's, or if you simply screw up and stun the enemy at the wrong time.

why does off the GCD, mean long recast. that strange that u think the develompent cant make a skill off the gcd and still use tp.

Alternatively, if you're fighting a new boss that you don't know the rotation of, you slow down your own so you're better able to see the skills coming up. >_>

u get a D for effort

Just saying, any content that needs stuns can be solo tanked easily by a paladin while stunning all abilities. GG, pld tanking is so braindead easy as is, you want to make it even more so? All you have to do is slow down your combo when the stunnable ability is coming up ffs!

WEll your punishing yourselves. Over and out.

It is pretty annoying trying to build hate while having to watch for stuns.

Because TP doesn't balance it out at all. Being able to use your Shield Bash off the GCD every three seconds, regardless of whether it costs TP or not, is broken.

Shouldn't be as bad with the new enmity buffs. It gets easier as you memorize patterns too. Sure hope none of the ex primals need stuns, they're random aren't they? Def need an off tank then.

[FMElan]

you dont understand that the utility is flawed because it availability its tinctured but the need to "wait and stun"

No, you don't understand that our stun is the most useful in the game, and that has to come at a cost. "Wait and stun" is that cost. Don't like it? Play a Marauder or a Lancer and enjoy your 20-30 second cooldowns on stun.
