Best cross class abilities for a Warrior?

[Zell]

I don't really see any reason to have Flash on my bar any more, what with the new Overpower animation and Steel Cyclone. The only reason I used it before was because of t4 and needing to get snap aggro on the knight/soldiers. Now, I can just wait to the side and throw an Overpower to get everything I need. The whole "use while out of TP" thing never really held much water with me because, if I'm out of TP, I've already gotten so much aggro on the target that I can just sit around for the next minute and regen my TP back to full without any change of losing aggro; the Pacification issue has never existed for me because I always make sure to not be Pacified when something new is about to spawn (even if I have to cancel Berserk early).

Haymaker is another one of those attacks that I just don't understand anyone taking. Its damage is pathetic by WAR standards (only 170) and the Slow is both negligible and suffers from DR really hard so that you're not really getting much out of it. If it were off-GCD (even if the damage were nerfed to something like 50), it would be a good pick, but, as an on-GCD attack, I just don't see it as being worthwhile (esp since that means it slows down Wrath acquisition).

My loadout is Provoke (obvious), Convalescence (obvious again), Featherfoot (you don't use it for mitigating spike damage; that's what IB is for; you use it on CD to increase mean mitigation), Awareness (now that it's bugged, it's actually a good one to use when you're expecting to take a huge hit because it reduces the maximum amount of damage, which makes healing you more predictable and therefore easier), and Internal Release (10% crit with 25% uptime is still pretty damned good especially with the Unchained CD reduction so that you can use IR twice for every Unchained). I've debated swapping out Awareness for Mantra, but I figure that making healing me more predictable is worth more than increasing healing on the melee by 5%, even if it does end up providing a lower numerical benefit over time.

I use Flash during times when i'm TP starved, or more importantly, during the debuff that Berserk causes in being pacified for 5 seconds. It has it's uses....

what do you mean by even if you have to cancel berserk early?

When a fight is about to get phase pushed while I have Berserk up with 5 secs or so on it, I'll turn off early so that when I have to engage (or reengage, like when the boss disappears and there's 5 secs or so of no target), the Pacification will be over (since I never expect or ask for an Esuna).

You can esuna the pacification? I need to heal WARs more often so I can pick up on little things like that.

You can end *any* buff early by right clicking on it. Gets really useful when dealing with pug healers that like to HoT you up when you're pulling or expecting adds since you can just turn it off right away. I'm not sure what the command for it is on console though.

Do you know if 14 has any sort of cancelaura effect you could put into a macro?

As far as I know, there isn't one.

I find it easier to use on some pulls as well because of its larger aoe area. You can just run and flash without adjusting.
