Warrior Quality of Life Adustments.

[Ehayte]

I don't really know why people think it would be too much damage off GCD, the 300 Potency matches PLD Spirits within at 300 on a 30s CD....

Its only 300 potency with full HP, it scales down as you get lower on HP - but I digress.

You should NOT be able to use IB while pacified, but having it off the GCD is fair, in my opinion (i84 PLD, i79 WAR):

1 - It moved from a 900 potency self heal to a small heal with a mitigation increase. All of PLD mitigation abilities are off GCD, which I am assuming is at least in part due to the fact that they are often woven into rotations, or that they sometimes need less than 2.75s notice (time between rock-buster and mountain buster, if you aren't memorizing attack order in each phase in Titan HM/EX).

2 - Its not spam-able. Even if you were to do IB>Infuriate>IB off the GCD, you are kind of screwing yourself out of 2 attacks you could have done ON the GCD without losing a lot of time (I know doing that isn't smart because of the overlap in the IB mitigation buff, just making a pre-emptive counter-pointer RE: DPS increase).

3 - This is my most subjective point, but I feel like it would make WARs more fun and tune them to be the true MT-specific role I feel that they are designed for. PLDs are insane-good off-tanks (stun, silence, Stoneskin, lolpaci, cover, etc), and I think having IB off the GCD would make WARs inch over PLDs as superior MTs. I know people resist that with PLD's cooldown suite, but if you think about the capability to focus on different things on those two classes...PLD can protect other members of the group with SS and Cover, stun mechanics more reliably, silence, blind, etc - whereas WAR can lolstun, do damage, and tank, and that's about it. It would make sense to me that from a mental capacity standpoint (assuming that is a limited resource) that the WAR class is designed to make you exhaust your mental resources on managing your health bar and mitigation, whereas PLD can get away with focusing a few things without taking a fatal konk to the dome. I think WARs deserve a little more power to compensate.

Sorry for the semi-rant, TL;DR: off GCD: yes, during paci: no.
