Warrior in Frontlines

[Vandril]

Edit: For those actually interested in what I posted on the matter, I was incorrect on this. The AoE DPS of MRD is actually greater due to Invigorate which, despite it already being mentioned numerous times, I forgot to take into account as a offensive-utility ability for AoE damage. I mention this in a later post on page 3 of this thread. I'm leaving the rest of my post unedited for posterity and to remind myself to avoid saying phrases like "in fact" unless I'm 100% sure I'm right. :P

[potency math]

There are a few factors you forgot on both sides, such as using Infuriate for an extra Inner Beast/Cyclone during burst or an initial Unchained before burst as WAR and the potential crit from Strait Shot for MRD. But you math nonetheless expresses more or less what mine found, just above this post.

AoE? With Internal Release MRD can spam Overpower with impunity, for the full 130 potency. 2 overpowers, 260 TP will do the same as a Cyclone with the requirement that they be in the cone before you (and boy is it a wide cone). Invigorate.

This is irrelevant, since any good WAR would turn off Defiance before spamming Overpower for AoE damage in PvP and would do so after using their Wrath stack in some way. WAR potential AoE DPS is, in fact, higher than MRD's.
