WARRIOR - In Heavensward

[Amazing]

- Equilibrium: Amazing. Animation and effect. I believe it gets scaled with Berserk, crits for about 6000 (LvL 60) give or take. Its a true life-saver, with a short (60 seconds) cooldown.

- Decimate: Mehh. It does what it should do. It deals damage; but not enough. crits for about 2.2k. (Flare crits 3k+)
Considering its an AOE effect; I understand the low damage output. And giving us the equivalent of Flare is gonna make us way too OP. But compared to Steel Cyclone its useless. I would rather crit for 2k (with enmity) than dealing enmity-less Butcher's Block-ga. Animation is amazing though.

As you can see we basically got 3 offensive abilities and 2 defensive. I tried to spend most of my time playing as the DPS (OTing and trying to deal the most damage possible); and I find it brutal. Seriously, you will hit hard and strong. Fell Cleve is very powerful, with buffs and Bloodbath, it heals a good amount (reasonable to sustain damage while in Deliverance), also Butcher's Block combo is stronger (+5%, Deliverance), I roll with Internal Release for extra crit (I heard a friend saying that they modified crit rating, basically it affects crit damage aswell; not sure though). Unfortunately I can't get numbers on PS4 (Praying for add-ons), but I believe that we can be equivalent (sometimes strongly considering the burst aspect) a top DD damage for a short period (usually 20~ seconds), you can land 3 Fell Cleves/Inner Beasts (Using Raw Intuition's Wrath/Abandon).

For the defensive part, Raw Intuition is basically your new Foresight, with -20% Damage taken effect. You just need to lock-on the target. Equilibrium is nice when you combo it with Second Wind (if you have it), it gives a good burst heal; saved me many times. Equilibrium is truly the key for stance dancing. When you switch to Defiance in mid-fight, you will increase your HP pool, which indicates a loss of 25% HP from your defensive-stance. With Equilibrium (60 seconds CD) you can stance dance freely without worrying about you HP.

[Amazing]

The change of Defiance (10% parry instead of 10% crit) is the way of SE saying do not use Defiance if you want to DPS. Switching the crit buff to Abandon stacks, makes the change a fix, not a nerf.

You will never regret it Warrior of Light.



- Fun fact: Raw Intuition enables you to be critically "healed" by a teammate if he/she casts it from flank/rear. Will be fixed I believe.

Butcher's Block-ga.

They need to make that a real skill.
