Change for Steel Cyclone?

damage... right, because Steel Cyclone actually inflicts anything more then 1% damage on normal enemy in an instance. it is powerful enough on enemies in the world, but the damage isn't even noticeable in an instance. and yes it can be used to get a good HP return, but you need buffs for this. however, using it for a HP return is situational. and, if it can be helped, a good tank obviously isn't going to leave reducing a tank buster to chance.

again, the most practical use for Steel Cyclone is enmity generation.



anyhow, i wasn't stressing any importance on the matter. i never meant for it to sound like it is something that is a must-have. it was just an idea. people don't like it, that is okay. either way, i appreciate all the advice the people who weren't trying to be rude has contributed here. thank you very much.

You're very wrong on this. WAR's AoE damage is very very noticeable in dungeons and can often be on par with non-caster DPS.

yeah. as a WAR i find myself able to burst down, depending on the instance, around 15~25% HP from a large mob. however, using Steel Cyclone all by itself just because of its properties isn't going to contribute anything to the over-all damage during the encounter. it is like only 1~2% damage to HP.

You are really deluded if you think 1.5k is "only 1~2%" of a mob's HP. You're assuming trash mobs have 100k HP each? They have at most 30k and pumping a Steel Cyclone will remove at least something between 3~7% depending on crits/zerk.
