You guys are misunderstanding.

Inner Beast is tuned and balanced in such a way that you still have an attack that does proportionately high DPS relative to the rest of your skills while you are in a given stance.

For example, lets say that a Fell Cleave in Deliverance is 500 potency and an auto attack is 100 potency. So you have a big nuke attack that is 5x more powerful than an AA.

Now in Defiance, your AAs deal 76.2 potency (factoring in the Defiance penalty plus the loss of the 1.05x modifer of Deliverance). Inner Beast is now your big nuke attack, and it deals closer to 6x your AA potency, and proportionately higher relative to the rest of your GCDs.

Relative to that potency and the potency of the rest of your GCDs, Inner Beast is actually a higher increase over the average Defiance PPGCD than Fell Cleave is an increase over the average Deliverance PPGCD. This is why I said that saying that WAR just loses the Damage of Fell Cleave completely in Defiance is fallacious. You don't switch to Defiance and that GCD is just gone from your rotation, its just replaced with IB, which appears based on what math I have here to be just as much of a DPS gain while you are in Defiance. So I don't believe it is accurate to say that it is "gated by Deliverance".

tl;dr Inner Beast is roughly the same if not a higher increase to Defiance's PPGCD than Fell Cleave is to Deliverance's PPGCD. So the DPS loss isn't the loss of Fell Cleave, its the loss inherent from Defiance across the board, so to want to do away with the former is basically to want to do away with the Defiance penalty altogether, across the board, which I found ridiculous.

Ideally, what they should do is add an effect to Unchained that speeds beast gauge generation or slows its consumption relative to Inner Release.
