Beast Gauge Cost: Numbers

It seems like it would have an effect beyond the "Less than 408" calculated, especially if it happens multiple times over the course of an encounter.

No math is going to be a 100% perfect reflection of how it plays out in game, there are too many variables. There are ideals, and then there's reality. If enough tragedy happens in a fight to throw your IR/Berserk timing off several times - your IR/Berserk window being executed perfectly probably wasn't going to save that run to begin with lol

Agreed. I was mostly curious if anyone had actually tried to figure it out.

I vaguely recall a post mentioning something along those lines, but I think it's buried in one of the other threads, not it's own topic.

I'm not sure how you would approach that problem. Wouldn't that vary depending on how long the fight goes?

Best way to look at it IMO is you can't use IR in Defiance so having to delay it is actually part of the tank stance penalty. Look at it this way, if you were in Defiance for one full rotation you would lose an entire IR, being in Defiance for part of a rotation it gets delayed a fraction of the time.

If tank stance DPS is reasonably balanced (which I have no idea about tbh) then it's not a problem. If losing IR makes WAR particularly weak in tank stance then it is.

Edit: Also, I overestimated the "worst case" number in my second post making the same mistake I spent the first part talking about. Derp, WAR has it even better than I thought.
