    @ OP: If you want to nerf PLD and DRK that hard, their stances would without a doubt need to be moved off the GCD.

    WAR needs a lot of help. It does. In no way am I saying that it does not have buffs coming to it. But in my opinion you guys grew way too accustomed to a stance-dancing system that was incredibly lenient. Now you have a stance that actually costs something as opposed to being borderline-free, and its the end of the world. DRK and PLD still sacrifice a resource, and a GCD, and someone mathed out earlier that the actual average potency loss to our PPGCD is still almost always higher than WAR.

    Idk when sacrificing a GCD to change stances became so trivialized. Its punishing not only to our DPS, but also execution of mechanics, as we have to stop what we are doing for an entire global cooldown while everything happening around us continues in real time. I would take swapping off the GCD over that nonsense any day of the week.

    I'm sure the flames of a thousand suns will rain down on me for thoughts like this, but I just think having one tank that can swap stances for free was bad design and I'm glad it got fixed. Maybe the nitty-gritty details of it still need tuning (like making it cost a flat 20-30 gauge instead of half, or something like that) but otherwise I totally see why the overall change was implemented.

    I think Infuriate should be fixed at a flat 30 seconds, or at least 40, so it divides evenly into Berserk every time, or in the latter case, evenly into Inner Release. Berserk being 30% is also too weak. The BB combo should not offer gauge, and instead Maim should go up to 20 per use, so it builds faster, or perhaps, in Deliverance, crits grant 5 gauge, and in Defiance have parries do the same.
