"Shake it Off" potential fix

[Kyrph]

I agree that the ability is really underwhelming and could be much more useful. Your idea is pretty much a weaker thrill of battle with a much shorter CD so I would like to see something a bit more unique. I like the idea changing the ability so that it could be something that could be used on an ally, giving WAR some actual utility.

But if they want to stray away from giving WAR utility they could make it something similar to equilibrium where it effect is different depending on which stance you are in.

Shake It Off

Removes most all detrimental effects. (and actually make it usable on more types of debuffs) Can be executed while under the effects of action-inhibiting statuses

If an effect is removed gain 10% damage reduction while in defiance (duration 10 - 15 secs)

If an effect is removed gain 5% - 10% increased damage while in deliverance (duration 10 - 15 secs)

With this effect you can actual use it as a CD for damage reduction or a damage buff if you have a debuff that last a pretty long time and isn't that harmful. I mean you guys can play around with the idea I think that would be a cool way to use the ability and opens a bit more play options as well which I love about the WAR.

snip.

While I like the idea I have found that there are very few debuffs that can be removed, if at all, in endgame content. Most of the ones that can are also easily avoidable. If there were more debuffs flying out then I could see this being a really interesting idea; but, again, I don't think that will be the case since we have seen esuna, the main way to remove debuffs, become more situational and niche based.
