Making Warrior's Butcher Block combo relevant

[Aana]

Teh strongest aggro is warrior period. The heal from equilbirium is so much stap aggro, along side an unchained tamhawk and dps stance IR, the other tanks can't really do that and still keep thier dps up.

Not really. Drk has a higher enmity opener. The only reason War's enmity is 'better' is because it doesnt cost hardly any DPS, not because they generate more enmity than a Drk opener. Pld just sucks at both enmity and takes the biggest damage hit to do it.

I mean just consider: DAPS in grit: 440 pot, 11x enmity multiplier, 2.16x grit multiplier (0.8*2.7), 20% darkside bonus.

Total for that ONE gcd is 12,545 potency of enmity. The entire combo is 15,927 enmity

The entirety of a defiance unchained war opener (Toma>eye combo+Equil) is 7587. Even if you add in the IR window (with deliverance 5%, eye 10%, and IR buff) it begins to come close. The IR onslaught is ~2200 depending on crit value. 5 crit/DH FCs and upheaval combined is just over 6000 (depending on crit).

War entire opener (Unchained>Toma>Eye+Equil>Deliverance>IR>FCx5+Upheaval+Onslaught) is roughly 16000 variable based on crit gear in IR.

Let that sink in.

The entire 9 GCDs of a war opener including the IR window is ~16,000
DA Power Slash combo in grit+Darkside alone is 15,927

But you still have dark passenger, plunge, and whatever damage you do with the remaining 6 GCDs. Heaven forbid you crit and/or DH that powerslash rofl.

Dark has utterly stupid enmity. People just dont do it because warrior sacrifices 5% damage on 4 unbuffed GCDs (no deliverance buff on toma+eye combo) while drk gives up siphon MP, 10 blood, and 20% damage on 3gcds before you drop grit. Which, while lame, is still better off than pld and Drk at least gets payment for that sacrifice (ridonculous enmity). People just dont like trading damage for enmity, but that in now way makes drk bad at enmity in the slightest. War is just the cheapest 'passable' amount of enmity in an opener.
