Concise Tank Balance Changes

[Chrono_Rising]

1. Probably why Haymaker was ultimately removed. Unless I'm mistaken, we didn't have an iteration of True North until Stormblood.

I believe that you are lamenting the loss of a skill which was replaced with something far better for the exact same reason.

But I'll say that moving into leveling in Stormblood as a Black Mage, I would have given anything for that 20% slow they took away with Lethargy.

This has nothing to do with the conversation so far. Are you trying to say Lethargy is now an equivalent of reprisal as well?

2. Purely reacting to procs itself is muscle memory. Procs that force thought are fun. Reprisal did not do this for me. Thundercloud does it for me because I'm working against multiple considerations. Shot procs do it for me as it inherently changes the value of Quick Reload, and to a lesser extent Reload. Low Blow in dungeons did this for me because you could literally make a Paladin blush at the sheer amount of damage you stop, for effectively no cost.

Low blow in raids, pfft. Hit the button. No considerations. Dark Arts by Gucci.
Reprisal? Hit the button. 7 times over 3:45 seconds means you basically slammed it on cooldown, with a variance of 5-6 seconds between proc and use. That could be "tactically holding it to use to ensure maximum coverage", or "I just didn't !#%ing parry that time."

Way to completely ignore the context. You said parry procs din't happen because parry was a bad stat, I give evidence of being able to parry without slotting it in HW. You want timed uses of reprisal? See o6, o7, o11, and o12s. Also its 110 potency more than dark arts. Lets get rid of salted earth as well for exactly the same reasons you are giving. You aren't saying anything doesn't apply to nearly every oGCD. Work FoF into the GCD potency along with spirits within and requiscat, work the damage of inner release into the potency of Fell Cleave along with upheaval, take the potency off plunge so that it can be used as a gap closer, just tweak the potency of Dark Arts. Why is Dark Arts appealing? Why not take that away and just work the potency into the GCD.

3. Well, you still have that "Raid utility", only now it's weighted better. Also pfft. "I forgot how to punch this guy's face despite doing it for 15 seconds."

I would not agree that the 10% down on a tank buster, cleave, auto's and a raid wide is made up by tbn or the 5 seconds on current reprisal. You are making this claim and as I said earlier not providing any back up for it.

4. Make them interesting and sure.

Ah, now we have strings attached. Does it also have to be interesting to you or do the numerous people already asking for them back count enough to say they found them interesting? You are entitled to your opinion that they are not interesting, but enough with the continuous reposting of you not personally finding them interesting. We got it, and I'm positive others found it plenty interesting.
