Reasonable buff to war

[Kabooa]

Personally, I'd have much rather have seen NF expanded on that have gotten the Holmgang buff, etc. TBN and Intervention, especially, give a strong feeling of co-tank involvement and/or deliberate timing. At present, NF just... doesn't. Like Aurora, it too rarely makes a true difference or feels like there's that much to optimize when spread across both tanks. It's strong in dungeons during IR AoE, but other than that... Seems a waste.

Biggest problem with NF is that you need IR or Infuriate to really feel it

Even regular Decimate in a big group feels a little underwhelming. Nascent Flash feels like it should trait to Infuriate.

Isn't that true of every duration-based buff, though, or at least those that *could* be used meaningfully outside of the buff period, but not nearly so greatly?

For instance, now that we have Atonement, I feel like I need the GB-to-GB(+Req ender) Fight or Flight window (its limitations by duration and wanting to use Requiescat immediately after more so than the bonus %damage, oddly enough) for me to really feel the impact of Goring Blade; it'd only be 45 ppgcd over just spamming RA-Atonement if not for the fact that you only have the space for 10 GCDs (finisher + 3 combos + oGCD gap) in the FoF window.

If NF is underwhelming in that you need IR or Infuriate to really feel it, doesn't that just point at slightly too much burst? If Warrior has gotten to the point that if something doesn't Direct Crit it may as well be white damage, then more than that just being a NF problem, numbers in general probably need to be reshuffled back towards where aligned burst feels like the highest of multiple peaks in our macrorotation rather than everything between feeling like stagnation.
