5.0 WAR is a disappointment

[Hierro]

No. IC does not fix anything. Even if it could be available for 60s party buffs. That is only trick attack.

Every 60 seconds does not necessarily mean "only buffs which have a 60s cooldown." It refers to any buffs that occur at 1 minute intervals after the opener. For example, thanks to IC, we can take advantage of not only of every TA, but chain strategem and embolden as well, for those 120 timers wouldn't naturally line up with IR until the 6 minute mark.

Before, if an encounter were to end just before our IR coming up, we would cry in disappointment. Now, IC lessens that pain significantly.

Im well aware if ICs usage and that its meant to provide an opportunity to hit damage outside of IR, but you clearly didn't understand as the point you were making is what I was describing. I was referring to any buff that could come up during a 60s window. You also don't understand what Chain Stratagem is to IC and IR. They do not work under chain.

Chain increases the crit rate by 10%, but IRs and ICs crit rate is already 100% as its GUARANTEED. No chain, no litany, no battle voice. Embolden was brought up by me previously. Embolden also lines up with brotherhood and IR, so these one of the few buffs war can use IC on. Embolden and brotherhood increase physical damage dealt, while trick increases targets damage taken., which is why warrior can use these. The others only boost rate, but this doesn't matter when your rate is 100%.

But it's ok. You can use wet noodle cleaves on those useless buffs tho. Too bad you don't really do damage outside IR and IC. Keep crying. And yes, I'm well aware you can save IC to end the battle with it. I do it.
