Should WAR get a skill speed boost?

Axes are all about momentum, right? They should start with an intrinsically slower GCD on WAR. Instead of a damage up buff on eye, they should just build up stacks of a skill speed buff that make you faster and faster and then get consumed when you do a big attack like IC.

That's how you do fast differently.

As a warrior main I’d be down with this blend of war and monk style of play.

Making ShB WAR more like SB DRK is 100% gonna make me go WAR next tier.

All the tanks were real good and fun during SB.
I'd kill for that back.

Yeah but we lost that. Well.. WAR and DRK lost that. PLD is only improving with each expansion. WAR's getting more and more simplified to make it more appealing, as before it was Dig Bick DPS of the tanks... which it no longer is. DRK was it's own thing, and playing it well took effort and skill... which was gutted and made so redundant.

Here's a WAR/DRK complaint comment. PLD's got two DoTs, one on the GCD and one on a recast. GNB's both are gated by recast.
Why doesn't WAR have one? Why's DRK's gated both by a recast and a resource cost?

That sounds… genuinely interesting, and thats why it wont see the light.
