Taking flash off GCD.

[Nibb]

It would make PLD so much more fun to be able to weave flash in between cooldowns for extra threat, not to mention make our mana go down much quicker and making riot blade more useable.

Thoughts? If anything, maybe a trait for paladins?

[Paikis]

How about no?

[Nibb]

How about no?

Well since your response was so highly intelligent, are you able to provide more details on why you feel it would be a bad idea? How does this effect you in anyway to warrant such a sarcastic response?

The fact that I have to explain myself here tells me that you shouldn't be allowed to suggest changes, because you clearly haven't thought this through.

Let's say your changes go through, what is to stop you from simply macroing Flash into your Fast Blade and Riot Blade buttons and then easily holding threat on everything for ever by simply spamming those buttons? Riot Blade combo would keep you full mana, and you could be using Flash on cooldown (Which I notice you didn't suggest changing, so its still at 2.5s?) and so you would have enough single-target agro that Flash would make up the difference, and you would have a pulsing AoE threat generator that you could run forever.

Your suggestion would not only reduce Paladin to a 2-button rotation, but it would make threat a complete joke instead of fairly easy as it is currently.

I do not believe you understand how agro works if you believe spamming Fast blade + Riot blade + Flash would be enought o generate proper ST threat.

Regardless, it's still a very questionable idea. For the fact you could go crazy at the start dropping 1.5k mana worth of flashes + Halones. Then riot blade it back with your lead. Nothing would ever pull from you.

@OP; this game has long GCD's because it wants to make meaningful choices with your long GCD's, there is rarely any low cool-down non-GCD linked abilities (if any). Flash for a Paladin is actually one; do you need the AoE threat or the blind, or do you need to use that global on a bigger threat source or survival? Better than just blind-blind-blind-wait-blind because it costs you nothing.

How rude and that wouldn't work, perhaps you shouldn't be allowed to respond to suggestions....

To the OP, flash works fine as it is. Taking it off the GCD would only serve to make things easier, which is not necessary.

Sure, if you wanted to go the boring route and not use most of your abilities. Why don't you try giving me a non impossible scenario and be a little more realistic. Have you put thought into this, or have you just forgotten that there are more abilities, such as Rage of Halone? There is more to tanking than just holding threat, infact, doing so isn't even hard in the first place so I'm not quite sure why you're complaining so much about that specific detail.

Not to mention why would I mention changing the cooldown so people could literally just spam the one hotkey, I obviously intended for this to be a fun mechanic you could weave in with your other combos to make the play style more fluid and rewarding instead of feeling clunky waiting for the GCD to flash once in awhile. You exaggerate the outcome by an extreme amount, most likely because you're a marauder and have some personal vendetta against anything PLD related.

You mean this part? OK, I have 50 MRD as well as 50 PLD. PLD was my first 50, I have Relics on both, and I swap between them depending on content. I also raid Coil on both.

Speaking as someone who plays a PLD for about half my game time, your idea is bad. No. Get out.

Actually, no, not that part, but good job showing your mature side.
