Taking flash off GCD.

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.

Truth is that would not hold threat if that's honestly all you did, especially when you start using riot blade to get your MP back. This argument is what people keep saying, but honestly if flash was off the GCD I highly doubt everyone would suddenly start spamming it and using it over your main abilities. This change is more for convenience sakes rather than a buff or nerf.

If it's off the global it will be spammed in a macro with your REAL threat gen abilities.

FoF > Normal threat combo (Fast > Savage > Halone) with flash being spammed WHILST that is happening would give you an ABSURD lead. You could riot blade back to full and people wouldn't catch you. People can't catch me now, let alone with 5-6 free flashes chucked in. You wouldn't even need to Riot blade back the mana on a single target fight.

I agree spamming riot blade would be a scrub tier. But used right this change just makes generating a gap even easier than it is now.
