Is Rage of Halone Overpowered in GLA/PLD's Kit?

[CianaIezuborn]

NOTE: In the title I am saying "overpowered in GLA/PLD's KIT" this means that I don't think RoH is breaking the game, I'm saying that relative to all the other skills it's too dominate..lowering the decision paths/lowering the skill cap.

I disagree 100% with this, and I actually think that RoH's massive back load in damage/threat/debuff actually increases the skill cap to optimal usage. The 7.5 second wind up and planning that wind up in advance is infinitely more work than I've had to do tanking in any recent MMO that I can think of.

The back loaded RoH hit may be everything at once, but that's a double edged sword, because it's everything at once. It takes 7.5 seconds to use, and it only hit's one target. Sure when you're beating on a single target, not on interrupt duty, not worried about mana usage it's basically 1 2 3 1 2 3. But, yeah, spank and tank.

Have you stopped to figure out what abilities you can use between the combo and not break the chain? Have you figured out how long you have to use the next ability in the chain and have it not break? When it's worth it to use RoH without the combo bonus?

When it's worth it to use RoH without the combo bonus?

Before the last update i found it very useful to use it twice on big mobs before going into my combo because of how slow and weak the first hit of the combo is. Most dps will go all out the moment shield lob touches a mob, so it does have some non-combo use.
