    Shamelessly copied from http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...pilation/page2 (need to keep spreading the idea if possible :P)

    Steel Cyclone: this used to be like our bread and butter back in the day, now its pointless use of wrath, to make it more useful/engaging
    change it to the following options:

    2 wrath stack: 150-200 aoe dmg like it is right now with an enmity modifier (our version of flash so to speak)
    3 wrath stack: 200 aoe dmg with +5% crit or dmg bonus for a duration
    4 wrath stack: 250 aoe dmg with a 50%? heal according to dmg
    5 wrath stack: 250-300 aoe dmg & -20% dmg taken for a duration

    what about a 2-3 stun when used under berserk or unchained?

    Slightly off topic but what if using Unchained adds something unique(while keeping the remove dmg reduction of defiance) to each ability? Something like:

    Under Unchained
    Butchers Block: increase crit by 5% for a short duration?
    Storms Eye: a 25% slashing reduce instead of 10%
    Inner Beast: Adds the shield everyone's talking about
    Steel Cyclone: AoE Stun added
    Fracture: Paralyze
    Brutal Swing: True stun that stuns 100% on ALL enemies no resist bullshit, would be sort of the same as PLD's silence move
    Berserk: 35% attack increase or more! , removes the pacification(i really hate the pacification) and a 30 sec duration
    Storms Path: (idk better self heal i guess?)
    Bloodbath: 50-75%? self heal
    Thrill of Battle: 30%? or keep the 20% heal and add a 20% shield or w/e
    Mercy Stroke: the 20% heals you now instead of at killshot or a 20% shield
    Maim: maybe add a slightly longer duration or 25% buff
    Overpower: Adds wrath?
    Holmgang: 100% bind on all enemies, would be very good to bind a boss at a critical moment (talking about real bosses like in coil, not WP/AK bosses)
    lolforesight: the parry+ % i keep asking about :P

    This would require Unchained to be lowered to 1:30 or 2:00 cooldown to keep it balanced imo

    Just a random idea and it may take some tweaks and/or reverse the orders or w/e but at least this way theres more options according to situation and steel cyclone is useful.
