Thread: 2.1 Steel Cyclone, Not Enough

It'll entirely depend on the threat modifier, which I expect will at least be as good as Overpower as otherwise it'd just be TP/MP free threat that's otherwise outshined by the low level aoe skills. It's main use will be aoe threat, though I could see some WARs potentially using it on single target for a little bit of burst threat (depending on threat modifier).

When doing aoe threat, there's not really time to build wrath stacks back up so the few seconds of 20% DR you'd get from using Inner Beast instead would have less of an impact unless you know everything is about to burst you. The Aevis mobs in Stone Vigil come to mind as an example, with their Lunge ability they all do a few seconds in the fight which can get dangerous with three of them at once. Your other cooldowns will likely be sufficient for situations like that anyways, handle stuff case by case, blah blah blah.

Just like Overpower, it'll work best with the Bloodbath + Berserk cooldown pairing (I don't see any reason to ever use them separately anyway). Both to generate more threat while dps go wild with aoe and because the self healing (boosted by Berserk) from hitting several things at once (especially as Steel Cyclone hits harder than Overpower) is a form of pseudo DR. It may not heal you to full, but it does slow the rate that your HP drops giving healers an easier time keeping you up. If the stuff you're fighting can be stunned, the new lower cooldown on our stun will also help to lower the incoming damage without decreasing aoe threat output (assuming you don't need to save it to stun something specific on an aoe pull).
