heavy swing --> overpower --> steel cyclone...used for aoe threat. reduce SC damage a bit, boost its emnity so its the aoe version of butchers block. DONE!

But the would water down the class to the point where spending/building Wrath would be solely for IB, building and spending Wrath is the main mechanic for WARs it would be nice if we had more of a decision to make depending on the situation on where to invest our Wrath expenditure rather than a choice of spending on tanking utility or spending for the sake of doing a flashy twirl (which is all the current and new SC are/will be for).

The problem with this is that if a group of mobs are immune to stuns this goes back to being a useless ability or becomes an odd addition single target stun tied to an AoE ability. Damage Reduction can applied to everything. As fat as DR being a PLD thing I wish people would give that up, DR is a TANK thing and WARs do it in a different fashion than PLDs (Reactive/Proactive short term duration vs Proactive long term CDs + passive mitigation).

Maybe instead of reducing the damage the WAR takes it reduces the damage the enemies deal if you're so dead set on keeping as much DR flavor away from WARs as possible.
