    IB is fine the way it is. It rewards the player for knowing when damage spikes occur and can predict it within a 6 second window. Wicked Wheels, Mountain Busters, Triple Incinerates, Death Sentences, etc...

    In fact, I wish more classes had stuff like this. The game is pretty simple as it is. I would welcome any class ability or mechanic that made the game more skill-based.

    While I agree with you for the most part, with the 2.5 GCD, animation delay (granted not huge on IB), and buff delay (like all buffs, easily noticeable in HG or Holmgang), the 6 second duration really feels like a 4 second one. I do well with current IB, but timing really does have to be perfect for a WAR to be effective. I do wish it was some form of oGCD ability to make up for its short duration. If any random mechanic fights come in the future, you better strap on your PLD boots, as there simply isn't enough time to put up the buff with a 2.5 GCD.
