    The less viable moves for WAR?

    Just wondering what moves the WAR have that really doesn't have all that much place in endgame instances. I'm trying to only keep two cross hotbars to be better on my rotations. I want to add Internal Release for a cross class skill and am seeing Unchained not really used at all. I can swap out skills based on what instance I'm in based on further info.

    Any endgame WARs can give me their opinions and I can go from there? Thanks in advance.

    You should rethink your approach. You will need to use all your skills to be a good warrior (or a good player for that matter).

    Or do I misunderstand your question and you only want to know which cross class skills to take?

    Edit: Or start using macros to free hotbar slots (like putting Mercy Stroke on Heavy Swing or something).

    This will work. I only needed one slot. Thank you. Guess it's time to try macros.

    Macros on your GCD actions slow down your GCD queue time by fractions of a second, period. You should be using Unchained; that you're not tells me you're not maximizing your damage or initial hate generation.

    Without knowing what your bar looks like, if you're dying for 1 slot I would remove Fracture.

    You just need to put Mery Stroke after Heavy Swing in the makro, so you won't lose any time.

    That's not why you lose time. You lose time due to not being able to queue macro'd GCD actions up to 0.5 seconds before the GCD is up. Unless you are a pinpoint precision robot, you always lose time.

    Just get into the reflex of mashing Mercy between GCDs when it's available. It's not difficult.

    Great idea, but the thread creator doesn't want to handle all his skills manually (obviously).

    What system do you play on? I recently discovered a way to add more skills to a hotbar. In the options menu, you can decide to make L2+R2 bring up another hotbar. You can even make order make a difference. For me, L2 before R2 brings up my wrath menu with a 2nd copy of Infuriate. R2 before L2 brings up my number markers. And I still have room for a few more skills.

    I don't want to lose a fraction of a second and am only trying to use to cross hot bars. I'm relatively new to tanking so I'm learning my groove. I use Unchained but not as much as I should I guess. Fracture uses tons of TP which I need during longer battles so I might give that up for Internal Release.

    I'm on a PS4.

    Can someone give me instances where they use unchained a lot or a situational move at least. Just trying to learn.

    anytime i'm using bloodbath. brayflox SR's for example. esp if i'm using internal release and Berserk as well. which i always do if i'm using unchained.
    dps checks
    any boss fight where i don't feel i'm taking excessive damage.
