Mercy Stroke pretty useless for WAR?

So yeah, Fracture. Only use it when you don't need to be optimising for enmity (you can treat yourself to better stuff) but it is good for dpsing? Is that what our conclusion is?

Due to the Storm's Eye buff it's in a much better spot now. Only real flaws are TP drain and it's a GCD that doesn't further wrath building, but DPS wise it's now easier to fit in.

Fracture really shines when you are not in defiance as well. Since Wrath is no longer a concern. It has always been good when you know you wont be hitting the boss for awhile, ie jumps and teleports, ect.

It is free damage. If doing solo content, you can use it all time. If doing small group dungeons, use it on an add near death, free heal. 8-man stuff, use on adds. Free extra damage not tied to the GCD when under 20%. All good things. Sure, it COULD be more useful if you could use it any time.

Hi, as Mercy Stroke for WAR is not a cross-class skill, it doesn't seem much problem, you don't have to decide if you choose it or not. And it is enhanced, compared to other classes who have to choose that cross-class instead of another one that might also be useful.

I have it for the PLD for group content, and for solo content I put Cure instead.

In trash mobs it pops from time to time (and in some bosses, especially long living ones like in Syrcus Tower), an extra off GCD attack, and sometimes you get the heal. With the WAR, that I have recently leveled to 50, it happens the same, logically.

I wonder if for other classes it is usually used, my Monk is just level 33, Lancer 15 and Rogue 1, I chose Mercy Stroke for the Monk but I don't know if there are better choices if I had all the possible cross-class skills available.

Your highest hitting ability as Monk aside from dots is true strike with 190pot.
So yes 200pot mercy stroke is pretty nice.

For my Warrior I would like 400 TP on killing blow before useless HP 99% of the time, I so rarely get the killing blow in places when HP would matter but TP would make the difference.
