Change for Steel Cyclone?

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

i'm not under-estimating the damage output of a WAR. however, i have specifically asked groups on a few occasions through Expert Roulette to allow me to see the damage of Steel Cyclone. the result is pretty much the same as at the testing dummy. it inflicts roughly 1~2% damage to the HP. it does around 863 (sometimes around 950 with the party STR buff) damage, with my current gear. (AIL155)

when in a level 60 dungeon i Parry roughly 1/3 of all attacks throughout the dungeon. with no stacks of Wrath applied the amount of attacks i Parry is noticeably less, roughly 1/5 as compared to 1/3. and in level 50 dungeons i Parry roughly almost 1/2 of all attacks, without the Wrath it is around 1/4.

all-in-all, when using Steel Cyclone all by itself, the most practical use is Enmity. which simply isn't worth trading a Parry buff for. again, i am not and have never been discounting any other uses for the skill. Enmity is easy enough to generate without the use of Steel Cyclone. it just isn't worth trading Parry for a tiny bit of Enmity.


either way, the skill has plenty use as is. and again, i never considered it a bad skill to begin with. it was just a concern with trading Parry to generate what is a rather small amount of Enmity.
