WAR is Trash Tier Now

[BabyLeviathan]

Changes that need to be made:

• Stance Dancing: Beast should not be reduced when you switch
• Infuriate: Usable outside of combat instead of a jank tomahawk>infuriate> Unchained. If you do not register on threat list but are in combat the skill doesn’t work
• Shake It Off: Useless since zerk change, needs to remove stun and bloodbath’s ability put onto it as well
• Butcher’s Block: Needs to give 20 beast gauge instead of 10
• Onslaught: DMG loss either needs to cost no beast gauge
• Inner Release: Needs to be taken off a shared cooldown with Unchained and have its cooldown reduced to 60 seconds.
• Berserk: WAR is currently buffed less of the time than the two other tanks
• Fell Cleave: Needs to have a buff as PLD and DRK average potency is around 70 higher so cleave needs to put up to around 600-700 potency
• STR/VIT: 270 STR accessories > 310 as STR bonus is better than VIT

Just...leave it alone, man!

With the release of Xeno's WAR video people can finally hop off the DRK hate bandwagon. DRK does work in the dps department and the blackest night is so so good.

WAR is clunkier than it used to be, but it isn't a complete disaster.

And what's your point? He also has a video of his PLD doing 3100 dps. So same dmg but PLD has way more utility than warrior and is much easier to play.

Did you just 1-1 copy exactly what Xeno said in his video without thinking about how equally broken that sounds?

No he didn't. This is with fending accessories. The 3100 dps is without fending accessories. Without fending accessories he has a video with 3255 dps.

Butcher's block shouldn't generate 20 gauge, it's already the enmity and highest potency combo. Right now you need to weigh the benefit of the extra potency against the extra gauge generated by path combo, which can be used for onslaught (like it or not it's ogcd so you can use it for extra dps when upheaval is on cd).

I do agree that the stance switch penalty makes the class clunky. Being able to use lv 60 accessories is just a stupid oversight on the dev's part, it'll probably be patched soon.

No do not leave it alone, voice your concerns so that SE never has a single day without some reminder about how much they messed up.
Do I believe they will change these things? No but even so they need to hear what we think about the sorry state of things, a state they created, a state people could see coming after the media tour and so voiced their concerns over and was completely and utterly ignored. This entire mess was avoidable but SE chose to not avoid it. So no we should not leave it alone.
