WAR is Trash Tier Now

[P4X0R10N]

Running with these archetypes, I'd give dark knights bloodlust and rename it bloodthirst.

Wars, I get rid of inner beast and decimate and keep fell cleave and steel cyclone. Then make it so that being in defiance gives those abilities enmity. I'd let the defiance damage penalty affect those abilities.

With inner beast gone, I'd give warriors a new tanking ability that costs rage.

With warriors now having access to rampart, I don't think they need another damage mitigation cooldown. Instead, I'd give them a heal over time. 50 rage cost xxxx health restored over xxxx seconds.

With this new HOT, equilibrium and thrill, the war as a druid, self healing tank is firmly established.

Thrill can be used preemptively for damage spikes, the hot to smooth fluctuations in the wars health, and eq for emergency heals.

Make stance switching free during inner relase so wars can switch and do their fell cleave spam. This way, they can build max rage, inner release, blow it, then switch back.

Probably change the stance passive to accomdate this play style. Like a flat passive of some kind that doesn't fluctuate with rage levels.

Yeeeeah, I took a year off from this game, but then the Stormblood hype finally bit me hard and now it's time to blow the dust off my warrior and go RAAAAAAAAGE against the empire--

Wait. WHAT? What is happening here?? I'm confused and scared! I don't like this Beast gauge. It doesn't make me feel beastly at all!

The night is so long and cold.

Nothing beastly about it anymore

Okay. Should I take storm's path off my bar? It doesn't do anything anymore, right?

Not sure if trolling, but no. Storm's Path is your best combo.

Not trolling. Had display action pop-ups disabled on my bars for three years. Forgot I could turn it back on to read descriptions of abilities. Yeah, it's nice. I guess.

[Venjenz]

Yeah, it's nice. I guess.

Better than "nice, I guess."

If output dmg is the goal, HS->Maim->SP is the winning combo. SE is the dmg buff combo, BB is the enmity and SP is the straight best DPS. Do the math, and SP wins the DPS race (assuming the SE combo leads all fights for the buff/debuff).
