Proposed Warrior Buffs

[Nioulan]

@DWolfwood Show me a WAR doing 3500+ DPS that does not have 100% enhanced Balance uptime and I'll agree with you. WAR does need straight up potency buffs. No utility = more DPS. I'll admit, the potency increases I listed are probably a bit much but they still need buffs.

I just had the best idea ever! So every one is complaining about how Warriors losing half their Beast Gauge whenever they change stances is killing their playstyle. And I agree! It's horrible! Unless you empty your gauge first, you're losing so much potential! All that beast power going away, disappearing into the void...

WELL, but what if it didn't disappear? What if... it got CONVERTED into something?! So like, switching into Deliverance will give you a damage buff for a few seconds based on how much beast power you lost, and maybe going into Defiance increases your damage reduction for a bit? Or something.

So if you build up to 100 in Defiance and then switch to Deliverance, how cool would it be if you got a 25% damage bonus for... let's say 10 seconds? I'm thinking 2% per point here.

And if you have to go into Defiance, what if you GAINED THE BLOODBATH EFFECT based on how much beast power you lost? So for 50 points, your attacks would heal you for 50% of the damage for 10 seconds as well.

This way, tanks wouldn't be as punished for having to tank swap. It would also reward main tanks who tank in Defiance, to switch into Deliverance and throw out some Fell Cleaves that will hit for some spicy extra damage.

Maybe tone the numbers down a bit if you think they're too high, but the main point is the concept of trading off beast power for a couple of short-timed buffs, instead of just having the beast power go to waste.

The "numbers" are not really that far apart outside of a few top players, though I agree in general that war should be higher given their lack of utility.

That's what's wrong. WAR should be doing considerably more DPS (by like 300-400 more) than the other two tanks that do actually bring raid utility, not the same.
