WAR/DRK Changes Suggestions

[Tegernako]

I am not suggesting they make all of these changes but at least some of them should be implemented:

1. Delete shake it off or completely revamp it. The very existence of this skill is an insult when you look at what DRK/PLD got and when you realize WAR has zero utility. Either remove it, revamp it, or replace it with a brand new skill and give it to us at an earlier level like you did with PLD and total eclipse.

2. Make Onslaught increase gauge when under a stance and remove it entirely from being only usable while in a stance.

3. Remove stance change penalty completely.

4. Buff potency of WAR's combos

5. More then ever, the clunky nature of equilibrium has become apparent. Now that we can't swap whenever we want without heavy punishment, the healing factor of it while great (but now by far, worse then clemency in every regard) becomes a hindrance. If I need the heal, i need to lose half my gauge and GOD forbid I'm in inner release when I need that health, you need to do something to change this ability it is with the new stance change mechanics horribly clunky and punishing to use. Make it use TP or something to heal. And restoring 200 TP if we die or if we need it is a joke, bare minimum it should be 500 if they keep the dual nature of the skill.

6. Remove Inner Beast and Unchained from the Same CD. It is unacceptable that one ability should completely invalidate the existence of another.

7. In the future, work on giving WAR some new ability that gives it more team utility. Whether it be increasing team damage, defenses, or health. It needs SOMETHING. Because OT war is useless and MT the only way WAR is "useful" is if it does nothing but spam IB and tanking is something any tank can do and saying "you can spam ib and have mitigation!" doesn't work when PLD has massive team utility while doing an even better job MT and even DRK flawed as the class is, can offer something in the form of TBN. The very least they can do to make up for that, is give us a DOT.

8. Return bloodbath.

9. Give anyone of our ending combo's a DOT to replace them stealing and not replacing fracture, foresight, brutal swing, mercy stroke. Instead of like PLD, reworking the skills, they simply removed them. It is silly that PLD is the only tank that can slot every skill it lost but DRK and WAR both lost skills that were not replaced. Instead of making their DOT work like Goring Blade, they just removed it. Instead of reworking foresight, brutal swing, or mercy stroke they just remove it. PLD can get back everything it lost, the only tank that can do that. DRK and WAR already lack in utility, it is ridiculous that we have to slot utility that we had before leaving us with less options then PLD when it comes to choosing tank skills.

10. Actually on that topic, give us back brutal swing. It is unacceptable that we do not learn a single OGCD until level 62. Give us back fracture and make it OGCD. DO SOMETHING. We are the only tank that suffers like that.

11. Delete Shake it Off

12. I'm sure I'll think of other things.
