#BringBackHeavenswardReprisal

[Launched]

Bad idea, you're completely ignoring why it was removed in the first place. SE doesn't want to balance around these boring low effort/high uptime debuffs. Path, Delirium/DK and Reprisal were all removed because of that, but they're fine with mitigation you actually have to plan out which is why Divine Veil got to stay, Passage of Arms was added, Reprisal became 5s uptime/60s cooldown, and other roles got Virus/Feint as role skills. Don't expect SE to want to balance fights around one tank having a 2/3 uptime 10% debuff while the others have skills available way less often. That's just asking for DRK to be required in every group.

Ah wait, it functioned like war's old storms path with a -% long duration debuff? Ya no TY then... Don't get me wrong, its cool but that creates alot of other issues.

Theres one small feature you forgot to mention, old 3.x storm's path debuff could be kept up and reapplied whenever. It was a damage reduction for 10% (I think) that sat on the GCD. Reprisal 3.x was the same yes, however it was an OGCD with a short duration, which it sat on a 30sec CD and you couldn't proc it without parrying something first.

SE didn't want to balance around tanks getting to swap stances for free, and it was a bad idea to give that perk to just one tank, and yet here we are.

The game's balance will survive the restoration of 3.x Reprisal.
