Dark Knight Redesign For Fun

[Shurrikhan]

As others noted, this qualm is easily fixed by increasing duration and reducing cooldown time to be equal so that all three stances can be refreshed restoring player choice over everything including sequence.

Fair enough, but as at that point you're looking at something fundamentally different -- choice in stance rather than mandatory rotation. If the latter isn't something that matters to you, then fair enough -- make the change and I think many a tank would be more willing to read over the rest with interest -- but the difference is hardly one of numbers-tuning.

Mandatory rotation isn't really important in my mind in this, and considering this post is nearly half a year old, looking back at this I think that recasts of 15 seconds and duration of 20 seconds works much better giving an option of safe play and giving the option of much riskier dps play, and also having a middle ground of play. However, I am no game designer and this was mainly meant to be a fun thing not a serious suggestion. I doubt my "redesign" is defensively strong enough to really be a tank. However, I strongly believe that everything has to be made and tested to determine if it works, is fun to play, and is intuitive, of course here we don't have the opportunity for that here.
