Bring Back HW Reprisal: Part 2

[SummerScorcher]

I've always been in favour of this. Remove it as a role action and restore our original as a DRK exclusive skill. And while we're at it do the same for low blow; PLD's never need it, and I've never seen a WAR use it.

I've been thinking about your second suggestion. What if we were to gain our old 100 potency Low Blow back, but it doesn't stun; instead, it could apply a slow debuff. Still in the CC area, but it doesn't make enemies stun resistant- should you need to actually stun it at a given time.
This would however reintroduce concern #4; DRK needing to be MT to get everything out of it's kit. It could be adressed in a couple of ways.
1. Perhaps, every time you gain some blood, it has a chance to reset the timer.
2. It could be stance specific. In Grit, it resets off parries, but out of Grit, it has a lowered cooldown. Say 25 seconds when in Grit, and 15 seconds when not.
They could even replace cross-role Low Blow with Brutal Swing to keep the stun in there.

Anyways, would be interesting, but not necessary at all. If I got to choose, I would much rather get our old Reprisal instead of Low Blow.

Good stuff indeed. Bring back the potency too. If they're going to lower Shield Swipe, they could raise our pot to make us the REAL counter attackers. I also like that it's not just another combo ender

Ah, I might not have been clear enough, but the potency will be with it as well yes. I'll try to make that a bit more clear in the OP.
