Onslaught should get buffed.

For the love of war leave onslaught alone.

Dont just remove gauge. A 10 second recast spam ability makes no sense.

Dont make it a clone of the other tanks 2 charge system. Theres already problems with those as it is.

Combo systems and procs? What is wrong with a gap closer being a gap closer? Making it a dos gain skill just plops it right into the same issues plunge (and now all yhe other clones) have always had.

Onslaught is the only gap closer that is actually well designed. It does its job of closing gaps better than the alternatives. It has niche, nuanced uses in gauge management. It increases damage when used to close gaps without being locked into an inflexible dps rotation. It enhances wars job defining burst phase. Its one of the few places tanks havent been fully homogenized.

Leave it alone ffs.

Id like the cost removed. It just uneccessarily complicates things being tied to beast guage.

What problems do the others have? You use them if you're about to cap two charges and blow both for a burst phase. With Onslaught, it's straight up inferior. You only touch it during IR or if you're certain you'll lose a GCD otherwise.

I can see where you're coming from, and I do agree that it being tied to the BG forces you to only use it as a gap closer (outside of IR). I think the problem, however, is that it adds absolutely nothing to the BG itself. How is the BG otherwise defined? Damage abilities. This ability leads to damage, but it would lead to damage if it was off the BG too. My suggestion of "take it off the BG" might've been too black and white as it just puts it in the same clunky spot as the other tank gap closers. However, this is easily remedied by just removing the damage aspect of these abilities. People won't spam them for damage if they don't do damage. I don't even know why a movement utility skill needs to do damage to begin with - you don't see En Avant, Shukuchi, etc. doing damage.

That being said, I could get behind it being a combo off Upheaval. If the combo duration remains longer than Onslaught recast then you could hold it after Upheaval in the event it's needed for movement and not lose anything.

(To clarify I just mean bonus potency off Upheaval combo, not being locked behind a combo)

I don't really have a problem with either, but if Eye was increased to 40 seconds that's at least 2 more Path combos for gauge building, add combo'd Onslaught (at, I'm guessing, around 250 potency) every 30 seconds and WAR is bound to be in a little better shape.

At the very least it'd be better than re-learning Convalescence at lv78.
