Slight buffs to WAR

[whiskeybravo]

That says absolutely nothing about war. The question mentioned war, then the answer conpletely ignores job specific buffs. Its just what cooler heads realized pretty quick. Tanks are in a good spot. The only buff they mentioned was defensive CD durations. Of course the standard "everything looks fine but we are watching savage performance just in case".

How do people jump to these conculsions?

The reddit translation was a little loose "he did [see] voices on how WAR should be slightly buffed a little. So he is considering maybe extend the duration [on] some skills. And so on."

Honestly I thought they might've been referring to Eye duration but when the official translation came out they clarified defensive buffs.

I don't understand why everyone has an obsession with wanting to spam their gapcloser on cd. Just adds needless busywork to the job. Onslaught already fulfills its role well, its a gapcloser, so use it to close gaps, and as a dps ogcd during inner release windows.

Yeah that sounds pretty stock. "Tanks are doing well overall. We will continue to monitor the situation".

I am all about extending the defensive durations. Everything being 10 seconds really makes it feel bad to mitigate fluff. Between bosses casting and jink constantly you are lucky to cover 2-3 autos with any mitigation, so theres no point in using it except for tank busters and dungeons still feel weird to me with sich short durations on extended duration pulls. It wont affect the primary purpose for busters but anything to have an impact for more of a fight ill get behind.

I wanted to talk about Onslaught, but didn't want to make a whole new thread.

I think a nice QoL buff would be, like OP suggested, remove the Beast Gauge cost from Onslaught; and maybe even make it ADD Beast Gauge.

It's a fun skill to use, and I don't think those changes would break the Warrior and make it OP. It'd just be an extra OGCD that we can use offensively and which would feel good for the Warrior since it gives this feeling of momentum (adding to the Beast Gauge, not just the movement)

Why would you want to increase upheaval cd of all things? And ill pass on making it a skills speed reduction actuon. That will just immediately desynch it from IR so you will have to hold it anyway. Putting it on the gcd also is just a nerf to IR as it now replaces a fell cleave and slows down your gauge by another gvd in all other cases. Nothing to be gained from either of those changes to upheaval. They would just all be nerfs to the only ogcd attack of value we still have.

It was never "required" as you get what you need from stats on gear and never melded anyway.
