Inner Release doesn't work as it should?

[ScytheScythe]

Well, on inner release skill description says:

"Grants 3 stacks of Inner Release, each stack allowing the use of Beast Gauge actions without cost and guaranteeing that all attacks are critical and direct hits.
Additional Effect: Nullifies Stun, Sleep, Bind, Heavy, and most knockback and draw-in effects
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Extends Surging Tempest duration by 10s to a maximum of 60s
Additional Effect: Grants Primal Rend Ready
Duration: 30s"

Well there something I don't understand here, skill description says" all attacks that consume gauge will cause a critical and a direct hit", but, GCD abilities that DON'T CONSUME GAUGE are causing critical and direct hit as well (except auto attacks) and consuming the stacks of Inner release". Its a glitch ? Or I'm not paying attention on the skill description?

On older version, gauge, non-gauge skill and auto attacks does critical and direct hit.

This is the old description :

"Allows the use of Beast Gauge actions without cost and nullifies Stun, Sleep, Bind, Heavy and most knockback and draw-in effects.

Additional Effect: Guarantees that all attacks are critical and direct hits.
Duration: 10s
Additional Effect: Extends Storm's Eye duration by 15s to a maximum of 60s"

Well, thanks for your attention and opinions.

1)each stack allowing the use of Beast Gauge actions without cost

AND

2)guaranteeing that all attacks are critical and direct hits.

because of the AND in there it ties together that any weaponskill you use will suck up a stack. tooltips are annoying but it does make sense.

This definitely confused me. Why didn't they just make spenders consume stacks so that we can actually use offensive oGCDs in between cleaves?

The critical direct hit only appears on weaponskills. Talents and autohits aren´t effected anymore, meanwhile any weaponskill will cause 1 beaststack to drop.

Yeah, the english tooltip is curious.

because SE doesnt care about warrior and it shows. If the jobs were made "easier", as they love saying EVERY expansion, then IR would work the way you said. it would ONLY "eat" BG skills (this was also a problem with the last riddle of earth stacks on monk: it would eat it with ANY skills, including form shift).

i just went into a 79/80 dungeon. tried to use nascent ON MYSELF and i couldnt. now THAT'S something that isnt working the way it should.

You can just use 3x Fell Cleave/Decimate any time you use IR, we don't need jobs being dumbed down to the point where it's impossible to make mistakes.

Raw Intuition/Bloodwhetting gives you mitigation and healing now, Nascent Flash is specifically for party members.

hmm i got the last part now. as someone was like saying NF did it and i was like noo... it doesnt?

im just saying that SE says they want to make things easier, and that would make it easier. so many players prepull using IR in general without applying storm's eye (or bc you know, the gcd speed thing along with 10s wouldnt be punishment either). there still would be skill involved, such as knowing how early to pre-pop and get another sooner, but that doesnt exist with initial pulls it seems. so one can get ahead using the 30s to advantage, but other than that, it does solve the SKS issue

Onslaught and upheaval do not consume ir stacks. So ir seems to be working as intended. You wouldn't really want to hit combo weapons kills in between cleaves anyway I think.

[NyneSwordz]

Hmm. Ir duration is 15 secs. Not 30 btw.

I am dumbfounded as to why anyone would hit anything other than felcleave in the first place. Aside from AoE lol. How is this an issue, by habbit you should be spamming fel cleaves anyway. What is this?
