[WAR Request] Please consider swapping Berserk's and Inner Release's core effects!

[Rollout]

Current Berserk: Grants 3 stacks of Berserk, each stack guaranteeing weaponskill attacks are critical and direct hits.

Current Inner Release: Grants 3 stacks of Inner Release, each stack allowing the use of Fell Cleave or Decimate without cost and guaranteeing they are critical and direct hits.

Please consider changing this to the following.

New Berserk: Grants 3 stacks of Berserk, each stack allowing the use of Inner Beast, Fell Cleave, Steel Cyclone or Decimate without cost.

New Inner Release: Grants 3 stacks of Inner Release, each stack allowing the use of Fell Cleave or Decimate without cost and guaranteeing they are critical and direct hits.


As it currently stands, Berserk is awkward to use. Either you use it on cooldown and just use it on whatever random attacks as you please. Or you hold all of your beast gauge and an Infuriate so that you can use all three Berserk stacks on Inner Beasts/Fell Cleaves.

Changing the effect would not only make it more interesting for lower level players, but it also mimics how the gameplay will feel at higher levels.

Inner beast does less damage than storm’s whatever, so there’s actually more gauge management at lower levels. Please don’t ask them to take away the only part of warrior that requires use of the communal brain cell.

God forbid you have a period of WAR gameplay where you need to actually manage your gauge and GCDs.

Don't worry, they'll "fix" that eventually. Anything requiring even a modicum of consideration is being removed from Warrior

Man, while it wasn't the "best" iteration, I wish we could have something like 4.1 Warrior back where gauge management actually mattered.

But they removed even more management by just removing gauge cost from Upheaval AND Onslaught, the latter being now objectively worse in my opinion because it is now a "mandatory" button rather than a close-to-damage-neutral gapcloser you can use for optimisation.

Thanks for my 4th version of Plunge, really wanted that. /s
(this also effectively killed Bozja's Blood Rage combo)

Just for the one hit. The other two still go to Inner Beast.

[Kallis]

Extremely confused by this request. Berserk is a Lv.6 ability, are you saying that should also be changed to not unlock until getting Inner Beast at Lv.35 ? Why would any WAR want this? As was stated above, Inner Beast potency is actually LESS than Storm's Path at that level, so this would make even less sense.

Sounds like a suggestion from same people that couldn't handle a tank AoE being a cone instead of circle. Please please PLEASE for the love of the Fury, stop taking suggestions like this to neuter WAR for no reason. This is such a problem for the job right now and one that probably isn't going to be fixed, it seems.

Personally, I wish they'd just switch their names; Berserk sounds way cooler then Inner Release. (๑´ㅂ`๑)

Personally I want them both back.

Ah yes, that oh-so-important management really matters big time at lower levels, right? whoa there pal, if you don't manage your gauge and spend all willy nilly on your berserk, you might not make the enrage timer on AV's boss... right?

God forbid you have a period of WAR gameplay where you need to actually manage your gauge and GCDs.

For what, exactly? You feel some pressing need to think? Unless the gameplay reflects endgame, which it doesn't, then there's little need to consider low level gameplay.
