These are the results after theorycrafting current problems and thinking of every possible outcome or situation that I could think of with these changes; including Restorative Strength with double heal skill, Mighty Defenses’ might gain when blocking with Blademaster, making these changes work for every possible weapon set such as Mace/Axe, Sword/Board, and more!
So… you “theorycraft every possible outcome”… and you don’t bother showing any of that process? Not a very good start.
As for your changes:
- Why should Cyclone Axe reflect projectiles? Cyclone Axe isn’t broken in any way, it’s very popular in PvE.
- Your Crushing Blow suggestion is OP. Not to mention that it promotes sitting on all of your adrenaline, which we already have enough of with Berserker’s Power, Adrenal Health and Heightened Focus.
- Where the heck did you get Knockback on Dual Strike? OH Axe is a damage weapon, not a CC weapon. The biggest problem with Dual Strike is that Whirling Axe currently kind of sucks and Warriors have too much Fury from other sources.
- Again, where the hell does condi removal on Stomp come from? I don’t think anyone has ever said “Man, Stomp would be awesome if I could take it in place of a condi clear”. Lower the cooldown and make the animation faster and it’ll be useable as-is.
- I think that your Inspiring Banners is a tad bit OP. Warriors already take Banner of Strength and Banner of Discipline in dungeons, you don’t need to make those stronger.
- I don’t like your version of Physical Training simply because Axes get Fury from Dual Strike and Greatsword gets it from Arcing Slice. If they were able to get Fury from Bull’s Charge, that’d make those skills even more useless. And your suggested fixes wouldn’t change that.
- You’ve basically revamped Furious Reaction into being a one-off anti-burst skill. Also, considering how Thieves play (strong in beginning, weak later on), this would make
1. Why not, it gives quick skillful play in pvp and it doesnt affect PvE much, in fact it will be a good bonus of close to no big deal.
2. Yes, maybe it is OP for 3 condition removal, maybe make it more like 2 per full adrenaline, then 1 for the rest. Because without it, it will not come close to sword or shield, ever. it does not promote sitting on adrenaline at all, looks like some one does not play PvP here, if you want to survive you will always need to use adrenaline. and in PvE, you already never use adrenaline, so doesnt really matter, plus why would you want to boon remove anyway, other classes have more relyable boon removal, and not like you need to remove a lot of boon in PvE anyway.
3. sure, but it definitely needs some thing.
4. Why not? you can ask the same thing why shadow return can remove condition and almost every other skill that has condition removal effect.
This skill will never be in use in the current stat, even if you lower the CD to like 20 seconds and reduced cast time, just like whirling axe damage buff, it doesnt matter.
5. No, it’s not OP, It’s a grandmaster trait in tactics line, it is already op as itself for perma regen, this change would only bring diversity to banner choice and interesting plays. Also he increased the CD to 10 seconds, so non of those buffs are perma compared to perma regen right now. but some of the buff duration can be tuned
6. I agree, i personnally think that physical skills give quickness would be much more interesting. since zerker war does not lack fury.
7. Like the other guy said, no matter how weak is Healing surge right now, i dont think you should get a second heal.
8. activation for Fury and Might is no where close to strong, right now they serve no props in PvP, and i blieve banner is way better for dungeons.
9. No comment.
10. If you think about it, it is grandmaster in arms, non of those hambow or w/e uses arms unless they give up a lot (CD reduction, damage, condition cleans, leg specialist, and more), but again, i think it takes some thing other then this, dont think its a good change.
11. Mace should be a defensive weapon, a bunker weapon, so 5% damage does not make sense.
it attacks really slow and will mostly never get to the 3rd hit (which applies weakness) = not reliable for weakness application and has a really small radius. either way, even you are extremely luck to hit some one on the 3rd hit, and they didn’t cleans the weakness(yes, if they cleans it, then the trait will be no more) and been able to keep attacking him (which is really rare). you will only know when you test it. and it also has competitors like Dogged march, reflect, shield mastery. after reading all these, im sure you will reconsider it.
12. no comment.
13. CD should be removed as i explained above
14. i agree, whatsup with the random nerf.
