More stun breaker shout ?
No because ANET doesn’t want to endorse any more bunkering. They don’t like the current meta where all the gurdians and eles bunker in pvp and don’t want warriors to do that too. They want to nerf those guys, and give warrior better tools to deal with it. That is the direction ANET is heading with warriors, counter bunker.
Besides that Shout builds are going to be even less used now than they were 6 months ago when we got dogged march, there is absolutely no reason to run shout builds anymore. You many ran shout builds to deal with conditions, as the 1k heals didnt help much and usually you just have 2 shouts for 2 little 1k heals and ability to remove 3 condions with that set up.
Now you can remove those 3 conditions with a burst skill and you have the whole dogged march melandru setup which makes you unstoppable. Plus healing surge and mending have had their cool downs reduced. Why warriors still want to run these bad builds is beyond me. Why some warriors still think they are good and superior builds is beyond me.
Shouts never scaled well with healing power and to make them actually decent you needed a full clerics set up with made your warrior suck even more.

There is already a stun breaker shout, “Shake It Off!”.
If the leaked patch notes are accurate, they’ve added stun breakers to utility classes that didn’t have them before, namely signets and physical skills. But the stun breakers are still heavily contained in the stance skills. However, I don’t think they added a stun breaker to banners…
In any case, we still don’t know the official changes, so for all we know every utility skills will now be a stun breaker.
If they did make another shout a stun breaker, I think “Fear Me!” would probably be the best candidate, perhaps OMM as an alternative, but definitely not FGJ.
perhaps OMM as an alternative…
I agree. OMM is a good candidate to include a stun breaker. Its an underused shout and could use some polish. “Fear Me” is already powerful even on a longer cooldown.

Yeah, but it doesn’t have good internal synergy. You will generally use OOM as part of a burst combo, so the stun break will just get wasted when you do your burst. It also might mean that the skill will need a longer cooldown since it’s a stun breaker. The engineer utility goggles has the same sort of characteristic. Fear Me already has a long cooldown, so they could just leave it at that.
I guess one could say the same thing about frenzy though.

That’s not its only use. And no, I don’t use it as part of a burst combo. Right now, there are other utilities that are better. Now, if it had a stun breaker with the regular shout, then I would seriously have to reconsider it. I could see it being useful in a few builds.
