I disagree.

Shouts should remain support.

If anything, they should buff Physical skills. They are the CC/interrupts of the warrior.

Nobody cares about physical skills, they are basicly “Arcane.” skills except worthless.

well i care and they are not worthless but indeed they need to be buffed.

And Shout skills are support. Physical skills are CC.

Doesn’t matter if you care or not.

I wouldn’t mind a shout that was nothing but a 1 second AE daze (and can be traited to heal of course), but adding any amount of daze to the other shouts is so stupidly overpowered.

Hell, even an AE daze might be overpowered depending if perplexity would get applied to everyone interrupted (unsure if it would or just hit 1 and go on cooldown).

I don’t make balance changes around gear. WvWvW will always be unbalanced. 3 1/4 dazes on 20-30 second timers is not OP. That is less then 1 Lightning Field.

It definitely adds a little more strategy to the mix. I can shout to heal myself, shout to apply X effect, shout to cleanse a condition via Soldier Runes, or shout to interrupt. OR ALL OF THE ABOVE

For once, I like it. I’ll take .25 second daze + 5 seconds of Weakness (demoralizing enough?). Remove the damage aspect and nerf the range to 300. To avoid the QQ, add a 5 second icd to the trait.
