Shield Stance to consume adrenaline
Send Gold to: Chrispytoast
I had that idea few months ago, but forgot to suggest.
That would make the shield stance way more useful than it’s now
Totally agree with your suggestion!
Sounds fun.
Thus it’s clearly inappropriate for the warriors have it.

1 block per adren bar? 1 sec per adren bar?
I just ran the numbers going with that Shield stance would consume 6 ticks of adrenaline a second. This would increase the block duration to 5 seconds for using all of our adrenaline. But if you are set up for blocking… If you pop Berserker’s Stance when you start blocking that will extend your total time to 8.33 seconds of blocking.
If you have SoR available that increases to 8.66 seconds.
If you pop SoF after all your adrenaline is gone this will grant you another 5 seconds of blocking so 13.33 w/o SoR and 14 with SoR
So for 14 seconds of blocking, you have used up all your adrenaline, used 2 out of 3 of your utilites and not used SoR. Seems like it would be good but not OP.
Forgot about healing surge. This would add 5 more seconds totaling 18.33 w/o SoR or 19.33 with SoR

You often need to use Shield Block very early… it would sort of make you a sitting duck until you gain some Adrenaline.. if there was a way around this without forcing me to replace my utilities it would be cool.. or if this was just an additional F2 skill that warriors can use.. some immunity similar to how Mesmers can get that invulnerability

Bring Signet of Fury, you could pop it to be instantly able to block in case you didn’t have any adrenaline. It still gives you freedom of 2 utilities.

They should add more than 2 weapon sets
or
Add different burst abilities based on weapon set in use.One for main and one for off hand etc. 2 for GS etc.Offensive and defensive.
Ppl suggested this multiple times but devs don’t listen.
With the new Berserker’s stance you could reach up to 21.66 seconds without SoR and 22.48 seconds with SoR.
With the Sure Footed trait you could add roughly 1.5 seconds to each of these totals

I agree. When I’m trying to close in on a kiting enemy I often do so behind shield stance.
It would be extremely bad, especially in PvE.
Furious and Sharpened Axes, coupled with high crit rate results in Axe/Shield getting a full 3 bars in a matter of a few seconds.
No way to balance it around that, as your options are:
- Balance it around Furious and Sharpened Axes, resulting in it being too weak without those
- Ignore the adrenaline traits and risk warriors becoming tanks in PvE
Not to mention that it would quite literally make Signet of Fury into a beefed up Endure Pain.
