Distracting Strikes has been merged with Merciless Hammer. (Just as Dragonhunters can use Heavy Light’s stab on hard CC without needing to use a Longbow).

I am SUPER EXCITED for these changes, because they give Strength strong coherency and synergies with both itself and other traitlines.

Changes are looking good.

I hope “might makes right” does not have an internal cool down.
Nice buff to str/def/disc warriors.

The tooltip description doesn’t have a cooldown, so no! That trait will work really well with the dagger trait Sun and Moon Style especially due to the fact that Dagger auto grants might! Wow.

So much sustain. Oh and traited GS too of course!

EDIT: Also I believe, much like the Guardian trait Altruistic Healing it’ll proc for every might stack! 130*5 if you apply 5 stacks of might, etc

Please don’t move axe mastery to where merciless hammer was in the discipline tree!

I can’t afford to choose between that and Burst Mastery. Axe/ Axe requires both to even remain even slightly competitive to Gs.

Leave them where they were please!

I’m pretty sure that berserkers power + axe mastery gives you more DPS than Axe mastery + Burst precision

For how I play loosing burst ability, but mostly frequency is a big deal. The recharge on my burst from Burst Mastery was a major part of my build with the tie to Adrenal Health. This is why I run core warrior so I can have both Strength and Discilpline lines.
Discipline lets me grab Versitile Power as well, further adding to the greater burst ability I have.

You are right about the damage difference, But loosing out on my burst ability is far worse. If Axe Mastery does indeed go where Mercililess Hammer is now then I will have to drop at least one required trait.

For me damage is not everything. cool downs are important as well as my burst ability (frequency).

I really doubt it after all the buffs to strength, but who knows, I hope they do aswell.
