Here are my beefs with Warrior Traits:
Reckless Dodge – Damage foes at the end of a dodge roll.
– Can trigger sigil cooldowns and keep you in combat when you don’t want to.
Stick and Move – Get a damage bonus when endurance is not full.
– 3% damage bonus. Woo-hoo!
Short Temper – Gain 3 stacks of might for 5 seconds and 1 strike of adrenaline each time you are blocked.
– Appears to have an ICD? If the stacks lasted 10-20 seconds it’d be okay.
Powerful Banners – Banners do damage when summoned.
– Does about as much damage as a single auto-attack. Make it knockback and maybe it’d be more worthwhile.
Distracting Strikes – Apply confusion when you interrupt a foe.
– 3 stacks for 5 seconds.
Furious Speed – 10% chance to gain swiftness (3s) on critical hits.
– Too short of a duration or too low of a proc chance. Not a reliable source for Swiftness and completely crap compared to other tier 1 Arms traits.
Opportunist – Gain fury when you immobilize a target.
– 3 seconds of Fury, but no ICD. Maybe make it 5 seconds?
Last Chance – Gain quickness for 4 seconds when you strike a foe with less than 25% health (90-second cooldown).
– Way too long of a cooldown for something that tends to proc at useless times.
Sure-Footed – Increases stance duration by 25%.
– Stances don’t last long enough for this to have any significant impact.
Vigorous Return – Increases health on rally.
– lol
(All Tactics minor traits.)
– Wow, reviving bonuses. Neat.
Stronger Bowstrings – Increases longbow range.
– Actually reduces your longbow attack power, but has the added bonus of making your 1 and 2 100% projectile finishers.
Burning Arrows – Longbow damage is increased by 10% against burning foes.
– Burning doesn’t last long at all and longbow projectiles travel slowly.
Versatile Power – Gain might for 10 seconds on weapon swap.
– Only grants one stack. Maybe make it 3?
Warrior’s Sprint – Run faster while wielding melee weapons.
– 10% speed increase that doesn’t stack with anything. Not worth it at all.
Mobile Strikes – Movement skills break immobilize.
– Doesn’t work half the time. Adding a 1 second immunity to Immobilize after you bust out would be sweet.
Destruction of the Empowered – Deal 3% bonus damage per boon on your target.
– Much too out of the way to be worthwhile unless your build already relies on the Discipline tree. Completely negated by Protection.
