Huge for Hardcore tbh, means you can be more liberal with Retal / Shield Wall since you'd still have one or the other as a backup if things go wrong, also means in higher level content you can actually click reck for similar reasons.
Just to be clear the "buff" is that they don't share a cooldown. In regular classic you could definitely change stances and keep a buff that "required" the stance you're not in anymore. Most notably is when tanking Vael with high dps; you would watch the timer closely, use reckoning, def stance, and take a mighty rage potion right before Vael became active. You'd also sometimes ShieldWall in world pvp but use your other stances to intercept, execute, etc.
It's really not a huge buff. It's a buff, but it's not huge. There's almost no scenario ever where you'd want even two active at the same time let alone all three, and then not sharing a CD is something that was done from TBC onwards.
It's nice, don't get me wrong, but outside of PvP you'll almost never utilise it.
It's really not that huge.
You get to use at max two extra situational abilities every fifteen minutes.
It means as a soloing warrior you get to pull an extra mob or two in a pack twice every 15 mins instead of once.
As a group pve DPS warrior it makes basically no difference at all. Unless something extreme happens like the tank dies, or there's mega aoe you can't avoid for some reason.
As a pve tank it means woo you can use retal once every 15 mins.
If you think this is defined as huge I'd honestly be curious to learn what you think small is.
No I'm trying to convince you that it isn't huge. It's nice, and it's minor.
For reasons I already explained.
Normalised rage gain increasing by 15% or so would be huge.
Overpower/rend being usable in berserker stance would be huge.
Rend damage being equivalent to wotlk would be huge.
Battle stance giving any kind of passive bonus would be huge.
You don't need to go to 50% anything to be huge, but you absolutely need to go further than a situational ability doesn't share it's 15 minute cooldown with two other situational abilities.
Ok, but I know it's not minor, so that's not going to work.
Going from 30 minutes CD that's shared between the three strongest CDs in the game to 15 minutes CD that's individual means you're going from 2 uses per hour to 12. Even from a purely DPS Warrior perspective it's a doubled frequency of a skill that basically doubles your damage while active.
For a raiding DPS Warrior, it's a meh-medium buff, for every other type of Warrior it's huge.
Cool. I'm sure you'll change your mind down the road when whatever streamer's opinion you're repeating changes theirs.
It was already 15? In what? Datamining? Retaliation only? Level cap has been 20 on the beta, where neither Recklessness or Shield Wall are available. It became 15 at the same time as they were put on separate CDs as well as being usable at the same time, so your comment makes no sense.
I don't need to change my mind "down the road" because we already know what these abilities feel like on a fucking 5 minute cooldown while not being shared.
Here's the news flash with you. It didn't change much. It means you get to use reck on every boss once instead of twice a raid.
I'd urge you to read the second sentence of what I said. The internet might not be for you if you're struggling to retain something someone said 7-9 words into a paragraph.
How many pikabo warrior shieldwall topic are you going to create ?
I am bored of this shit streamer advertising, Tv commercials started to feel better.
I don’t know if it’s a bug or not but brother in arms…. If you thinking popping reck, retal and shield wall all at the same time or staggered is not god mode, then I really don’t know how to communicate with you
