Proposed:

4 4 Shout. (1...12...15 second[s].) You have +5...25...30% chance of a critical hit with melee attacks against stationary foes. Initial effect: nearby foes lose 1...3...4 Energy.

---

This is a pretty straight-up offensive skill; moved it to Strength.

---

"I Meant to Do That!"

Current:

5 8 Shout. You gain 1...4...5 strikes of adrenaline if you are knocked-down.

Proposed:

2 3 Shout. (20 seconds.) Initial effect: Recharges your Warrior attack skills; gain 0...4...5 Energy for each skill recharged in this way. Ends and is disabled (7...5...4 seconds) if you knock down or interrupt a foe.

Stronger for what it was supposed to be for, useless for IWAY.

---

"I Will Survive!"

Proposed:

5 12 Shout. (3 seconds.) You have +5...17...20 armor and 3...9...10 damage reduction. Lose all adrenaline.

---

Non-elite Defy Pain alternative.

---

"On Your Knees!"

Current:

• See Unlinked Skills.

---

No longer lets you train things epically (soz, iway). As a tradeoff, lets you build adrenaline lolfast.

---

Berserker Stance

Current:

5 20 Stance. (5...10...11 seconds.) You attack 33% faster and gain 50% more adrenaline. Ends if you use a skill.

---

Plain Frenzy alternative.

---

Body Blow

Current:

7 Melee Attack. Deals +10...34...40 damage. Inflicts Deep Wound (5...13...15 seconds) if target foe has Cracked Armor.

Proposed:

8 Melee Attack. Deals +5...29...35 damage. Gain 2 Adrenaline and 3...7...8 Energy if target foe has Cracked Armor.

---

There was really no reason or justification for "nonelite pre-nerf Eviscerate" or "lower-adrenaline second Executioner's Strike", so I raised the adrenaline, lowered the damage, and removed the Deep Wound.
It's still a good skill; it's just not a better damage skill than the traditional great damage skills in every situation. In a team where cracked armor is prevalent, this still has an edge over them.

---

Bull's Charge

Current:

5 20 Elite Stance. (5...10...11 seconds.) You move 33% faster. Causes knock-down if you hit a moving foe in melee. Ends if you use a skill.

Proposed:

2 2 Elite Stance. (1...5...6 seconds.) You move 50% faster. The next time you hit a moving foe with a melee attack skill, that foe is knocked down and you gain 0...2...2 adrenaline. Ends after your next attack skill. Cannot be used if you are adjacent to a foe.

---

Aggression at its finest. It's pretty much what it was before, but more usable: Bull's, Bull's, Bull's.

---

Burst of Aggression

Current:

5 12 Stance. (2...8...10 seconds.) You attack 33% faster. End effect: lose all adrenaline.

Proposed:

2 1 Stance. (3...5...6 seconds.) Gain 0...2...2 Adrenaline. You attack 33% faster. End effect: lose all adrenaline.

---

I'm not sure exactly how this would pan out, but I think it would serve well as a Frenzy alternative for certain builds. Because of its nature, it would be unreliable at best with high-adrenaline skills like Decapitate and Executioner's Strike; it would, I think, be limited to low-adrenaline bars like Cleave.
I believe that "you take double damage" might be appropriate here, but I'd have to see it in play to judge whether or not that was absolutely necessary.

---

Charging Strike

Current:

5 5 Elite Stance. (1...8...10 second[s].) You move 33% faster and deal +10...34...40 damage with your next melee hit. Ends when you hit or if you use a skill.

---

Born and raised to be a spike caller's delight.

---

Counterattack

Current:

5 6 Melee Attack. Deals +5...29...35 damage. You gain 2...5...6 Energy if target foe is attacking.

Proposed:

---

Functionality change and appropriate attribute move.

---

Defy Pain (PvP)

5 Elite Stance. (20 seconds.) You have +90...258...300 maximum Health and +20 armor.

Proposed:

1 Elite Skill. (2 seconds.) You have +10...34...40 armor and 1...12...15 damage reduction. End effect: lose all adrenaline.

---

Yes, it's still maintainable. No, you won't be doing much else while maintaining it.

---

Enraging Charge

Current:

5 20 Stance. (5...13...15 seconds.) You move 25% faster. Gain +0...3...4 adrenaline on your next attack. Ends when you hit.

Proposed:

5 6 Stance. (0...3...4 seconds.) You move 25% faster and gain 1 adrenaline per second while moving. Cannot be used if you are adjacent to a foe. No effect unless you are in earshot of a foe.

---

No more insta-devham. More adrenaline gain overall.

---

Flourish

Current:

5 1 8 Elite Skill. Recharges your attack skills. You gain 2...6...7 Energy for each skill recharged.

Proposed:

• See Tactics.

---

While it is an offensive skill, it's not so much a direct offensive skill.

---

Grapple

Current:

• See Unlinked Skills.

Proposed:

5 ¾ 12 Touch Skill. Deals 0...24...30 damage and causes knockdown. You are also knocked down if target foe is moving, using a skill, or attacking.

---

Made usable.

---

Leviathan's Sweep

Current:

5 8 Melee Attack. Deals +5...17...20 damage. Causes knock-down and deals 10...29...34 damage if blocked.

Proposed:

10 Melee Attack. Causes knock-down. Failure with Strength 13 and below.

---

I'm really not sure if I like this. I designed it with hammers in mind, giving them the option of charging up extra adrenaline in exchange for a longer knocklock chain. However, I'm not sure if I'd like to see a sword warrior KD something for 9 seconds between Bull's, this, and Shock.
The one thing that would keep such things in check, I think, is the opportunity cost: sword and axe bars are strapped for space as it is, let alone with the skills I've improved in their respective lines. All-in-all, I think this skill would be strong, but not "all wars must have this" strong.

---

Lion's Comfort

Current:

4 1 1 Skill. You are healed for 50...98...110 and gain 0...2...3 strike[s] of adrenaline. Disables your signets (12 seconds).

Proposed:

4 1 Skill. (2 seconds.) Initial effect: gain 0...2...3 strike[s] of adrenaline. End effect: lose 0...2...2 conditions. You move and attack 15% slower.

---

Lions are lazy. Thematics aside, the heal shouldn't've been in this attribute, and the activation time made this pretty unusable in competitive play: the heal has been replaced with a condition removal (which is spectacularly useful) and the activation time has been replaced with a mild slowing effect.

---

Primal Rage

Current:

4 10 Elite Stance. (1...12...15 second[s].) You attack 33% faster and move 25% faster. You take double damage.

Proposed:

2 Elite Stance. (1...5...6 second[s].) You attack 33% faster and move 25% faster. You take double damage.

---

Yeah, you can keep it up forever. But, like Defy, it limits your ability to do other things by sucking your adrenaline.

---

Rush

Current:

4 Stance. (8...18...20 seconds.) You move 25% faster.

Proposed:

• See Tactics.

---

See the note on the Tactics page.

---

Shield Bash

Current:

5 20 Skill. (5...10...11 seconds.) You block the next attack skill. Causes knock-down and +15 second recharge if it was a melee skill. No effect unless you are wielding a shield.

Proposed:

• See Tactics.

---

See the note on the Tactics page.

---

Shove

Current:

• See Tactics.

Proposed:

5 ¾ 15 Elite Touch Skill. Deals 10...38...45 damage and causes knockdown. Initial effect: end's foes stance and deals an additional 10...38...45 damage if target foe is moving.

---

Another straight-up offensive skill moved to Strength.

---

Signet of Stamina

Current:

¼ 20 Signet. You have +50...250...300 maximum Health. Ends if you hit with an attack.

Proposed:

12 Signet. (5 seconds.) You have +5...17...20 maximum Energy and gain 2...4...5 Energy whenever you hit with an attack. Energy gained from attacks cannot increase your Energy above 10...22...25.

---

This skill does absolutely nothing unless you're low on energy, in which case it's three seconds of awesome that goes away when it's done. Very well designed, if I do say so myself.

---

Signet of Strength

Current:

1 45 Signet. Your attacks deal +5 damage. Ends after 1...13...16 attack[s].

Proposed:

12 Signet. For your next attack skill, all of your attributes are considered to be 3...15...18.

---

Buffing dev sword because it's a fun and balanced build.

---

Soldier's Strike

Current:

• See Tactics.

Proposed:

10 6 Melee Attack. Deals +10...26...30 damage and an additional +3 damage for each rank in Tactics. Unblockable and you gain 3...6...7 Energy if you are under the effects of a chant or shout.

---

Damage skill. Less Tactics, more Strength. As per "Soldier's" nomenclature change, scales with both attributes.

---

Sprint

Current:

5 15 Stance. (8...13...14 seconds.) You move 25% faster.

Proposed:

3 Stance. (1...7...8 second[s].) You move 33% faster.

Rush alternative.

---

Thrill of Victory

Current:

• See Tactics.

Proposed:

5 8 Melee Attack. Deals +5...33...40 damage. If you have more Health than your target, you gain 1...4...5 Energy and 1...2...2 adrenaline.

---

Damage skill. Strength. You get the idea.

---

Tiger Stance

Current:

5 20 Stance. (4...9...10 seconds.) You attack 33% faster. Ends if you fail to hit.

Proposed:

4 Stance. (4...9...10 seconds.) You attack 33% faster. Disables your non-attack skills (10...6...5 seconds).

---

Tiger's Fury copy. I like the fact that it disables every form of IMS.

---

Warrior's Cunning

Current:

10 60 Skill. (5...10...11 seconds.) Your melee attacks are unblockable.

Proposed:

• See Tactics.

---

Functionality change and appropriate attribute move.

---

Instead of being "Zealous Vow with no drawback", it's "Zealous Vow with an Awesome Drawback". Or just "Awesome".
