SW would need a whole lot of adjustments to be made into some kind of warband viable melee. This would just end up making Marauders too strong (Rampage has a huge drawback in that it drains class mechanic, on a DPS class - Marauder would benefit a ton more because it allows debuffs/CC to strike through) while Order really doesn't get anything in return in practice.Foofmonger wrote: Fri May 08, 2020 8:02 pm Give ASWs a GTDC varaint.
Give Mara's Rampage but lock it behind being in Brutality/Monstro stances (and it gets purged if you switch to Savagery stance).
Now Slayer/Choppa are still powerful and good classes, ASW and Brut Marauders which are underperforming specs get a little love, both realms get parity with having access to the same kinds of ability/tactics, but not a direct mirror to allow for the uniqueness of balance that is the core of the WAR experience.
Best of all, less forum posts about the topic!
(also a shameless attempt at more Mara buffs, obviously).
There's a false equivalence being drawn between GTDC, which has a huge impact on all scales of RvR, and Rampage which basically lets Slayers backload damage against shield tanks if they're standing directly in front of them. If we wanted to even out pulls, Engineer pull would have to trigger as soon as it's cast like Magus (instead of having a long delay), and WL would need some way to pull that isn't reliant on a spastic pet.
