Warrior utility: Rallying Cry needs tuning!

Classes Warrior
1

The current iteration of Rallying Cry is highly undertuned compared to similar abilities other classes have, and that is especially true in smaller group sizes like dungeons and mythic plus.

For 11.2, I highly recommend the following tuning for Rallying Cry:

  • Reduce the CD from 3 minutes to 2 minutes
  • Increase the duration from 10 seconds to 12 seconds
  • Remove the GCD (it is fair to say that warriors are capable of attacking and screaming the same time)

These three things alone would make Rallying Cry not overpowered by any means, would make the ability a fun button to press while doing damage to support the team, and all in all make the class more fun.

In addition to this, Rallying Cry should have more spice than giving the party 10% temporal health. Fun ideas that would increase the viability of Rallying Cry are:

  • In addition, group members receive a shield of X% of the warrior’s health for the duration
  • In addition, X% the warrior leeches also applies to group members for the duration
  • In addition, removes movement impairing effects and grants X% movement speed to group members for the duration (taken from Battlefield Commander PvP talent)

Any other ideas? Thank you.

Rally Crying should be 10% instead of 5%.

No, that’s just lazy as hell, there are unlimited ideas to change this, this one is not it

A small mitigation effect could be added too, like reduces dmg taken by 30% , 20% in raid group. I insist on my idea I said on a previous post of increases healing received by a fair amount like 15% so it can be aligned with major healing cooldowns for fast recovery.
