There is nothing worse than the sound of my charges disappearing. It tells me run or die. Sometimes when mobs with charges on them die, the sound of their charges disappearing also makes me run.
Agreed. The only way to deal with groups as melee is to have at least 4 End. charges up. Possibly another way of dealing with large incoming damage is to have a Guard skill. I imagine we could rework Enduring Cry to be something more active, like below.
Ox Stance
- You guard against incoming attacks, gaining 0.5 Endurance charges per second while also losing 5% movement speed per second. Toggled ability. Endurance charges are lost at a rate of 0.5 per second, and movement speed is regained at a rate of 5% per second upon ability cancellation. Max reduction based on Endurance charge limit.
Sounds similar to Enduring Cry, but requires more finesse to use. As a toggle, you have to balance between not slowing yourself to a standstill, and not allowing yourself to get obliterated. Can be used by both melee and ranged, but ranged will suffer from the movement speed penalty the most. Melee can use Whirling Blades and Flicker Strike to get around, and ranged could possibly make turret builds with this. But they would have to build for Endurance charges to make full use of it.
OR, you can make the ability require using a melee weapon if we don't want ranged to exploit it.
Might need some tweaking, but I think it would be a neat ability that would require a bit of focus to use. Think I'll post this on the official forums.
