Default Possible buff to DBS and Warriors Cunning?

Heyo

Was recently doing some warrior build testing, and got a crazy little idea regarding these two skills. As they currently stand, they are useless. You can try to argue that in some crazy scenario, they will serve a purpose, but 98% of the time, they are obselete. I was thinking of a possible change to the functionality of the skill, into a sort of signet of strength idea.

Dwarven Battle Stance:
Your next 1..3 Hammer Attacks interrupt the target foe

Warriors Cunning, Drop recharge to 30s or 45 s, prolly put energy to 5:
Your next 2..4 Attacks cannot be blocked.

I'm not trying to make these skills the new build everyone is running, but what do you guys think about this? It would give them some chance to be in certain builds.

Just trying to bounce some ideas off the guru community :P

DBS is good as is.

People just don't like it thought >_>

Warriors cunning I can defenatly see a buff for though. The recharge is the worst part.

The Warriors cunning one is nice.

DBS would be kind of useless that way, if you wanna interrupt them just KD them.

cunning would be a good buff as the skill is basically useless right now imo

DBS is a really common gimmik build in ta and it needs no buff it's fine as is.

IF DBS was 5 energy, sure it would be a very good skill but with an energy pool like the warrior its why isnt used much

Warriors cunning i'd say it needs a little more buff than suggested by the OP.

I don't really like unblockable skills, but with all the new block skills it isn't a bad idea.

Though I rather have block skills nerfed then unblockable skills buffed.

Cunning needs lower recharge, but I'm not sure I like the next X..Y attacks, since it pretty much sets it up to be a spike skill.

DBS, is a solid skill as is, Start your attack with DBS, when it ends hit your chain and end the chain with [skill]Renewing Smash[/skill]

Use [skill]Serpent's Quickness[/skill] with Warriors Cunning to reduce the recharge to 40 secs. The beauty of Warriors is that its a "skill" not a "stance"

Use DBS and Warroirs Cunning together and have 10 seconds of 33% IAS that INTs everything with no fear of blockage.

Over 1200 skills availible, not too hard to find combo's that work, no need for changes

Serpent's Quickness needs you to invest in another attribute and with attribute points in it, it's kind of a dumb thing and a waste of a skill slot.
I said the recharge timer should be lowered to 45 seconds and the max duration (12 attributes) should be 13 seconds.

need moar warrior buffs.

Not really, but yea warrior's cunning would be better if it wasnt 10 energy and a WHOLE minute of recharge. and all that crap about serpents quickness + DBS + warriors cunning is a just a bad idea for warriors. Even with a zelous hammer and that IAS Its not worth investing Radiant armor JUST for the build, when nowadays spiking is inevitable if your health is too low, even for warriors 100/80 armor.

So yea, moar buffs to Warrior's cunning plz

Warriors Cunning reworked : for 2...5 seconds your attacks can't be blocked and all your attacks do criticals , 25 sec recharge, 10 energy cost.
Now maybe i would consider it

DBS is a very good skill as it is, the only reason I don't run it very much is the fact that with a DBS build all you will do is DBS all the time. This is effective but boring.
Maybe reduce the cost to 5, or you should be able to use skills (but still not attack skills) while it is active.
Warrior's cunning has never, ever, ever touch a single one of my skill bars, it needs a serious do-over. The trouble would be making unblockable spikes in PvP, I'm sure that with the recent split they could make it more useful in PvE.
