Stunning Strike?
Stunning Strike requires 10 adrenaline strikes and gives dmg bonus and dazed for about 9 sec (assuming 12 spear but who would run less?). Even wtih the damage bonus, I don't think this skil requires 10 adrenal strikes, I would put an 8 on it.
As I had explained to me a week or so ago. Dazed is a very powerful condition. It's pretty much a total caster shutdown. You're missing the point that it not only costs 10 adrenaline, but it also required another condition before it applies the dazed. If you're having trouble building up the 10 adrenaline cost try using Focused Anger or Natural Temper with it. I absolutely LOVE Stunning Strike...great vs Monks in AB.
Also, do not rule out "Make Your Time!". I have recently been growing more and more fond of it. I underestimated how much of a difference four adrenaline could make.
Aggressive Refrain + "For great justice" (when AR almost out, use "Make your time") -> Natural temper
Spam Signet of Aggression whenever it recharges since AR is constantly on, give you +25% atsp (which helps you gain adre faster when using FGJ and NT)
