Is there any reason to run Tactics anymore?

It seems sort of frivolous to run Tactics now even in PvE.

Soldier's Strike - hard to meet condition now, so Power attack is pretty much better

Wary Stance/Shield Stance - maybe...if you don't want to bring an IAS or speed boost...it's still "tank" skills

Healing Signet - Lion's comfort is more efficient and has minimal adrenaline strain now that it returns adrenaline

Watch Yourself - nerfed so hard, it is such an adrenaline strain

Shields Up! - wasn't worth running on a warrior to begin with given the 10 energy cost

Fear Me! - nerfed

Retreat/Charge! - might as well bring a Paragon with Fall Back

To the Limit! - enraging charge provides unconditional adrenaline

Auspicious Parry - doesn't work against caster groups

Balanced stance - situational on area, or for running with Charge


Bonetti's Defense/Defensive Stance/Deflect Arrows/Disciplined Stance - turns off all damage capability, more or less

Ripostes - most areas do not consist only of melee, so it is relegated to farm builds

Steady Stance/Soldier's Stance/Gladiator's Defense - waste of elite slot most of the time

Victory is Mine -- waste of elite all the time (bring Flourish)

Desperation Blow/Drunken Blow - russian roulette attack skill

Soldier's Defense - hard to upkeep now

Soldier's Speed - sprint is better after buff

Thrill of Victory - horrible


the last reason to use Tactics (Watch Yourself) on a warrior disappeared I think.

Nope.

Nah, "Watch Yourself!" was already beaten up and kicked in the teeth when "Save Yourselves!" came.

Which brings up an interesting question.....

For the first time ever, my Warrior now has an available rune slot.
For the time being I just threw a +10hp Vitae rune in there, but I'm curious if it might be a better idea to go with a condition reducing rune instead, such as the one that reduces blindness by 20%.

I'm curious for your thoughts on this: +10hp Vitae rune or condition reducing rune?

-20% blind rune if you don't have it already, since a monk can't possibly keep up with condition removal when blind is spammed by more than 1 source.

The only reasons to run tactics are farming and because you don't have a str shield.

Was there ever a reason to run tactics? For a PvE warrior, watch yourself was pretty much the only good skill, and when NF was introduced, paragons were better with WY then warriors.

I can't find a slot for Lion's Comfort on my W/P D Slash bar. What skill would you remove for it? And removing my rez isn't an option.

RIP Tactics.

The "Fear Me!" nerf did it for me.
