War Shout - Useless?

[Mr. Scetch]

Warshout is just a very weak version of the War Horn from the Warfare mastery. It has the same effects (stun, reduction of HP), but on a much smaller area and in a much smaller amount.

It's utterly useless, you're much faster killing the monsters with your basic attack than wasting mana and time to use that spell.

It really needs a serious overhaul.

I totally agree with you it must be rethink of

[Mr. Scetch]

And since it's stupid only to criticize and not to suggest, I will make a suggestion.

Is there a knock-back feature in the game?

Because Warshout could knock back the monsters and still have the same effect, just that at max level it has a 360 degree effect.

So at first it only has the current degree effect, but the more points you invest in the skill, the larger it is, and at max level it's 360.

Or add a fear effect. SO at first they are stunned for a brief period of time, afterwards they run away.

Hi there,

Hmm, well, I do not think it is bad.

1. Close Combat mastery is VERY strong one, a way stronger than Warfare.

2. War Horn with synergy needs 16 points, War Shout only 10.

3. If I am not mistaken, War Shout has lower recharge a bit.

4. The stats are similar (WH-25% and WS-20% life reduction, both have stun but WH has little longer one but also wider range of stun, WS has chance of fear and skill disruption.)

5. Mana cost of WH is funny compared to WS.


I cannot see anything critical, why it should be nerfed then?

They are asking for a buff for it not a nerf i.n.s.a.n.e though i think its fine.

Sure, my post is refered to buff-idea, not nerf. I just highlighted the advantages of the War Shout, saying it is strong already.

It seems pretty fine to me so far.
The only thing though is having it activate instantly requires you to be facing the enemies, whereas it would be better if you could have that targeting cursor appear when you use it on the hotkeys, so then you could do it in the direction you want. Just something I noticed.

Hey there,

Sorry for digging this up, but yeah, I gotta agree the pointer for casting this is essential! I've been playing CC with Warshout a lot these days and I was forced to use it on my RMB to work properly... I'll see what I can do about it!

[Matseb2611]

Ah cheers. I'm trying to get used to using it with hotkeys. It's not too big of a problem really, just in tight situations it might get you killed while you're trying to face the enemies.

Hey there,

Yeah, and that is exactly what pi**ed me a "little bit"!!
