    I would say no to this, mainly for the reason champions already pulling a lot of burst putting bullrush and Deathblow off GCD would make it even worse.

    Agreed both of these don't do dmg directly but just apply a short term buff to the paragon (you actually lose 1.5 seconds off strike like iron due to the gcd), also having them on the gcd completely breaks the flow of a paragon.

    For myself, long duration buffs/auras get em off the GCD, on some toons I can spend a good 5-6+ seconds buffing myself which is a pain in the *** in a warfront
    A little strange goes a long way.

    Faction - Defiant
    Server - Wolfsbane

    Absolutely - having these on the GCD makes paragon feel a little clunky.

    Only these imo. Maybe flesh rip, but definately those two. Deathblow is a big NO-NO.

    Flesh Rip NEEDS to be off the GCD. Its a reactive that doesn't generate an AP. All other reactives are off the GCD. There is NO REASON for Flesh Rip to be on the GCD whatsoever.

    Aggressive Block

    Among other issues with this skill, it really needs to be taken off GCD. Far too often I find myself having to stand around doing nothing because the CD is about to come up and I can't be on GCD when it does.

    Seriously, I hate this ability. It's like being a KotBS in Warhammer all over again. You have to baby sit it way too much. Half my fails are because I was watching my AB CD and not the boss' mechanics. And the other half is because it missed and I lose 10% block for the entire CD (I have +hit on my equipment anywhere I can afford).

    Definitely Flesh Rip
    It's not a damage meters fault you can't hit a certain dps and others similar to you can, it's the fault of your bad gear, bad spec, or bad rotation. So stop getting mad at the meters and invest some time into not being bad.

    Flesh Rip for sure.

    Strike Like Iron and Shifting Blades completely break the flow. I would rather have them slightly weaker and off the GCD than the way they are now.

    flesh rip should not be off gcd because bm already got backhanded blow, but it sould give attack point and apper on reactive adility bar

    Deathblow is currently punishing blow with a stipulation because it is on the GCD, it is not worth using and is seen as a waste of 3 ability points in most cases. Deathblow is a skill, that by its description and use alone screams of being a non gcd skill. 30% hp is extremely situational, and easy to heal past, and the 1.5 sec gcd often makes it impossible to use deathblow in pvp, in most causes you just waste to much time and you are better off just spamming punishing blow.

    The biggest mistake I see mages and other range classes do is try to tank me, as a warrior. Are you insane? What makes you believe you can fight and survive me at melee range as a guy wearing a bedsheet with a belt trying to pass it off as armor and the hp pool of a wetnapkin.

    Am i supposed to be teaching you how to play your class in between beating you in the warfronts?

    Strike like lion would be op outside the GCD. In fact it's borderline OP right now.
