Warrior GCD?

[Shinkirou]

Now i don't know everything there is to know about warriors, but I find something strange..

In pvp, most warriors hit me according to their gcd, 1 skill per 1.5sec or so, but im find more and more warriors that seem to have no gcd, during my 1sec (rogue) gcd, they can hit me 3 times.

Im not sure if they macroed together a bunch of instant no gcd skills, but warriors are now often hitting me 3x as fast as i can hit them.

No, im not lagging.

No, im not whining.

I'm confused to how warriors, already having huge damage, can now also attack me 3x as fast as i can retaliate. Does anyone know the reason? Smart macroing? Exploit? What? I'd just like to understand.

Frenzied Strike and several riftblade finishers are off the global cooldown.

Inescapable fury is as well.

also, elemental touch and storm blade both proc off of hits and show as separate attacks.
off gcd reactive abilities have a 1.5 second cooldown between them.. but if i start with 3 attack points and a frenzied proc, i can hit frenzied strike, an off gcd finisher (rb finishers - earth, storm, icy burst) and a regular attack (power strike/searing strike) all within .25 seconds without a problem. storm blade is a 4 second bleed that doesn't stack so if one of 3 of those hits results in a crit, you'll see that start ticking.. and elemental touch will come from all of them

but you can still stun lock me for 7 seconds and leave 19 second bleeds on me that keep me in combat so i cant drink long after you're dead :\

Abilities have different procs attached to them like every class.


Theoretically, if a Warrior had already popped Fiery Burst and Shifting Blades (just for the sake of theorycraft), when they hit you with a single attack builder it'd proc SB, FB, the regular hit, Storm Blade DoT, Elemental Touch, and Frenzied Strike (if any of those abilities crit). That totals to 6 hits in one hit.

While no self respecting Warrior is going to run a bastardized 22/22/22 Paragon/Riftblade/Champ spec, the point is that a 1.5s GCD doesn't mean they're only going to hit you once every 1.5 seconds.
