Should the intercede aa line be replaced?

[littleman17]

<p>So yeah, I find this entire line to be useless... more so than our other ones. I never use this skill, as it usually only gets me killed. So I suggest that they replace it with enhancements to our stances.</p><p>Enhance: RetributionReduces penalties by 3% per rank.Increases bonus by 3% per rank.</p><p>Enhance: Provoking StanceIncreases the damage of the proc by 3% per rank.Increase all bonuses by 2% per rank.</p><p>Enhance: Blistering FistsIncreases damage by 5% per rank.Increase bonuses by 3% per rank.Reduces penalties by 2% per rank.</p><p>Disciplined Stances: Allows the bruiser to add extra effects to his stances.Applies Enraging Avoidance while in defense stance.    Each time the bruiser avoids an attack there is a 25% chance to increase hate toward target encounter, if engaged in combat.Applies Lingering Flame while in offensive stance.   Each time the proc activates on the offensive stance, an extra dot is applied that deals heat damage over time.Applies Heated Actions while in mixed stance.   Each time the bruiser avoids an attack, there is a chance to deal instant heat damage to target encounter.</p><p>So, what do you guys think?</p>

oops, misread the OP

The problem with that is Im sure some bruiser somewhere actually uses this line as its intended and may gain some modicum benefit from it.  I doubt we can trade it in for something useful, best just to leave it as it is.  You ever hear the saying that cook spits in your food if you send it back?  I think its applicable here, I doubt we'll come out ahead.

<p>im not a fan of this line at all, never really found it useful even in a raid. but id agree i bet someone somewhere has found a way to use it. sure wish they would post though let us all in on the secret <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>i doubt they would replace the whole line, but if they were going to replace a line this would be the one id want them to drop. somthing that effects stances would be a huge change, id welcome it but just cant see it happening. </p><p>one thing about the op original suggestion i wouldnt want is a procced dot, i activley avoid proc dots on my bruiser they mess with his tanking if with a chanter.</p><p>it would be nice if they did replace it to make it a raid useful thing as i think thats what this line was intended as, id especially like somthing to aid pulling. a single target pacify or somthing like. i miss that role from eq1, but tbh i think i just need to let it go, seems soe really dont have an interest in pulling as a skill and if they do brawlers are far from the 1st choice</p>

<p>Upgrading our stances would be good, but i'm afraid too good.  </p><p>What I'd really like is a section to increase our raid buff.</p><p>Also there is a use i think, to Soak hit.  I think if you have a fighter cast intervene on you, then get out of range, you will get that 9% absorption for as long as the intervene stays up, (around 1 min 40 seconds).  Haven't been able to accuratley test this yet, but it could work.  </p>
