Warrior's unique source of damage is hitting the enemy, but this source is easily disrupted with conditions, hexes and blocks, theres lots of ways of nullify a warrior, all other classes have means of get rid of hexes and conditions but without help for a mate a warrior must just sit to wait the effect to end.
Warrior cunning comes as a way to bypass the annoying blockway of some builds, but fail and its not use by anybody for 2 reasons:
It's loooong loooooooong looooooooooooooooong recharge of 60 secs and duration of 11 secs at 14 strenght
If they blind you, or hex you, you fail, because warrior cunning makes your attacks unblockable but they will miss.
So after the intro, the well needed buff:
1. Make Warrior cunning: your attacks ALWAYS HIT, doesnt matter blocks, stances, ward, hexes, or if you are blinded, for 11 secs. a hit launched is a hit landed.
OR
2. Make recharge 45 secs or better 30 secs, if a monk can use guardian every 5 secs or a ranger can permastance blocks, why i can not use Warr Cunn every 30 secs?
Think bout it

Hey guys, I don't think spikes are overly strong at the moment. What we need is a way for our warrior to be completely unstoppable!

So.... the OP wants to make Warrior's Cunning into a strength version of Illusionary Weaponry? Well... I suppose it would make more sense than giving such a skill to a mesmer.... but still, no thanks. /notsigned

So you want to gimp the other classes ability to stop a warrior? No thanks. I think blocking, blind, and miss hexes are balanced well enough. There are plenty of condition removals for dealing with blind, and outside of hex overload, the few hexes that hurt a warrior (Empathy, Faintheartedness, etc.) can be removed fairly easily. Outside of stances all block skills can be removed or prevented, and a Warrior posses the best option for stance removal.
There is a reason you can't use it more often. A good reason.

A lot of skills need buffing,and we don't need these awful suggestions from people who don't understand the workings behind balanced pvp or pve.

I just hope the OP is trolling.

And don't need energy. And aren't destroyed by a nicely timed Drain Enchantment.

If the suggestion is so lol'able and the skill is so fantastic, could you point me to a nice build where this skill is used?
Thank you
Thank you

In 45 months of playing GW as a warrior primary, I've never chosen warriors cunning above any other skill. I would rather take frenzy and hope to hit through their blocks n blinds.

And you are wrong is not used that much, it's not used at all.

Even though I think cunning could use a buff, the problem is Warrior is the most balanced class in the game. Cunning is good(not great now) and I couldnt think of a buff that wouldnt teeter into too good. Cunning is fine, the other classes arent.

First suggestion is mediocre at best.
Second suggestion at 45r sounds reasonable, I find no slot on my bar to take it over in its current form.

Warrior's Cunning has show up in the "optional" slot on hammer bars every now and then. Lower it to 45r and you'd see it there more often. Whether that's a good thing I'm not so sure, all it does is enable omegaspikes.

I have an idea. Lets makes a "how to balance this skill" thread for every current underpowered skill. Superb way to make Sardelac overflow.

You want it to be used in PvP meta, which means one thing. It has to be the BEST option for a build. No other skill can do what it does, or that skill would be used instead. I'd actually be happier to see an energy boost to 10 with a duration/recharge of 8/10. Can't be maintained 100%, and will drain energy super fast. Not totally sure on numbers, but if it were changed, I'd be happier to see something where energy was a concern to keep it balanced. Could have it ready often, but would have to monitor energy closely to be able to use it when needed.

Lower Rech to 45 or add an effect like "if you miss an attack , this skill ends and recharges 10....22....30% faster" . For PvP QQs , you can make a split of this skill .

i think b surge should cause exhaustion

I think if it was switched to tactics it would be enough of a buff even

I have fond memories of warrior's cunning. Back during original prophecies with the original lingering curse two warriors with it up could train down just about anything faster than boon prots could keep it up.

We need more balance suggestions from players who only play in RA.
Hugh Manatee
It's functionality is borkened. unblockable warriors are evil... Maybe make it sort of a self preservation skill, like an effect similar to what lieutenant's insignias does, it might see play in splits, AB or FA but it's current effect is kinda too hard to balance against it's strength.
Also, some skills are in this game to be fought against, like mobs in HM have no energy issues, and the recharge is half what it is, so it's something interesting to fight against.

Warrior's Cunning does not need a buff.
Martin Alvito
The last time I remember Warrior's Cunning being used was in early IWAYs. It was very, very evil, providing clean spikes on demand and adding just enough extra pressure to break backlines. That was with the current 60s recharge.
Making physical damage overpowered is always a poor idea. Let's not unleash 4+ melee builds on GW again.
