Make Spinning Strike push and freeze opponents, like the Dragon Cult NPCs.
Make Block show a semi-sphere to indicate when block is active and which way it is blocking, like the Dragon Cult NPCs.
Make Thorn Ward a more-realistic thorn shape, like the Dragon Cult NPCs.
Yea?

Well the freeze would really help add some much needed AoE control for the GWF, the trade off is that it move pushes mobs away from you, but stacks the freeze, like the NPCs do. In other words, the freeze alone would be asking too much, the push alone would be terrible.

The idea would be to make Thorn Ward the same shape as the NPC one, which is not a full circle, which would not cover the entire node, which would require more skillful use for success.

As for the spinning strike, thats the most annoying new thing in the game. please no more of it.but the pushing part of it would make it a nifty utility, though not so useful most of the time.
As for block, not really needed and i dont want more flashie stuff obscuring view.
and also the featured satirical comedic adventure "A Call for Heroes".
Lol dude what you said at the end of that post had me dying at that typo. It wouldn't require more skill to use it'd just require less skill to dodge.... If people can avoid it completely then what's the point of it..... I mean if it procced 50 different things I'd be okay with the ranged reduce other then that no Ty. Think about how stupid making it look like that ranger NPCs is..... Putting it out as the ranger is pointless because it'll hit the person once before they move to the place where it's not.... Increase the damage by 400% then sure
You would have to not only be conscious of where you place it, but also be conscious of where you position yourself afterwards and where you anticipate your enemy to go or where you draw your enemy towards. Forcing the enemy through the Thorn Ward would then be skillful -- at the very least mindful -- where as right now all you do is put it on the middle and that's that (too easy, imo).
This alternative should be seen as a favorable choice for HRs. You have to consider that option B is to nerf the damage, defense reduction etc, and leave it at the OP circle area it is now, because the way it is set up now is begging to be nerfed. In other words, if it stays as a circle that covers an entire node, then its inevitably going to be nerfed into sucking because its far too powerful as is. Changing the area provides an alternative that allows the effectiveness of TW to remain, and further, would require more conscious and proactive use of it (imo, always a good thing for any ability).

Here is the basic idea of how both would look on a node

I admit that the spinning strike thing was just a fun thought that i threw in because there are the 3 new NPCs and didnt want to disclude that one. Its really just a fun way to give us something new, wihtout truly buffing or nerfing, just changing.
The other two I actually think could help significantly for balance.
Block is just not transparent enough in a combat system that thrives on quick reaction + counters. To me that has always driven the excitement of Neverwinter PvP. Whats really OP about block is not the fact that GFs can block almost indefinitely, or that it grants them 100% immunity, or that it can be used at-will. Unfortunealtey, the nerf hammer is most likely to land on one of these things.
Instead, lets aim that hammer at what it needs to be aimed at : its transparency. You can tell when a TR enters ITC, you can react accordingly... You can see a GWF enter Unstoppable, you can see all classes use their dodge. I can't remember which thread it was but a GF posted 6 pictures of his character, all six appeared that he was blocking. It turned out that he was only actually blocking in one. They were truly indistinguishable.
In other words, before they start looking at changing block's effectiveness in some other fashion, how about just letting us know when and where a GF is blocking? The NPC already has it, its really too simple not to do.
