It would solve a lot if the tooltip reads... "Pull broken blade fragments from your armor and hurl them at enemies in front of you." They could even re-use the animation form Whirlwind Of Blades except make the AoE in front of you and not full 360. DO NOT MAKE US JUMP BACK .... Stand our ground and hurl blades would be ok. Might be cool if getting hit more would makes it cooldown faster. U know since it would be broken blades coming from your armor and such....
I still puzzle over how can one kill somebody simply inhaling-exhaling air.
It's because GWF is the most metal of all classes. And it's called shouting.
Also, no, I don't think any throwing weapons fit. Hell, I'd rather they went and reworked/buffed all the old powers instead, because you still have only 3 slots anyway.
What a coincidence! As a GF sometime's I just want to keep the shield on my back, and use my sword in two hands for some more power smashing.
Thats acctualy great idea
Feedback:
GF rework on Tab: Now u can chose from sheldless and sheld stance. While shield allows u to block, shieldless stance give u +`100% to dmg. 5s CD on stance changing. Also since now we dont have mark on tab, Our aoe skills (includes aggravating strike) r now granted with permament mark (up to 8s,).

On a curio detail, one theory regarding the origin of the term "berserker" is that it came from figuratively "baring your chest" in this manner. Not sure if the scholars of the field think it legit though.
But while we're at it I suspect a lot of GFs would be very happy with the sprint...

Notice how early GWF encounter powers become completely useless as you level up and get straight up better ones.
I think it would suite the GWF more if it was Throwing Axes, Francisca's. Unlike the flimsy daggers..lobbing a throwing axe would suite a GWF much more, in the style of a viking.

The Vikings favored spears and javelins for throwing actually, though as the Bayeux Tapestry so cheerfully illustrates the common fyrd wasn't terribly picky in that regard. The francisca was a somewhat unusual variation of the principle popular among the Migration Period Franks (most Germanic warriors preferred to toss spears, particularly the dual-purpose type the Romans called framea), hence the name.
"Precursor" throwing weapons always tended to be more of a thing for "sword and board" fighters though - probably because the shield hand could easily hold whichever weapon wasn't currently in use without interfering with the main hand - and I can't recall running into pretty much a single mention of the already fairly rare two-hander combatants using such in all of the quite copious militaria I've read.
The closest would probably be samurai and shuriken (contrary to popular belief they were actually the main users of such, and the things were usually dart- or spike-like) and AFAIK even they mainly used them in "civilian" scuffles not involving battlefield armor. Also not the most common auxiliary weapon even in those circles.
just take a look at that silly animation throwing daggers with both hands while holding greatsword in one of them like it weights nothing.
i would like to have that Masterwork Iron Golem ground smash where he smash the ground with fist stunning targets around him just 25-35% faster animation thou.
Actually the sword does not weigh that much, with the majority of two handed swords ranging from 3 to 5 pounds.

Strictly speaking that depends on the specific pattern of two-hander in question, but basically, yep. Ofc the sheer lenght of most of the things is going to make them awkward indeed for one hand and you're not going to use that appendage for much else...

It's like class designs don't even matter anymore. I'm not going to use this skill no matter how stupidly broken it might be.
veryone knows that if you gotto give him some form of ranged attack,. then it has to be a crossbow.. Duhhh

Now compare that to other classes.
