Necessary fix for GWF

Great Weapon Fighters gain determination for being hit, in other words, they're rewarded for underperforming. Instead of making it so they gain this from taking damage, make it so that they gain determination solely through doing damage. This would serve as not only a boost to PvE but a balancing factor for PvP, where Unstoppable's temporary hit points and set bonus' are skewing fights in favor of those who get hit.
This change would of course warrant a rework of the Destroyer 21pointer, but it is a necessary change to make GWF more desirable in groups and more skill intensive in PvP.
This is coming from a Sentinel Specced GWF who PvP's exclusively.

Daint's the name. Pizza's my game.

Getting hit in PVP imo is not necessarily underperforming, it's just something that is going to happen during the match especially when you have a gimp shift ability. In pve, yes it is often underperforming, unless a GWF player is purposely getting hit to build determination.
IMO if a change like this were made it would be best to make a class feature that removes your ability to gain determination when taking damage and instead lets' you gain it from doing damage. That way people could chose the route they'd like to take and it would also add a little variety to GWF playstyle as well as some mystery to the GWF that is sprinting at you in PVP.
The class feature that gives you determination as long as you are in combat, gives very very little determination over time.
AS for killing enemies, I dont' recall anything about the GWF granting this, then again I have only played my GWF once since early may.

Sentinel GWF are completely useless, just like protector build GFs.
We're rather OP. XD
I think this is a bit of a stretch of the truth.
I wasn't quite thinking to that extent... a simple removal of determination draining away is all I'm after.

The only diff is the 15% extra deflection bonus you are getting at the end tier feat of a sentinel and a bit more defense, which gives negligible damage mitigation. As a destroyer myself, i get way more dps, dedication by attacking other players which means i can use unstoppable much faster then a sentinel, shorter cool downs on takedown and roar which helps me control multiple targets trying to kill me, also dont forget roar gives me dedication too. So it basically means since i can use unstoppable much faster then a sentinel, i'll heal 15% of my hp much faster then a sentinel everytime i use unstoppable. So in short, not only can i beat the HAMSTER out of enemies, i can tank like a truck too.
Nah, I'm sure he's telling the truth. After all, I'd be sweating too if it took that long for me to kill my opponents.
The irony of this statement is amazing.
