Report #789
Skillset: Combat Skill: Stratagem
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Apr 2012
Furies' Decision:
We do not like the idea of combining the two arm balances in a single attack
because they are purposefully meant to be separate. We will investigate the
possibility of Stratagem arm balances, but note that it may be infeasible or
undesirable due to convoluting stratagems, which is meant to be a relatively
simple system.
Problem: Many systems and repetitive activities are being revamped to take
advantage of the new Stratagem Queue. However, 1h weapon specs cannot take
advantage of it for bashing, unlike other classes-- if one arm misses, it
recovers balance at a faster rate than the other, but the stratagem queue does
not continue until both arms have recovered balance.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Add in a syntax to the STRATAGEM command that
 specifies this command should only check for one
 armbalance (and will execute if only one armbalance
 is found).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Add a new attack command for bonecrusher /
 blademaster bashing only. This command combines both
 arms into one attack, and both attacks will either
 hit or miss at the same time (the attack messages
 stay the same). This will keep arms in sync while
 bashing.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: In addition to solution 2, add an option to this new
 attack that allows for razing (the attack combined
 will do 1 raze and 1 swing, and will have its time
 adjusted to be approximately 75% of the normal attack
 speed so that it evens out time-wise). It will be up
 to the warrior to determine when to use stratagem
 replace to use the raze option vs. not.

I like solutions 2 and 3 because it seems like the 'easiest' method to go, it
helps with some of the complaining about 1h weapons being able to carry over
(though most of that has been addressed with damageshift), and it's a slightly
different solution than 2h weapon specs (utilizing cleave). Mathematically,
nothing would change in how fast a 1h warrior kills NPCs, but it allows those
warriors to take the same advantage of the stratagem system that other specs and
classes can for hunting purposes.

Any of the solutions supported.

Supported. Don't see a major issue with any of these.

It seems a little unfair to me that a report should even have to be submitted
for this, giving that it will simply just accomplish what all other guilds have
anyway. All solutions supported.

Any of these seem fine. Agree with Draylor.
