OK, where to start...So first, I enjoyed reading your proposal, its got personality.
that being said if they implemented some of the things youve suggested ZDPS would be the next White-Lion(please stop 1-shotting me q_q).
But some of your points I completely agree with...like;
simple one just audit and tweak the base damage of Zeal abils to the level of other classes same abils.
This would be a nice change because of how much you have to min-max to get similar damage numbers to other classes
2. The Marks - from the start of WAR abils recvived from marks, never been useful due the insane CD for this abils for such crappy abils - my suggestion is lower the CD but only for abils granted by Zealot himself(i bet its gonna be huge whine if lower the CD for every one) - i say let make it 10 sec CD and see what happens.
Lowering the marks CD to 15-20 sec would make a huge impact at being able to kill people more than once every min because of how important a part of the ST burst it is as ZDPS
3.3 Discipline - make it willpower buff to be convertible to int with the Harbringer - to add some variety in tact choice.
This would be a interesting change, it would change how you build your char allowing for maybe more defensive or strikethrough options. As it stands you have no wiggle room for int cap I'm bearly int capped with all +24 gems, stacking int/wp 2-piece set bonuses, and genesis int bonus.
3. The Tactics - WAR have a lot of useless or semi useless tactic and Zeal not the exception, so let's tweak some of them.
This is just a solid point in general that i'm sure applies to many classes.
4.2 Mirror of Madness
- make it crit and benefit from int - to become a real treat for healers - the concept of sepcing in 2 branch so high - gonna be direct Healer Hunter.
- Or make it proc on healer for each target they healed so if the mindlessly using mass heal they suffer - hard damage for their mistake.
Old Pre-Rework Mirror of Madness was the most fun ive ever had on WAR blowing up healers that were asleep at they're keyboard only casting AoE heal. It would be nice if they changed it back to the amazing ability it used to be.
