Krieg’s mask has bonus -1 s cooldown to War Cry. Fleshwarped Casque has -3 s to War Cry and Mythical Warborn Visor has also - 3 s to War Cry. Krieg set is in no way OP and -3 s to War Cry would be helpful and more consistent.

I personally think that instead of making yet another Soldier set give permanent war cry, it could also enable the player to get full DR uptime via the stomp (krieg’s wrath or whatever it’s called) making the player not have to use WC at all when they use the full set. This would be nice for aether variants at least, where break morale is useless.

That is also a possibility and another one is for War Cry to have 5 s cooldown by default…
That would make too much Soldier builds OP imo. I like Rekt’s idea, perhaps not for fulltime DR but at least shift the focus more towards the granted skill

Granted skill change by the set seems to be the best idea. It will even free some points when using Necro. You don’t have to go for Ill Omen then…
The set could also get some CC res… Trap and petrify ideally. Others can be obtained.
Exactly and with ideally you want to cast as less spells as possible with such a build not to interrupt cadence

Other possibility is changing the flat RR for Reckless Power to damage reduction. That flat RR is redundant when it is on the skill from the set.
Leave the flat RR to Reckless Power on Krieg set alone, thank you very much.
And the reason?
Because not everyone wants to the use Krieg’s Wrath, specially not my ranged aether characters.
In my last Death Knight build I use Ill Omen instead of War Cry even though Krieg’s set supports War Cry. Unsupported skill by the set is better than a supported skill…
This set should be fixed…
Krieg’s set also supports no Necro skill with modifiers. Why? Reap Spirit or Bone Harvest are the clear choices… Or the Necro WPS skills also for Cadence support…
I think Krieg’s set is a Blitz set which also has a modifier for War Cry. Aether has no DoT, so Warcry can/could be used to increase the internal trauma damage from juiced Blitz and Blindside if one wants.
I agree that the set could use more support on the Necromancer side for a Death Knight, but Krieg’s set was used to very great effect on Spellbinder builds in former patches that just used Reaping Arc from Uroboruuk’s Reaping or even Shard of Beronath to destroy everything while being invulnerable, so balancing would probably be difficult.
Another reason for the lack of support could be that it was one of the first lv.94 sets to release with AoM and they were just figuring it out, while now it has fallen to the wayside as numerous items now have tri-class support.

I would not view it as a physical/internal truama set though… It is clearly for aether. And internal trauma damage will be around 1000 % with these builds…
Personally I think it is okay not having permanent War Cry like on Warborn where it definitely belongs. Having a slight reduction in CD does help, but I feel that Ill Omen fits better for DK using Krieg’s set…
It’s a Physical/Aether set for Dual Damage loving players like myself…

i don’t follow/or rather i think you’re not paying attention enough to your own build so the argument doesn’t actually get as good as you think
you get more DR on Omen there, 32 vs War Cry ending up on 28
but you also get it for less skill points; maxing War Cry will require you to strip points from something else to max it, costing you 2more points for 4% less - or ending with 6% less
So with just your build/this build mention in mind, why is war cry needed to fix? - it benefits you less even if it had 5sec CD
war cry thingy is only an issue for phys Krieg builds, or a Battlemage - which is why i think Protoss mention is great probably the best, "another warcry use"set also just seems generic/boring - might as well just change the base skill at that point if every war cry modifier goes to make it perma anyway 
(base perma war cry i also dont’ even think would be bad/have mentioned before, can easily differentiate between DR vs RR so one has default perma uptime while break morale doesn’t without phys items)
So according to changes in 1.2.1.3 playtest. Nothing has been done about that -1 s to War Cry. This modifier is just stupid! And overall the changes to Kreig’s set in 1.2.1.3 are not enough…

Agree, while many other things coming with 1.2.1.3 are great, this is a bit of a disappointment.
