For defense acuity and melee/ranged defence

The loss of warcry's ability to let you beat up on something for 20 seconds is a definite blow. However, Master Brawler gives you Intimidate2 and Lunge2 (a knockdown move that can be used with ANY melee weapon). Though I have never used it, it also gives you Berserk2. Additionally, you get additional speed and defenses with Master Brawler along with weapons and moves (two Stun attacks, a blind attack, and another dizzy attack) as well as the ability to target Health and Action by virtue of having to pickup 1H, Unarmed, and Polearms to get there.
Therefore, therefore, while I will miss the ability to get 20 seconds (less the special delay) of unopposed attacking, I have no intention of giving up all the other perks. Besides, I use Lunge2 more effectively than Warcry. I am not giving that up since, as a Master Rifleman, Master Brawler, Master Swordsman, I have 5 ways to dizzy something, and only one way (Lunge2) to consistently achieve a KD. Nope, not giving that up.
