As an aside, I saw someone say they didnt want to waste a trigger ability on it. What else did we have floating around, would like to see some brainstorming on other nice abilities we could end up with.

I think most of us would be happy with an updated version of the old spell "Invigor" that works on endurance.
I remember in the old days keeping that spell perma memed in chain pulling xp groups becuase not only the Main tank, but alot of other melee (Read Pallies, Rangers, Rogues etc) would run short on stamina quite frequently due to the sheer volume of non stop fighting.
However endurance works a little differntly that stamina used to. You only drain endurance by using activated abilities wheras you drained stamina everytime you swung a weapon.
To be honest It's not very often these days where someone is having endurance problems. The only times I can think of off hand are when xping with weaker tanks who have to chain use abilities to hold aggro and have low endurance pools or when recovering from a whipe on certain end game boss encounters (OMM for example, my guild quite frequently waits longer for tanks to regain endurace after a wipe than for everyone to regain full mana becuase warrior discipines are so important in that encounter)
I'm sure there are other examples where such a spell would be useful. Is it something that is critical for us to have? I don't think so, but it would be nice to have, another tool in our jack of all trades repitior.

*I*, do not. Melees, who depend on us for buffs, do. Above I listed the the typical costs for a warrior in a group environment, using an average Endurance pool (just assume they have the endurance that you have mana with equal gear, its not quite accurate, but it will do,) the can run OOE and have no recourse. They have no way of upping their endurance rate, there is no "KEI" for it (and the devs said their wouldn't be,) a constant twitch wouldn't be any better, but it seems being able to fill it once in a while due to their death (they rez with very low endurance, and not even Divine Ress will fill it) etc, wouldn't totally change the environment.
I consider us a buffing class, and THE melee buffing class, and its an ability that is not in the game, if anyone gets it, I'd hope it would be us.
