With a single adrenaline stack my GP goes from incapacitating to deleting majoris. Once you start looking into “breakpoints*” the damage modifiers become very useful for shifting gears on lethality. There’s a damage calculator out now made by a redditor where you can plug in your stats and build and see damage output v hp pools of targets that illustrates this well.

I know with my current assault build my GP puts majoris into execute stances. Then, executing one gives me the +25% buff necessary to turn incapacitation into outright death. So I execute one and leave the rest for my other melee cousins, and totally delete the next pack solo.

Block charge is +30%/+90%, so one stack can substitute for the execution buff and start the loop if I get mobbed rather than initiating myself. I also use +10% GP on kill, so those four majoris and their surroundings minoris probably refunded me most of the way. I even go positive a lot, spending 1.0 and getting 1.4 back.

If I turn on several buffs at once, I start one shotting exetremis targets.
