Thanks for all the feedback in the various threads, it heavily influenced the following changes.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Everything listed here is subject to change based on continued testing, feedback, and balance concerns.

Answers to some of the common questions:

• Only one Brother Toggle can be active at a time.
• Improved Kick was moved from the 3-set bonus to the 2-set bonus in Leader of Men
• -10s Mark Skills Cooldown still exists as part of the 2-set bonus in Leader of Men.

Skill Changes:

• Noble Mark:
  • Removed: No longer has a Damage-over-Time component.
    • Note: It still immediately causes aggro (ie; can be used for pulling).
  • Addition: Added an additional effect to the target which causes any player (except the Captain) that attacks the mob to receive reduced perceived threat for a short time.

• Brother Toggle Skills:
  • When the toggle is removed from your ally, any buffs applied to your ally from Inspire, Strength of Will, or To Arms are dispelled.
    • ie; You can't cycle any of the Brother Toggles between allies in order to buff multiple players at once.
