Planeshift's Proposal
Just a thought. Maybe too much buffed, maybe not. Discuss :D Planeshift 20:13, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's viable now, at least. The thing is, it suffers from The Dervish Problem: a warrior has to stop hitting stuff for a second to use it, just like dervs with enchantments.  That's a huge balancing factor, tbh.  [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  Raine   - talk  17:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Change "miss" to "fail to hit with". I'm pretty sure "miss" excludes blocking.  --71.196.158.69 12:25, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Raine's Proposal

 * 5 energy means it can be used on average once every 8 seconds. Dchop every 8 seconds isn't so bad, and it'd still be a pretty slow int (slower than Agonizing).  [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  is for   Raine,   etc.  12:49, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Sit on Zealous, and I'm not sure about the math but I'm pretty sure the -25%/+60% would work out faster than a regular swing timer. --71.196.158.69 14:00, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how GW calculates swing speed modifiers. If it's arithmetic, then it'd just end up being a 35% IAS for attack skills (duh).  If it's geometrical, then it'd end up being a 50% IAS (you attack twice as fast), which would make dchop relatively fast (faster than agonizing, slower than dblow).  Agnoizing Chop, however, would be as fast as a mesmer int.  [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  is for   Raine,   etc.  14:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * And a .445 second Dchop that you can use maybe twice every twelve seconds would be fucking OP. :> --71.196.158.69 12:30, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, without having an actual stated activation, it wouldn't bypass the secondary attack delay like dstrike or agonizing, so you'd still have to rely on prediction to a good degree. Also, I'm not sure where you got 0.445; it'd actually be 0.665 (assuming 50% IAS), which is still fast, but not lolmesmerskills.  RotN + dchop would still be strong, though.
