 * This skill is overshadowed since the only strong weakness synergy is Heavy Blow, which works better with Devastating Hammer.

 * Suggestion
 * Need a little something, like a lower cost (4 adrenaline like Counter Blow/Pulverizing smash) or +5...17...20 damage.

Impaled's issue

 * Issue
 * 6 adrenaline just for weakness, on a melee profession, is way too much considering the pretty bad synergy.


 * Suggestion
 * A little bit of extra utility/support would be interesting.
 * 1, the more defensive option...
 * Hammer Attack. Inflicts weakness ( seconds) and target foe attacks and uses skills 20% slower ( seconds).
 * 2, the more offensive option...
 * Hammer Attack. Inflicts weakness ( seconds) and melee attacks against target foe have +10% armor penetration ( seconds).
 * I tried to go with the "staggering" theme here, and imo adding debuff/buff-like effects to otherwise plain skills (like double dragon now) would be really sweet. The fact that it can't be removed would be offset by the short duration.
