Armond's issue

 * Issue


 * The last update was meant to address the backbreaker assassin, but didn't quite manage to. The build still works effectively with 12 hammer mastery.


 * Suggestion


 * Decrease knockdown duration to seconds. This requires 13 hammer mastery to reach the 4 second breakpoint - and any hammer warrior worth his salt will be running 14 hammers (or perhaps 13 if he's decided to go 11-10-10 instead of 12-10-8 for... something. I couldn't even tell you what.)

Random Anon's issue

 * Issue
 * The entire power of backbreaker sins is that their chain about recharges backbreaker.


 * Suggestion
 * Add a 1 or 2 second recharge

Mahsa's Issue

 * Issue
 * Terrible "balancing" done to this skill


 * Suggestion
 * Make it so that the skill does the same amount of damage, but only does 2 seconds knockdown. Then for every 4 Strength you have, you receive +1 second (max of 4 second knockdown). If you really don't want sins running around with 4 second knockdowns, this would fix that.

lilondra's issue

 * issue
 * Backbreaker was nerfed in the wrong way


 * Suggestion
 * I find the solution quite simple tbh Just Make backbreaker have 3 second's knockdown and add another second to stonefist.Only problem would be gust but it can be fixed can't it ?
 * Also reducing adrenaline to 9 might work because atm its slightly outclassed (blind,... causing it to take AGES to charge)

Frosty issueeee

 * issue
 * lol bb sins


 * Suggestion
 * Add a 4 or 5 second recharge if hammer mastery is not above 13, keep scaling to achieve 4 second break at 12. This makes BB sins a little less damagerous in the fact it will take them longer to build their adrenaline and possible can't use BB every 8 seconds). while making BB wars (if people even use them...) still viable.

Enar issue

 * issue
 * Overused by non Warrior professions


 * Suggestion
 * Elite Hammer Attack. Deals +1...16...20 damage. Causes knock-down (4 seconds) 50% failure chance unless Strength is 4 or more. Being manly = having strength ; )
