ArenaNet:Skill feedback/Dervish/Reaper's Sweep


 * Last Update: December 11th, 2008

Ezekial Riddle's Issue

 * Issue
 * There was no need to buff this. It shouldn't have been brought up to Wounding Strike's level, rather WS should have been brought down. Buffing this is like buffing Signet of Spirits to kill someone after 10.1 seconds to match (pre-nerf)Signet of Ghostly Might's power.


 * Suggestion
 * Revert. Do the proper thing and weaken WS.

Too much

 * Issue
 * Overbuffed.


 * Suggestion
 * If you want to keep it like this (it is pretty cool), tone down the power a bit, like this:
 * . 5 10.
 * Elite Scythe Attack. If this attack hits, you deal + damage. If your target was below 50% Health, you also inflict a Deep Wound for seconds. If target foe is above 66% Health, that foe loses one enchantment.
 * Even that might not be enough (damage might have to come down more) but it would re-balance things a bit without making all the dervs out there too mad.

If you want to fix an overpowered skill, nerf the overpowered skill instead of creating another imba skill

 * Issue
 * Imbalanced. Now we're going to have rangers running this AND rending touch = goodbye, enchantments.


 * Suggestion
 * Revert the buff, nerf wounding strike. Overpowered + overpowered does not equal fixed.
