Pious Assault Nerf The Pious Assault nerf ruined the skill

I have a few points to add. This skill used to be the main source of dervish enchantment renewal. I loved the skill, and I made builds revolving completely around it. The nerf to this skill makes it only a decent skill now, and I only use it for the deep wound. It is terribly energy efficient, and can only be used every 12 seconds. Another problem I have is that Reaper's sweep is rarely used now... It used to be a dervish's main source of deep wound, but now everybody can just use this skill. Now, these are my suggestions. 1: Take off the deep wound 2: Return the instant recharge time if you remove an enchantment 3: Reduce the damage it deals to even things out 4: Keep it at 10 energy instead of 5 like it was before. 5: Make a backfire effect. Make it so when you miss, you take a certain condition, like daze, or something like that. I don't precisly know, i could use suggestions in that field (one of my ideas was that if you miss with it, you lose all enchantments, and it doesn't instatnly recharge.

My other idea was this: but i doubt it could possibly happen 1: Give pious assault 5 energy to use 2: Give it an instant recharge on a hit 3: Keep it's damage bonus (make it around 20) 4: Give it an hp boost, or some other special effect that isn't too amazing (+50 hp is an example, or just keep the deep wound as it is.) 5: Make it an elite skill =D Dervishes would use it all the time

give me some feed back! dervishes out there, we need this skill back, it makes the game more fun, and that's the only reason why I play. Btw, I like my elite idea better, but it'd be too hard to do. You'd have to make bosses have it, and idn, it would be tough. They would have to update the animation too =D that would be awsome if it was elite.
