[edit] Life Infusion Issue -- 21:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

Issue
weak elite that is only elite because of Illusionary Weaponry
high recharge
no bonus damage
energy based
no bleeding
Suggestion
cannot be blocked
1 activation
4 recharge

"Swing twice at target foe. This attack cannot be blocked and causes bleeding for 10...22...25 seconds." (5e/1c/4r) which would act as a opener for gash.

Suggestion 2 (PvE oriented)
5 recharge
"Swing at target foe and foes adjacent to your target. Struck foes bleed for 3...21...25 seconds." (5e/5r)

[edit] Lilondra's issue

Discussion

Issue
High recharge
Barely damage if not combined with a conjure or something like it
no bonus damage
energy based
The main purpose would be building adrenaline but it even fails at that bcause of the recharge.
Suggestion

"Swing 3 times at target foe." (5e/6r)

Suggestion 2 (PvE oriented)
Make it an adrenal attack with a recharge of 1-2 secunds.
"Swing twice at target foe.These attacks can not be blocked" (5 adrenaline/1r)

[edit] Gerome's issue

Discussion

Issue
High recharge
Needs to do more than just hit twice
Suggestion

"Swing twice at target foe. This attack cannot be blocked" (Keep same Enegy cost at 5, Lower Recharge time to 4)

[edit] Prokiller88's Issue

Discussion

Issue
High recharge. Does less damage compared to triple/cyclone axe. Does alot less damage compared to volley and barrage respectively.
Suggestion
Change to

"Elite Sword Attack. This attack hits twice, if it hits it deals +1...13...15 damage and is unblockable." 6 Adrenaline


[edit] Solution

Issue
Doesn't deserve to be elite
Suggestion
Change this skill to non-elite. Change the description to "+1...9...12 damage. If you have a Mesmer enchantment, it has no area of effect"

[edit] Lann's Issue -- 12 June, 2008

Issue

Poor elite, no +dmg, outclassed by cyclone axe and triple chop

Suggestion

Give it some +damage similar to cyclone axe 1...11...14.

[edit] Wisteria's Issue

Issue

See others

Suggestion

8a Elite Sword Attack. If this attack hits, target foe takes +1..10 damage and has cracked armor for 1..10..10 seconds. If this skill is blocked, it is disabled for 15 seconds.

[edit] Shai Meliamne's Issue -- 15 June, 2008

Issue
-No +Damage
-Blockable and thus inferior to Sun and Moon Slash
-Hits only foes in front of you, making this inferior to a scythe in general and inferior to Cyclone Axe and Triple Chop
Suggestions
1. Remove the "And all Adjacent Foes" part and make it non elite - thus creating an energy based blockable version of Sun and Moon Slash
2. Remove the "And all Adjacent Foes" part and make it unblockable - thus creating an energy based version of Sun and Moon Slash
3. Make it in the area instead of adjacent so at least it outclasses the scythe in opponents it can hit
4. Add damage (+5..20 or sumthing) to make it more or less equal to a double cyclone axe and more or less equal to tripple chop (although with conjures this more or less will more likely be more)
5. Add a condition such as bleeding
6. Change functionality to: "5e, 10r: You swing twice at target and adjacent foes. For each successfull hit, this skill recharges 0..2s faster" making this a more usefull skill while needing skillfull play to get the full power of this skill

[edit] Improvement needed

Issue
1) See above. And above that. And above that. And so on.
2) Buffing this skill too much would make it imba since it can hit a highly variable number of times, based on how many enemies are next to you (although admittedly enemies don't often clump up around warriors, at least not in PvP).
Suggestion
Limit the number of attacks more but then buff it up, like this:
5 Energy 5 Recharge time
Elite Sword Attack. Make two unblockable swings at target foe and one normal one at up to 0...2...3 other foes adjacent to your target. These attacks deal +5...17...20 damage.
This would make the skill a lot more powerful, but at most it's only going to hit 5 times (meaning that bonus damage from conjures, Strength of Honour, Brutal Weapon et.c. is limited, even if it is a fairly high limit). Compared to Cyclone Axe, it does more damage and the first two attacks are unblockable, which balances out the fact that this is elite. It also has good synergy with Sun and Moon Slash, but it shouldn't be OP given the lack of Deep Wound that Eviscerate or Cripling Slash -> Gash would give. However, it would at least be more useful, especially given the combination of two unblockable attacks (considering the block-heavy meta currently) with bonus damage.
