Power Attack

Issue

Boring skill not worth bringing. Nobody with considerable experience uses it.

Suggestion

Decrease + damage to something along the lines of 5...25...30 and add the cracked armor condition for maybe 5...13...15 seconds, while increasing recharge (and maybe energy) accordingly. This sort of change may give the skill more use, and make skills like Body Blow, Aura Slicer, and Distracting Strike more viable.

Pretty much same as above. It's just not that powerful and not used that often because it doesn't really chain with anything.

Suggestion

Increase the activation time on it but also increase the damage, give it armour penetration (maybe +2...8...10% or whatever), add the Cracked Armour suggested above or even a Deep Wound. Thus you'll get a slower but more powerful attack. Because it's more powerful (should be made slightly more powerful than alternatives, perhaps +12...42...50 damage)), more people would take it, but the downside would be that it would be interruptable, making it less useful against good teams (but still OK in PvE or low-end PvP).
