Quivering Blade

Don Knowall's Issue -- 9 August 2008

7th August 2008 Update issue

Inflicts dazed condition on moving foes. How many foes are moving when they want to cast a spell?

Suggestion

Make it inflict dazed condition on foes casting a spell, it doen't need to cause skill interruption in the same strike, just the opportunity.

IP adress says: Needs a rework

Issue

Principle of the buff is good in theory, but badly implemented. Foes that are moving are not casting a spell, daze duration is too short to be effective, there are no silencing sword mods.

Solution

• 1: Increase the dazed duration to 1...9..10 seconds depending on swordsmanship, remember there are NO SILENCING MODS it can't be lengthened
• 2: My preferrred solution: Change skill to "Elite Sword Attack. If Quivering Blade hits, you strike for +10...34...40 damage. If this attack is blocked, that foe is Dazed for 5 seconds and Quivering Blade is disabled for 5 seconds.
