Adrenaline[edit]

From the PvE side it thing this might be fine, I admit I'm not an expert on PvE. However from the PvP side of things there have been some issues with adrenaline and the use of adrenaline skills in combination with fast attacking (and thus charging of adrenaline) professions like the Assassin. This has led to some Nerf's involving Backbreaker and "Coward!" in PvP. Now it's true that this made it impossible in the case of Backbreaker and more difficult in the case of "Coward!" for Assassins to take the skill, however this did not solve the problem in the case of Backbreaker which just got swapped to warriors with dagger attack skills. And made it more difficult for Warriors to take "Coward!" and Backbreaker as well.

Suggestion[edit]

What I suggest is that in stead of putting Nerf's on every single build that pops up abusing some form of adrenaline charging, we change the mechanic of adrenaline in itself. I suggest we do this by:

Changing Adrenaline so that it does not charge when you use Energy Attack Skills.

With such a change to Adrenaline A lot of Gimmick builds will fall to pieces as the only efficient way to charge Adrenaline would be to use multiple Adrenaline skills, or use skills that have an adrenaline charging effect. If this change would go trough there would need to be some compensation to Warriors & Paragons who have lost some of their effectiveness compared to other professions. I suggest to do this by:

  • Change some skills to give X hits of adrenaline
  • Change some skills to give 1 hit of adrenaline for each energy-based attack skill used in a XX amount of time.
  • Change some skills to give XX% adrenaline for each adrenaline skill used.
