As for OP, there's an effect from Madness darts which already causes this image distortion

Stop being bad. Deep Wound is the only reason people are able to get clean spikes off. Otherwise our PvP would be lame the crap out of everyone with energy denial and hexway.

have to agree with Ari. deepwound not OP? what you on DW is the most important condition in game

ps ari. gobacktoaion

No. Shut Up boo. DW is definitely OP. 20% maximum of HP, 20% reduced healing. You're mad if you think DW isn't OPed, especially if it's covered by 2-3 other conditions.

EDIT: Thanks for correction

AFAIK, it'¡s 20% "chunk of HP" and 20% reduced healing.

Thanks for the correction. Eitherway, DW is still overpowered, and is the main reason why spikes are able to get off.

This is better than the OP's suggestion.
In fact I love it!

You seem to have the idea that spiking is bad. Care to explain?

My computer doesn't support drunk effects, so go for it. Doesn't affect me.

ArenaNet considers spikes a valid part of PvP gameplay.

Except when they don't, of course.

Spiking, is NOT bad. Deep Wound is overpowered by itself, because of its ability to be manipulated for pressure and spikes. However, spikes in Guild Wars would be extremely hard to maneuver correctly because it is already very hard to spike down a target in a meta of ~600hp on a 60 al target with 16 (or 8) armor shield set and a +5 armor spear.

Edit: Think of it this way.

Deepwound = 20% heal reduction, 20% reduction of maximum HP

Blind = Melee attacks miss, no health or heal reduction

Burning, Poison = Damage per second, however, it does not reduce heal potential

Cracked Armor = Lowers the target's AL, but it does not cause heal reduction or health reduction

Daze = Spells have a longer cast time and are easily interruptable, but do not have health reduction

Crippled = Reduction in movement speed, but no health reduction
