I think this skill is overpowered since its buff to non-block. with the 4 sec recharge it is extremely spammable, low cost, and high-damage. I think the recharge should be 8/10 seconds. thoughts?

Ummmm no. Wild Strike is never used in any common sin builds. It maybe be used in more utility sin builds like Shattering Assault or something, but Wild Strike will never be good enough to be in any gibs. Most assassins will use their offhand as their starter (an offhand with no lead requirement) or as energy management, usually Lotus Strike. I don't see it too much in the meta, so I think its fine as it is.

the only build the skill has found use in is the shattering assault chain apart from that build its not really used much. This is (in pvp) actually due to the fact that it has a short recharge and a normal activation time. a lot of pvp sins use spikes with blades of steel at the end so a skill with a 4 second recharge will likely not trigger the bonus +15 dmg

And we care why?

Wild strike isn't overpowered.

When this become a gloating contest? lol.
Anyway, for PvE purposes this skill is fine as it is. Then I rarely do see it used on Assassins in PvP, but I do see a lot of R/A people using it though.

What is the next overpowered skill in your jaded opinion?

[skill]Mending[/skill] ?

I use it in pve, but mostly to get to my DB/LS combo. I find the low recharge time helpful when the mobs are being n00bs and die before I can finish my chain. The only other time it is useful is shiro.

I don't know enough about sassis in pvp to comment on it though.

arent you one of the main people who wanted sins removed from the game by the time gws2 came out?

Sorry, someone should have told you before, but the game isn't balanced around exploiting AI battles.

It's not overpowered, it doesn't need a change. Just because you've won 400 hero battles with it doesn't mean much. People have won over 1000 matches on a monk that had guardian, does that mean it's overpowered too?

guardian just got nerfed....so apparently it was. now if you knew what you were talking about id take your opinion seriously.

*MILITANT POST*
We, the STOP ALL NERF NOW AND FOREVER group are again any more change in skills for any reason.
Changin skill is for playtesting time. Once put in a gmae the skill MUST NOT be change for whatever reason.

Don't be ridiculous

MithranArkanere · Mar 21, 2008, 04:17 PM // 16:17

Hm... no...? An unlinked skill with low cost that always deal a critical and remove stances having the only downside of losing all addrenaline, that Asassins do not use at all, used by a profession that is mostly about dealing criticals and conditions...?

Hm... yeah... no Assassin would use that, noooooo... specially having, Wild Strike, that must follow a lead attack and force you tu use 'Fox' skills if you want to hit with a Lead first.

8 seconds is fine. The Gold Fox Strike+Wild strike combo recharge in 4+4 seconds, and Wild Throw requires 7 adrenaline.

In comparison Wild Blow is arround the same.

Guardian got slightly changed from 2s recharge to 4s recharge. I'd hardly call that a nerf.

Also, lolherobattles. I think it's clear that Izzy could care less about the balance of hero battles, so it doesn't really matter what you think of my opinion.

I'll be sure to put sarcasm tags next time I call divine baed so people don't get confused and take it seriously.
