Twicky, Frag is too weak to be a threat anymore. The amount of people with skills to remove coniditions and hexes is much more then the amount of people that frag. In terms of RA a Mesmer/Assassin or Assassin/Mesmer wouldn't be effective enough and its highly unlikely to get an assassin and a Fragger in the same group that know how to work together, in Team Arenas; Could pose a threat, Hall of Hereos.. Not strong enough to build a team off of, and in GvG theres much better team builds out there.

And still... Wouldn't Phantom Pain + Virulence be quicker? Sure it might not add the 7-17 +(What ever) damage a dagger could do, but its ranged casting.

Yes that skill is going to be nice. I haven't seen the recharge on it so I can't tell you how good its going to be. If its similar to 10 seconds (which I dought) then it would work. Of course providing it hits. That's where the other problem lies.

Frag is not weak at all. Its not for dmg dealing only. Its for punishing them for gaining conditions which increases your dps. Then if they remove the conditions it does more punishment (draw conditions, martyr) or reduces the healing (mend ailment, condition). If you try to compare it to the 3 sec kill it used to be it will NEVER live up to that again. Try using for other puposes.

Do agree in current environment that pp+shatter would do nicely. 15 recharge on pp throws it off a little but still same as virulence. In comparison I'd still rather have dazed and blind.

Unfortunately game companies take this crowd of people way too serious, and instead just placate the lazy nature.
