Because a stance that takes up your elite skill just to have 75% block while your attacking isn't overpowered. Wild blow/throw/strike or spells > FB.

In order to maintain it, you need at least 15 dagger mastery, not many people would put a sup rune on a sin. And it isn't that overpowering anyways, as it was said, a Wild attack can take it off no challenge and also, it was already nerfed a while back. Before it was nerfed, you could maintain it at 12 dagger mastery, not 15.

It sucks. It's effect is conditional, by far. [skill]critical defenses[/skill] > that.
Plus you have to be attacking over it.

If you think this skill is imba I think you should uninstall....:/

I was sorta thinking you’d want to buff it..?

I want to buff it

Even if it didn’t have the crippling "while attacking" requirement it would still be questionable. (needing a huge dagger requirement to be kept up permanent prevents monk abuse)

Not clueless in the least.
Sure it isnt that great IF you bring wild blow.
My point is that it can be kept up always and nothing should be able to do that.
I said IMO incase you cant read.
If you dont like the idea I really dont care no need to be flaming by calling me clueless.

But mods please just close this thread I can see a bunch of asses already dont need more.

If anything, it needs a buff, not a nerf. The skill is shit.

So all maintained enchantments and countless other skills are also overpowered because they can be kept up always?

Noes, Elementalists' Attunements are overpowered.....
Nor is this skill. It has a huge penalty for upkeep, and if you're having problems with this skill and think it's overpowered, I suggest /uninstalling.

Easy things to do -- Target switching, Kiting to negate the Block effect...

Don't post on a DISCUSSION forum if you don't want people to DISCUSS your ideas. People have the right to agree and disagree with your opinion.
If you just want people to say "why, what a brillant young man that Hailey Anne is, we should do that right away" you have a lot to learn about life.

I think Flashing Blades should cause bleeding or something upon successful blocks. Something to make it better then Glad's Defense. Or atleast AS good as Glad's defense.

It's still going to be a bad skill.

That would still be really weak.
And Glad's Defense is still really bad.

no, Its called an unfortunate truth from your end. The skill sucks, bottom line, it probably wouldn't even be good if it wasn't an elite skill. If you think its overpowered, you're not very smart GW wise. Deal with it and try to get better.

Another bad suggestion to nerf assassins. That with those horrible title suggestions make Sardelac as bad as it's been in the past year.

Alas, you are wanting to change an already bad skill to an even worse skill because to you it's overpowered.

Asking for a nerf on an already terribad skill is bad.
