How many people here have been in PvP and been repeatedly slammed by gale? Its too easy to abuse the way it is now, with the weapon /idol switching exploit. I've heard a lot of people sayin it needs to get nerfed. I think there's a simple solution to the problem without making it useless - increase the recharge time.

Lets do the math here: 5 secs recharge, minus 3 secs knockdown, equals 2 sec recharge. I cant do cry of frustration every 2 secs (which isnt a fair comparison to gale anyway, but is the closest I can think of due to line of sight not being needed. Next closest would be savage shot but that at least requires a line of sight)

Now i dont wanna take it away from all you W/E that can't live without it, who have no other skill choice you could possibly choose from. But gale spam must end. I would use diversion, but without being a mesmer primary with fast casting (cuz its cast is 3 secs) I dont have a chance in hell of getting it off in time.

The other option I propose is to make its casting time longer. 1 sec for a 3 sec KD? At least give me 2 secs so I can savage shot or cry of frustrate that sucker.

Please post your comments, feeling and suggestions about this.

No. Make exhaustion go negative. Problem solved.
