Default Eviscerate!!!

Well is it still worth the elite spot now after the update?

It's only a slight nerf... it'll prolly still remain popular in both the PvE and PvP scene... but i think ANet is just encouraging people to give other elites a try (though Dwarven Battle Stance remains unchanged... say wha?)

i dono but i have the feeling they want us to use Cleave more. *looks at the buff of dismember*
Its not bad but still Eviscerate is better. deep wound and damage in 1 skill is far better then just damage.

the reason why evicerate got so much love in pvp was the fact that you got the dmg plus the deep wound at the same time in one swing, add that to the fact that it doesnt show the loss from the deep wound on the bar until the next dmg is delt, follow it with a exe strike and it made one impressive spike that would hopefully over whelm the monks.

still, the cleave and dismember combo will get some more attention now...

Quite possibly the dumbest statement of the month. We'll know for sure in a couple weeks if it can hold the title.


In PvE triple Chop is a sweet skill. Mobs stay bunched up, and with the reduced adrenal cost of dismember, a nice combo to be had.

Please don't post on a subject you blatantly have no clue about. This was a tiny little tweak to Eviscerate, and it is still incredibly powerfull.

This comment was totally uncalled for.

Nerfs are going to happen, you just gotta roll with the punches I guess.

You still get 2 for 1 with the skill and its still worth it in my book even with the dmg point loss.

lol, a friend of mine actually whispered me saying
WTF THEY NERFED MY AXE SPIKE BUILD

It was funny cuz all they did was take 9 dmg of it, but the main point is,Eviscerate still remains one of the best axe skills ever made for this game.

Yeah I agree, triple chop is a skill but only for farming.

Wouldnt use it anywhere else really either then some vermin or trolls .

Thank goodness. Thought this was another stupid comparison thread between eviscerate and some other warrior elite. *Phew*

Yes, Eviserate is still a good skill. Us monks still fear the deep wound plus damage.

if the typical eviscerate,ex strike (before update), did 80 + DW + 80 = 160 + DW = 160 + (.2)(HP), figures 480 is base...160 + (.2)(480) = 160 + 96 = 256 damage
Atfter Update .... eviserate, ex strike .... Assuming same damage as above example......71 + DW + 80 = 151 + DW = 151 + (.2)(480) = 151 + 96 = 247
....ok so comparing 256 v. 247, 9 difference....only lost slightly more then 3% of the damage output, so this really is a minor nerf, still very useable

Forgot...as the before update damage increases...say to 100 with both evisverate + ex strike, the percentage of loss of damage is going to become even lower, until at a point where it is not even apparent, 9 damage in a 250 pt spike, nothing to worry about.

im looking at an executioners strike - critical chop - destructive chop as a new combo.. Destructive chop is a new elite with +53 damage, and critical chop is a half a sec attack
