Curse

Since Anet usually sees what's going on in guru I'd thought this would be a good time to ask Anet to improve Skullcrack. Let's compare Disrupting Chop and Skullcrack.

Disrupting Chop
If it hits, this attack interrupts the target's current action. If that action was a skill, that skill is disabled for an additional 20 seconds.

Skullcrack
If this attack hits while target foe is casting a spell, that foe is Dazed for 15 seconds.

I wouldn't mind if Skullcrack would have the same description as Disrupting Chop but of course inflict the daze effect rather than the skill disable. That and maybe drop 1 hit of Adrenaline and this may actually be a worth an elite slot. Maybe it should be reworded and reworked to this:

Skullcrack
If it hits, this attack interrupts the target's current action. That foe is Dazed for 15 seconds.

It's only fair, I mean a quick Mend Ailment will remove this anyways but as it is Skullcrack is almost nonusable against monks.

Hopefully others will /sign that something must be done.

A quick mend ailment that takes 3x as long to cast = 3s while being easily interruptable.

Assuming you can land it on ANY monk skill other than enchantments or smiting skills. With 9 Adren cost you cant' really spam it in hopes of catching something either. Also it doesn't interrupt anything apart from spells, so Res Sig > this.

/Signed x 100

i think being brought down to 7 adrenline with a 1/4 cast time would be useful

Well thats the point now isn't it? Might as well make it worth for the elite slot.

I thought there was already a petition for this. But whatever.

With the release of factions, dazed will become a much more common condition (broadhead, Temple strike........) and i think skullcrack should definitely have a buff to keep up with these skills. so,

Reason due: Possible exploitation

The moment it turn into what OP list, I will pack R/W and apply poison + skull like no tommorow. It is a skill of no attribute, how overpower would this make skullcrack? Very.

Move it to strength attribute, then buff it.
=============

I believe Anet made this skill not for killing monk to begin with. Which is actually kind of stupid, since monk are the biggest threat out there.

/signed just to let me have more varied Elites to use...I'm bored with Eviscerate.

It should be more like:

Skull Crack - 7 adren - If this attack hits, target foe is interrupted and dazed for 15 seconds. This attack cannot be "blocked" or "evaded".

Then I MIGHT use it.

9 Adrenaline points is too much and this skill is totally useless in pvp

Horrendous in PvP, pretty good in PvE

/notsigned because I feel it doesn't need improvement, just a minor redesign that balances it better for PvP without changing it much.

Just compare this with a ranger running broadhead arrow in the future
Assuming 12 expertise, 13 energy to daze someone from far away and skullcrack, 9 adrenaline and you have to hit on a spell, kinda hard with all the boon prots flying around don't you think?
