Now that wild strike has been buffed to an unblockable attack skill, Is there a reason to use Fox Fang anymore?

Wild Strike
Recharge time 4 secs.
Attack damage +10...+30
Target foe losses current stance


Fox Fang
Recharge time 8 secs.
Attack damage +5...+25
Target foe doesn't lose current stance


Should Anet buff Fox Fang for it to be equally good to Wild Strike?
What's your opinion about this?

doesn't fox fang come out in 1/2 sec? Although I do agree that it needs to have it's recharge lowered.

You forgot to mention that they gave Fox Fangs a casting time of 1/2. That is a very considerable benefit, if you ask me.

Yes. Especially since the recharge doesn't matter if your lead attack has a longer recharge. .5 can be awesome.

The .5 secs doesn't really sound so spectacular given what the new Wild Strike can do now. Wild Strike is more versatile now compare to Fox Fang

I've always used Wild Strike over Fox Fangs anyway. Half the recharge for a start and it removes stances. Now that it's unblockable, even more reason to use it.

Well Lead -> Offhand isn't a very good spike, and if they have a blocking stance and you don't remove it your dual will most likely not connect... so yea Wild Strike ftw

This is PvE, spiking matters?
I'd take Wild Strike, if only to end stances on things like Naga Rangers or Kournan Bowmen.
