txs Don't use curses as a warrior. You can get away with using conjures, but not really curses. I mean, I'm not throwing out the possibility that there may be a good curse spell for a warrior, but I certainly haven't seen it, and I doubt that this is it.

1 - Armor rating effects damage received under an equation that means that an increase of x armor points will always equate to a y% reduction in damage* regardless of the AL you started at. So this wouldn't be too bad.
2 - More importantly cracked armor will never drop your AL below 60. Meaning that characters in low level armors are simply immune to its effects.
So the creatures with it are likely to spend 2 seconds casting a spell that does nothing. It might be better for ANET to simply remove it from their skill bars.

The change to WA is pretty neutral. In some situations, it's better, in some it's worse. I hadn't realized it's available in Ascalon, that kinda makes it even more useless for a while.
Either way, the spell stinks for PvE.
They really need to make it AoE/adjacent. Because otherwise it simply is never going on any PvE skillbar ever. If it was AoE, it would be a worthy addition to a SS bar.

I keep all m N/RTs for Deathpact which is way better Because WA just sucks compared to shell shock. Shell shock cast faster, and deals armor penetrating damage, which is a pretty nice side effect.
IMHO this spell is just useless.
Put it on a 3/4 cast and 3 recharge (and halves the duration of craked armour, it won't stay 17 seconds anyway), so it's a cover condition spell, and we're talking.
