7 adrenaline.
high +damage
conditional chance of deep wound that is as long as Dismember/Gash (depending on if target has cracked armor).
in the STRENGTH attribute.
sounds good...
The skill
================================================== ========
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Body_Blow
7 adrenaline
+28 at 9 strength , conditional deepwound 11 seconds
+30 at 10 strength, conditional deepwound 12 seconds
+32 at 11 strength, conditional deepwound 12 seconds
+34 at 12 strength, conditional deepwound 13 seconds <--- overkill on the strength investment, people
+36 at 13 strength, condition deepwound 14 seconds <-- the highest you can go with a minor rune and 12/12 attribute split (not advisable though)
As a comparison
================================================== ========
Assuming you have 12-14 axe/sword:
Executioner's Strike: (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Executioner%27s_Strike)
8 adrenaline
+34 to 38 damage
Eviscerate [Elite] (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Eviscerate)
8 Adrenaline
+25 to +29 damage , Unconditional Deepwound 17-20 seconds
Galrath Slash/Silverwing Slash (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Galrath_Slash)
8 adrenaline
+32 to 37 damage
seems pretty imba...considering it dwarfs Eviscerate given the right situation. Do note that 7 adrenaline as opposed to 8 is 1 less swing (or 1 second under 33% IAS)
Body blow:hidden treasure?

Tab
Body Blow is pretty common instead of Executioner's on an Axe bar without Heal Sig already.

Its a great skill when you pair it with Shell shock on a war/ele build.

The str is rather steep and I think str is a shoddy atribute compared to what you can get from other skills...
+36 for 13 str? Not efficient by any means...

In PvP the only tactics skills worth using are WY, Shields Up, and Heal Sig, Strength is a bad attribute you're right about that. But Rush and Bull's Strike make warriors the bad asses that they are.

Hmm well it seems pretty cool... i like the shell shock combo seems like something i wanna try instead of the routine sever artery/gash combo.
