That wouldn't hurt.
Say, hmm, "your attack skills steal life". Hopefully that wouldn't be excessively overpowered, since it's not all that different from Dwayna's effect...

I enjoy the new Grenth. Probably because when people block me it just annoys the crap out of me.

after running with him a few times in RA and laughing at gaurdain monks it will say this. It is nice to be able to wail on a monk even after he has super protted himself
but still it can't beat the old enchant ripping one

another idea: restore grenth to its original function but add in "every time you remove an enchantment in this way you lose 10...3 energy"

Also it makes it so you have to think about your energy. Otherwise you lose Grenth

It may have been useless before, but at least the skill context made sense with the name. They should better call it "Avatar of Something that can hit things"

When the duration got nerfed, it was next to useless. With the current change, it's not close to as great as it was originally, but it's now playable.

eremites (Assuming you're talking about old Grenth) No Wild Blow? Abusing high Scythe crit plus enchant strip due to unblockability is win.

this might kill a monk with gaurdian on... otherwise most people who are block heavy dont have too many spells.

All that happens is you cannot be blocked?How will that stop mystic regeneration or Critical Defence?
I think they should overall change it to something that represents Grenth.Perhaps Life-Stealing or benefits from things dieing?

I think Avatar of Grenth maybe could work into Pvp it would be good for spikes with Pious assault aligned with other heavy attack skills, wild blow included so you can be blocked. But yea this is far better than 30 seconds(something like that) knocking enchants off them because hey if a monk used guardian then stacked 3 more enchants on top of it id rather go with this new one to hit him straight away. I can see why Anet changed it too because it was a waste of a skill never mind a elite because no1 was using it.

And MR is used (beside Dervs) mainly by low AL casters and it won't give them much benefit against hard-spiking Grenth.

Remember that blocking is a powerful mechanic, and in PvP is extremely prevalent. Aside from severely diminishing your raw pressure, it makes you much less of a threat, forces you to change targets when training, and spiking is pretty much out of the question unless you're really, really, really desperate for a kill (which you probably shouldn't be).

Besides, there's something more wrong than your elite choice if you choose to train a target with Mystic Regen on.
