I'd like to see it changed to "Stance. For 8 seconds, you attack 33% faster, but have a 10% chance to miss while attacking."

Is there a reason why, or is this just Mad Libs?

Frenzy.

For 8 seconds, you attack 33% faster. When Frenzy ends, you suffer from Dazed for 8 seconds.

Can someone fill me in as to why? The double damage should be enough of a hurt to balance this out.

There are some actual uses to take more damage.
Like having a lot of health and using Grenth's balance.

Change it to a 33% chance to miss, and I think you might be onto something...

Ye that'd work excellent on spikes. It is way better as it is. For AB/Arenas try to cancel it before you die. In pve dont use it. In high-end pvp tell your monk to stop failing and PS you.

Miss = fail.

This suggestion must be about concept and not balance.

Why exactly do you want it changed? It's not underpowered, it's not overpowered. It's arguably the best IAS for a warrior. Keep it as it is.

Bring 5 warriors and 3 monks, have the warriors use that..... thing you call a skill, then have the monks prot spirit each warrior and watch the anal rapage begin.

Btw keep frenzy the same, there was no problem with it being overpowered, and it certainly isn't underpowered.

C'mon guise, this was surely an attempt to bring some laughter and lulz to Guru. Nobody would want to change pefectly fine sill just for the sake of changing. Right?

Worst change ever. Concept skills are for new skills, not to change existing good skills into piles of shit.

No, I did it because it makes more sense. When you're on a Frenzy, you pay attention to how much damage you're taking, but not how accurate you are. So, with Frenzy, instead of taking more damage, you would miss more. Because if you're in a Frenzy, you're just throwing wild blows against an enemy, trying to hit them, not worrying about if you're going to be hit or not. When you're taking damage while in a Frenzy, it snaps you back to reality, thus, realizing you're taking damage. Which is why it doesn't make sense to take double damage.

My axx say yes to this. WTF? So it's like a FREE attack boost for Melee (non-atribute)? GG.

TO OP: NO, you know why? Because Frenzy is GOOD the way it WAS, It IS and It WILL! Change it so it misses 10% = For Iway noobs who spam skills and don't care if it hits!

NO, When you are Frenzy = Boost offensive and degree defensive. IT MAKES SENSE! It's the sense of angriness not Drunkiness!

Frenzy is fine the way it is infact its pretty much a perfect skill it's effective with a pelanty that requires another skill to make best use of it.

Basically its a skill that requires skill to use properly(like it should be).

To OP:

If you keep getting "pooned" by Frenzy, I have instructions for you.

Step 1: Uninstall Guild Wars

Step 2: Go to the run menu and enter "format C:\" (without quotation marks)

Step 3: Read a book

I do believe this nonsense has gone on for long enough. Shame on you all for not seeing how terrible Frenzy is. Hopefully ArenaNet will see this thread and change the skill to work exactly as the OP wishes it to.
