Some ideas I've thought up. Would be interesting if applied. I also think this would give them a better chance. Lemmi know what you guys think.

The recharge time on mark of protection is a definate 'no'.
It should be changed to 30 sec recharge instead but with the same modifications that you have made.

Also with LoD, I personaly amn't happy with a 3 energy skill.

I do like some of the other skill changed you have made though.

LoD had a typographical error and is now corrected.

Mark of Protection should be changed to something completely better from what it is. It's completely not viable in pvp.

Whirling is bad no matter what. But no to the change on that, the only time it would be really useful is against players with Guardian up or a ranger that used a Stance. Wild Blow>Stance and Guardian is seen only in PvP really, Whirling Axe is a bad elite, it won't be used even if it was changed, so no on that one. Bad elite no matter what.

[skill]Primal Rage[/skill]

No on Primal as well, it's a stance because it increases your chance of a critical and gives you armor penetration. It wouldn't work as a skill, would be more like a enchantment. Still a stance because it adds AP and a higher chance of critical hits.

Hex Breaker went from a "stance" to a "skill" so I don't see how it would be any different. Not to mention "Endure Pain" is a skill too... so I totally don't understand where you're coming from.

And with Whirling Axe, I was trying to make it more like a bane to blockway. Perhaps give a bigger benefit when it's blocked. Hmm. I think it could be better but just because its functionality is now doesn't make it a bad POTENTIAL elite. I think it needs to be fixed because with SOOOOO many blocks out there, your chances of getting it disabled is very high. This is the same for Quivering Blade.

Hex Breaker should never have been a stance tbh. Stance's usually employ the use of dodging/speed buff or weapon buffing. It increases your chance at criticals and gives you 20% sundering. That would require a "stance" to do, different fighting style if you will. Endure Pain is a skill because their is no such thing as a way to give yourself more health by simply switching stances. Anet seemed to try to make the stances something towards more real things, like the fact that their are different stances for each style of sword fighting. Each stance has it's own benifits to speed, attack damage, etc. More chance at critical=attack benifit=stance.

It's a bad elite even so. Take Furious Axe (nonelite) if you think you are going to run into blockway, or really just take a hammer. Axe in PvP will normally be a Shock Axe, so they run Evisicerate or Cleave instead of another elite. Most of the axe elites aren't used. Whirling would work just fine in PvE as you don't run into Guardian much, just have to make sure you don't use it against Ranger Enemies. The only benifit of Whirling is the low adrenaline required to use it.

so Life Transfer 1-9 secs and only 12 sec recharge...leet ownage almost constant degen/regen and i would assume that many healing breeze/life transfer invinci dmg crap would come out

Wow, do you ( Onyx ) have any idea what you're on about? The only acceptable ones are Tranquil Was Underused Skill So Buff me and Xinrea's Weapon.

The rest is WAY too overpowered.

Really? The maryter change looks neglible, life transfer would still be a "lol nub self regen" skill. Glimmering mark looks good, but it would only really be good in pve. Whirling axe would still be crap and so would primal, probs . Healing light looks like it would just be WOH's weaker bro. (it is now too...) Earshot would rape LOD. Air of disenchantment again would only be good on a really bad team. Aminty and MOP do look a little powerful though, but still they need a buff.

they need to add my new forum for the war and thats Avatar of Rurik it makes you do fire damage, and it starts raining in game. you get a +400 armor you cant stop running and you say random rurik quotes.

I agree that Life Transfer could use a bit of a revamp but I also agree 12 sec recharge is broken.

Leave the skill as it is, 20 sec recharge.

meh i dont think these skills needs to be changed

12 second recharge on Mark of Protection? Arcane Echo + MoP = Make 2 people invincible forever.
