The skill now ends after 1-3 incoming attacks...
Not sure how much it affects everyone, but I used it pretty often on my warrior.
Now... it ends really quickly in battle and if you're constantly trying to keep it up, you won't be able to use very many adrenaline skills.
Anyone else think this sucks?

Yeah, it's pretty much useless for a warrior now. Replace it with another skill.

Why would you care in PvE anyway. Just use Great Dwarf Armor for yourself and "Save Yourselves!" for the squishies.

Useless. ANet couldn't just nerf it, they had to kill it entirely. Sigh.

It's annoying for me who primarily plays as a caster that there is no real skill that I can have my heroes use instead, since they don't have access to hero skills. It's a shame.

It is the only skill in Prophecies that gives you that buff and on Warrior who uses a heal sig it was nice.It was always WY and Heal Sig. even the White Mantle do this as well as Bonetti.

It's been pretty dead ever since "Save Yourselves!" came out.

And I don't care about it on Warrior heroes because they're baed. Para heroes all the way

What exactly means "1-3 incoming attacks"?
Just attacks from weapons, or also skills?

It's a bloody disgusting nerf. The nerf should have been to Paragons as a class, instead all Anet focuses on is mashing the entire Tactics shout line into the ground.

Not totally. But seeing how the majority of tactics suck (yes healing sig sucks), you might as well drop it from your bar and invest in something else.

ANet is not stupid, contrary to what many believe. Trust me, there will be an update that will make Tactics useful again. Imagine the most elite posters/players on this forum and the give them the knowledge of the exact mechanics behind the game--those are the people testing and changing the skills for GW. I don't doubt for a second that they didn't know the impact of the skill changes and it would be ignorant for anyone that has played the game for long to think there aren't changes soon to come.
