I think this skill is overpowered since its buff to non-block. with the 4 sec recharge it is extremely spammable, low cost, and high-damage. I think the recharge should be 8/10 seconds. thoughts?

Ummmm no. Wild Strike is never used in any common sin builds. It maybe be used in more utility sin builds like Shattering Assault or something, but Wild Strike will never be good enough to be in any gibs. Most assassins will use their offhand as their starter (an offhand with no lead requirement) or as energy management, usually Lotus Strike. I don't see it too much in the meta, so I think its fine as it is.

the only build the skill has found use in is the shattering assault chain apart from that build its not really used much. This is (in pvp) actually due to the fact that it has a short recharge and a normal activation time. a lot of pvp sins use spikes with blades of steel at the end so a skill with a 4 second recharge will likely not trigger the bonus +15 dmg

Wild strike isn't overpowered.

When this become a gloating contest? lol.
Anyway, for PvE purposes this skill is fine as it is. Then I rarely do see it used on Assassins in PvP, but I do see a lot of R/A people using it though.

I use it in pve, but mostly to get to my DB/LS combo. I find the low recharge time helpful when the mobs are being n00bs and die before I can finish my chain. The only other time it is useful is shiro.

I don't know enough about sassis in pvp to comment on it though.

Sorry, someone should have told you before, but the game isn't balanced around exploiting AI battles.

It's not overpowered, it doesn't need a change. Just because you've won 400 hero battles with it doesn't mean much. People have won over 1000 matches on a monk that had guardian, does that mean it's overpowered too?

Hm... no...? An unlinked skill with low cost that always deal a critical and remove stances having the only downside of losing all addrenaline, that Asassins do not use at all, used by a profession that is mostly about dealing criticals and conditions...?

Hm... yeah... no Assassin would use that, noooooo... specially having, Wild Strike, that must follow a lead attack and force you tu use 'Fox' skills if you want to hit with a Lead first.

8 seconds is fine. The Gold Fox Strike+Wild strike combo recharge in 4+4 seconds, and Wild Throw requires 7 adrenaline.

In comparison Wild Blow is arround the same.

Guardian got slightly changed from 2s recharge to 4s recharge. I'd hardly call that a nerf.

Also, lolherobattles. I think it's clear that Izzy could care less about the balance of hero battles, so it doesn't really matter what you think of my opinion.

I'll be sure to put sarcasm tags next time I call divine baed so people don't get confused and take it seriously.

if you call a 2 second change from 2 to 4 when it still lasts 5 seconds on you so is still able to be kept up permenantly a nerf then youre the one that doesnt know what they are talking about.
