Improve the Skills of the Professions-List
Phoenix Tears
Anet has made so much Skill Balancings yet, which changed ever only thigns on mostly the same Skills, but over 3 years now, they've never touched so many other Skills, which really need some nerfs, but mostly alot more of them need serious buffs, to become more interesting for Skill Builds, because otherwise no one uses them ever, or only rarely by noobs, until even they find out, that there are better skills out there, compared to the one they used before.
I know that Anet won't have the tiem for such huge Skill Changes, but I think of this thread also more of a suggestion for GW2 - who knows which skills ANet will eventually convert over to GW2 ^^ and if they do it, they can make those skills direct better and more interesting *g*

Most of the skillchanges are horrible or extremely overpowered, or just useless in most cases.
You should read about balance before you decide to change skills by just making random suggestions.

None of the changes would be anyhow useless, maybe useless in the point of making the ksills not interestign enough for their usage, but sure useful enough to make those skills better, than they were before, letting them not so look obsolete versus other skills, like most of the silly basic skills are, which deal just only some damage, have for their damage too high skill cost and have no positive side effects, like dealing a condition or anythign else.
Best example is there "Power Attack" ... without a Change this attack will ever stay a silly useless obsolete Noob Skill, that no one will ever use, once the Noob Time is over... because there exist tons of other skills, which are more powerful, than Power Attack and have some positive side effects, beside dealing damage ...
If you can't show me examples of what should be in your opinion to horrible or overpowered, then please don't post and let such silly comments, that are no help. To say that something is horrible and overpowered can do everyone, but to prove it and to convict the OP of your opinion, that is somethign else.
@kale: I suggested to none of the skills,that do knockdown ,that they should also add dazy to them. all the ones, that should receive daze are silly damage skills, which do atm nothign alse, that to deal damage for to high adrenaline cost and have no reason yet for so high adrenaline cost, so I added with daze to them a reason for the high cost and gave thsoe skills also something, that makes them over the rest more interesting and gets their image away from cheap obsolete noob skills.
Daze is just only a condition, that can be quick removed by monk's condition remove skills, so I don't see a problem in it, with warriors gettign some more skills, that deal to foes daze

PT, I think you need to go get a... umm... clue or something before you start commenting on skill balancing.

I read the first half of the Axe skills and stopped. As soon as I saw every skill mentioned being made either worthless or overpowered, and making changes that made no sense, I stopped reading. It was, after all, a Phoenix Tears post.
Learn how to play the game before making suggestions to change it.
/unsigned
One day I'll learn to stop reading topics some people make.

I have no plans on typing comments about all your skill changes but my statement stands, and I do believe most people here will realise the very same thing.
Gregslot
There goes the balance as we know it.
Seriously, after pikcing HOLY DAMAGE in the middle of the list, i prepered myself to some extremly overpowered skills!
Ah come on man, play some pvp, read your ideas and laugh with us!

No one forces you to read my posts.
Last Comment to all Trolls:
If you think, anything listed here is overpowered, then name the skill and look at the suggest with a more open mind, other then just making it for yourself easy by saying: eaverything is crap ..blah blah blah L2P ect.
Thats not the way of a discussion. There I can talk direct with a Wall and have the same result > Nothing.
When you mean, a change is overpowered, then describe me, why it is in your opinion, that makes the suggestion about unbalanced. Because that's the only way, how I can understand, why you think, something is unbalanced, I can't read your minds you know >.> ? You must tell me, what is about a Skill Suggestion too strong. I'm a PvE' so my suggestions are also mostly pve based, so I can't know, i some of my skill suggestions here owuld heavily affect PvP Play. If thats the case, then tell me with examples.
For the some mentioned Examples now:
I personally don't see a reason, why Dragon Slash should be overpowered, with it dealint Burning for 1-3 seconds to the targeted foe, if you self are under an Enchant. as if it makes the skill so increadibly unbalanced. It would make healing for foes eventually even easer, when the monk foe has then Extinguish in his build, removign the burnign and healing through it thanks to the burning. The Skill has high adrenaline cost and its damage alone is imo no reason for such a high adrenaline cost. also there are plenty other ways to get adrenalin, other than Dragon Slash.
also the Skill's name makes imo imo obvious, that this ksill should deal Burning to foes, that or it should deal instead of physical damage Fire Damage.
Counter Blow:
Whats so imba about lettign it deal critical hits? and daze is a quick removable condition, other classes can also make profit out of beign under coditions, os i absolutely see no problem with it.
and about Rush I thought only, that the warrior needs a good alternative against the rush skills from the Ranger. all rush skills of the warrior have no good side effects, and exist only for the silly little movement boos, that never goes over 25-33% >.> WHats please so imba about it, when the warrior receives 1 rush skill, with soem protective aabilitie also ? huh that lies UNDER the power , of what ranger skills give you, their protective abilities are mostly all over 50% up to 75% !!! OS a change to this skill would be really not dangerous anyhow for rangers, rush would still be ever obsolete vs. ranger rush skills

Daze is the "OH SHI-!" condition. Unless removed promptly, it will force kills, and a team dedicated enough to use it will make it stick long enough to force that kill by preventing condition removals from casting, or locking them out with Diversion.
Making Daze so easy to apply destroys having casters. Moreover, you haven't addressed the fact that Hammer Bash, with your changes, means a permanent knockdown. Permanent knockdown means your foe CANNOT DO ANYTHING. You win by virtue of having made the first attack, and you can win with as little as 9 Hammer Mastery, 2 Tactics and whatever else you like.
You shouldn't encourage power creep and skilless builds.

Energy Burn-Same as surge, no aoe though, 10 second burning
Diversion-Reduce Recharge to 6 seconds, lengthen disable to 3-4 minutes
Blackout-doesnt disable your skills, no touch range, lower recharge to 5-6 seconds
Power Leak-5 Energy, 5 second recharge, causes daze on interupt
Cry of Frustration-Increase Aoe Dmg to 75-150, causes daze on interupt
Psychic Distraction-This skill is no longer an elite-sac 10% health, cost 1 energy, causes daze on interupt
Aneurysm-no longer regains foes energy, causes daze
Shatter Enchant-5 Energy, 10 Second Recharge, deals AoE dmg,removes all enchantments, increase damage to 100-175 per enchantment removed
ok....i've had me fun :-p

I'm sorry but those skills changes are beyond awful. Hammer bash is 2 adrenaline?! So with "FGJ!" up you can spam it on every attack.

Frenzy: for 20 seconds you attack 100% faster, your attack are unblockable and cannot miss.
I think you probably think that one is still underpowered?

Phoenix. Stop posting.
Look, you're an idiot. These buffs are unnecessary, your ideas are unnecessary, and your posts are as well.
Stop making useless contributions.
O YEA, LET'S MAKE EVERY SKILL A KILL-ON-DEMAND.
moron.

Now.... This is just horrid... No offense, but these skill "balances" make look like Izzy a genius when it comes to skill balancing.
No, I won't explain, it'd take time I don't have.

To balance out these skill changes, you'll need to include the Taco Defense skill (unlinked) for all classes besides Warrios.
Its a 0 cost shout with 0 recharge that interrupts any Warrio skill and causes it to backfire upon said Warrio.
