I was thinking of ways to actually use Skullcrack and put it to good use. I tried it earlier as a Warrior Ranger using For Great Justice and Tiger's Fury to get my adrenaline up as fast as I could but they cast too fast or my axe already ripped thru them

I was wondering if anyone has a build with it because I like the idea of the skill but the high adrenaline is what kind of kills it.

I thought of a Warrior/Mesmer using Arcane Condrunum? This is for 4v4 btw and it would be appreciated if no eliteists would come barging in saying it's a "piece of trash"

The worst thing about Skull Crack for me is that it hits at normal attack speed (instead of interrupt speed), so I really need a 2-second spell to be sure I can daze someone. That means it could be easily used against a necro or ele, but is much harder against a monk, which is really what you'd want to daze in PvP. You could save it for an Aegis, but most monks just don't cast 2-sec spells very often.

Though maybe in conjunction with a Migraine Mesmer...That would slow the monk down to where you could daze, then everything would be easily interrupted...hmm...that seems viable, especially in 4v4 where there's only 1 monk normally. You mentioned Arcane Conundrum, but that seems to me to spread the warrior too thin...he's casting instead of building adrenaline. Seems it would work better if a different char did the migraine/ac.

So maybe a team like:

Migraine Mesmer (mig, arcane con, phantom pain, etc)
Skull Crack Warrior (skull crack, for great justice,etc)
Monk
Damage/interrupt ranger

I do wish they'd change skull crack to be a 1/4-sec skill, then it'd be a lot easier to use against monks.

There are at least 2 factions skills that cause daze more easily than Skull Crack, so unless it gets buffed, it probably wont be too useful.

In 4v4, probably not very useful. Odds are you'll face monks using CoP who'll drop it the instant you apply it to them (if it hits in the first place). At least in PvE, you can predict when the enemy is going to cast a spell and daze every time.

Maybe some E-Denial Fear Me! warrior, I dunno.

I was just trying to get something with dazed because this and Concussion Shot are the only 2 in the game that can currently cause dazed. Skullcrack not only requires alot of adrenaline but the cast time isn't good for interupt. Probably the worst elite in the whole game.

In PvP yes, it's probably one of the worst skills; in PvE works just great.
