The initial hit of Noxious Breath and Venomous Claw do more damage than Puncture...

Mashille

Venomous Claw: Deals 4787 Damage and an additional 17556 Damage over 12 seconds, dealing 12% increased Damage every 2 seconds.

Noxious Breath: Deals 7418 Damage and an additional 9054 over 12 Seconds, also applies Major Fracture.

Puncture: Deals 4431 Damage and applies Major Fracture.

Something is seriously wrong with this patch, I guess Puncture is now exclusively a PvE Tanking ability. "Play how you want" my ass

Sorry SnB isn’t meant to do as much damage as having dw or 2h slotted. It should be meant for tanking like resto is meant for healing.
Do you see any resto abilities hitting 10k offensive tooltips like puncture and heroic slash did? Didn’t think so.

What are the tooltip costs of those skills?

What on Earth are you talking about? Resto abilities don't do damage and Puncture has always been a possible option for PvP until now.

@LiquidPony

Puncture: 924 Stamina, Venomous Claw: 1029 Stamina Noxious Breath: 1403 Stamina, granted the latter is slightly more expensive but the cost increase is minor and my point is there is now 0 Reason to run puncture. And while looking at abilties, Low Slash is now also utterly useless in PvP.

Low Slash: Cost: 2382 Stamina, 5317 Damage (Less than Noxious Breath) and adds Minor Maim, + Heroism.

Good.

Also, I'm not comparing it to Two Handed or dual wield, I'm comparing it to a skill that does the exact same thing + more?

What do you mean more? You have taunt + major fracture and major breach or minor protection. Sounds more then comparable to effects of claw and nox.
