Low slash morphs...

Sparxlost

Deep slash
pretty much useless compared to ransack except that it is an aoe
what i would change is to remove minor maim and the aoe from it and make it apply bleed damage to the enemy as well as speed debuff
Heroic slash
Add the aoe to this morph instead

i just felt the name heroic slash felt more aoe to me and deepslash was a little more personal....

Are you talking about for PVP purposes? While I agree Deep Slash is useless for tanks, Heroic Slash is fine the way it is. Rather have ulti generation than more damage as a tank. As for Ransack, I've never seen a reason to run that over Pierce Armor

Sparxlost

yes.... and also pve i'm not nerfing heroic slash in any way just taking the aoe from deep slash and putting it there instead

I use deep slash as AoE spammable on Knight Errant bruiser build.

Okay?
for movement debuff and minor maim i am assuming???

if heroic slash had the aoe instead then you would still get minor maim plus ult generation...

Deepslash is used to apply two debuff for many enemies vs Heroic providing ultimate. It all depends on what you want to do as a tank. Slow them or gain ultimate. I prefer ultimate and most tanks usually do as well. When I first started tanking I used deepslash in Vet Dungeons as the extra debuff did help out a bit when I first started to tank.

As for Puncture vs ransack. Well again it all depends what your focus is as a tank self survival vs. increasing the group damage on the target. Ransack is self debuffing the enemy so you take less damage vs. Puncture that allows the group to deal more damage.

No, purely for AoE damage Knight Errant is SnB (only) damage buff + heals on SnB ability use, so you have to fill your bar with SnB skills to get best out of your build. Power bash is single target spammable, deep slash is aoe spammable.

Sparxlost

but if they moved the aoe to the other morph of the skill would you care????
why??

Please change deep slash to have a 10% lover TT than the regular meele spammable standard and lower it's cost to match other Spammables.

A hit with your actual weapon should be the main Spammable of SnB and not power Slam

Morph effects are:
New effect
Increases the damage dealt. Now hits all targets near the initial enemy hit, and snares them.

If it keep all these and minor heroism is added too, it is straight upgrade 2 for 1. Of course I would use it. If it loses damage in process, I will drop that build entirely, much like other one of my characters had to abandon entire playstyle because ZOS chose to completely revamp (very niche) set that was fundamental for all the builds that character was running.
