Thoughts of the new Proxy Detonation?

Wanted to start a feedback thread on this skill to discuss its changes.

"This ability is now an instant cast. We also increased the detonation time to 8 seconds, and reduced the damage by 28% to compensate."

My Thoughts: After using it for a while, I miss the old proximity detonation. It may just be that I need to get used to it, but 8 seconds feels like a LONG time to wait. I would rather be able to be interrupted and have it at the regular 4 seconds, which I actually feel is more balanced. I'm also a bit worried that groups will be able to more easily tank up and explode since there is no cast time (maybe I'm crazy).

As for the damage, if ZOS thought it was too much then so be it. I liked having to strategically cast a skill that could make or break my battle, but perhaps it was too strong in groups.

What does everyone else think about the change?

    it's more designed for melee people to explode up close while hacking you appart, the damage on both was nerfed hard... the other morph worse of since it caps

    Changes don't mean much in the end and still not an anti-zerging tool.

    The new proxy in use and in the wording is a absoulte joke, cant even comprehend how this change even got passed on to PTS. Proxy right now the way it is in live dosnt make a group Fear it and spread out 8 meters alrdy. So when you add a 8 second window where they know exactly where your coming from (huge ass red circle under your feet when u have proxy) and the fact that even with the 25% max scaling form 5 people you hit with it dose less dmg then it dose on any amount of targets right now, you expect that to be a good change??? Get a clue and please play your game before you roll out changes. You could of posted the tooltip on the fourms and any real pvp player would know how *** it is just by reading the toottip for this.

    Any damage nerf to this ability is a good nerf. I'd be happier with a 38 or 48% damage nerf.
