Hi Power Lash!
My name is Power of the Light. I'd like to have a word with you on behalf of my cousins Daedric Curse, Assassin's Will, and Deep Fissure. The reason why you are on a cooldown is that your more of a special proc rather than ability: you work much in the same way as we do in that we can only damage our target once every 3-6 seconds.

taking assassins will as example from you, the skill clearly shows you when you can fire the proc, then even if it would be evaded you can still gain another couple stacks and do it again. Whips Icon changes to the Power Lash proc when the target is off-balanced, however the Icon does not revert after you used it so it still shows as the proc ability even though the proc is now locked out due to cooldown. this causes a lot of frustration because you burn your magicka on the normal Whip instead of power lash. Also the 3 second cooldown means that you can get off 1 lash (and usually have it evaded anyway -> cooldown on lash) and no more during the 4 sec Duration of off-balance leading to a 15 sec immunity thus preventing any further uses of power lash entirely. this rendered the ability useless in both PvE and PvP. At least Mobs usually dont evade, in pvp any decent Player will know exactly when the power lash is coming (usually after talons/petrify - Whip) while NBs have the choice to use assassins will (at will, pun intended) and can precharge it on any enemy so it is often possible to open up with assassins will and repeat it 4 GCDs later again. For DKs its basically one lash per fight… lol?
power of the light cannot even be compared, as cant Daedric Curse. both are debuffs/CC type effects. and you can use Deep fissure anytime you want, ofc your override the timer (which can be very useful in some situations).
I cannot name any other skill/morph that is meant as "spammable" main damage with an added situational benefit that you can only use once every 15 seconds in a 4 second window that requires concussion + lightning wall of Elements or immoblize + initial non-evaded attack… there is no reason to slot this skill anymore (Force Pulse or Elemental Weapon are better in every aspect). Molten Whip (the other morph) is extremely bad too, yet now is better than the other morph.
