"Smash" (2H Scribe Skill) Needs Fixing

Mashille · June 2

I've been trying this ability out in PvP over the last couple of weeks.

It's completely worthless and pretty much never actually hits.

Even if the enemy is directly infront of me, most of the time the ability literally doesn't do anything. I thought it could be useful to slot as a Stun, but it's so unreliable that it's never worth using, as even after casting it 4-5 times in a row on someone in melee range of myself, 90% of the time, the ability will simply not work.

The ability should either just be made a targeted ability, or it needs it's radius drastically increasing because in its current state the ability just doesn't work

The stun of it is one of the best in game, undodgeable, unblockable and will always leave the opponent stuck in CC for 1 second before breaking free. Really strong skill, just takes getting used to.

It's definitely not the easiest to land, but I think that is the tradeoff given how strong it can be with the right scribes. I've quite enjoyed using it as my stun recently.

I wish it was better in pve and could use a frost damage script.

I use it on a a stam sorc with the sorcerer class script + whatever buff or debuff I might be missing at the time. I've never had it fail to hit the enemy or enemies I'm targeting. The sorc script adds ~2k to the tooltip, though without that script I'm not sure I'd bother using it for damage.

I do wish it was more differentiated from the 2h spammable though. It looks fairly similar and the only difference is that it's AoE. Something on the base skill to help differentiate scribing skills further would also be nice - some of them are kinda bland even if you can customize them via scribing, when compared to other skills available.
