Guild Wars 2

That doesn’t make any sense. You spend adrenaline when you use Arcing Slice, It should do at least 5k damage to a 50% or lower target or at least 1k more than final thrust.

My Final thrust with no crits (3261) does a similar amount of damage to Arcing Slice when arcing slice crits. On a good day, Final thrust could even hit for 5.7k!

So what’s the point of me even using Arcing Slice anyway? Why don’t I just save that adrenaline for Berserker’s power. I mean seriously….. what’s the point……..

What game style? I mainly wvw but I would pick final thrust any day simply because of the weapon set it is on. Nike warriors can run sure, there are a few places in wvw where you can leap with #2 where enermys can not jump (escape) my final thrust range’s from 6k to 9k depending what I hit.

Final thrust is about 80% the damage of a Killshot, I’d say Arcing Slice should, at most, do as much damage as Final Thrust.
As it is, Arcing Slice is definitely too weak.

AoE.

Then again, Final Thrust cleaves.

I’ve had Arching Slice crit for 6-8k.

Roughly the exact same final thrust would. The only difference is PbAoE. 5 targets vs 3.

Final thrust deals almost the exact same dmg as eviscerate to targets below 50% (1 dmg less check the wiki if you want). It is on a condition damage/hybrid weapon and has a painfully slow animation and standard melee range.
Arcing slice gives fury, has damage that is constant at all adrenaline levels and is a easy way to prock cleansing ire.
I honestly don’t get why so many ppl are disliking the skill, it is almost as if they were expecting great sword to get a aoe eviscerate.

I think it’s really important for people to compare it to what Arcing Slice used to be- Which was a completely useless button which did nothing for anyone.

I expected it to be an AoE Burst skill (as the name suggests) that could crit for 5k by chance. But time after time, it’s been underwhelming.

I do understand the AoE caveat though. Make sense.

It does crit for that high if you are running damage instead of nomads.

My bad, I shouldn’t have called this topic PvX when I hadn’t really tried Arcing slice in any other mode.
I tried Arcing Slice in SPvP and it’s very underwhelming there.
