Maybe a moderate AoE decrease along with cooldown reduction.

The cooldown is the problem? You are already using it on cooldown, and want to use it even more frequently?

If using it to remove boons, yes. Boons are probably going to come up more often than every 12 seconds, so faster cooldown would let you keep a handle on enemy boons better.

Man, I really like the idea of making Greatsword #3 a blast finisher. That is brilliant and simple, and certainly adds a little more versatiliy to the skill without messing with cooldown, # of boons stripped, etc. That one improvement would make the skill so much better, imo.

Also, I think it would be cool (although, perhaps balance breaking) if the #5 wave reflected projectiles for 1 second as well.

Seems you guys are all focussing on pvp- boon removal in pve is pretty much redundant. If the devs do anything extra to boon removal they would have to reduce some other facet of the skill such as its’ aoe, range or damage, all of which are a bit ‘meh’ in pve. So if the devs gave u 3 boons removed but no AoE, that would be a harsh nerf to its’ use in pve (as not many mobs buff themselves in the 1st second of a fight and it doesn’t strip defiant stacks). I would be happy with a mini-arcane thievery, though that would mean more careful timing of its’ use. Or how about it casting a mini chaos storm (2 sec) on the target mob using its’ current radius?

I like this poster because he further strengthens the argument for adding a blast finisher to GS3 and otherwise leaving it alone.

GS is just fine. I would like to have the beta version of mindstab which was a targeted skill(because i hate using the mouse in mmos)
