It should never, ever be preferable that you stop targeting and look straight down to get the most damage out of an ability.

It’s just poor game design.

So I can only use it once every 30 seconds. Makes sense.

30 seconds? On every build it should be 20 sec

The only other thing I can imagine you running is DA, Acro, and DD but that’s really going to hinder your utility and ability to respond to different builds. Probably want to sub out one line for trick to reduce steal cd which will help your problem, or you can run infiltrator’s signet.

Well in PvE AA is normally a better option outside of Steal into a weakening Charge……

Because you have to look straight down and stop targeting your enemy to make it actually hit them.

Which is the point of this post. The ability does not function well. It needs to be changed to be more usable.

No even without a weakening Charge AA chain is better DPS outside of Combining Steal with Mug on Weakening charge, and you are trying to use Weakening Charge in a manner the skill wasn’t meant to, it’s a multi hit movement AoE skill similar to Rev Staff 5.

What you keep say you’re doing to make all hits the same area has been claimed to be an exploit by Devs through players manipulating Camera angle to affect skill movements, sooo yeah

You’re wasting your time.

Majority of the people in the forums are casuals and “PvP” players. They have no idea what you’re referring to, unless they take the time to go look into it.

Why do you think the forums are so riddled with nonsense complaints?

Again he is using the skill outside its intended parameters using a method that anet has deemed an exploit. Just saying

It’s such an exploit that they don’t like it, which is why they designed it in the same fashion as HS, which is also dependent on camera angle. /s

What I am getting at is that you should stop trying to pass your opinion off as something ANet said.

Devs have stated they are working on a fix, and that it’s an exploit and isn’t intended behavior, go look up the thread about shortened Heartseeker leaps through black powder, that’s where the Devs response is /GG

Seems so. If it takes an “exploit” for a skill to be usable, then the skill is broken and needs a redesign. Seems hard for the others to understand.

It’s useable you are just using in a way it was intended with an exploit

I agree with op. Weakening charge was bad designed. If not used with steal, or camera down without target, nobody would really use it. It’s a skill which locks you into an animation and make you move forward, it doesn’t to more dmg than auto attack if used properly.
So yes, this skill would have been better off without the movement part!

It is being used in a way that is unintended in terms of its damage component.

It is also poorly-designed , but so is the entirety of Daredevil and almost every elite from HoT.
