Guild Wars 2

Buffed really hard.

Its competing with Last Stand and Cleansing Ire. CtW should get buffed like the threshold should be below 75% hp instead of 25% threshold and grant 50% more damage against weakened foes instead of 5%.

Even then, I would have a hard time considering choosing between cull the weak over cleansing ire even if I had the mace as a weapon because cleansing ire is what keeps Warriors viable. I wouldn’t even choose CtW in PvE either because the entire line isn’t zerker friendly.

Also, Last Stand could get a buff, not as hard. 40 second cd instead of 90 seconds.

Cull the weak should be merged with Sundering Mace.

One potential strength of the trait is that there doesn’t appear to be a ICD on the Weakness you apply when hitting someone below 25%. That means that once you get them to that point they will hit like a wet noodle for the rest of the fight.

There’s also synergy to be had with Body Blow. Basically if you have a Mace you can have absurdly high Weakness uptime. With Sundering Mace that means that when they are Weakened you will be doing 15% more damage with Mace overall.

Is this worth using Cleansing Ire and in Skullcracker’s case Forceful GS? That remains to be seen.
