Leg specialist hammer VS sword
I think the only time leg specialist is worth taking is when combining it the arms trait opportunist. 1 sec immo. is negligible for single target
“…let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die;.”

1 sec Immob is enough to set up a full Earthshaker combo and guarantees the Flurry followup if you’re using the Sword.
Leg specialist got changed to having a 5 second cool down.
It isn’t very good now.
It got changed because of the arrow cart utilizing traits at that time and people like to whine about stuff all the time so it got nerfed hard.
What do you expect when people whine instead of learning how to deal with stuff.

You can guaranty ES with Staggering Blow or Back Breaker and Flurry is easy to pull off anyway. IMHO those points would be better placed somewhere else.

You are not likely to earthshaker then flurry since both use adrenaline and if you don’t have your adrenaline maxed for flurry, it isn’t worth using.
That 1 secone immobolize is also only on 1 person because leg specialist has a 5 second cooldown. Hardly enough to waste a earthshaker on unless it is just a 1v1.

True but this gives you an additional option that works from 600 range. Do you think it’s overkill?

I worded that poorly, it was meant as an additional example.

No, like I said, when you weigh the benefits of leg specialist compared to the benefits of other traits you could get with those 10 points, leg specialist isn’t worth it on it’s own. If you combine it with opportunist it might be worth while looking into for a sword build to get more fury up time.

Except that Hamstring cleaves.
TLDR version since many seem to have forgotten the original point.
leg specialist should take into consideration the fact that the skill being used is an AOE cripple even with a 5 sec internal CD if I use hammer cripple it should cripple & immobilize all targets hit and than go on internal CD.

The cooldown should just be removed. It was fine as it was, just got changed with the patch that fixed the AC to not use this trait like it was.
Leg specialist was fine as a trait before, not worth it now, especially considering that guardian hammer 3 has a immobolize range attack that hits several people in a line for 2 seconds of immobolize.
Combined with sword getting it’t skills swapped, leg specialist isn’t that good to have unless all your fights are going to be 1v1.

Agree!
The solution is:
1 – Replace Criple in Sword auto attack for another effect. Torment would be a good option.
2 – Remove CD of this trait.
Easy!

What does that have to do with anything?
Why does it not?
I want my leg specialist back the way it was without the cool down so that if I do use a skill that would apply the immobolize to several people, it will like it should. It is a traited ability after all. Too many people liked to complain about warrior when they were complaing about the wrong class.

There was a short period after a recent patch where the ICD was removed.
Didn’t take more than an hour after the patch for QQ topics about Hamstring (sword autoattack) to appear.

One of the reasons why Leg Specialist needs the ICD is because of the Sword autoattack. A 1s immobilize isn’t that cool on a skill with an 8-12s cooldown, but the autoattack chain takes <2s from start to finish. That’s an almost permanent, rapidly reapplied immobilize.

- The internal CD on leg specialist was placed for the sake of AC in WvW, that is wrong.
another anet stop gap measure, nerf the trait instead of fixing the siege !
Tbh, I could care less about sword cripple / immobilize that is a single target skill and is working kinda as intended, my beef with leg specialist is that it doesn’t work properly with AOE cripple.
EDIT
- your idea would indeed fix the problem on further thought.

The easiest fix is to make sieges skill will not be affected by the players using it. But eh, Anet love to fix something that doesn’t need to be fix, while leaving the stuff that need to be fixed remained the same.
