Avatar of Grenth: duration increased to 10..90 seconds; functionality changed to: "For 10..90 seconds, you cannot be blocked by enchanted foes, and your attacks deal cold damage. This skill is disabled for 120 seconds."

Useful? Still Crappy? Discuss.

I suppose it does allow us to hack away at monks etc

It's worse than b4 imo.
pretty much does nothing, beacuse since you can use guiding hands for spikes, and not everyone is enchanted.
dervs dont need to always be able to hit, just for spikes, so the only way this would work is for some crappy pressure

Well at least now it has potential...before it had no chance.

so instead of the old enchant removing attacks of grenth now we just get no block from enchanted foes right....
lets just make it a normal form then since it has no use left anymore

IMO, it needed a 3rd effect like the other avatars, as cannot be blocked isn't so big a deal.

I'm not really sure what anet was hoping to accomplish with this ... it's even more useless now then it was yesterday.

Not really that impressed with the nerf to mystic regen either. Time for some [skill]mending[/skill] lol

I was pretty excited when I came back home, started GW and saw that an updae has been made - I thought - Grenth maybe? And then I looked here, saw the thread's topic and started going like 'zomg yeah anet gjgjgj at last good direction changes'. But then I saw the new functionality.

Epic fail. 'by enchanted' needs to be removed.

It's actually not that bad now. Capable of attacking through protted targets? Yes please. It makes anti-blocking worthless on a target, which is very strong. The only problem is, melandru is still better.

it might see some action in RA.
*monk spams gaurdian
*derv laughs and hacks away

that's probably as far as it gets used.

Meh, I'm still going to cap it and use it. Why, because I can. And I shall enjoy every second of it. Also good for taking out R/E Conjure Rangers.

Last time I checked, Wild Blow was tantamount to a Dervish skill, too.

I like the new Grenth. I just need a reason to stop being a godmode tree, now.

Its not on Par with Melandru for PvP and its still useless in PvE. I think they should add a vampiric effect, steal a certain amount of health on hit. that would fit with grenth.

But then it would be over powered again cause people would just run a lot of 'unblockable' attacks like wild blow and what not, stealing massive amounts of health. Sure a vamp thing would be nifty, but maybe just make it like if target foe is enchanted, your attacks are unblockable and every time you hit you cause bleeding, or some kind of low level condition, or gain 10 health or something. A vamperic attack that requires either auto attack or skill use with no health degen is made of too much win.
