The Damage formula is 2.6 * attribute + 1

10 Energy
Anyone know why they went and made this 10 energy? --SK  16:56, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

 * I think the old version was pretty good. It was basically a decent interrupt (not good, since it didn't have the 1/2s activation) plus a massive damage bonus when you hit a spell.  Compare it to Distracting Blow.  While distracting's got the AoE effect, removing it probably wouldn't make anyone that's already using it get rid of it (do people use the AoE-ness in PvE?).  I think it maybe needed toning down, but it pretty much got patched into oblivion.  At least they gave it a 1/2s activation?  --68.142.14.19 17:22, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * One wonders if ANet is anti-sword :/ Every nerf they do of sword skills makes people wanna use axes (BLEARGH) more. They still need to make a cyclone-axe type skill for sword (I mean, who the hell swings a one-handed axe in a circle? At least it makes sense for sword). -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|||My Talk]] 17:28, 30 August 2006 (CDT)

 * Warrior's Endurance + Counterattack + Savage Slash and your energy management is good to go. You could also use Flourish I suppose, if you want to spam it every 10 seconds... Lann 3:19, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * its 5 energy now

Yes, it is 5 energy now. The extra damage offsets the recharge on distracting blow, I think is Anet's theory. Please remember to sign comments. --Ryudo 21:20, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

5 energy again
Now this skill is 5-energy again. Maybe they regretted making it 10-energy back then ... --Aozora 08:55, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
