Second of all, no, maim didn't get a damage boost in this patch. It got an increased potency of exposed effect in exchange of it lasting 3x less than before and the recast going up in 6x. Not even close to be an even exchange.

I'm not really sure why such aggressive post of yours...i didn't even quote or at least disagree of any of your posts...and i'm just showing the points regarding why i think it's a nerf...



Indeed. I'm not really sure how well Comrade II is as cross-class since i don't have it still so i prefer to just assume you require a LNC for it to work properly. Do you have any numbers regarding comrade performance at cross-class with pikemanship? If the Comrade cross-class can offer 500-1k extra TP in less than 3 swings then it does makes maim-over-maim potentially possible

But the other situation is not really valid...by the time we started talking about multi targets, we no longer are talking about Maim as WS since using Maim over Storm's Path in a multi-target battle would be, at least, odd. ^^:
comrade you give up 500 tp, but while the effect is on you get like 250 more tp per hit on the effected monster, if you use it when you basic attack cooldowns are up, you can keen maim use the 3 basics and remaim, if you are fighting two targets you only need 2 swings.

biggest problem is sometimes the effect doesnt proc, not sure if thats intentional, In the new system, comrade is a pretty strong tool. Though when you mass murder it is less so, but then again those cases you probably couldnt get two maims off anyway.
