Not denying usefulness of pacify. It's better than nothing.
However, kidney punch line used to be a stun AND a knockdown, which would allow for higher damage on one of our other abilities. When I was conserving power, I'd use uppercut to stun, swing behind the mob, kidney punch them, then stomp them. This would produce the most damage for the least amount of power.
Taking out the knockdown means I have to either use the stomp while facing the mob (higher chance for not landing), or use a more inefficient knockdown attack that burns through power quicker. Uppercut's cut duration means I'm not going to be able to backstab AND stomp in it's short window either.
This is a tactic for both soloing AND while MTing btw (yes, i keep aggro by doing damage.. i have to), so it's important for a large part gaming.
This means there's more than one nerf involved by making it Daze instead of stun/knockdown. More than just the standard "reduction in duration" that everyone is getting.
ya, i completely agree. i was just stating that pacify isn't as useless as i understood earlier posts expecting it to be. was just trying to give some hope to the doomsday sayers
