If the retaliation was that big of a problem, then change that aspect of the skill....don't nerf the whole skill because of it. Anet had their heads up their asses with this change.
With this change, they also just made the Zeal trait line even less appealing to spec into than what it already was before. The Zeal line is for greatswords, with all the minor traits affecting symbols. Now that the main symbol that was used in greatsword builds was nerfed, it makes the traits in the Zeal line even less effective.
I dunno. Makes me wonder what Anet is smoking.
