Please no more of this in the Expansion. Please hire better mathematicians.

That rune interaction is the only good thing about the trait at the moment.

Headbutt is awesome in PvP (and probably small scale WvW battles). Stunbreak on 18s CD that is also a 3s stun AND gives full adrenaline? Pair it with savage instinct for an awesome Berserker set up? Yes please.  I set up kills with it all the time. Would be great if it ignored blind, but the same could be said of literally every skill in the game, so...I won't quibble too much.

 

But yes, giving it back its damage or removing the "removes stability" effect would be great .

Yeah headbutt is really kitten strong tbh. It enables several traits,stunbreak,enables rousing ( On its own if you use the stunbreak trait too), a Long cc aswell. Its a great util to land a burst or a hard to land or slow projectile skill like pindown and setup a proper burst with it.

Adding wild blow is also good fun.

Issue rly is using it purely as a stunbreak, as you can't cancel stow the animation (to bait enemies even) and the windup is so big, chances are youll gett CCd by the time you complete your long journey kek.

It works best at closer ranges. That and if you use it after eating a CC on purpose you can hide the windup within the enemies own animation vomit.

Very true. Also works great after baiting a dodge roll and you catch them just as they pop up (just like any of our other CC).

works for me the best when I face the other way and let them follow me

However it works for your playstyle I suppose. Still a pretty versatile elite, with the fact that it is an 18s stunbreak being one of the better aspects of it. Honestly its my favorite elite skills in this whole game and I wish more of them were as impactful as it can be.

You can:

Use it to clear an immob if you have warrior's sprint. Clears an extra condition if you have anti toxin runes 😉

break a stun.

jump start your adrenaline.

Big stun on the target for a Savage Instinct Berserk -> F1 -> BR -> F1 spike.

For PvE with Brave Stride it will self provide the stability for the damage increase.

Only drawbacks really are the animation lock and the self stun.
