Question about Wicked Reminder.

Greets! I'm fairly new to TR, been asking a lot of questions in Legit channel/guild etc but could not find a complete answer about how/if Wicked Reminder works etc. Firstly, some people said it did not work(bugged) and gave no damage boost etc. Others said it did but that if you have ARP to 24% already then it would in effect do nothing as the boss' armor rating will only go to zero at best anyhow.
I had assumed it was like plaguefire so it would be a bonus to damage done even IF you have 24% and also in addition to plague. Is this correct? Also, does this reduction in damage resistance apply to the TR only or give bonus to your party/all people attacking said target(dragon's etc)

it works as a de buff or buff ( depends on how you look it it) it gives more armor penetration to the entire party for a short duration. so you can say it lowers enemy defense.
its good on bosses fights for the entire party (dragon fights too)
any1 else that tells you it dons not work dont know a thing about this mechanic and how it works.
here is a video by demonmonger just to show you how good wr was before it was nerfed:

However, teamwise it's quite effective as a team-buff. It's also still a great straight-forward DPS encounter as it has a very short cooldown -- during the time you use 1 Lashing Blade you can use 3~4 WRs -- and the overall damage is similar, if not greater, but 3~4 times more chance to proc Action Rush if you're a scoundrel build -- hence fast AP gain.
If you know something to be broken, stop using it.
Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'
I've also given a lot of thought into it, since ironically WR was one of the first powers the TR had I decided to "study" and see if its viable for PvP despite its opinion being vastly unpopular when these forums used to be dominated by "If it ain't the typical semiperma, it's trash" crowd, long time ago.
For what it's worth, the 3 charges is one of the best changes that happened to TR encounters in the preview, and it makes it incredibly worth it if used well -- but unfortunately the overall reality of the TR is still much too lacking to view it as being 100% viable.
My first inspiration would be its obvious synergy with Scoundrel tree, Skullcracker feat. In case of PvE, if you land WR the Skullcracker daze guarantees a 4 consecutive WR hits in total -- 1 free WR from stealth → SC daze → WR(+0.5s daze) → WR(+0.5s daze) → WR(+0.5s daze) → 1 more attack (+0.5s daze). This has got a lot of potential.
Unfortunately, in PvP, again, the developers for some reason are extremely afraid of giving stuns to TRs, and hence, Skullcracker induces a daze, not a stun. The results in most cases are as I've already commented a billion time -- your target can just choose to walk in one direction, and all the rest of the attacks you will be struggling to land, because a dazed and bewildered opponent, can still move at full speed in this game.
If... if only the developers make either one of follwing changes:
(a) tweak daze, so every daze also inculdes an inherent slow effect
(b) change Skullcracker daze to a stun...
...then that's a green light for WR's real-time debut into the PvP world as something awesome.
If you know something to be broken, stop using it.

Wow - that was excellent analysis! I agree, too!

morenthar! New version in preview now. [EDIT: er, new version notes disclosed, not in preview yet!]
Skullcracker base daze 4 seconds, and provides 25% speed boost! I think this just might be enough for stealth WR - chase WR - chase WR - chase WR - chase WR...
Or something goofy like this:
encounters: Deft Strike, WR, SS.. at-will Duelist's Flurry, CoS
Deft Strike → enemy slowed by 80%(!!!!), Skullcacker procs, enemy slowed and dazed!! → stealth → stealth WR(free) → WR → WR → WR
Or, they say that DF is weak now.. but a full hit still does some damage.. so a very plain and simple..
Deft Strike → Skullcracker daze (4s), enemy slowed by 80% for 5 sec → DF1(+0.5s), DF2(+0.5s), DF3 (all flurries guaranteed hit)
If you know something to be broken, stop using it.

Well, that's an interesting setup: Deft, WR and Dazing... Has the potential for excellent single-target damage and the cone effect on dazing takes care of the rest of the mob, too. hmm...

Good PvE TR stacks WR well
Bad PvE TR tries to use direct attacks
WR is so good that stacking WR and forgoing pure damage skills is better for your DPS than damage bar.
Also imagine what you do for your team!
This skill is excellent. end story.
