Nightfall Skill Update #2

I hope Paragon is going to get an awesome dance.

This is going to be overspammed in AB and no one will use touch rangers there again.

Last time I checked, wastrel's worry only damages if the foe uses no skills during its duration.

Another way of reading the screwed up wastrel's demise description is that it's a version of wastrel's worry that deals extra damage depending on the amount of spells that they have and only disappears if a spell is cast. What I think they mixed up were wastrel's worry and backfire because:
This implies that demise hurts them when they can't decide what to do. Wastrel's worry won't create that indecision since casting any spell will save you from both hexes. On the other hand, a skill that
will cause a Catch-22 situation. Backfire fits that description perfectly.

On the other hand, demise could just be a souped up backfire just as other people said. Either way, it still looks like a boring skill.

theres a post below this with alll the new spells and no ele did not get shafted

I just hope "The power is yours" doesn't become a requirement skill, that without it people won't take you into groups. Kinda like now you either have to be SS or MM necro or people won't take you. I'd hate so see that happen to paragon.

Sig of suffering added into a sbspike? Seems like it would be hella fun to try at least.

well its not gonna happen to a paragon because "The power is yours" is a warrior skill but yeah i no what you mean it would be bad if it was a requirment for a war.

I get the feeling that their changing wastrels worry to if they use a spell and make wastrles demise to if they dont use a spell.

It's Michael Jackson's beat it. You can download the video of the dance off the official site.

You're right, I never played as a mesmer much, however I thought that Wastrels Worry ended prematurely and actually did damage, if you used a skill. I further thought that was accurate because, why would Anet mix up their own skills? Yet I went outside TOA where I knew I could get wastrels cast on me with ease, and it only did damage to me when I didn't use any skills during its duration.

I'm really going to have to wait and see the description of Wastrels Demise. The only time I ever really used Wastrels Worry was in a SB/RI build...

Apparently Anet had a tired employee writing the initial descriptions, heh...

maybe.


Id rather be using it for my SS ... now that dervishes are here, Ill finally be able to feel good about using soul barbs again...

soul barbs - for every hex or enchantment target takes xx dmg
spiteful spirit - if you dont know im not telling
parasitic bond- huzzah
throw in 2 or three more of your favorite hexes
cast Sig of Suffering

watch the dervish cry.

well of course there will be plenty of new gimmick builds popping up... but typically I dont care to group with people that DEPEND on others to make their own build work.

Itll be a nice addition, but if someone asks me to rework my warrior build to incorporate Power is Yours, ill probably tell them to do it themselves and quit bugging me.

(unless of course i like the skill/ have a use for it myself)

For example, my MM build is non standard... I dont feel its necessary to GIMP the MM by taking monk skills... and although I get hell for it in the Staging Area- by the time the darkness is taking 480 dmg in 2 seconds, the group thanks me.

Thank you god I can play my Mimic Mesmer so much more effectively now. Signet of Illusions ftw.
