I was reading all the updates, and didn't notice anything that could make me angry - untill I saw the mesmer skills.
GG A-net for another try to kill the Boon Prot monk, this must be like the 4th time. I wonder why? Are they overpowered - no.
I loved to play Boon Prot monk. But I guess A-net hates them.
So now I don't like A-net, those bastards.
Flame me if you want....

Or maybe the huge onset of healing skills being made available in NF, which validates the healer monk build once again in a GvG format. Anet is trying to give people a push in that direction.
For every build pushed down, another is made available. Your complaint is moot; the build isn't yours to keep, you're only renting it while the skills are as they are. Yes, the boonprot has become seriously less viable, but the job of restoring health remains, and the skills to do it remain.
Would you be less upset if a shift in the metagame had made boonprots worth less, rather than a change in the skills?
