I'd like to see a whole lot of skills get adjusted. All those skills that no one ever uses because there is either a better alternative or just flat out suck - bring these skills up to par. And all those skills that get used entirely too often, there is a reason for this. And all the old skills that simply became obsolete because of new skills (crip shot vs. grenth's grasp). And while on the subject I'd like to see it made worthwhile for rangers to start wielding bows again. Some hex removal buffs would be nice too. And I don't want to see anything nerfed into the ground either. I'm really getting frustrated with pvp in this game. In RA all too often it's 'skills' over 'skill' and in a game that's supposed to be balanced it just shouldn't be this way, in even the dirge of pvp.

Seriously, I don't think they've said when an update will be, but I would imagine there will be one before the next season of GvG starts.

Avatar of Grenth, Sandstorm, Feigned Neutrality, along with Spiritual Pain and Fear Me(or steady stance) are all on my "hit-list"
Solar Light
sandstorm is in a better balanced state compared to SF, its not spammable
Thorondor Port
SF wont be nerfed.
spiritual pain though.....i thinkin it could be a bit.

Thorondor SF will be nerfed I'll bet my account on that. Oh and I'm betting they're gonna nerf Mystic Regen too >.>

We should use Heroes while they last. Apparently, they deal a high % more damage than human players.

That's a myth, and no one has confirmed it. Don't believe what wiki tells you :\

I'm not arguing, I think it'll happen too.
I have a feeling that assassin's promise may be changed to work on non-spell skills only. It has not left my skill bar since day one of NF PVE and for good reason.

well...SF is definently being nerfed. Have you seen Gaile last chat log?

I would love to see a lot of buffs to the rarely used skills instead of more nerfs to the popular skills, but I think most know what will happen.

I'm pretty sure dervishes might be nerfed. They are huge tanks in AB's, really good unstoppable forces. I saw one guy with balthazar running around cutting up everyone.
Us luxon still won, but he was a tough dude. Avoided him as much as possible.

SF will probably see more of a recharge time maybe small damage adjustment. Why Mystic Regeneration?? Its one of the few dervish heal skills. And it is an enchant so it can be removed. That alone should be the reason it should never see a nerf.
EDIT - And if you set them up right dervish can be great tanks. But thats why they have the 60 armor req to compensate.

Blinding Surge, Avatar of Grenth, Shadow of Haste, and Spiritual Pain, imo. SF and RaO might take small hits to tweak them slightly.
If you leave skills that are above the balance standard alone, and raise more skills to higher power levels, you then raise the bar of 'balanced' skills. Then when it comes around again, you do the same thing, and the average power of skills increases as more are added. This is called power creep.

the return of Ritual Lord!
AN is probably going to ajust it and rename it to Seared Flamers....
Target spammer and all nearby are struck with Seared Flamers. Any who are spamming when this skill is cast are struck for 7k...9k of stupid damage. Any who are not already spaming begin Spaming W.T.S for 1...6 hours.
or maybe a better function of "Sight Beyond Sight".... why blind a ritualist?0.o

ooooooo thanks for the idea Avarre now I can change my secondary and actually use it! YAY! Oh and feathermoore, reason I think they will nerf Mystic Regen is because it nerfs degen, and ANet has a thing for degen.. Above that is the fact that it is easily reapplied, and it is used in well every derv build.. Also Dervs has 70 armor... Why do people seem to think that if it doesn't have zomg tankzors wammo armor.. that it has caster armor?
Seef- could he have possibly hit you with a critical hit? and had a high level of strength? adding to his damage a lil bit? also what class got hit by him?

Plus they added Vocal was Sogolon into restoration.

hence why every class has at least one or two new enchantment rending skills in NF, except for warriors perhaps... not sure..

Dervish can hardly tank anything anymore, except when wearing the forms for 40ish seconds. Note that a smart Dervish will save those Forms for intense combat, which is probably when you'd see it, in the fray.
There's also the posibility that they may have had a monk for backup with dmg reduction spells, or that kills might have been assists.
Now if this guy was running around solo, killing 2-3 people by himself, and suriving against heavy spike assassins and melee-shutdown Mes.
Then only one thing to say. I want their build.

I think monks, mesmers and paragons are the only hex removers. Is that true?
Kijik Oni Hanryuu
smite monks can get rid of enchants, and I know mezzies can, umm paragons yeah they may not be able to rend enchants. umm, I think yer pretty much right on about the hex removal list tho >.< we need more hex removal in this game.
