skill nerf already?

FoTM? What is that?

Why the Mesmer hate?

Their inspiration line was hit hard with the [skill=text]Inspired Hex[/skill]and [skill=text]Energy Drain[/skill] nerfs.

I think Inspiration should be linked to Fast Casting. As of now, Mesmers are a commonly used 2nd profession for Energy Management and I think they shouldn't be affected.

In other words think [skill=text]Lion's Comfort[/skill].

And interruption is something restricted to Mesmers and Rangers. And you basically need to be a Mesmer/Ranger Primary to be a complete shutdown.

Flavor of The Month.

Sorry about the last post but i was low on sugar and brain was not functioning properly, doh! I dont think deverish are that much of a powerhouse I do think stoneflesh could use a nerf ugh, thats about the only ele power that seems to be overbuffed, the rest, eh.

Why do alot of people say that stoneflesh is over powered man lol it is a enchantment just strip it story done no prob with the skill just people dont know how to get around it except for the dyeing nightmares that is in UW

regarrding deadly haste you do realize that bug was fixed today right

You can't degen faster than 10 pips... its when you canceled out 10 of the the 14 total degen you had from hexes/conditions, the left over is 4, and thats still in effect. It's just capped to actually degen at 10 MAX at a time, there can be more to counter before you actually start to REGEN positively. Thats always been the same.

Skill Updates: Coming soon to a testing weekend near you. That means January 19 - 21, you can try them out, give us your feedback, and we'll roll in the final, permanent changes a week or two later.

Such things as cover enchants. You can't choose which enchant to strip.

Spiritual Pain single handedly got rid of all ritualist in gvg period.

Egh, any chance we could keep the beta changes till they are final? The current metagame is really boring and going back to it for 2 weeks after trying the beta changes is just gonna suck. :P

Actually, the nerfs to Ritualist spirits got rid of Ritualists in GvG.

DEFINATLY nerf stoneflesh aura....it wasnt intended to have a more powerful version of turtle shell for humans...heres my idea on its *new* stats, to make it more stone-like

For 5...17 seconds, damage you receive is reduced by 1...25 and you are immune to critical attacks. If you have any other enchantments on you, or cast a spell, or attack, Stoneflesh Aura ends.

the whole black spider sin combo is a bit powerful...but thats how sins are supposed to be, my only suggestion would be to up the recharge on black spider strike, and make twisting fangs not inflict deep wound if target foe is hexed...yes, this might nerf it a lot....but im sure all the cookie cutters out there might be able to survive.

Searing Flames, well...make it cost 25 energy, but have a 1 second cast. It would still be viable with glyph of lesser energy, but it wouldnt be such an overpowering skill that people who I doubt could play any other class effectivly can kill with it (as proved a couple times today in ABs where I would cast tentais heat and searing heat on a SF nuker and they would stand in them, thus dieing...its not like those spells are hard to see...)

Wow, Shard, I think you've outdone yourself at QQing about skills. It's clearly good. Making it normal attack speed would make it pretty bad. Reduce damage slightly, if anything.

3s recharge, gogo.

Oh, please. 20 health per second isn't game breaking... and the derv has to maintain 3-4 enchants to get 10 regen. He can still be spiked, outdamaged, dazed, diverted, shattered, etc, etc.

Dervish healer owned your ass in RA?

R/W being better than a hammer warrior isn't good... kinda like when Me/E were better than primary eles. Nerf plx.

Remove aoe.

Remove from the game. No, really. This needs a giant nerf. Like, taking damage when removing enchantment. Or "you lose an enchantment, if you do, remove an enchantment from target foe". Yeah, I know that would gimp it into unplayability, but tbh I'm sick of this skill and I'd rather see it sit next to ether renewal and energizing finale.

I think it's fine.

Been fixed already.

Make it not trigger on self-induced knockdowns, or double duration and recharge, or remove "fear me" from the game.

I think eles getting a couple good aoe spells isn't the end of the world. Maybe a slight nerf.

This skill is dumb. It's not breaking the game, but it's just dumb. I'm guessing the developers meant to make it elite, but then got stoned (haha, pun) and swapped the files with stone sheath.

Rofl. <3 Shard.

Blight got gimped. RA monks need a good elite. Don't nerf plx.

Yeah, I get it. You don't like dervishes.

It's fine. I don't see how 1/2 of a RoF + mend ailment + a bit of damage is broken. If this skill is nerfed, the whole restoration line goes back to being garbage.

That dervish healer that owned you in RA used this too? Zomg blasphemy.

Cap at 5 degen plx. Also lower the duration to 25s (20 at most).

Yeah, this needs a giant nerf. Me single-handedly owning a team that balled up with spirits on the ramp on broken tower = roffle. (Glyph of lesser energy, walk up, spiritual pain, spiritual pain, spiritual pain, spiritual pain, spiritual pain, spiritual pain) I think 3 people died. Eat that DPS, Searing Flames!



Also, where's spoil victor? Your list sux, Shard.

Yes, I meant that ¬.¬

Noooooo not stoneflesh...my precious.....

funny. another user thinks mystic regen should become another mending. so i ask them why they didnt post that instead and it gets deleted. censorship ftw eh?

both drunken and desperating blow need a fix. lets say your blinded, do a drunken blow, it would miss - you still get KDed. therefore, steady stance will still supply you with adrenaline, even while blinded, so you just spam fear me until the monk or the blinder runs out of energy.

please, make the KD only trigger if the attack actually HITS. :<

then theres lots of other crap nerfs in this thread, humm..made me giggle. funny how only one person shortly before me mention spoil victor as well. >.>

and beside that, deadly paradox + feigned. geez. >.> everyone and their mother uses it. :| it can be found on primary assasins, most caster/a, even r/a. :| while your at it, shadow of haste as well plx. <3

(<3 for fixing deadly haste btw)

rest has been said i guess (not counting some really useless nerfs like zb, derv attack skills, that psious elite roflmao :<, awful assa nerfs, etc). except, a few buffs would be nice as well. ;o

and please keep the skillchanges after the update, it will be a pain to have lameness back after the weekend. dont make us wait!

[skill]Feigned Neutrality[/skill], imo.

Recharge/duration is fine, but maybe nerf armor down to 40 or 60, and regen down to 5ish.

NERF MESMERS AND CRITICAL CHOP?! NOOOOOO!!

mytic regeneration needs a to be moved to mysticsm. a monk with mending at (i think) 12 or 13 healing will have +4 health regen and with mystic regen at 8 earth prayers those 2 skills alone give you a constant +10 regen.

for the love of all guild wars dont nerf mesmers. they are good as they are and they are too underused to cause a real problem.

nerf critical chop and steady stance? NO! warriors are damn easy to counter as it is and now with furious axe+critical chop they can get some decent spike damage easily. in fact, most builds made in pvp are anti-melee (keyword: most, not all).

spirits strength doesnt need a nerf considering rits have 60 al armor and poor blocking, evading, snaring or a speed boost.
