Mystic Regen is not the problem, its the other enchantments the E/D or */D tanks use that creates a problem. Mystic Regen is really only a depent Healing Breeze, its Stoneflesh Aura, Armor of Earth, Aura of the Lich, etc. that make people QQ over Mystic Regen. Enchantment removal or counters to these particular enchantments is ftw.

As for Shadow Form, its hardly a broken ability. Skills, shouts, AoE, and non targettable effects still go thru it and the assassin is in a very weak state after it ends. This skill may have been abusable when Deadly Paradox(a skill that actually needed a nerf) was not nerfed, but now its nothing to cry about.

Skills are just Skills, because people use a Skill for annoyance epurposes does not eman it should be broken.

ABing during the double faction weekend, I saw my fair share of them. To me those builds make you waste time on them, because they can cap a shrine eventually on their own with their offense, they are a threat and hard to ignore. If you are not prepared, you will waste 20-30s killing them, which is bad.

After encountering a few of them, I brought Rend Enchantments. Even by myself I would often kill them before they could get enough enchants back up, or they would run because they were unexperienced players using a build they found on a site. If I had my team with me, they were dead in seconds after being Rended.

With that, I agree Mystic Regen should be moved to Mysticism, heck, the name even fits nicely with the attribute. It's been due for a long time, the skill is being abused.

The only thing worthy of touching on Mystic Regeneration is the recharge time. Realistically you want to interrupt, knockdown, or remove Stoneflesh Aura or Dark Bond on the 'hard to kill' templates, both of which have two second cast times with long recharges. I don't know what character you could bring that wouldn't be better off with an interrupt, a knockdown, or an enchant strip if it didn't already have one besides a pure Monk or equivalent.

I agree, instead of going through all this other complicated talk and nerfs etc, just place it in mysticism, simple.

During the AB Weekend, I saw way too many E/D Fire Eles running around with the same skill bar:
[skill]Rodgort's Invocation[/skill][skill]Meteor[/skill][skill]Meteor Shower[/skill][skill]Fire Storm[/skill][skill]Fire Attunement[/skill][skill]Elemental Attunement[/skill][skill]Flame Djinn's Haste[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill]
It was ridiculous. Like at least 4-5 on each side. There is something wrong when 1/3 of the players run the same build in AB. Seriously Anet, move it Mysticism.
Also, the N/D InvinciMM's were a problem too with this:
[skill]Aura of the Lich[/skill][skill]dark bond[/skill][skill]infuse condition[/skill][skill]mystic regeneration[/skill]
Although I must admit, the symbiotic relationship that the player takes with it's minions is quite astounding and really smart, but it is nevertheless overpowered.

In the case of earth tanks, ignore them until last, they're pretty harmless, then disrupt stoneflesh aura and finish them.
SoR eles.

Though, the armor bonus, blurred vision, snares, and mending touch have a pretty big part in that too.

Mystic Regen eles aren't that big of deal though. They're easy enough to kill if you have any enchant strips, kds, or interrupts for the stoneflesh aura.. If any of these retarded RA tanks should be nerfed, it's the arcane echo + shadow form sins who really don't have many reasonable counters. And honestly, those are most annoying when they're on your team and you can't leave after you've lost because of dishonor being such a dumb system. You have to watch them tank for 6 minutes and usually fail to kill anything. They can't really deal a whole lot of damage and still be able to maintain their shadow form, and they usually don't have a lot of slots to work with offensively either. But it really does an excellent job of dragging the match out way longer than it should be.

It shouldn't be to hard to take down an E/D especially if a Mesmer is in the group.Healing Breeze was just buffed which makes it better than before so other farming builds are still good not just the Mo/D it is just overrated atm.I still use /W and /Mes and now/E.

Changing the recharge time would be okay, but I would not change the cast time. In PvE Dervish's are supposed to be dealing damage, you sort of negate that by giving long cast times on support skills.

(I'm not saying you said to change the cast, but I wanted to point that out.)

Dervish shouldn't bring Mystic Regen anyway. I don't see the point of that skill other from farming. You said it yourself, you should deal damage, and leave healing to monks (or take Natural Healing)

Mystic Regeneration is not so much overpowered as it is annoying, there is only one build I can think of where this skill is overpowered and that is Aura of the Lich + Infuse condition + Mystic regeneration build, in all other build this skill is more of annoyance that an actual problem.

Mystic regen is not OP. The problem is other Regen skills are UP, so mystic looks over the top in comparison.

If anything, the other regen skills should be buffed to meet mystic's standard.

as I stated MONTHS ago..if MR is nerfed, all hex/degen needs to be nerfed.
and no, it doesn't even need be moved to mysticism. it is to useful(farming)to just kill it.

I can't believe that after all this time SOME(the thread Nec)people still think that 'OMGAWD MR is leik makin themm inVincibaal'

learn to shatter/strip enchantments, inflict conditions and hand out degen. that is where it's at.

Banishing strike FTW. Minions go buh bye MM is left with no DB and paper armor. Quick kill move on to the next target. I run a Banishing strike build in AB a lot just to kill MM's with a quickness.

I dont see MR is OP at all. Been AB quite a lot and never seen No/D or E/D can easily defeat enemy. Not sure about other types of PvP though

People who you can't kill only matter if they can also kill you while staying invincible. Fortunately, you can completely ignore most Mystic Regen tanks and it will never matter that they're not dead.

Are these earth tanks even used in high end pvp? I doubt it, derv secondary means no utility after all. I usually see them in AB, but I wouldn' t call it imba there. poor eles will get sliced up by all the lolsins running around that place without some decent self heal (It also works on non-tanking eles). In TA knowledgable people don' t even use eles so much, they usually don' t fit in teh builds there. Do they use obsi tanks to farm guild lords or something? hard to believe :P.

If eles piss you off in AB you need interrupts or enchant hate, and you will need those anyway so it's not the case that eles FORCE you to spec against them.

lol my rebuttal to this.

sure it has mystic in it's name, but why, then, does it make that crumbling earth sound when activated. I mean come on, it clearly was meant to be an earth prayer because of that. ;-p

Put a max on the number of enchantments it adds regen for. To make it really interesting, make that max scale with Mysticism.

0 Mysticism gives 3 enchantments for MR to supply regen on.
6 Mysticism gives 5 enchantments for MR to supply regen on.
12 Mysticism gives 6 enchantments for MR to suppy regen on.
16 Mysticism gives 9 enchantments for MR to supply regen on.

This would allow secondary classes to get +9 regen max (at 8 Earth Prayers), and allow primary Dervishes to get +36 (at 16 Mysticism and 13 Earth Prayers).
