Ok, so I went in to do Temple of the Damned after this update, wondering if maybe Murakai would be more interesting/harder with a weapon. For anyone who has yet to fight Murakai, it used to go like this:
1) Murakai tries to cast Murakai's Consumption.
2) I distracting-shot it.
3) Hero/hench/other players: KILL KILL KILL Me: Keep in range while she kites/summons and keep Read the Wind up.
4) Repeat 1
Now it's more like this:
1) Murakai tries to cast Murakai's Consumption.
2) I distracting-shot it.
3) Hero/hench/other players: KILL KILL KILL Me: KILL since she doesn't move at all and I don't care how slow my arrow is, flight time over 1 foot isn't going to be much.
4) Repeat 1
Fail. At least before, she used to provide some sort of challenge, what with the rocks as obstacles and such.
Murakai Buff? No.

Yes, I came here to post a similar comment on how Murakai was massively nerfed. She's no longer even an interesting challenge. Please make her kite again.
MithranArkanere
She is always easy once you know her drill.
Even when she kited, I just needed a pet to keep her in a spot.

Eh, the update didnt say she was buffed, it said they fixed a glitch where Murakai didnt equip a weapon.
Senrath
Wow. I thought this update was going to be a sort of a nerf for the players trying to kill Murakai, not a nerf to Murakai herself. Fix please, anet!
Kaida the Heartless
I always had her pinned with pets. This update didn't do anything for me :P
Retribution X
*whew*
I was freaked that her attacks were going to do 100+ damage per hit.
I'm happy now.

Eh, let me farm the heck out of her, before they fix.

Farming a poor, defenseless old lady of the night? What are you, her pimp? You ought to be ashamed!

Like it was hard before..getting to her takes the most time.

I'm not saying it was hard before, but now, it's a "zzzzzzzzzz"-fest. The end boss of a dungeon should do more than stand in one spot and try to wand you.

No not hard, but still, she's still easier. I don't mind the walk either, I'll do it until I get her axe.

I got her maul, but the axe is what I really want.

In an unrelated note, I got the Reaver on my first run through under the new changes... and no, I'm not crying, I'm saying that it was more interesting before, and also, lots of regular caster mobs move around when you attack them. Maybe there's (gasp) ANOTHER bug involving Murakai?
Stolen Souls
Back when I took her on it was definitely an interesting fight. I had no idea what to expect (haden't checked Wiki or anything), and needless to say I was a bit stunned when my entire party was insta-wiped. (I got the item I was after, btw...the sword, w00t!)
If they did bug her, or nerf her, I think they should change her back to the way she was, asap.

Huh? She's now even easier? (was it even possible for her to get easier? 
)
Ahh, no matter ^_^ Already got the Reaver first run, flogged it to some random wammo for a stupid amount of money. Well, idiots will buy their godly sundering crap...

Correction: [skill]Distracting Shot[/skill] and [skill]Savage Shot[/skill] > Guild Wars. Anyway, I'd like to know what the change to the other boss and his Damned whatevers that didn't have a weapon before did. Do they all just stand there like gibbering idiots and not move?
Chthon
Murakai was never a challenge.

lol even banishing strike > murakai. I had nothing to interrupt her damaging skill, but she only cast it twice so...
I like the old behavior:
Murakai: "HAHAHA I SUMMONED 4... no wait 3...2...ok ruuuuuuun"
if she doesn't move it's even easier. make her kite again, it was fun.

It is game mechanic what has been long time in Guild Wars.
When AI not have weapon equipped, it always kite when you try to hit AI controlled NPC, henchman or hero.
Now, what made boss interesting, was actually mistake and they "fixed" it, but didn't knew that people expected that Murakai worked as intended previously.

Magrid as CG ranger w/ Practiced Stance >>> Murakai. I even brought Gwen as a Dom interrupter and Pyre w/ a few interrupts.
gg Murakai
qq me for not getting anything but some lousy gold staff.

Awww... first time we ran into her she was fun. We had no idea what to expect and she gave us a bit of a rough time before we figured out her skills. Today, she might as well have been just dead instead of undead. Poor thing.
Casual
This won't make much of a difference, it was easy as pie to bodyblock her against the wall, even solo with H/H.
Guess they made her "slighty" harder since we'll have to worry about the wanding damage now.

Shards of Orr was the dungeon I think. The boss spawned 6-10 archers that previously just ran *really really* far away when you tried to kill them (didn't have bows). Was a piece of cake because you could just ignore them and kill the boss. Now surviving while you're trying to kill the boss is probably alot harder.
