Well, if this is true, there goes another build that rangers used to get into elite missions (splinter weapon). Please, oh PLEASE, let GW2 PvE skills and PvP skills be balanced separately, I'm fed up of good, perfectly balanced PvE builds being nerfed for PvPs flavor of the month. Rangers havn't even been given a buff on something as recompense. Way to go...

I was using Conjure Nightmare as my mesmer's energy management, so that decrease would actually hurt more than do good.

Nerfing LoD is a VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD IDEA, because Izzy has done nothing to answer to overpowered offence which LoD was used to counter.

hmmm.. a couple canges that I think they did very well-
-Conjure Nightmare 15 enrgy, I might use this now over illusion of pain
-Word of Healing can now target casters, I like

I'm surprised though...no buffs on Elite Rit Channeling skills?

WoH is still VERY sub bar to ZB. Still not worth using.

All right, I'm not even sure if I want to keep this thread open. Considering the changes were taken down so this is all a MAYBE. Please try to remain calm and do not work yourself into a frenzy until the skill changes are posted and stay up. Otherwise, I will be closing this thread.
