A little bit of excitement to see what changes I'll make to my regular builds. I wonder a bit about LoD, but its nice to be able to realistically consider other heal elites. Its nice too to see some balanced balancing as well - buffs with some tweaks and a few nerfs. Too often I look at these and its primarily nerfs with a few buffs to things no one uses or would consider using still even after a buff. Interesting update, this one.

Great...so now Mhenlo in GW:EN is completely useless. I don't mind the rest of the changes but please think of the PvE henchmen when you make these changes. Some of them use these skills...

Overall, I like the changes to monk skills... However I think the nerf to Healer's Boon and LoD were mistakes.

well at least glimmer of light is now one second recharge..

Ouch for LoD. Time to come up with a new monk hero build. On the issue whether it's still worthy of elite status, I'll say that it is. It's just no longer a valedictorian, but still reasonably close to the top of the class.

i'd barely call the HB change a nerf... being able to use it with 4 pips seems like quite the buff to me.

Sundering Weapon is still rubbish.
LoD's nerf is too harsh, I think.
WoH bosses just got a little bit more annoying.

Healer's Boon change is a buff. Its counter, which could not be reset by recast, was a very stupid limitation. On top of that giving -1 energy regen while using up my elite spot with no elite energy management to sustain the build. Non elite energy management would not be enough to sustain the build either.
Since its no longer a maintained enchantment I'd like to see the recharge.

Can't wait to start abusing HB 
Or mimicry LoD and then HB LoD...might be useful again after that nerf.

The fact that spiritway/thumpers still didn't get nerfed sucks a bit (imo) because so many people just play heroes ascent by playing a thumper and nothing else, without that a bit of variety might get going. I know people who are just getting into HA like playing thumper because they can easily play it and get into groups but fire ele is also easy to play and it would be good to see more balanced teams back in HA.

I'd say things more like Insideous Parasite, and other anti-melee things need to get hit. It seems like today, playing with a warrior is pointless, as everything now blocks or hurts you everytime you swing your weapon.
As for Shadow Prison, I would LOVE to revert Shadow Prison back to the original state of which it was, just make Tiger stance go to 2 seconds again, but increase the duration of the skill with higher strength. Same goes for Burst of Aggression. No one uses it, because it's lame, so why is it in there? It should give a bonus for taking away adrenaline, such as for every adrenaline skill that was full, you get say, +2 energy?
Spell casting assassins...not much I can say to that, other than increase the cooldown of the skill, and increase the damage to make up for it. It would stop the 'DD' spam which is the main source of damage for the builds.
Blocking and melee bashing skills, need to be nerfed. I can't hit a ranger worth crap, because they 'block' everything. And while I'm at it, their necro throws on Insideous, SS, and empathy. Terrific. I mean, I don't mind the combo, it's great, but being able to repeatedly stack those on me non-stop, isn't so great.
I'd say reduce the blocking skills from 75% to 66% for starters, and give warriors more skills that are unblockable. Strength skills, or tactical. After all, Dervishes are supposed to be the 'agile' ones, not rangers.

They really should have done something to GoLE. That's what's making all the passive defense work. If the number of spells affected was tied to e-storage, making it useless on a monk, it would have made PvP alot more interesting.
The SP sins also needs to be adjusted, especially since lod got changed, atleast regarding gvg, you might have to run party heals on the flagger again, since there is gonna be more active splitting now.

when are these updates going to be in effect?
I just tried casting WoH on myself, nothing happened >.<
well, is WoH going to be the new monk elite of choice again? *sigh*

A 2 second cast makes LoD worthless. I'm not going to bother arguing which heals are better in the wake of this because I don't care. My healer heroes will have to be reconfigured. No biggie. The one I feel sorry for is EOTN Mhenlo. LoD was the main reason I used to take him, and now I'm going to have to think twice about that. I would hope anet would tweak his build to compensate, but I know better than to expect that sort of thing from them.
Is the change to oppressive gaze a nerf or a buff? I kinda prefered the old version I think.
The nerf to splinter-barrage isn't REALLY that big a deal. To be honest, splinter barrage is overrated. It is not so good that my ranger runs it to the exclusion of other builds, and the nerf is a rather reasonable one. After all, splinter barrage will still WORK, it just won't be quite as potent as before on clumps of >3 enemies. No biggie. This is the kind of nerf I'd like to see more of if we have to have nerfs.
Hello? Paragons? Are they still a part of GW?

Grammar
Nerf LoD's healing power by 10hp = good and correct decision
Nerf LoD's cast time to 2 seconds = idiotic decision resulting from a bafflingly unacceptable level of incompetence
If they wanted to nerf LoD beyond -10hp, take it down to -20hp. But the 2 second cast time is inexcusable.

Dang, I sometimes use Oppressive Gaze on my Necro, and that modification to the skill is really going to hurt that build that I made up.. back to the drawing board.
The only other skill modification that had me worried for a second was the Splinter Weapon, but then I remembered that I only use it on my Ranger along with Barrage, so it is as if nothing happened, right?... RIGHT???

Ya if this will happen. Say Good Bye to HB Monks they just got destroyed. duration on it, but has unlimited casts but comeon HB was nice addition to heros and now with Duration. Nope not liking that.
øln
I would guess the reason for changing HB to duration, is to make it unusable by non-monk primaries.
It's better for monks now tbh.

The splinter weapon 'nerf' isn't going to hurt too much..just take another 2-3 seconds longer to kill the mobs...no biggie..

Splits are not always tactical. Tactics is knowing when to split and knowing how to split, and if stand teams are how you can capitalize on what you do best.
LoD is imba because it's free, right?

My thoughts on the MONK changes (since I primarily play a monk):
Healer's Boon: this is a MAJOR BENEFIT to primary monks (who can remember to keep it up), especially heroes (who never forget to keep it up)
Healing Breeze: I "might" add this to my hero monk (with the change to Healer's Boon) but REGEN healing skills have always been bad overall because of enchantment removal
Heal Party: More health is always a good thing
LoD: Should be interesting to see the ramifications of this. Perhaps a Mesmer LoD monk? There's no longer a conditional requirement so that's definitely a plus for it.
Restful Breeze: the ultimate healing skill for those who heal outside battle (IE: runners)
Word of Healing: WOW! You can target yourself now. I may be switching my monk healing build back to Word of Healing

HB monks didn't get destroyed, maybe heroes did using that skill but not HB monks themselves, it got a nice boost. If the recharge is under 55 seconds, you'll get it every 55 seconds for 5 energy..dont see how that's bad at all.
