And you people say they don't listen.

The spirit fix for SR is interesting, any chance we could ease off the energy/time restrictions with that in place?

BLACK LOTUS

YOU JUST GOT OWNED!!!

nice move izzy, nice move indeed..

Horns of the ox nerf = wtf
Izzy you SAY you want to bring AoD sins back to life.
BUT HORNS WAS A STAPLE FOR IT
>.> I can't defend you now izzy....you just pulled off some contradictory BS, Jesus couldn't comprehend.

Sin way nerfs, but not 1 buff >.> Jesus ....don't even tell me there aren't sin skills that could need a desperate buff
Wastrels collapse.

Soul reaping nerf
A-net just listened to you, pvp praise and now stop whining >.>

Word of healing nerf means

Its not just as viable as LoD (since people were saying it would throw LoD away)
having them at the same standard means
You'll see variety in monk elites.

Glad they listened on Mhenlo.

Assassins got it pretty good. Ouch I don't understand why pets no longer leave corpses. Now that SR is not triggered by spirits can we get rid of the counter?

Assassin's have been owned. Barrage is still shit compared to pre nerf splinter.

And I'm afraid players might have to do something else, considering that the majority of corpses an MM gets is from pets in Tombs.

He was on his assassin, for about 5 minutes before this nerf. If that says anything.

Player Pets: no longer leave exploitable corpses.

Aye, WTF. I was myself wondering why your skill bar gets disabled for some odd seconds after the pet dies, but this is just funny.

At this moment I am in Tombs spreading the word.. hearing the cries of frustration.
