Expose costs too much, especially for the short duration it lasts. 11 seconds at 12? You can hardly pull off anything due to the energy drain of the spell, let alone, now that spiking builds have been destroyed, you can hardly pull off anything damage worthy to the opponent within the time limit. You use expose at a distance, you use up 2-3 seconds getting to them, then you pull off your slow chain, and they heal all the damage. GG. No, these aren't the only skills I use, but I used Black Lotus Strike to begin a Death Blossom/Moebius Strike/Horns of the Ox build. Now I have to throw in an off-hand in there somewhere. If it was changed to a lead attack, at least keep the energy gain the same. You give assassin's such crappy skills, there's hardly anything to choose from Izzy! Same goes with Paragons! Why are there all these updates nerfing the other skills, but nothing buffing the Paragons. They need BUFFS not nerfs, as they have nothing. Do you notice that only 1/236 players are Paragons? Because you gave them the worst and least helpful skills in the game. Focus on them, rather than screwing up everyone else's game play. Okay, I typed out my rage, I'm going to rethink some assassin builds, and work on my Paragon who deserves better, Izzy. |
Too many lead attacks?
Yet so many of them are crap?
Why do you think L-O-D chain is sneered at?
Expose.. your kinda right, it lasts to long, Izzy that was not a smart move, I will ask you kindly to re-evaluate that so that it lasts a bit longer. Gaile....pass the message =P.
Now...Horns of the ox.
WTF ...Ill give a reason for the red engine to sound!!! but I'm to sad right now... im going on anti-depressants...this crap is enough to turn you emo.
Paragons get nerfed so much because a-net did something VERY,VERY STUPID.
I think most will agree, its not that everything A-net does is stupid, but this is why paragons get nerfed.
When a-net introduced Nightfall, they broke the power dam, that was holding all that water >.>.
Nightfall skills were all strong (except wastrels collapse...wtf is that crap? MIRITE?)
They were so strong in fact, they have to be constantly nerfed. Unlike factions where only a few were pretty strong and then many were weak.
This led to the Shadow of Haste Buff, which make pvp CRY >.. and then the nerf, which made pve and pvp wonder....why not just revert it.
Blame a-net for not starting Nightfall weak, if they did that. They'd have much happier players.
Because seeing Buffs makes people go
I suggest we now use Horns of the ox as the new symbol of how NOT to balance a skill.
It was not balance...it was just a straight out nerf.

seriously.
There is absolutely no reason pets should no longer leave corpses, abuse in PvP? LOL riiiiiight, and im santa clause.
More assasin nerfs? whats new, they should just start taking back out classes...
Ineptitude recharge 20 seconds again, lol... Back and forth, seriously, who is this being balanced for? not pvp, thats for sure. PvE? lol. good one.
the soul reaping nerf, isnt this what the whole community ORIGINALLY suggested, like a YEAR ago?!?!? with this change, there should be a slight lift on its current cap.
And the heal elite skill changed for Mhenlo in EOTN, LOL!!! hysterical, in otherwords, they themselves admit that LoD is not worth the time anymore... moronic.
heh, im glad this isnt my main game anymore, this has become only a once a week dissappointment. Hellgate in all its buggy glory holds more interest for me these days...
cheers.

Expose...its not really a concern of mine.
Trampling - Dont have eotn.
Moriz...which did you prefer?
The old AoD sin (also known as hot stepper) with no IAS, or SP sins?
Know what AoD sin's used quite a bit?
Horns of the ox.
You may feel the assassin must die.
But if any sense of Pre-nightfall is to return >.> Horn's needs a res signet now.

Because skill balance actually matters in PvP.
Oh look the oldest argument in the book, that anyone with a clue knows doesn't even merit discussing.

@people who whine about Tombs B/P build getting nerfed: Less QQ more pew pew. Make new builds, or...oh wait - go balanced? Yeah, I know it is unthinkable. Besides, MM necromancer = fail. Necro can do so much more, why waste his potential on babysitting bunch of moving corpses?
Soul Reaping not getting energy from spirits - good. N/Rt > kktnxbaibai
Ineptitude nerf - whatever, learn to weapon switch.
EW - good.
WoH nerf - uh...yeah, why not. It's not like it isn't viable anymoar.
Assassin nerf - good. I hate 'em
Magebane Shot - holy hell. This pwns. And to people who compare it to Distracting - IT'S NOT THE SAME! Distracting disables SKILL, Magebane disables SPELL. And Magebane can't be blocked, which is important in PvP (in PvE you hardly need interupts anyway)
Barrage - nice, but I don't use that skill, neither does anyone in PvP, so can't say I care.
Wow, umm...well maybe you should use your pet for for like....attacking? Not for fueling the MM? If you want corpses, make some, don't use your pet.

The top guilds/players in PvP more likely spend their time overcoming any builds that give them problems instead of whining for a nerf. Unfortunately I think there probably aren't as many in that category, causing fewer counters to trickle down into the PvP masses.

The b/p's kill the stuff. MM makes minions out of the foes and pets' bodies; minion wall prevents stuff from aggroing the team, orders buff the dmg. and the monk heals everything without too much difficulty... unless your team sucks (which happens often, mind you).
It's not ESSENTIAL to have pets, but it really helps; even with the 3-times-in-15-seconds SR for the necros, helps with e. managament - at least they haven't nerfed that (yet?) - and with the MM, who gets bodies "faster" depending on when pets die.
Is that build bad by itself? No. It's not an exploit either. Does it make US bad? No. Doesn't make us leet or whatever, it's just another farming build.
To me, the fact pets doesn't leave exploitable corpse doesn't make any sense. We're not talking about a minion here, or a spirit, or a mechanical foe. We're talking about a creature, much like your regular foe or human.

Ok so assassins were killed.. again.
RIP ToPK.
Now that they addressed the INITIAL SR problem, can we see about reverting the original attempt to fix it?

Last I heard, pet corpses were used for Mallyx and for Tombs. Tombs can be beat by a balanced group, but heaven forbid that ever happens. Mallyx got his nerf, but I wouldn't know, I don't really care about wastes of time.
Necros lost energy machines, oh noes, they might actually have to use SoLS.
And for whenever you are in a place with no corpses, run something else than MM.
Not like a Ranger brought one with a serious BM bar and was hoping, "I hope that my pet dies so I can leave a corpse for the nice Necro."

Update: Removed all PvP elements from the game.
Changes: Reverted all unnecessary skill "enhancements" made over the last two years.
Additions: Granted 500k to all accounts with <100k in storage as compensation.
This is the ONLY new build GW needs.
I post in jest... the update isn't that bad guys. Sheesh. Every time one of these things rolls around, you people think Anet's just committed hara-kiri with our beloved game.

Ok the only thing i really dont understand is the pet nerf, its made out of flesh and blood, means exploitable and just food for the b/p teams down at the tombs, no matter the only enemies over there that dont have a corpse are the banished dream riders, everything else is still MM food, just a little less.
My sin got lucky, no nerf for me and because im generally pve with her it'll probably stay the way it is now.
No more soul reaping from spirits, i couldnt give a damn, now just take that timer off and rock on.
WoH was a bit overpowered, but still good, and the fact that menhlo has it now in eye of the nerf made it just a little better.
All in all it isnt that bad for me, and with soul reaping i will hardly notice a difference, got way to much energy to start with so im good.

Who cares about EW getting hit badly?
Unless you're a farmer trapping, or a Spiritway scrub, you seriously don't care.
WoH was too powerful
Necros have enough energy as it is. You have Signet of Lost Souls ffs. That should be on 90% of necros bars. QQ moar
Who the hell cares about the fact that the pets no longer leave exploitable corpses. Except the shit N/R minion master builds, this doesn't affect pve.
GG Assassins. Always been a terrible class, GG on being nerfed into shit. Good riddance.
Honestly, people, there isn't much to complain about here.

I agree completely. To reiterate, in case the big bold capital letters got missed last time: No soul reaping on spirits is good, NOW GET RID OF THE DAMN TIMER.
We grudgingly tolerated it when it served some purpose. But we still HATED IT. We still hate it now. It doesn't serve any purpose any longer. So get rid of it.

Doesnt the Mhenlo LoD swapped to WoH validate the notion that LoD's casting time makes the skill too ineffective? Also simply making that change doesnt make him any more capable of dealing with the AoE and mass degen situations faced in HM. Adding Heal Party wouldnt do any good either as the AI cant energy maintain and prioritize. I suppose I might have tried Holy Haste in place of Divine Intervention as the AI doesnt use that skill well either, and left LoD in to see if things were then somewhat better. That said, this particular change is preferred to simply having left him as he was.
Re-nerfing WoH a little, well, sure, ok. How about buffing a few of the truly unused heal elites a bit so they all are on a more even par? Might be fun to actually have several reasonable choices for a heal bar. Same goes for buffs to some dozen or more elites I dont think I have ever seen on anyone's bars across multiple professions.
Necros not gaining energy from spirits makes sense. It always did. The timer, however, makes none. Hope it is considered to simply returning SR to what it used to be, sans being affected by spirits.
Pets not leaving corpses also make no sense whatsoever, as pets are an animal, obviously. Its not like pets needed another reason not to use them in a PvE setting.

I'm laughing really hard right now; although I can't decide which is funnier: the nerfs, or the QQing in this thread.

Decent update, also a lot of you fail immensely. get better.
insticnt
yawn... buildwars.. stop nerfing every skill that i like and just improve all those stinky skills that people have never used. I could name atleast 30 skills in each class that you might as well just remove. Then we can just take away the skills that are decent.. Just to make a average joe game.
I would like to see an overall average skill balance, but with alot of choices that stand out with some sort of team combo being used. I agree some of these skills are over powered. Then again, i like to play in a game that you can abuse the more powerfull skills and Dominate as a Team.
Yawn i could go on and on but i guess it wouldn't really matter. The Game Updates suck cause all they updates are nerfs. Ok, maybe a few updates once in a while. But 80% nerf, and 20% boost of skills.
Just throwing out my 2 two cents for you guild wars devs.

The only reason anyone in PvE cares about the pets leaving exploitable corpses are B/P teams (Barrage/pet). They're used to generate a minion army quickly, most often to complete areas like Tombs, Urgoz, Sorrow's Furnace and FoW. Now I agree that it's not a necessity to complete those areas using that kind of set-up, just B/P teams are fast and generally foolproof for PuGs to manage.
Truthfully I haven't used my ranger's pet in ages. I used to want to get the Rainbow Phoenix when it was first announced, but now I figure why bother striving for it when I'll most likely never use it on my bar anyways?
And Horns. Booo.

Pets are now worthless. Only use is in a beastmaster build, and I'd rather just go regular d-shot ranger or splinter barrage.
And splinter/barrage isn't that bad either...I tried it today and it's hard to tell much difference in most mobs...just cant waste huge piles like in some of the screenies on here.

In fact, i play PvE, and used to play PvP with a W/R beastmaster. Is it an uber-build? No, it actually sucks compared to most. Is it fun? Well, it IS a game :-).
I agree with you from that standpoint, though.
