Ursun strike requires you to touch your target instead of distance, first thing I noticed :O not to bad though

Im in a mallyx group right now and blind doesnt effect it by missing =D
Cargan
um, are you using the ursan blessing you get in the quest "Blood Washes Blood"? That one is touch only and is different to the elite skill Ursan Blessing.
angmar_nite
At least caster classes will have a harder time... MORE NERF PLZ! Really, I don't mind it half as much, but in my opinion only wars should be able to truly tank effectively with this skill by itself.

There's nothing in the update notes on the official site about skill changes.
TechnoSword
It doesnt have to be mentioned, like I said I used Ursun Strike while in a mallyx group, It makes my character touch the person im targetting no longer distance
jammerpa
I've just tested it out and ursan strike only works when you're right next to your target instead of being on the edge of the targets aggro bubble.
Onarik Amrak
I guess Anet was hoping we wouldn't notice. LOL!
Cargan
I'm guessing they've changed it to the way it was supposed to work to start with. How would a bear maul from range? :P Really didn't make much sense that the 2 versions of the skill worked differently, but either way is good. I may be biased as I always use melee weapons when using Ursan.
Now, if only they'd let Ursan Force break through walls/barriers...

That's not bad for UBers is it? Glad to see Anet didn't go overboard. Of course, there will still be the whiners who want it nerfed more, but ah well.
ume kurosaki
Looks like they fixed it. I was wondering why I could use Ursan Strike from a long distance with the elite skill compared to the Blood washes Blood variant.

Great, just great... because of some complaining aNet takes out the nerf bat to Ursan Strike. And I don't complain much about nerf bats, but I'm ticked.
Folks like me (mesmer) and the rest will not be able to do Mallyx... back to cookie cutter builds for that.
You know, when they come with something cool, like this PVP only skill...
flame me if you like, but I know I'm not the only one... there's a lot of unhappy casual players (not just the farmers).
Grrrrrr......

azzer20

amen. these god damn whiners qqing about how ub made doa obselete, really need to get over themselves. those comments were the same ones discriminating and preventing others from getting into groups. nice to hear that if i whine loud enough, i could get something too. lets see what we could whine about next.....how about luxon and kurz title tracks being too high?
Sujoy
Never had problem playing with mesmers in high-end areas, just group with friends or guildies if ever necessary.
Never did UB, never will.

I advise against trying it.

Two threads on this topic merged.
sagilltwins
the nerf wasn't THAT bad.... still playable just not as spammable :/
kobey
I have always been in touch range when ursaning. don't see how it affects me.

Anet lets QQing dictate way to many changes with this game, maybe they should let QQing develop GW2 that way we can get it over with at the start.

Yeah. UB use goes in inverse proportion to your skill, and correlates neck-and-neck with your laziness.
People use it 1. Because they haven't the skill to get through the area, or they don't have the patience to wait for a time when enough friends/guildies/alliance members can get together to do it. 2. They just want to get in bad pugs and farm the snot out of an area.
Suck it up, Buttercups!

UB is still really good and overpowered. Changing from ranged to touch isn't that big of a deal. Now you might need a speed boost consumable, but that's about it.
You can't see me
6 Tanks and Two monks, Ursanway. Gg. This changes nothing.

Ursan is still a ridiculous amount of armor ignoring damage, it simply cant be used at caster range anymore. IMO, making it armor-affected and/or toning the damage down a bit would have been an alternative, but at least now you have to get in melee range.
cliff notes:
anet tries a mild nerf for once. sure wish they would've tried that with LoD.
ursan still way overpowered.
all users go to guru and set up a QQ thread.
remains to be seen how long it will last till the flaming gets thread closed.
*waits to see line of QQers decend*
truemyths
hah, as far as the button mashing and all that good stuff, maybe I'm just not doing it right. It seems like once you have any skills bar, well, it's just button mashing. Of course, it's all in the timing, which is the same for ursan.
As far as "not much change"... let's see AL 60 plus a bit in touch range... nope, that's a pretty big impact for casters who use this.
As far as normal game use, ursan with H/H is a fine complement but in no way the sole skill one would use to maximum effect. As a mesmer, I soften em up, go ursan, then switch back. I've got some hidden energy (via wpn switching), so I'm right back in action. But now, that sort of thing is out if I have to get in melee range.

This isn't even a nerf, it's just making the skill make some sense. Why the hell would you be able to bear maul at range? The level of complaining about such a minor alteration implies the PvE community is even more cripplingly dependent on this ridiculous skill than I thought. By all means, nerf the stupid thing some more (nerf pain inverter while you're at it, actually), maybe people will think about what they put on their bar for a change.
The Meth
I really question why they changed it this way. The ONLY possibly redeeming part of UB is that it allowed less popular classes get into pug groups. So anet nerfed that one benefit of letting mesmers, ritualists, ect into pugs while not doing anything to warriors/dervs/rangers using UB.
eeks
Well, I guess it makes the other attack skill easier to use if one is spam happy and (before the 'nerf'), didn't care whether they had any foes adjacent to them or not.

One step in the right direction, at least.
Lagg
We traveled deep into the fires of The Foundry of Failed Creations, where Ursan Blessing was forged, the one place it could be destroyed.
— ArenaNet! Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!
— No.
— ArenaNeeet!
ArenaNet kept Ursan Blessing. It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure.

You know, people DID play PvE in a time before UB existed. A staggering realization, I know... however it seems most of the QQers have forgotten this, especially since UB is still ridiculously overpowered even for a PvE skill. I fail to see how this change does anything except make the skill follow logic.

Too little, too late. Touch Range does little to dent it's effectiveness
