Upcoming January 2008 Balance Update Questions...

I just wanna say that nerfing Ursan will just bring back the trinity. Diversity will never have a place till those 3 are nerfed beyond use for a time.

Jades targetting idea was good, would stop all the hassle when calling things like a hard rez or non-spike target that requires someones attention without making the warrior shout nasty things when all the casters spike a different target.

As far as skills go, id like to see them buff all the craptastic elementalist skills, at the moment elementalists feel like a U2 album, for every song worth listening to theres another 9 fillers.

Buff Dwarven Battle Stance.

It's not a proper skill update without it...

Heck, it may even be viable one day

luls. In like 3 years.

I'm hoping Mind Blast gets moved to energy storage.

You'd have thought that the designers would have learned their lesson with the ranger - energy management primary attributes are bad.

But no, they had to make the paragon and the dervish and create two more balancing nightmares for themselves...

At least the assassin energy management primary is perpetually underpowered.

I'm not...

12 chars

A hero/hench scatter command would be most welcomed.

No, they need PvE where they are usefull.

Example: Great destroyer. Right, punish party for having mesmer which interrupts him, make his spell like abilities not spells, great idea.

Me thinks you jest, yes?



With no new GW1 content coming out and a long wait for GW2 I can’t imagine the ‘nurf bat’ being too heavy this time around.

I think it will be never viable. If they buffed it, it just would be too good
Warmongers + IAS w/o drawback?

Thats no good because i recon hes talking about it updateing and disconnecting him while hes afk

I'd also like to imagine an update without the game being nerfed at all. In reality it will most likely be to a skill that didn't 100% need changing. Resulting in the evitable mega long thread of people moaning about it. Maybe the fact that their working on GW2 means they'll leave things be. Alternatively they'll amaze us with something good. And NO i don't mean more sodding mini pets. !!!!!

Or

They’ll open the boardwalk and let me waste 300k stood still!!

Here’s hoping….

People are whining even BEFORE the nerfing happened. Very logical I'm sure.

Can we keep it for later, or you want to split up the stress in two sessions?

Or Glyph of Renewal as a Non-Elite. Same effect, though Shadow From will luckily stay the same way

Yeah, and then buffed.

give axe warriors the ability to solo farm more than just crappy low lev monsters.

Kill Ursan.

Insanely buff the Mesmer, Rit, Sin and Dervish PvE skills (Kurzick/Luxon and Sunspear).



But even then the Trinity won't die, it's a staple of RPGs.

Can i ask what the Trinity is pls. thanks.

The dervish faction skill is already insane as it is now. In fact they do more damage than warriors but dont get the credit for it. In my experience anyway


A team built up by warriors, elementalists and monks.

There is no reason to kill tankway. It gives power and efficiency proportional to its user skills (read: it sucks for people who suck, its semi good for people who are good, its very inefficient compared to what best people can do.)
