"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

AoL really needs a good deep wound causer (and who doesn't like +90 or so damage in one hit? =D).

And if 3 elites was possible...

HECK YEAH! Immunity to conditions and hexes (kinda), a health boost per skill used, and +45 damage against foes using a skill XD.

I suppose you still could bring two, but you wouldn't be able to use more than one of them in the same time.

Also, I just thought of something else.

y'know what'd be more fun? allowing barrage to be used with preparations. splinter+ignite arrows+barrage+Secret Lair Of The Snowmen=Melted graphics card with all the damage popping up.

Now that we all know what we want.....here's how to actually use it in PvE.

WARNING: Anet will most likely frown on this....

I'll use mine as an example.....

[skill]Shadow Form[/skill][skill]Glyph of Renewal[/skill]

You would start with an A/Me (no matter what your combo, you must have a mesmer secondary), and you'll need an Ele hero with Glyph of Renewal, and a hero with Shadow Form. Worth noting is that there really is no need to have more than 12 Attribute points in shadow arts....with a +20% enchant weapon you can actually maintain Shadow Form this way with just 9 in Shadow Arts.

You need one of the Norn blessings (we'll just say Ursan)....

Your skill bar would look like this....

Ursan Blessing
Arcane Echo
Arcane Mimicry
OPTIONAL
OPTIONAL
OPTIONAL
OPTIONAL
OPTIONAL

Usage:

Cast arcane echo, then arcane mimicry on your hero with shadow form, then cast the echo'd arcane mimicry on the hero with glyph of renewal. Now cast Ursan Blessing, followed by totem of man.

Viola......the rest of your time in that zone, you will have 3 elites. In this case, Ursan Blessing, Shadow Form, and Glyph of Renewal.

Now you can just flag your 2 heroes at the portal, and go vanquish.....all the while maintaining Shadow Form, hahahaha.

And yes, it works.....

Solo clear the UW/FoW anyone?


Well....it DID work. I guess this got fixed =(
