Nah, after the so called "nerf" the caster class actually HAVE a chance of living on, instead of just getting showered by like 50+ damage 1 kd and then: death.
And hey, it still kills nowadays and people still uses it, so there is no reason for you to complain.

I would say the UW solo trap build. That sucked they took away the one great thing that rangers had

No skill nerf has been a worse too me. At least not yet.

One player's nerf is another player's blessing...
If you're the one using what was nerfed, then of course you're going to be pissed, but if you were on the receiving end of what was nerfed, then you probably are glad it's now "balanced".
I only wish the devs would give a bit more explanation or justification for why a change was made...

Give it a break, if everything single skill is GOOD, then pvp would just be a bloodbath, you spam your skill asap.

Light of Deliverance was probably the most stupid recent nerf.
Nerfing the inspiration line along with Divine Boon at a time when blessed light was runnable anyway.

The Shadow Prison nerf. You went from seeing AB teams consisting of nothing but Shadow Prison ganksters to nearly no Sins overnight. For a while there were a few sins staggering around the arenas with no sense of purpose, wondering what the hell happened to their glorious throne of win. It's pretty amazing to see how many PvP sins actually know how to make a build when there is nothing good on the wiki. Very few, but I will admit, those sins were probably better than the no talent, ass-hat, wiki using 1-2-3-4-5 spammers.
Then slowly, with the HotO build they slowly came back and then...BAM, nerfed again, and once again you see AB go from 10v10 sin teams to virtually no sins at all, and now, once again, they come staggering back into AB once more with their wiki builds.
Mobeious Strike is next you bastards.

Great chance to point out at how ANet would rather junk a skill than fix the AI. Thanks, because I like my Rangers to suck hard at farming.
No change since, because nobody cares to use it anymore. I still use it on my heroes as some extra group damage, but its old farming capabilities are crippled beyond repair.
Edit: Some text changed, because apparently a few people were misunderstanding me.

Even so, we know that Splinter Weapon has been a favorite skill in high-end PvE and will be watching this change closely.

Ummm none...
Nerfs here, buffs there. I adapt my build as neccessary. I'm more then willing to accept some nerfs (incoming, Hoto, LoD) because they are neccessary for balance sake (Hoto was a bit extreme, but *shrug* I don't get up in arms about these things). I can't even remember what some skills were like back in the prophecies days.
The BEST nerf was the one that killed boon prot. Those things' immunity to hexes with CoP was annoying for my mesmer.
PS Shayne: It had nothing to do with the AI. It had everything to do with the damage booast and the fact that VoD came sooner now. And A.net has fixed that (somewhat) in the reccent update that delayed VoD again and changed the NPCs skill bar.

Probably killing EW, or LoD.

Back quite some time ago, monsters just used to stand there during AoE damage effects that eles were so fond of raining upon them. The nerf was that they scattered from AoE effects. A lot of people got totally bent out of shape over that. It worked just fine for me, as I primarily run a necro, and Spiteful Spirit was not impacted by this. Suddenly, SS Necros were very popular for groups.
Of course, I got my due when minions got limited to 10....

I didn't particullary care for the Inspiration nerf, and actually think it should be buffed again now.

The many soul reaping nerfs, I miss having 2 pips of regen on my necro and still having full energy. 
I also miss soloing just about everything on my warrior, damn armor stacking nerf.

Other than that, I miss LoD. Nothing else really comes to mind at the moment.

on topic I didnt like the LoD nerf but I can see why, I woulda preferred a drop in healing rather than cast time though.

On Splinter Weapon, it will not be reverted. Sorry a single Barrage isn't doing several thousand points of damage anymore.

Eles in general. The elementalist is supposed to be a glass cannon, high damage and very little defense, unless you spec earth. They either need to make some skills like Fire Armor and Air Armor, or buff some of the elementalist skills for higher damage. I'm not talking about the main skills that elementalists use, by the way- there are something like 50 highly underpowered elementalist skills that cannot hold a candle to the others, and it is rather frustrating.
That, and Soul Reaping, and the minion cap. The SR nerf was just wrong, and the minion cap is just not cool... I understand for PvP, but I kinda miss the days when a necro could kill 5 or so pets in the beginning, use em to kill more, than have an army of 50 minions by the end of the mission. Talk about pure ownage. Course, if the mm died, you were totally screwed...

Sins are better with 3 attacks. Golden fox strike, wild strike, nine tail strike.
Lolwut you cant be blocked and have 5 slots for whatever you want and a free elite choice (can use the elite dual attack that cant be blocked too instead of nine tail).
Use it with a conjure, strength of honor, and some speed buffs or even critical eye.
The point is hoto and moebius are overused, try this instead.

Burst of Aggression, just because that skill on sins was the imba ias...Personally I didn't mind the shadow prison bar nerf, it really shook up the people who played sin, you saw innovation in some builds, the terribad, and then the people that actually can make a build. I had alot of builds to fall back on way before the nerf ^-^
