I realize it was overpowered for PvP but Jesus this skill is now completely useless in PvE unless maybe you are a Beast Master.

um... every skill in the game was nerfed to the level of antique curiosities with the introduction of ursan's blessing.
Horseman Of War
well since every thread on the most recent update has been closed, ill post it here instead.
song of restoration [email protected] = not even an elite anymore. worthless by non-elite comparison as well. ballad of restoration @ 30 sec recharge = disgusting...
April Fools was 2 weeks ago ANET, wtf are you on? I stopped using those skills last time they were nerfed.
Ill say it again.
SONG OF RESTORATION IS NOT EVEN ELITE-WORTHY NOW

Song of Resto was already a 20 sec recharge conditional party heal. They could have changed it to 15e, but now you can only use it once every half minute.
Nothing beats WY though.

This is not a skill but the change to the absorption rune to phyisical from all damage.

Shroud Of Silence.
Went from elite to knockdown.
And despite me being an assassin, I was happy about the Shadow Prison Nerf.
Scrubs need to come up with their own builds.
And, although it was incredibly overpowered, I disliked them nerfing the spirits.

I have only been playing for a little under a year, so I have no idea what "old times" where like, but the only nerf I've ever felt so far was Light of Deliverance.
Nature's Renewal looked like fun!

none of the recent nerfs even compairs to what they did to Ether Renewal.
Surely, being able to maintain 80 (!) bonds was a "bit" too much, but you don't have to bludgeon a skill to complete non-usage for it.

Light of Deliverance: increased casting time to 2 seconds; decreased heal amount to 5..70; now affects all party members regardless of Health.
in february :
Light of Deliverance: decreased casting time to 1 second; increased recharge time to 10 seconds.
so basically, overall, they made it less effective. At first, it was creaming "INTERUPT ME !!!", now the recharge just sucks

Worst skill nerf ever was EoE, it was a nerf from left field. It was not a skill balance just a heavy handed nerf to a single skill out of the blue. It was great for farming and HA was great when EoE was kicking strong. It brought an element of danger to the game that just can't be replaced. The constant damage from EoE on an active battlefield embodied what spirits were supposed to do, which was add environmental effects that you used to your advantage or if you were n00b it would backfire to your disadvantage, great stuff kinda like GW dynamite.

If I recall correctly, during beta Battle Rage didn't end when reapplied, so you didn't lose all adrenaline when reapplying the skill.
It used to be an incredibly useful elite.
Now it's junk.

EoE was amazing, you couldnt get a more fun build to play in HA than EoE bomb imo
some really bad nerfs ive seen are:
Watch yourself - WHY...WHY?? they already made it so armor skills dont stack so why nerf it *thinks* aaahhhh so you buy EoTN and use I am unstoppable.
Visages - SV/AV understandable as they are the backbone of 55/ss underowrld.. But it didnt stop people from doing that so why mess up a skill that people use for other things
Protective bond - Enough said? lol
Spirit bond - Although its still a really good skill the 10 hit is rather annoying
As i mentioned before the armor nerf. Warriors became pretty crap after the armor update. Anybody else remember superior absorption being 60k? That was the fall of economy lol
Flame dijins haste - This wasnt so bad but it was a useful skill. Still useable but not as effective

Just because the Paragon can use it, this Warrior skill got killed.
Song of Restoration
Recharge and energy totally killed Motivation, and there aren't much good Elite Paragon skills in the first place.
"Incoming!"
Totally destroyed.

Tough question cos some of the nerfs have been outstanding in thier own right, but i would say,
Ether renewal
SR
There are a lot more but these for me were .....unelegant to say the least.

I think the LoD nerf was the worst. It also seemed to cause the most noise of any I had heard since the 12 minion cap and the soul reaping nerf. Fortunately, the current status is exactly what I suggested they do to un-nerf it. You know it has to be bad when they undo what they did.
Fay Vert
The worst skill nerf was
Player skill
Izzy has been slapping the players into his tight little straight-jacket of conformity for a couple of years and there really is no player skill left. No inventiveness, no variety, all you need to do is get the latest cookie-cutter and mash.

typical anet though tbh, If theres a problem with a skill - kill it.

The rit protective spirits shelter, displacement and union have taken a lot of hits almost to the point of uselessness now in PVE.
