Which is why every class got skill updates in the last update. This change was ANet adjusting a few skills that were changed the last update (except for fear me, which should have been in the initial balance).

Mind Blast combined with Fire Attunement grants (-5)+7+2=4 energy every 2 seconds which is up to 40 energy in a 20 second time-span at 12 Fire Magic. It also has some damage added on to it for good measure.

If my numbers were correct, then that's why I feel Mind Blast is so strong. Even if my numbers are wrong, I do know for sure that I can spam Rodgort's Invocation on recharge.

You forget it's conditional on having more energy than the target. Eles spells tend to have fairly high costs, so it takes a bit of skill to use MB to its full effect. Also, to be more effective, it tends to require you run a high energy set which affects your base recharge rate (set swapping excepted).

MB is fine - leave it as it is

Once more the skills affected have little use in PvE, so I am happy

Maybe Anet has finally stopped messing with PvE, one can only hope!

They know perfectly well that other classes exist. Sadly, they've already nerfed them beyond all recognition and most good use.

Yeah... because we all know the paragon is "th3 suxz" right?

I mean, a ranged DPS of a warrior with unstribable buffs that gets more powerful as more of them are in a group isn't useful.
/sarcasm off

Good update overall.

Wow! About time they nerf "Fear Me"!

I'm sure that HA will become much more active and balanced with the death/weakening of iway teams.

Thank god for the Fear Me! nerf.

AoS needs 1s cast or a much longer recharge/shortened duration, I wouldn't mind seeing this get hit really hard.

SBS: meh, double blind reduction runes already do a good enough job at countering blind bots.

PA: lol

VoD: Izzy has no idea, poor guy.

If by "more balanced" you mean the iway scrubs turning into sway scrubs, then yes, I believe so too.

Sins, Mesmers, Monks, Paragons, Rangers, Rits, and Wars all got significant (in one way or another) buffs last update. This really seems like a silly time to start whining about classes getting ignored.

It is. That way I won't have to click on the "delete post" button a million times. This is the general community's view on the update. The other thread is for people with PvP experience.

Well anyways I believe sway requires a little more skill to play than iway, althought not much. I'm already happy with that.

Weak Skill buff means
Classes ignored.

Because he's to busy with that game he plays in his free time (fine)
and GW2 (...half-fine)
