Simple enough explanatory title.

What elite skills do you see never being nerfed this year, or even possibly until the end of Guild Wars itself?

My list includes:
- Feast of Corruption (Necromancer)
- Cruel Spear (Paragon)
- Sandstorm (Elementalist)
- Quicksand (Ranger)

It's never been nerfed. The closest it came was when they buffed it, then decided that was a bad idea, so returned it to "normal."

Anything which is not common and effective in PVP then chances are it's never gonna get nerfed.

If it is common and effective in PVP, chances are almost sure it will be nerfed.

Although once a blue moon they add a small bit of variety to this formula via over-nerfing the crap out of PVE-only skills.

This is incorrect. SS did get nerfed via increased energy cost, official reason given, "It is the most powerful PVE skill in the game".

Ursan has also already been nerfed via making the claws into touch range only.

I love how people keep saying that, but since the other attack skill in Ursan only works on foes right next to you, making the main skill touch is actually a buff.

Never to be Nerfed: Any PvE only skill, because they're obviously the lead designers baby.

Guaranteed to be Nerfed: any mesmer elite, regardless of use or earlier nerfs.

Which still does little for the skill itself, though.

So is this thread about skills you want nerfed but don't think will be or ones you don't want nerfed so your calling attention to them???

Or are these skills that need a buff, and you think Anet will nerf instead?

This is about skills that will not be nerfed, because they are crap, and therefor have no reason to be nerfed.

SS is probably correctly balanced now so it shouldn't get nerfed.

I predict ursan blessing will get nerfed though, at some point this year.

They best make it soon. The longer it lives, the worse.

Good times : ) I totally forgot about that, too. Fun for my Necro while it lasted, though.

Explain to me, when exactly this happened. It's been 15 energy since Prophecies was released. The only time they "increased" the energy cost was after they had reduced it about a week before, which I mentioned.
