What the hell updates...

Im so confused about the massive mesmer nerf, the necro 1energy buff (what???), and the other various horrid changes.... can someone please explain WHY the hell anet is deciding to crush the gameplay like this...

Just chill, I am sure the dev notes are coming soon, they always do. I actually look forward to them, because its cool getting developers thoughts on the meta.

Who cares, the games been a mess for months.

they nerfedmystic regen... =\

1 week afteri get nightfall.. ouch anet... ouch

Anet's goal is to drive you away from the game. Thats how they make money off you after you've bought everything from their stores.

Seriously don't know maybe they want to see more BiP being used or something.

Meh @ 3 enchantment cap on Mystic Regenration.

They are killing the 55

Massive nerf? Only thing that was massively nerfed was Power Leak. Everything else was either buffed or reworked; you mesmers wanted AoE damage, well, there it is.

HAHA! I laugh at all the griefing elementalists who can't use Mystic Regen anymore.

^

The only significant mesmer nerf is power leak, which sure is really serious overkill for PVP, but the skill was shite in PVE anyway.

That's stupid.
BiP is rarely used outside of: TanknSpank, for bad monks and Minion Factory.

Not to mention Ursan Blessing has took it's toll over TanknSpank now.

You forgot Avatar of Grenth...wtf did they do to that skill other than make it worse than it already was?

For me: The only worthwhile thing here to me is PLeak (that was a really bad skill fix...now its underpowered.)
And LoD (might start using it again! )

Based on these posts, I'll maintain my stance that one cannot fully comprehend the skill updates unless he/she is knowledgeable in both high end PvE and PvP. Even then, it's still hard to understand most of those changes :P

Necro buffs were due to life saccing and hopefully making blood line stronger. Mesmer nerfs were due to insanely broken builds. Mystic regen was aimed towards HB, AB, and PvE farming.

And I don't understand how people focus on the 10% of the update that were nerfs and call this update a nerffest.

If anything, this was one of the better updates recently, but it's hard to understand unless you see both sides of the spectrum.

lol i don't think any logical explanation exists for the power leak nerf. Compared to powerspike, at 15 domination, both leave you 5 energy worse off than whoever you interrupted, but power spike deals heaps of damage. WTF?

woot to healing sig buff? XD

And those 1 necro skills are weird... time to play touch necro with vampiric spirit >_>

Imo it was time for the mystic nerf, it still works fine with the 55 monk.

Yeah that's true, they are killing it a bit more with every updates since 2 years
is there a new generation of noob people with idea 55=M.Regen in mind?

How many threads do we need on this?

They made it better than it was, and somewhat usable without being insanely broken and overpowered. Also, LoD is still bad.

Tsk tsk, Izzy. Tsk tsk.

However, the way these changes help split play is awesome. Split play is heaps more fun than flagstand block/holdfests.

first off, i could care less about "mesmer aoe". second, leak was a massive part of the meta as to have a way to shut off passive defense walls, and on top of that, now its USELESS. wandering eye is trashed, and yet somehow necros managed to get yet ANOTHER buff to their handicapped style gameplay. what more do necros need? SS to do 90 damage per skill use??? warriors need their skills revamped or buffed as far as anti block (cunning), and they could really use some reworking on some damn near useless elites/skills. troll buff? please, rangers need next to nothing with as balanced as they are. make equinox non-elite, or fix archers sig into WS, or leave them alone. mys regen nerf, (take it or leave it), and some crud buffs to eles/double sided blades for the monks...


this update did nothing to fix real problems, or even old problems, and on top of that, they added yet ANOTHER econ breaking money sink, paired with a stupid free toy now being paid up to 100k for...

please, this is getting pathetic.

I think it may have something to do with the tiny fact that it was a flippin' overpowered skill.
