BUT you don't see me whining about PVE being ruined. You won't see me throwing fits about how PVP screwed the game. Because all that is garbage.

Sometimes I think my PVE peers are a bunch of whining weetards. Remember, we're not all like that.
Thanks for being intelligent. Appreciate it I do.

I wasnt calling Snow elite, sorry if thats unclear. I was referring to everyone who constantly goes on about how easy PvE is, if it were really as simple as you all make out no one would do it ectos would be worth about 2k, again and so called 'elite' areas would be empty as people would be able to solo most of it/ grab a build off wiki give it to a hero and go clear it in 20mins. since everything apart from giving builds from wiki to heroes is untrue does this not tell you anything.

Personally i dont play pvp to many people thinking theyre better than everyone else therefore all these buffs do is help me out. Suppose ill have to thank the 'elite' community for whining to anet about how a skill is overpowered/underused instead of getting over it and not using it.

cheers

Personally I'd have less against stealing monster skills than I have against Ursan. Part of the problem with Ursan is that it's so *dumb*, it destroys all professions, removes the need to learn to compose a skillbar, and encourages playing like a clueless rusher wammo. Stealing monster skills, on the other hand, is just... well... a bit overpowered.

Stealzoring monster skills iz fun joo unterstood? Well yeah, it is fun, but I bet that Anet will take it off.. bad bad Anet xD That is actually little something I wouldn't mind to have, was fun to use Searing Breath against GD. Pity I have already beaten all norn guards As for update in the other hand, I don't get why people are whining so much about it. Yeah, your builds might be ruined, but hey, lets use our nut sized brains and think something else. Or wait till PvX will think something. Anyways, this was killer for me too but at least I'm not /ragequit

Simple Thievery: decreased casting time to .25 seconds; increased recharge to 10 seconds; decreased duration to 5..20 seconds; changed functionality to: "Interrupt target foe's action. If that action was a skill, that skill is disabled for 5..20 seconds, and Simple Thievery is replaced by that skill."

I think someone needs to get off the Know-It-All train Didn't you learn when you were young not to believe everything you see? My avatar is a rebuttle to all the whining about the skill. I am actually not entirely in favour of the Ursan skill. I think it has its time and place, but so does every other elite skill. You are so thoroughly mistaken about me that I can't even be angry :P Do you really feel that comfortable making uninformed judgments about people? I am sorry for your attitude - you may have been a player I might've enjoyed playing with in game.

So you base your judgement on whether or not PVE is hard on the price of ectos? I guess you forgot about drop rates, which have nothing to do with ease or difficulty of the mobs themselves. Or the fact that they're limited to a couple of areas in where they drop? Or how about demand?

Except for a few areas, the MAJORITY of PVE is indeed easy.

I'm not a PVP'er but I think the PVE community whines too much about balance. Especially when you knew damn well what kind of game GW is when you bought the game. Did you not think there would be skill balances?

And are you people really having that much difficulty playing the game because of nerfs?

This is reminding me (more and more) of the Guild Wars that existed long ago when eles sucked ass and warriors were the only real damage dealers. That was boring as hell. A-net needs to learn that not every buff needs to be coupled with a nerf. I'm all for making mesmers more relevant though, so kudos on the buffs there. But what the hell is up with the necromancer skill changes?

All in all I'm deeply disappointed.
If you builds all lynchpin around a couple of skills, don't you agree then that they are overpowered?
Adapt people.

All of my PvE builds got better.
Observer mode will be interesting for a little while (hopefully).

Sweet.

Yeah you’re right, but I am taking screenshots of this. It will be the most memorable moment to me in Guild Wars. It’s something I suggested awhile back ago when they talked about a overall buff to mesmers in PvE. So I am trying to enjoy this as much as I possibly can (while it lasts).

Hey remember that time when w/rt was over used to oblivion and ectos went right from 11k - 10k to 3k?, god damn being a w/rt made parts of the UW easy.

now if all of pve was like this (this being a specific build that could kill just about most things in every area) everything but HoH drops would be cheap
