I'm not an update whiner - I always find ways to adapt. But I just wanted to say, in a nice way of course:
"Watch Yourself" - ok, that was a little ouch. It's a standard on my PvE bar. I do understand why it had to be done for PvP.
A bit of a yay though - nice buffs to Mesmer.

Until now... I was never compelled to /rage at any updates anet had done. Sure, some made me want to throw my computer at a wall, but knew there were other skills to utilize.
For the first time, I /deleted my .dat file, and I can say with 100% certainty, I currently do not have any desire to play guild wars. I just... really don't want to. This is some of the most stupid stuff I've ever seen, and I just can't bring myself to want to play GW.

Agreeing with the Sin changes, they're starting to get nastier and nastier.
Why bring "Watch Yourself!" when you could bring "Save Yourselves!"?
Your stuff. May I have it?

Hmmm.... Not a bad balancing. Some skills which needed it got nerfed (like the Dervish and Assassin skills - I tried a D/A build in RA yesterday, and could teleport to and spike-kill one enemy every 20 seconds, and the spike also removed enchants. Completely ridiculous.
Necros got buffed like always, but for once the mesmers didn't get nerfed but came out about +/-0, possibly even with a small buff.
I don't see anything truly bad in the updates. That wont stop people from btiching & moaning, of course.
All in all a good update. Time to go find the new weapons - I have a hunch where one of them might be.

And if the Necro was their favorite, why'd they nerf Soul Reaping?

Or max out Command and bring Stand Your Ground!

That just dropped WY off the skill bar. I mean... 1-3 hits? If the number of hits were higher, then sure... but 1-3? Not worth it given it's not even evading the attacks... just extra armor against them. Also, in PvE against mobs... that's like not even 1 second of protection.

Foul Feast = Draw Conditions? Am I the only one who sees Necros becoming a support character with some of these skills changes? They could always be a support character, but normally they used secondary skills. Now, they can do it with primary skills. I like some of those changes, but I feel it is driving the class into a new role.
Wail of Doom saddens me. Although I never thought it was a GREAT skill, it was effective at preventing warriors from unleashing their adrenaline spikes. Since it was a skill, there was nothing that could be done about it. Now its a hex, so its able to be removed, and it functions totally differently. Except for the energy/recharge, Wail of Doom is the same as Atrophy. I don't quite see why they needed to make an elite version of Atrophy, and one that is only SLIGHTLY better.

[skill]foul feast[/skill] + [skill]contagion[/skill].....they just buffed the conditionway...
Overall interesting update. Too bad for WY!.....at least it is still instant energy for paras in PvP
The derv nerfs were mostly called for. Grenth's Aura got hit particularly hard. I like that Shattering Assault and the Rit skills that truly mattered were untouched
That's about it.

Btw necros are buffed almost as much as paragons are nerfed and there's no denying that.

Sure, you can bring a bunch of minions to soak up damage, or curse some people, lower their armor, hurt them with SS, etc, but stopping damage completely is different. If your saying that Paragons are nerfed badly, then your right, but they haven't been nerfed right.

As this update basically kills all of my favorite builds for several classes, all at once, for no justifiable reason, I have to say I hate it. Some of the updates were understandable, and I'm fine with most of the buffs. But the nerfs are absurd. 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.

I can't believe arenanet was silly enough to let Simple Thievery's monster-stealing abilities through the net! Was this really intentional? Unlike last time you actually have to interrupt the skill to take control of it, so perhaps it is. Though I do concur that in pvp it is way overpowered, I think being able to control monster skills is a nice touch for mesmers. When this is nerfed, please let us steal monster skills in pve 
.
And just for good measure:

I find it hilarious that the Team Build for Contagion Pressure at PvXWiki has already changed to add Foul Feast......that skill is so badass for Contagion Necros now. I almost want to try it, before the bat comes out.
I also would have thought that since Ward Against Foes got the bat that Grasping Earth would have too....I guess the eles received too many nerfs already :s
pygar
I like it...even though I dont GVG, assasins and dervs are a little too common in RA- and on the PvE side Derv bosses in Hard Mode might be a little more in scale with the other baddies around them. (I recently swept some HM zones in Kourna to find after clearing most of the zone with only small troubles, that there was a Derv boss on crack and steroids defended by a garrison of kournan troops and catapults left to deal with....maybe these encounters will be slightly less frightening now, and like I said, more in scale with the other monsters in the zone)
