How Would You NERF Ursan?

/sigh

Do you know what the word perma(nent) means? Permanent for the time FGJ is up, anyway. FA + FGJ = permanent. UB + FGJ = ...

a) Remove it. Easy.
b) Make it enchantment and give it huge recharge time.
c) Reduce damage by 2/3 and make KD target only.
d) Restrict usage to Norn areas.
e) Leave it as it is. If more then 1 player in team has UB then 3/4 of enemy mobs get UB (the rest turn to monks) and gain 5 levels per number of ursan players. (AKA: Say 'Hi' to level 55 Titans with UB) actually a level 55 titan could do more dmg with their normal bars than ursan,hmm shockwave comes in mind

The thing that's so strong about ursan is that it replaces a bad player's shitty bar with a good one. Even if you nerf the damage/recharge/activation or whatnot, ursan will remain grind>skill.

And that leads to why the idea of having ursan work like a stronger dervish avatar is probably the "best" one. That way, they could also balance the other blessings in relation to this one, so that casters benefit more from say, raven, and physicals benefit more from ursan.

Something like:

Ursan: 60 seconds. 120 disable. +100..200 health, +10..20 armor, +10..20% chance of causing KD.
Raven: 60 seconds. 120 disable. +10..20 energy, +10..20% block rate, spells cast and recharge 10..20% faster.
Volfen: 60 seconds. 120 disable. +50..100 health, +1..5 health regen, +10..20% attack and movement speed, +10..20% critical hit. Something like this would be very nice (I'd probably add +10-20 damage with Ursan). Since it's also an Elite, it avoids abuses with some Elites, and means it might not be the best skill to take any any point, depending on your build, and it's still useful at lower levels of Norn

A -- I don't play Ursan, so how was I supposed to know the proper damage? Regardless, 150 armour-ignoring damage every 3 seconds is still pretty screwed up coming from ONE SKILL.

B -- I said SINGLE SKILL, that implies Ursan Strike, not Ursan Rage, which even says on the description "Physical damage".

C -- Ursan can do perma-SY aswell. Once Ursan is off, AR + FGJ should have SY permanent for FGJ's duration. Note that Racthoh's Paragon setup is a full character, Ursan allows 12 skills altogether -- Ursan, *4 Ursan skills*, 7 skills left with no elite slot and 2 PvE-only skills left. Totem of Man excluded. Ursan Roar doesn't hurt the DPS, particularly in a large group of ursans. 3 Ursans can keep the skill up constantly.

I don't play GW anymore because although I have every part in the GW series, including EotN, ursanway has ruined the game for me.

For moral and ethical reasons, like the Lightbringer title is restricted to Nightfall for usefulness, the Norn title should have been restricted to the EotN campaign for usefulness, in the interests of fairness to players without the expansion.

This is all any reasonable player should need as an argument against the ursanway stupidity you see in UW, FoW, and of course DoA these days.

But this fairness issue is not why I don't play GW anymore. It's because even though I have a Rank 10 Ursan, GW is boring done ursanway.

There's a difference between mind numbing grinding and mind warpingly numbing spamming of 1,2,3 same skills every area - elite, mission, quest - normal mode, hard mode regardless... and that difference is ursanway.

Goodbye Guild Wars - it was a fun couple years.
AGAIN! this is not a piss and moan thread!
If your leaving fine. no one cares. go cry in a corner by yourself.



Now. Back on topic. It looks like the avatar idea is still the popular one.
But keep them coming.

But keep them coming. I didn't realise the thread was troll infested, apologies for my calm reflections on a dead game.

I made it pretty clear the only ethical nerf for UB would be to restrict it to EotN or better still, Norn areas. The ethical aspect is one that is new and so worth considering. The mechanics are over argued in my opinion.

As far as crying goes, if we must use the favoured troll term of abuse, perhaps some people's crying has stopped because PvE is achievable for them now. My crying started when it got too easy.

But I'm glad some trolls *ahem* people can enjoy the game now it has dead/easy-mode. Sorry, please go on with your topic. : )
