Does anyone ever use the wolfen or the raven blessing?
Peeps seem to only use ursan
But i find the raven blessing can be helpful for mass blindings
Just wanted to know cus i have never seen a peep do it before.

We'll see how long it takes this thread to reach the bottom. I've never really seen anyone admit to using Ursan; we'll see who admits to using Raven/Wolfen.

Raven can be pretty handy with the crippling & ranged attack.

Or so I've heard

not another ursan bashing thread.... its funny now much attention this issue has gotten.... when no one cares if something is overpowered in pve as long as it helps the general consensus.

Not really. I've used Raven Blessing once or twice to have a chuckle, but for the most part those skills pale in comparison to Ursan.

I think that's the problem: There's nowhere that you could use Raven or Volfen that Ursan wouldn't do better.

I use Volfen blessing when I want to have fun... and Ursan when I want to bash things (I still have fun when I'm using Ursan though ^^)

He kinda did. Sadly Ursan is the only one of the 3 blessings worth the elite slot because like Snograt said Ursan does better than them in most if not all areas. And the problem is if they buffed Raven and Volfen we would get a replay of whats happened with Ursan.

once in our DoA fullrun there was one Raven guy
he did good damage but well... the fact he had less armor meant more healing for me to do
(yes i was healer)

I use, but not often, Volfen's bloodlust combined with lots of minions, barbs and orders. O.o

None of them have AoE knockdown, so none of them have the damage mitigation of Ursan.
That said, I used Raven when farming Norn points outside Olafstead: that's the one place I've found where spreading blind and not being knocked down > AoE knockdown.

First of all, there won't be an ursan nerf, so stop QQ'ing. Secondly, I use Volfen, yes its pronounced VOLFEN, not wolfen, when doing HM dungeons and such. My 33% IAS + UB= UBER DMG. I find that bringing a raven with also works quite well.

I also have used raven and volfen once, but only when I had to. No plans to use them ever again. As for Ursan never have used it... it will probably be nerfed by the time I get around to it.

I definitely prefer Raven.

1) No need to run around chasing your opponent trying to get a melee or two in while your attack skill(s) recharges 'cos of the cripple & bleed.

2) Excellent armor-ignoring ranged AoE damage, so it doesn't matter if the intended target's running around like normal, chasing after your squishies. The Ursan's double attack might do more damage, but since one or both of the attacks can miss (and maybe be blocked?)... And my timing sucks too badly to effectively use its AoE knockdown (ie, the intended victim's almost always moved on). :P

3) Blindess sucks - except when I can remove it at will and inflict it on the enemy. Not getting hit is nice. The +XX% blocking chance, minor as it is, also helps.

4) Immunity to knockdown is also nice, expecially if you're in Norn lands with all the Centaurs, Jotuns and Frozen Golems.

Don't have an opinion on Volfen. Haven't actually used it yet outside of the tutorial quest for it.

I do not use raven/volfen(nor ursan) because they take away with what's to me one of the most fun parts of this game. Creating your own builds, and mastering them.

I like to toss Volven into an Ursan party for some deep wounds + attack speed buffs.

Raven is far to weak to be of much use to me.

i understand how many ppl see that ursan and so on are kinda lame to use and are a easy way out.
Ursan should be nurfed because i went in FoW as a complete noob with rank 10 ursan adn i completed it without dying once in a all ursan +2 HB monk team. Thats not cool in my opinion.
