Some people are against a "win" button and prefer challenge over hand-holding. I guess the word "challenge" is new for you.
Also, what makes you think you will tell people what to discuss? Are you someone important or just another carebear with big ego?
You calling others "kiddo" is ohsoironic.

What is people's problem with Ursan?

You can't use it in PvP so nobody is complaining from being killed by it. I've not seen a monster yet pull me to one side to complain I'm being unfair.

If you think it's over-powered... Don't use it!

Personally, I don't. I like to play the game with more than 3 attacks to choose from.

The problem with Ursan is that it's so impossible to find a non-guild party if you don't want to use it, inchoate. (or it is imo anyway)

Oh ok.
I guess it's okay if GW 2 will have Carebear Blessing which kills all mobs in the area. After all, you can not use it if you don't like it. What's people's problem with that, huh!?

My point is that they won't listen. Don't get me wrong, I'm on the right side of you, but if it's going to be nerfed it would be planned. If not, the carebears get what they want.

If you don't want to use Ursan's Blessing you are too smart for Guild Wars - please stop playing - oh wait - you already have! So have I - life is less annoying without the kiddies isn't it?

My God is this thread still going....

My problem with Ursan, which I may have said before is simply this; it's akin to setting the difficultly level to "village idiot"; it is mind-numbingly boring to run, and it enables those who play poorly to continue to do so as it doesn't require any actual thought. Before you know it, we will all be surrounded by morons who have no concept of how to create a bar of their own or why said bar would or wouldn't work. Just slap on Ursan and go. Oh wait...

It makes the game really terrible for those of us who actually enjoy a challenge which in my mind was the point of HM.

another Ursan thread...god

all I will say is, Ursan is a move you don't have to use, if people want to use Ursan, let them, it doesn't affect you.

If you can't find people to play with outside of your guild because they ONLY want someone with Ursan then why the hell would you want to play with them.

Play with less idiots I say (btw I use ursan sometimes but I would never try to form a pug with only ursans/monks)

ps. I don't get what the big deal with ursan is, imo, it seems like an overhyped move....then again I am at rank 2 (almost 3) so maybe thats why I have not seen much from it yet.

Yeah - even Microsoft's Solitaire is more amusing for me these days.

Note to all those 'Don't use UB!' posters... again... your defence of UB can be used to defend any overpowered skill.

Also, unfortunately, 99% of people don't have the self discipline to handicap themselves with sub-optimal builds and, teams.

Anyway as the older player base leaves Ursan Wars in disgust, the newer players learn nothing, and the whole game degenerates over time, like an old brain with no stimuli.

Is this too difficult to follow?

Note for marketing students out there - unlike Star Wars Galaxies which haemorraged players by allowing anyone to be a Jedi from level 1 in an update, Guild Wars managed to sneak in the same kind of update and lose no money by putting it in the last expansion they released. (No monthly fees you see!) This is very clever!

Contrary to popular belief, even PvE should require a certain amount of skill to succeed in. That being said, the Ursan Blessing we have right now is a complete overpowered piece of crap.

Well there would be no point people raise their Norn Track To use ursan and if you take it to were you could only use it in norn territories there would be no point....ursan is just an over all easy thing to use and limiting it would be limiting the players.....

K People know how to make a dang build(well some people can) it is just fun to play Ursan they get r10 and it is just a joyride they don't ALWAYS play it.....most things are easier with an ursan build...that is it.....Gosh...

Ursan's not the only reason to raise your Norn rank. Plenty of other worthwhile Norn skills - [["I Am The Strongest!"] (my favorite PvE skill, especially for Hammer builds where most +damage would wear out before you get more than a couple of hits in, even with IAS), [["Finish Him!"], [["I Am Unstoppable!"], [["You Move Like a Dwarf!"], [[Feel No Pain], [[A Touch of Guile], and [[Club of a Thousand Bears], for example. And I suppose there are some that feel that [["Dodge This!"] is good, but it's meh to me.

Exactly my reason's for not wanting a regional limit to skills . I use a number of these on my builds and not having them available would be irritating beyond belief.

By all means give UB a double helping of the nerf bat but not via introducing area specific skills

If it were only a few people using it for a short period of time this thread would not exist. It's bad. It promotes incompetant play. That is it.

They learn nothing because there's no incentive to learn anything. When you already have one of the most powerful and convenient builds at your fingertips, why learn anything new? When you can already storm through DoA, why improve your class?

I never understood who the hell would look for or enable cheat codes in games, sure its fun for awhile but whats the point without challenge. To me, Ursan has turned into just that, a cheat code for Guild Wars.

Ursan Blessing should be toned down to a viable alternative build rather than the be all end skill for almost every guild wars party.

What is the point! You may have assassin armor, perhaps daggers (although most likely shield and sword), and have the A/ next to your name but you AREN'T actually playing assassin so its completely pointless. All your skills are replaced with Ursan Blessing skills, whether you are a mesmer, a warrior or an assassin you are all doing exactly the same thing. Ursan blessing promotes the extermination of diversity of professions, the only skilled players in an ursanway group are the monks, and even then an average monk (red bars go up) can handle most situation. Ursan blessing never should of been implemented, Izzy needs to realize that Ursan is affecting GW in a negative way, and the only QQ'ers here are those afraid of a nerf to Ursan, clearly they wouldn't be able to handle normal play styles.

Yeah, but Molock, even the Monks can buttonmash the shit out of their bars and hit Seed spells while targetting the Ursans.

There are many good skills in gw and being powerful is cool, UB is an easy way to reach it, ok maybe it has made noob become good players but I don't care, i'm really taking fun with it and when I see the times ursans (R10+cons...) takes for some elite missions it's so long !!!!!!! Look at DoA for instance, foundry was so long to do before something like 3hours, now you got it in less than 1h running ursan... And they say : "You've been playing for two hours, you should have a break etc..." (?!) It can be even more for some dungeons in HM... So ursan is good for reducing times needed for a "normal team", it also allows many people to contemplates the elite regions of gw and to succeed them.

I love this overpowered skill, UB teams go so fast for killing mobs it's really active you get with three ursans on one aaxte for instance, spike with first skill and aaxte is down ^^.
People also should make the difference between bad ursans and good ursans :

I have a W/R with armor 80 +20 vs physical +10 with stance (or +20vs elemental dmg) and this build when I have +20 ele armor :

[build prof=Warrior/Ranger][Ursan Blessing][Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support][Summon Naga Shaman][Charm Animal][Comfort Animal][Dolyak Signet][Signet of Stamina][Resurrection Signet][/build]

this build when +10 with stance :

[build prof=Warrior/Ranger][Ursan Blessing][Drunken Master][Summon Naga Shaman][Charm Animal][Comfort Animal][Dolyak Signet][Signet of Stamina][Resurrection Signet][/build]

I got the black widow, I don't always bring my pet cause if he die, you have +8s reload for skills and you can't rez him as ursan...(also bring pain inverter ehehehh ^^)

Anyway, someone who has not understood the UB technic :

[build prof=Warrior/Ranger][Ursan Blessing][Dismember][Critical Chop][Axe Rake][Axe Twist][Flail][Lacerating Chop][Resurrection Signet][/build]

You see that behind UB there is also other skills that goes with it and they shouldn't be forgotten.

This is written so poorly I didn't bother reading all of it; however, I would like to point out that it is entirely possible to put together builds that do not include Ursan and make decent times in the elite areas and HM dungeons. The inexperienced players who are either too lazy or too dumb to figure that out can now default to UB, which only serves to enable said players to remain lazy/dumb, and effectively makes the game less and less interesting for vetted players as the more experienced players leave the game in disgust.

To put it another way: easy=boring.

What is the point of this thread?

Fairness
Have nothing better to do but start a thread about who cares whther or not they nerf Ursan?

I ask again what is the point. If you think it is overpowered and want more of a challenge then do not use it.
If you think it is nice to have in a certain area then use it.

Anet just buffed a bunch of skills for PVE should we start complaining about those now?

I just do not get people. It is a game. It has its advantages and disadvantages. If you want to take advantage of them then do so if not STHU
