Okay, now I know 80% of this thread will be flames. (75% of it due to my reputation), but I'm going to say it anyways

At first, when I started, I thought UB was nice, since it was PvE only. Then I got to thinking on the updates made by Anet and how PvP gets alot of complainers (which is a good AND bad thing), I was wondering, why is there no UB nerf? Just wondering. I mean, one elite skill that takes up 95% of PvE? This is the reason I don't PvE. It's too easy. Get r10 Ursan or w/e the max is, and you win PvE with 5 other ursans and 2 monks. I might start playing if there was a nerf to UB or if it was removed (which I KNOW won't happen). UB just makes everything too easy. Either that, or limit its usage to the EoTN areas, as suggested somewhere else.

You just gotta live with it.
Alas, A-Net needs to cater to the people who suck too much at PvE to not be able to beat it, so they made Ursan for the idiot majority.

It's been debated to death already, and it's really up to A-Net whether they want to have this big 'WIN' button in their game or not.

So... ibtl, +1 etc. etc.

wasn't the whole point of splitting up skill sets catering towards the idiots that need UBERSTRONGSTUFFS to succeed in PvE ? And you expect them to nerf the nr.1 "I WIN" button ? lol, sure ...

FoW was already stupidly easy before UB, (B/P comes to mind). Now it's just even more easy.

Personally, I can't be bothered with the Elite Area's after I've cleared them once, other than for farming purposes. And if I'm farming, the run should be as fast as possible, so I'll join an Ursan group.

During other PvE escapades I'll use the build I've been using for over 2 years now, complemented with some nifty heroes builds. You know, I have the ability to choose whether I use Ursan or not.

This might be 1000nd thread of the same topic.

On the otherhand it's not bad that people keeps whining about this one skill which killed the whole idea of the game.

The bad thing here is that nothing is going to be done about it.

UB is a great skill and it speeds up everything and i'm happy that it exists as i can do some of the biggest pains in game much easier

but i never use it in UW/FoW/DoA

i rather wait to team up with friends than with ursan

i dont mind ursan...

all i mind is all the people at don't like challenges

If you think UB made PVE so easy, thats you own personal problem, you can go find something else to fit yourself, but gotta think about other players that PVE and like UB, let them have their own world.

I knew someone will come up with this moronic "argument".

Using this kind of logic only a retard would use, even Sig of Ghostly Might was okay, because you didn't have to use it if you didn't like it.

Anet made ursan because the throngs of noobs decided that Hard Mode shouldn't be Hard.

Ooo how about, they make ursan blessing unavailable in hardmode

so ursan can have their "fun" running around hitting things, but to make hard mode truely hard, diasable norn blessings?

probs wouldnt work, it has up and downsides for both sets of players.

Damn, as if this OP hadn't cluttered OT enough, (s)he now floods crap in here.

We knows UB deserves a nerf. We knows it hasn't got one. We knows this a long time ago.

There already was a UB nerf. Not that it needed it.

UB is fine as is, and always was fine as is. Don't like it, then don't use it. Any semi-sane skill bar is easy to steamroll any area of GW with and just as epic as Ursan is.

There have also been a few billion "nerf Ursan" threads already. Doesn't need a whole 'nother new one to go over this again.

UB = evil. It defeats the point of having a skill bar. Who needs to think about a build, just hit UB and button mash your way to the dark side.

I don't use ub because I don't need it. I also don't pug. UB has not affected my game so I don't care.

Those that pug I feel sorry for you because in ToA you will see things like this:

UB is here to stay but I avoid it now because if I want to go an elite area my wife and I will take heroes. All I can say is join a guild that does elite areas without using UB. If you are pugging I would use GLF 4 ursans, R8, R9, and R10 as a hint as what group not to join.

i use ursan on my ele only cuz she's titlegrinder
but all of my other chars don't have UB nor the rank for it to work decently
it's just something to make PvE more accessable to other people
love it or hate it

What, didn't understand the part with Sig of Ghostly Might? I'm not even bother to explain, either you don't want to understand it, or you are too stupid. Either way, it's a waste of time.

Don't waste time on idiots, Sephir. People don't understand that this isn't an offline game where cheats are ok and getting everything the easy way is good too.

The old bugged Signet of Might (which was later fixed and renamed to Signet of Ghostly Might). It did exactly as it does now (bonus damage only for summoned creatures), except it could target anyone. Hence the common 'after x seconds, target foe dies' comments about it.

1) This is pretty much an ursan rant, not a suggestion
2) There are over nine thousand other ursan rant threads around
3) Closed
