I've been wondering this. Why does no one use Volfen Blessing or Raven Blessing?
[Volfen Blessing][Raven Blessing]

Is it because they are annoying to use?
Is it because they just suck?

Anyone want to explain?

because ursan is way more overpowered than the other two.

Because Ursan is overpowered *due to extra armor and the kd*. I personally prefer to use the Volfen Blessing if any blessing. Neither the Volfen nor the Raven blessings suck, well maybe the Raven does, but Ursan outdoes those two by a long shot in popularity due to the need for a nerf that won't come.

Ursan can knocklock with enough people.

Ursan also has 150 armour-ignoring damage, every 3 seconds if you're not using Consumables. And Weakness for 66% EXTRA damage mitigation against physical damage.

Ursan is just two or three notches better than the other two. And because Anet doesn't care about balance in PvE. At all.

I use raven from time to time, simply because i love the animation for it. *drools over animation*

The other blessings pale in comparison to Ursan.

I think that the Volven synergizes quite well with Ursan. And having a Raven standing with the monks or other casters can provide them with good defence and deals decent ranged dmg.

Personally I would like to see a party with 1 UB 1 Volven 1 Raven and a more normal back line of casters/ranger/monks.

But then why would an ele want to be an ele when he can be a war with ursan!

Crazy world where monks heal, warriors fight and mages cast spells, eh?

Because with Ursan you slash down a pair of blue bear footprints in your target's face.

Oh and because it's overpowered.

Since you hate doing your job, try re-rolling a warrior?

OP: read up on what they do, and it's obvious why Ursan is popular.

I see... a thread lock in the future...

this isn't an "ursan QQ" thread. I'm just asking why the other 2 aren't used as often.

read my original post before you +1.

good point on tanking.

and every thread that mentions Ursan becomes a QQ thread. Read the forums.

I've always liked Volfen Blessing more than Ursan or Raven, but I rarely ever use them except when they're needed for the EotN primaries.
