Some points she raised..

Urasn Blessing is being looked at in regards to skill balance.

No time frame for the new HoM implamented.

Justification of SF nerf. And devs still looking at it due to it nerfing alot of other builds (sig of disenctanment).

Fav color is blue

She has to level up just like anyone.

Skill balance from last months torunements will be impletmented next week

Dervish female bow armor clipping isnt being looked at...she said Urasn is there piority.

Ursan Blessing is her top pioirty (can screnie if wanted)

Judging by their previous dev updates (They said they were looking at Ether Renewal and Shadow Form, of which the latter was nerfed), there's a 50/50 chance of an Ursan nerf.

Ursan: Mmmkay. Haven't they been looking at it for ages?

HoM: No one knows when. Great! Plenty time to get an armbrace for myself and sell the rest

SF Nerf: Maybe they DID go too far by nerfing in the Chaos Planes, but I can understand it. After all they'll see how badly it affected it.

Fav color, leveling up: Why I don't attend those things. People spam useless questions all over the place... lawl @ leveling up question...

Female derv bow animation: Might be annoying but I'm pretty sure they have other priorities. 'Cause Ursan, IMO, still isn't their top priority. It'd have been fixed before SF was.

I think you are mistaken. Read some SF threads because a lot of farm builds got hit but the A/E are still farming the Chaos Planes. They just have a few opponents less to kill. I still got 6 ecto's from my first run this morning.
If they change something they will actualy HIT the chaos planes this time and recheck other farmbuilds.

She said quite a few times that it is...she said a couple of devs are looking at it right at this moment as she was talking to us.

Alot of people were asking about this that and the other in regards to balance, but all she kept saying was Ursan was at the top of there list atm

oh boi...A-net's swinging the nerf-bat like crazy this month. Are they gonna have UB deal 50% less damage as well? Not like we won't find a way around it, like we did for SF. So w/c, its fun to see how well the PVE community can oneup A-net and show how resilient PVEers are in getting things done. Just look at the new plains build. Stilla s good as the old one, even if there are less mobs to kill.

Doesn't matter if ursan gets nerfed. The other two blessing are still just as nice. Hell, I love the raven blessing. Blinding all my enemies is 10x better than weakening them, imo.

lol 85% of all fleeting sheep will say their favorite color is blue :P It's not just you 2 XD

I never ursan-ed, so I am hoping this supposed nerf will get rid of all this "R10 Ursan needed for such-and-such no non-ursans allowed!!!111one"

Green > Blue

I think +1 second on paw and +5 seconds on Roar and Rage would be enough.

I doubt ursan is going to get nerfed, and I'm not surprised that they don't know when the HoM update is going to be. Skill balance seems pretty late, too.

Back off, Regina is my soul mate. I think Lemming's favorite color is blue, you and him can hit it up.

I thought that the monkies in Ursan team were normal HB healers?
For general PvE though - Aegis doesn't have a target - and resto spells also aren't enchantments.
So yeah - I am guessing that there is a high chance that they implement a "fix" like that.

Make all ursan skills attacks, not touch skills, so it can be blocked, and damage reduced by anti-attack skills.

Make ursan remove effects of all primary attributes.

Make ursan strip all shouts, enchants, stances and echoes once activated (but not prevent).

Make ursan give you a base health, armor, and energy, so no class has an advantage.

Make weapon mods disabled during Ursan blessing.

Maybe just the first change should be made. Any more than that and people will just run normal builds instead.

A nerf if I may say so would be nice , it would decrease the speed of clearing elite areas , give more counters and disable exploiting the skill mechanic.

The ideal thing would be that , less experienced groups would run ursan ,while those more experienced would clear it with normal skills. That would also require a little "buff" to normal builds.

Only the first is an actual nerf.

The rest are exploit/bug fixes.

But yes...please Regina. Get the devs to look into those points.

Ursan already got nerfed.

Nerfing it again would be ludicrous. That would just bring back class discrimination where all non-core classes have zero chance of ever getting into a party for DoA, Urgoz, the Deep etc. etc.

^ This is a myth. Dervishes were often used as tanks in DoA pre-Ursan. Ritualists were used as nukers instead of elementalists (both were terribad but Rt was probably less terribad.) Paragons were used by all teams that actually had a brain.

Maybe sometimes in DoA but by the inherent stats of the game Warriors are judged to be still way better for that role so were still the preference that was went with the vast majority of the time.

Besides, DoA is just one area. Try getting into Urgoz or the Deep with a Derv, pre-Ursan. Completely impossible.

Knowing Anet I wouldn't be shocked at all at an Ursan buff, followed by a HoM being easier to farm for GW2 buff. I'm not saying its going to happen...I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked at all if it did.

If they buff it i would go upstairs put a bag of pop corn in the Microwave, and sit here and just read all Crybabies and LOL while not posting, because i don't want to pissed them off since they would be on Suicide watch.

As it looks, it'll be November before the HoM changes will be made and the next skill balance has been mentioned.

Other than that, I could care less about Ursan, Shadow Form and the Underworld.

Agreed, try getting into any of the elite areas pre-ursan as an Assassin... heck, even at ToPK where sins had the 'option' of getting into B/P groups they were only taken as a last resort assuming there was no Ranger in sight.
