Just a general question/query really as to when you guys and girls think the next skill upfate will be. i know the have updates every month with new tonics, but is there a scheduled mass skill update around the corner at all? Could you shed any light on this?

I'm particularly looking forward to possible Ritualist skills getting altered, plus a certain PVE skill. You know the one.

im waiting for a shitload of skills to be useful again
[wastrel's collapse] yes plox
and i never really understood the use of [quicksand]
maybe to annoy others but it sure as sh*t ain't something useful for bringing along
and about [ursan blessing], i don't care, i used it for what i needed it for, for my Legendary master of the north title
for the rest i don't care what happens to it but i don't think it will be broken, PvE skills are always a bit overpowered then normal skills, that's why they are PvE, so i think ursan may be limited in it's power but still deliver a good damage output

There was a massive thread created by members of the Guru community that detailed how to fix/balance an extreme majority of the unused skills in GW (we're talking hundreds of skills), and Anet didn't do anything about it. I seriously doubt they're ever going to have large scale skill balances. A few skills will change at tonic time each month, but thats it.

If you really want to know an exact date, I'd have to say the first thursday of August. And apperently there WILL be a massive elite overhaul for the August update, but aNet has a habit of disappointing when they promise. I don't even think ursan will be touched till at least september, if not later. <_<

Anet are currently testing changes to [[Ursan Blessing] to make it more tactical and they are also focusing on the less used elite skills.

Quote:
We are currently testing changes to Ursan Blessing and PvE-only skills. One of the goals is to balance Ursan such that players can still use it as long as they do so in a tactical way. Another goal is to alter the grind currently associated with many PvE-only skills. Additionally, we are adjusting a number of underpowered and rarely used elite skills. Depending on how testing goes, some or all of these changes may be released as soon as next month

i predict after the mAT, its a bit unfair changing skills right before a huge tournament
