Petition to make Shiro as badass as he was meant to be

I've said this in other Sardelac posts - I'm up for anything that throws the game a curveball nowadays. They've already halfway implemented it, I would love to see stuff like this put in.

/signed for every last one of them.

I voted no...
My reasons:
1) You shouldn't add a skill just because "It's badass" and "the icon looks good" The skills Shiro has balance each other out, by making him stronger in one way but more susceptible to other things. If every skill in Guild Wars was added just because of their appearance and effect, it wouldn't be a very good game.
2) To be honest, Shiro is hard enough as it is, it can take a good few attempts sometimes to get the masters on that mission, especially with PUGs.
3) The skill itself, the skill LOOKS like it could be really fragile (not an experts diagnosis there), and there could be countless bugs that could arise making the mission nearly impossible.

Shiro is tough as it is; he shouldn't be any more difficult (Hard Mode or Normal Mode) than he already is.

No he isn't. He is a mediocre boss. Take Anti Melee. Hooray you win.

Anyone saying no clearly doesn't understand what badass means. I mean come on, badassery sells games. Clearly. Plus the icon is cool. I bet that's why they cut the skill, the icon is so cool and badass, the skill monitor explodes upon displaying it.

Shiro is cake if you're not bad.

Bugs are ment to be fixed, and 10 seconds is more than enough to wand him.

I voted no. You don't add a skill because it looks cool.

*sighs* I'm soooooooooooo sorry, Mr. Elite! I find him almost impossible (almost because I actually did beat him with my Assassin "solo"), but obviously I'm such a NEEEEEEEEEEEWB at this game. Maybe I should bow down to you.

I can't decide whether to laugh or to roll my eyes...

On Shiro: YES PLEASE. Wild Blow should not lead to victolyyy, plus it sounds more fun.

On the rest: Holy shit that all looks awesome. Sign me up for Nightmare mode, please sir.

Seeing as we've already seen more balanced and intelligent mobs in the later releases, the only way I'd be challenged at this point is from either balls-to-the-walls impossible AI or huge roadblocks.

He isn't being "Mr. Elite", he's being "Mr. Not Bad At The Game".

Seriously, Shiro is a joke of a boss and even moreso in Nightfall. Anti-melee wins against him full stop.

In NF for Shiro, all I did was kite.

Man, in retrospect that mission was soooo unepic.

I'm not "bad at the game", even if I do say so myself; I'm just not an Elite.

Ahahaha. Wtb ego.

TBH if you find Shiro almost impossible then you kinda are.

Just bring a couple of nec hereos with SV, SS and other melee hate. Also bring a derv hero with wild blow and wounding strike if you can't stop his stance yourself. Oh and bring the war hench, Storm of Swords rocks

Seriously, he's cake-pie

/signed to make him harder, I've beat him in under a minute before and probably less than 30 seconds

/signed to make him harder

/notsighed to make him harder by giving him 5x more HP than god, an AOE that does 700 armor ignoring damage, a long distance AoE multi-condition strike, and invulnerability to non-silver weapons.

I want it on record that, as I stated in a previous post, I actually did defeat him with my Assassin (I think I actually did it in Hard Mode, not 100% sure, though, but I could always give it a try; been awhile since I've played my Assassin) on my own.

All alone? That must have been hard with those "Solo Shiro" builds floating around eh? Just yanking your chain

o_O; Ironically, no. I only took advice of my guild mates for my Assassin's build; it's a Death Blossom/Moebius Strike combo build. >_>

Wait... you're telling me that a PvE sin is actually playing a Death Blossom/Moebius Strike build, and doing well?!

We've got us an avant-garde trendsetter here, folks.

I'm just playin'.

ORIGINALITYYYYYY
