Update - Thursday August 7
I MP I
Oh and the lag with this awesome update is still here. Any ETA on when that will be fixed?

Master of Magic looks too sweet now.
So Ele's can just spec in Energy Storage and go 12 in an attribute from a secondary as well! AND have 12 in every element!
Oh, I need to explore this.
And sniper support is LOL!
EDIT: Will the GvG changes blow up the format as much as it looks? It seemed most of the top guilds just played for VoD.

Will take a while for the dust to settle after this one, new meta wont emerge for a while.

Less grind for PvE only skills is a good thing.
OMG a buff to a smite skill, they've put something in Izzy's drink or what?
Yet two smite elites (WoC and RoJ) still suck imo. Nevertheless thank you Anet and Izzy.
Nice rework on Unyielding Aura. I'll see how that goes.
Nice change to Lightbringer Signet. It's elite form made it unusable.
Better hero AI is a good thing too.
Still too early to see the effects of UB and SF.

most of the pve skills buff was a buff to increase their effectiveness at low level

The buff to SY! made my head explode.
HM will be harder...lolz.

Please Cave to the hardcore a bit more Anet and buff useless skills that are still just as fuucking useless, great facking technique you got going. Coming up, uninstall. |
Not much of a loss, nonetheless.

 But yes, it *is* a nerf to UB. Warriors can no longer abuse the skill. However, you need to only read my previous posts to know how I truly feel. |
No it was a buff to UB. The hit the wars using it but buffed it for everyone else. Outweighs the slight touch to UB that makes it a buff.

Also, I'm wondering how the new [life transfer] will work if it hexes multiple foes. Will the hex need to be removed from all enemies suffering from it to end the health regen, or just the initial target?
DarkNecrid
Very good update for PvP imo. PvE side 99% of the PvE skills just got the lower values upped, so they didn't actually "get buffed", so to speak in power level.
Winterclaw
Master of magic will set a 12+1+3 skill to 12, meaning the runes are useless and GoLE will remove it. So it's kind of meh if you aren't running a low-E prismatic build.

Don't know what people are talking about the update causing lag. I've had average of 200ms all night (normal for my network connection)

Can you say Xinrae's? Holy hell. And I'm pissed about OoU but the other buffs are MORE than enough to cancel out that one skill.

My only problem is they combatted power creep with power creep. I think PvP is dead now to be quite honest with you.

Stop with the PvE only skills getting buff whine. They did buff some of them but basically they now capped the rank system at Rank 8. Therefore, you don’t need Rank 10 to get the PvE skills to have their max effort. It killed a good amount of grind for max PvE only skills. However, remember it’s maxed at 8 Rank and not 10 Rank.

Yes the power is yours has a use now.
Assassins also get an IAS. (wait for broken builds to pop up)

WTF??? Someone, please, explain to me why this was done. What is ANets thinking behind this, because it doesn't seem to make any sense at all to me. Did people really think that PvE was too hard? |
Way of the master wasn't updated btw...

@ Thread : Can't wait to see the new situation in RA , who else agrees that 75% of players will be Way of the Assasin A/D's and Xinrae's Weapon Ritus .
Caelus The Fallen
Copy/paste error on Mesmer too, unless they really really like Fast Casting nukers...

Ebon Vanguard Sniper is now nuts.

WHY IS WOUNDING STRIKE NOT NERFED!!!!
On a side note, I'm glad to see SoM got hit.

About the only fun in the game was jumping in Ursan and racing through FOW and such. Now that they've taken that, there isn't much reason to even load the game anymore.
One less player who's going to be away from GW long enough that I'll pick something else up and not bother with GW2. Good job in losing this customer Anet

Also lol at pain of disentchantment and xinrae's weapon, they tryin to kill enchanment prots? The new "it's just a flesh wound" just screams to be put on the monks bar.
The new changed elites just smell like of new gimmick builds to be made.
About the mesmer elites and pve , the skills I liked the most are Visions of Regret and Lyssa's aura. But hoped for more though
It's not , it is just changing it's form.

But you are right: you will see a majority of people here just wanting things made easier from them. You'll see this here, in the WoW forums, in the TF2 forums, etc. But those latter two *don't* hand everything out to their players, and because they didn't do that they must be awful games, correct?
As such, if you want people to "have more fun", then we can just provide a way to turn Guild Wars into a racing game, or a puzzle game, or a farming simulator. But once you agree to all that, you'll lose what Guild Wars is, and realize how important it is to maintain meaning and integrity into your game. It's why you don't see Mass Effect with an option to take out all the RPG customization, Zelda without the puzzles, or Team Fortress 2 with a Deathmatch mode. They retain what their game is.
I could "man up" and say "wow Upier and Manitoba, you're right. ANet no longer cares about their game", but I don't think it should be something to be proud of.

I tested OoU with Carniae, and I can confirm it's an utter piece of trash. The most DPS you'll get out of it is 70ish...and a full minion army can do waaaaay more than that.
A big Death Nova bomb might work, but it's too technical.
I'm tempted to make a Warrior just to cheese through Hard Mode, though,
PS: Vampiric Spirit is broken in Arenas. Vampiric Spirit + Blood Renewal = invincibility.

IS Ursan really dead? I sure it might still work.... It might take a little ... SKILL? Idk im sad that my UW HM SC running is over since im an HB monk and they have no more need for those..
Hugh Manatee
So about master of magic, do runes and headgear affect the "set at 12" or will that lower your atts?
