UA requires decent positioning now.

All I have to say is at least UA is better than when it started. Still would've liked a larger range (like half-radar or radar range), but that's life.
The Red Messenger
order of underneath lol
no more super minion...
i never tested it, but i ran into it in random arenas. was funny to watch at least

lol UA is still an amazing skill it works like healers boon in that it buffs healing its a 1/4 cast rebirth that DOESNT recharge skills or kill energy on top of that full health/energy? you dont find that still EXTREMELY viable?

Put your camera on the hero and run them close to the portal at the end of the area where you want to be. 5. Switch the camera back to your dead body. 6. Cancel UA. You spawn at the hero. It works because heroes didn't seem to trigger mobs like players do. |

Second update I hear will cause Thomis not to pull to wall. Goodbye VS-Farming.
HawkofStorms
I'm glad they removed the oozes and rats. Was starting to get annoying. No need to advertise GW:EN anymore with those things. It was like leaving the christmas decorations up until June.

Decent update, I like the Mind Blast change

Aww, qq at Unyielding Aura. It was fun while it lasted! Still, it's not that bad to get a party member instantly up right after they've fallen. Two UA hero monks working off each other still isn't bad at all in HM.
And, not being in HA, the energy boosts for elementalists is appreciated. More energy for Searing Flames.
I'm also glad they've finally made that little change to Ursan Force. It wasn't that big a deal, but it didn't make much sense the way it was set up.

If you continued to do it, ghost running would still work to the extent that you could run the hero from point A to point B as desired. The only change was to UA, which means you can't res your dead body from opposite corners of the map.
If mobs triggered on heroes' appearances, HFFFing would be dead too.

Ua nerf :P well, knew that was gonna come, new montly tonic sucks imo
Winterclaw
I don't have a complaint about the changes they made. However it would have been nice if they updated some of the unused non-elites as well.

There are still plenty of Elites that are snoozetastic. Kinda sad to see Unyeildig get nurfed. Will make CoF runs slightly less insanely easy. |

byebye UA :'(

whats the new tonic?
zwei2stein
[email protected] now people will use it again (or will they?) and be wonderful high-end minion masters.
Mouse at Large
Nice update. At last Anet have cottoned on to what we have known for ages - Energy Storage as a primary was meh.
Make more Ele skills effects linked to ES

UA is capable in rezzing two party members to full life/EN in under five seconds for a cost of 5EN. Also allows an extra skill in bar since it functions as a res. It has it's benefits.
Turbobusa
Very, very good update.
Altho there used to be a 10% sacrifice triggering masochism, in a weird way it cost less before.

Also, UA = Rebirth? Hardly. Full health and energy still and a QUICKER RES TIME than Rebirth. If you're good, you can run in, pull UA, and back out in any situation that's possible to be recovered from.
It'll still be on my Monk's bar. It's no longer imbalanced but it's still a solid skill. Would radar range be nice? Sure, but the skill is not dead unless you're one of those folks who stop using a skill because of the nerf, regardless of the nerf.
Order of Undeath revert is all sorts of win. Thank you.
N1ghtstalker
okay so i'm at school and had a chance to look better at it
i like order of undeath now, it's better now
master of magic is kinkeh, gonna use it sometimes lol
glowing gaze and all those others = hawt
and i haz my mind blast back <3
'n well
i'm just glad i finally got meh prediction points so when i come home i'll rapidly jump on the pc and get em!

I will still use UA for 16 DF divine healing+heavens delight builds.
Rezzing people wile on the moon was ridiculous.

Um I don't know why you guys say UA rezzes at full energy, from my tests it rezzes at the energy the person has before they died. But okay whatever.
Kills a couple good ways to make money, since some of us have Assassins in our guild that die more than survive while VS running.
Don't really care about anything else.

The Ele skill changes could go both ways. Clone skills is just lazy, and though very usefull, do eles really need more energy management? |
I like it, i hated to play fc snare :+, or to play dom mesmer against a fc snare.
Sleeper Service
OoU is back to its original thats cool...its good to have seen them try something drastically different though.
personally i think that it should affect all minion allies...or even all undead within earshot. *shrugs*

is it just me or has this update been deployed really early?

But that could be just wishful thinking. Either way I'm pretty happy with Tourney Points and some of the skill updates.

boring update

ain't that bad now i've seen it closer on a real size pic
it's different
Mangione
Quite nice update.
Only thing I don't like is the UA change.
The range was too big before the update, now is too small...
Radar Range (just for PVE) would be good.

Been doing some testing with UA cause I thought that casting distance was the aggro ring but having a dead buddy at the rings edge won't rez.
+1 vote to make it within radar range. It sure was overpowered but now it's range seems hard to pick when your trying to use it.
The other skill changes.... Never used them so no comment.

Good update. For the ele improved energy management (also when not running fire), and UA was stupidly broken and needed a nerf.
EDIT: /unsigned for radar range for UA, it'd still allow abuse. Maybe spirit range.
