GG on glowing skills update... btw...
So a mesmer should have more problems using elementalist skills than an ele but a RaO can still use scythes, axes and hammers often better than their primaries?

A clear indication of range would be nice too.

OMFG stop with QQ ?? this is discussed like for ages now!!! u are a mesmer right? u cast spells faster then a ranger!! now shut up cause every class has a unique "power" u cast fast i use less energy on skills! eles got mroe energy! monks heal even more sins do more critical hits and necros gain energy when people die!!! wats the problem!!!! why do u think soj mesmers appear? cause of the signet stuff ofc but also cause mesmers can cast them faster!! if u are jelous of the rangers CREATE ONE!

Their was no need for a nerf on UA. UA just made the game fun and saved people some time on casual play and elite missions. Now it will be left in the shadows again.

Hmmm... I KNEW I should have VS farmed a little more this week. damn you spore...

So whats the deal with glowing gaze and stuff? Is it a nerf or a buff? Lol i cant understand
idicious
I'd suggest they make UA either Compass or Spirit range, I agree it was to heavily abusable and needed to be nerfed from what it was, but now it just goes back to the useless elite box.

what i meant is that mesmer/ele needed to be nerfed because they were way better than eles with mirror of ice... and so rangers should be, maybe raising adrenaline required from all warrior skills and giving strength a % to build up adren faster (or something like that), that was not a QQ, just telling what i see. Ranger builds that involve secondary professions never get nerfed as they should be. Sorry for OT

I like this update alot. No more FC Waters (At least I assume so), Mind Blast is slightly back.
Oh, and two things. MY UNYIELDING AURA GOT FIXED BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, AND SLOTH HUNTER'S!!!
Oh, and just wondering, does VFarming still work or have they changed Jusitcar Thommis's aggro range drastically?
In short: GG!

(of course we're talking about PvP, in PvE I guess it counts as a buff since everyone probably slaps 12+1 points in it)

Ok, my turn to ask a question!
How are heroes with the new UA? I always noticed that when they went to rebirth, they'd move in closer than the edge of aggro range so I'm thinking the same for UA. Y/N?
BrettM
Fire eles have about 730 easy ways to set a foe on fire within their primary skill line. Water eles have a large number of hexes in their primary skill line. Air eles can draw on any attacking foe, though this is chancier and requires better timing than is asked of the fire or water eles. Earth eles have two disfunctional ways to cause weakness within their primary skill line. Glowstone -- and, to some extent, Shock Arrow -- are still not on an equal footing with Glowing Gaze and Glowing Ice. Meh.

I tested it... the hero won't run up and drop the enchantment to rez you. You have to pin them just at aggro range and manually drop the enchant... it's still viable I think for PvE Mid-battle rezzes. Heck I bring Mindbender and Rezchant just for that.

Best update I've seen in a long time. Anyone saying UA wasn't exploited knows that isn't true. Anet never meant for people to be able to teleport other people across the map.

Not mentioned in the OP but I am happy they fixed Master of Magic to work with all ele skills not just spells. Might even consider playing around with this one again.

They balanced Glowing Ice very nicely if anyone else noticed that out of all the PvE-drama.

It's a real shame about the UA nerf. Everyone agrees that it had to be nerfed, but this is overkill. As mentioned before, it should be changed to radar or maybe spirit range because as it is now it's nearly completely useless.

I, for one, think it's a good update, the Ghost Runner was an exploit and we all knew it as such, admit it!
The UA didn't make sense the way it was, and let's face it, with all the training the Perma's have had in the last couple of weeks, the good ones rarely die anyway.
Not a huge problem anyway: sin dies, everyone runs and suicide on the first mob - try again! Of course this doesn't work if you have a crappy Perma that dies multiple times ,- but then again, you're supposed to have a hard time if you pug with noobs!

Nice to hopefully see me/e's out of the scene a bit, annoying little things.
Could someone explain what ghost running was? Something to do with completing FoW or what?

Another sparkler update. Holds your interest for 2 minutes then it's all the same. New content ftw?

since day 1 i saw coming a UA nerf, it was way broken, i wont lie, i used it and loved it but fun things nerver last long T_T
anet gaves us a new toy and now they crush it under they feet, bb ua
and btw, i was expecting some other skill changes, buffs on useles elites etc, it seems i should not hope much for next month <_<
makosi
They made no changes to Thommis whatseoever. He still follows the permasin to the corner and they casters can still nuke him and all of his cronies to death and loot the chest.
The biggest problems now are that UA can't res the sin and the rife displacement issues. /stuck is not a solution, it's a cheap workaround. Budget server usage is to blame.
I suggest removing body-blocking and relic running until it's fixed.

Anet lets us have a moment of fun then snatches it away again. It's funny hundreds moaned at Ursan yet it took them ages to nerf it, yet we find something enjoyable that nobody moans at and it is gone in an instant.
