Perfect.
Every single update brings the game towards my idea of how GW should be.
I can finally go to Japanese districts to bother them like clueless tourist.

Lol, yes of course. And I've triple checked my Guild Wars account name is entered correctly. Just my bad luck. Good thing is I don't really care about virtual points, feel bad for anyone that does.

Well, considering most of my 'Sin builds use the same attribute spread (12+1+1 Dagger, 8 Critstrikes, rest go in whatever) I guess I can reallocate (is this a word? 
) my attribute points to fit the new BB. (?)

What was the reason for the FGJ! nerf this time? (This coming from someone who only does AB/Fort Aspy)

So what was the necessity of removing the delay in rezing? It made rezing a runner a little safer to have the delay but it hardly seems like it was being abused. It's not like you could rez them clear across the map like you could with UA.

The only "exploit" I can think of is overpopulating rooms in The Deep. This is a way of getting past the aspect of exhaustion while giving each of the other rooms an extra bit of damage to make the run go faster.
That's alright, I started doing the Deep doing 3 per room...tank monk nuker each of the 3 non-exhaustion rooms, 2 SS and BiP in room 2. Let them just chill there until the three other rooms are cleared and the next aspect is killed, then go in and kill Exhaustion.

I never had a problem with Abaddons bonus mission with the npc walking to slow after the ether seals she speeds up and I rather like that part of the mission.
What was wrong with the Deathbane inscribtion?

Deathbane mod.
And if a weapon had a deathbane mod and it came from z-chest, it had no inscription slot.

I had one Ebon Falchion of Deathbane but it didn't come from a Z chest it was a drop.I changed it to shocking Falchion of Fortitude.

Oh and most importantly - it was here since Prophecies release! It wasn't just about Deathbane and inscribables, it's the way all weapons with a +dmg% vs Mobtype dropped since ever! All those Bows of Pruning and Swords of Dwarfslaying have always dropped without a dmg mod!
Has this update 'fixed' those too? No more 'clean' (after removing mods) golds for Tyria and Cantha?
I'd like a confirmation on this, I don't have time to farm or chestrun today.

There needs to be a shrine dedicated to the awesomeness of removing Iron Mist from Gadd. For a genius he was the biggest retard when it came to combat.

my ranger loves the new burning arrow... the rest of my people, not so much. the added burning time i think is excessive. ba was already the largest damage skills a ranger had already and the new burning time brought it even with the pre-last nerf incendiary. they just added a +2s recharge to that and put ba equal to what they just changed. now you burn far too long. i was on a team yesterday against a ba with serps quickness and apply and he could spread that burn/poison out on the team faster and far more efficiently than i could draw it. plus the raw damage from ba puts them at a health where you have to watch cuz dw+ a bit of damage could score a kill. insane pressure, needless to say my team (w/e earth shaker, e/rt sh/warmonger, e/me sh, and (me) monk word) lost but i blame that mostly on the other two squads leaving. 12 v 4 makes for pressure that no monk can handle but mostly from what i saw the ba did most of the hurt.

It particularly irritated people who found extremely rare skins, only to ID the items and find out that it was worthless because of the missing mod slot. For instance, there's a not-too-old thread QQ-ing about finding a no-inscription Eternal Blade from the UW chest. Ouch!

The Deathbane bug: any damage modifier inherent property was overwritten during the creation process by a damage modifier postfix. So, if your Eternal Blade dropped with a Deathbane mod it would either come with a caster inscription like +5 energy, or without any inscription at all (and without an inscription slot) and would thus be worthless. This was most prominent with supposedly inscribable items but there's some evidence that the bug had existed even before the inscription system.

I just wish they would leave my ranger builds alone! I tend to avoid the cookie-cutter-wiki builds and go for something a little more interesting to me. Incindiary arrows, as it used to be, alternated with Choking Gass and used with Needling Shot was a continual interrupt/shutdown when used with the usual interrupting shots. It was fun for me to hear the continual "chirp" of interrupted skills/spells...Then it changed. I adapted, played with it and used it with Kindle Arrows and Ignite Arrows as well as Apply Poison...finally I settled on spreading conditions (not my usual style, but I went with it). I found it fairly useful and was just getting in the hang of things...then the nerf bat...5 second recharge. It seems that every time I find a skill with some synergy with another, the good folks at ANet mash my build and say it was "over-powered" How the F*ck so? Compare damage rates with other classes and the ranger gets religated to "support" time after time...average is all regards. Sloth Hunter's Shot, Sundering Attack...If bow and arrow can't deal the damage, maybe I should pick up a hammer? .../end bitch, whine, fuss...

I wish this update had come out before that req10 emerald blade of deathbane dropped for me a few weeks ago....come to think of it that dwarven hammer I got from the halls chest 1.5 years ago also had no damage modifier on it either

Warrior * "For Great Justice!" (PvP) "For Great Justice!" (PvP): reduced duration to 8 seconds. This skill already had a separate PvP version; so this change does not affect PvE. "For Great Justice!" made it too easy to fuel adrenal skills when used with daggers, considering their double-strike capability. This was used commonly within Hero Battles to rapidly build adrenaline. We've reduced the duration to limit this interaction. |

Well seeing as HB has a ladder and (m)AT's, it's more high end than some other forms of PvP in ANet's eyes.
Anyways, backbreaker sins were also used in HA, if you didn't know. Just because they only mentioned one form of PvP doesn't mean it wasn't used in others.
