Shadow Form's duration will be changed to 12 seconds. ^_^
(yup, that's my guess)



...but really though, I don't see anything significant changing this week.

I'm expecting another event of neglecting nerfs to Shadow Form, Cry of Pain, and just about every other PvE-only or PvE-split skill that's making PvE stupidly simple.

Why do people keep mentioning SF as if anything will ever happen? From what I understand SF has undergone many changes and the last time SF was nerfed it was for the last time. The End.

PS..Get over it already

That thing is so cool. But you must either love (or hate) Rangers.

Thats pretty good.

But seriously WHO CARES! Even if there is a update all the people here that says WE NEED MORE SKILL BALANCES will still exist and never go away. People will always QQ about skills and their uses. If they nerf one of your favorite skills you can thank all the people who QQ and started threads about skills on this forum.

ranger is on there just like every other profession. the flaw would be how he has them lined up across from each other so ranger for example is on top and bottom and can only be nerfed since the areas are both black.

Given Anet's past track record of hit or miss nerfs, probably nothing of importance that needs adjustment will get what it deserves, and things that don't need anythign will get a retarded buff to make them overpowered.

rofl, a thread about skill update, and all you can see is pve scrubs talking about sf and pve skills once again

please don't turn this thread into another "QQ nerf sf (or sy or cop) plz anet"


more seriously, I heard a few things about the upcoming pvp skill balance, and all I can say is that Izzy is still as useless as ever

- some dumb skill balances ([protective was kaolai],[word of healing],[aegis])
- some good things everybody has been asking for months ([foul feast], blood spike will become "prot-able"...)
- under or over nerfs ([warrior's endurance] will be a stance = bye bye, [lingering curse] reduced to 20% = very nice as monks will be nerfed once again)
- maybe random buffs

[seeking blade] will be buffed so that it deals +50 damage, and inflicts bleeding, deep wound, and cripple, in that order, if it hits.

No joke.

believe what I wrote or not, I don't give a damn

as ignorant as you may be, maybe you should know that Izzy has a forum to discuss about skill balances with a few players, what I wrote is just rumors spread by those players

what's surprising is that we still have such shitty skill balances, although some real players are able to tell Izzy how bad they are BEFORE they actually take place...

Actually I was thinking left side = buff, right side = nerf, and since Ranger is in the middle it could go either way. Never really paid attention to the colors lol.

because that forum has just as many idiots on it giving worthless advice while not having a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing clue either. When the information you are given is garbage, your update will also be garbage.

This is a task for future content update.

In my opinion this: [skill]distortion[/skill].

As ignorant as I may be, I'm still smart enough to know that Izzy is no longer doing the skill balances.

So it seems you guys can't handle discussing skill balancing.
