New aegis - same cost and recharge for 3 seconds of invincibility on a single target (15e, 30r for PVP right?).

Old Aegis - 50% block for all your party members.

Am I really missing the logic behind why Aegis just had to be ruined for PVP?

Wouldnt the new version work better as a replacement for [divine intervention] instead of Aegis?

I dont care if you just think I am QQ'ing and whining, but Anet just fricking destroyed Aegis!!!??? WHY???

4 years of having 50% party block used in PVP suddenly gone.

<--- Upset. I used to <3 [Aegis].

Yes, you are missing the point. They are giving some paragons love again. [defensive anthem] will be worth it again.
Stop QQing, look at all sides of the game before you open your mouth.

This is either great comic sarcasm, or your head was just hit with a large and heavy hammer.

Aegis in its previous form was, and always will be too powerful due to its ability to have a 2/3 upkeep party wide guardian. They nerfed it to this so it would provide some alternate utility, as opposed to being smiters booned which was the other option.

Care to keep your QQ in one place? I'm sure it makes it easier for the Mod's to mop up.

Basically this, be happy it still provides a service at all.

Because IWAY and Ranger spike have always been weak against Aegis right?

Anyway, thanks for the Aegis nerf, guess I can start playing IWAY again for a joke.

I would have always considered Aegis to be just as important as Prot Spirit is, and I really cannot understand why anyone would think that destroying the skill is a good thing at all.

Seems to me that people who play this game will just accept every skill breaking change that Anet make.

Next nerf - Prot Spirit to be increased to 25 energy cost and reduced to 5s duration .

Anet screws the game up more and more with each skill "balance", coming here about it will only get a bunch of guru kiddies to spam acronyms at you like "QQ" cause they're just super cool cats.

Note: By super cool i mean typical, whiny, arrogant, and pretentious -- don't you know you can't express any dismay whatsoever about anything and have a serious discussion about it? Not on these forums, at least.

It is done like this:
1.- First, try alternatives.
2.- If you can't ask others.
3.- If no one find alternatives after the change, it's time to complain.
A few seconds after the update only shows fear of change.
Change is good. Embrace it!

Why? He made a great point.

Isnt this forum meant to be for discussing a game called Guild Wars, and that means being able to discuss skill changes?

The Aegis nerf has just taken the complete mickey out of the people who play this game, I really cant understand how anyone can be happy with this change, as previously said now we are just going to have IWAY and Ranger spike abused like crazy again.

Yes but this isn't a discussion is it? You and I both know your just looking for people to agree with you and march in your QQ brigade. Besdies theres already a thread for "discussing" the new update. Try there.

No. This forum is for suggestions for the game. Your thread is mostly just qq-ing with the only suggestion being "OMG REVERT IT NOW" which isn't even really a suggestion. Head to Riverside if you want to complain.
