My friend and I made a 10k bet. The bet was,

Me: Protective bond was nerfed because it didn't end after you hit 0 energy. Thus allowing easy farming.

Friend: Protective bond always ended after 0 energy and was never nerfed. It was always a bad skill.

I guess you owe your friend 10k.

It ended at 0 energy like it does now. And it wasn't always a bad skill.

Another reason for the nerf(according to Izzy) was that the skill could cause a server crash under certain rare circumstances.

i tend to believe that the server crashing bug was the main reason for the functionality change. farmers, don't flatter yourselves by saying it was nerfed to kill your farming builds. anet rightly doesn't give a shit about you.
