Searing Flames (PvP)
Energy = 5, recharge = 1
This skill now does over 9000 damage
Aegis (PvP)
Energy = 5, recharge = 5
Nobody on your team takes damage for the next 30 seconds.
Something like that

buff to some pve skills
nerf of some key well used balanced skill
random buff to a mesmer elite noone will ever use
they are probably busy working on the next big update, which is due in X months so no time for balance!

I have my hopes this may be the big update we've been waiting for.
ANET had a hella' tight schedule in the past two months and it must be kept in mind how much of a small team it is.
However, now they should have had their free time. I'm interested to see how it goes and what kind of Buffs there are
I hope that if they do nerf RoJ though, that they only do it as a PvP skill. Otherwise it will totally ruin the current meta and fun we have in PvE with that skill.
Still, if they don't hype anything, don't get excited.

Yeh a real tight schedule, what with pathetic skill updates and GW2 parties every wednesday, I mean give them a break...

I'm expecting Shadow Form and RoJ to see no changes.
Copy-paste to future months.

They'll forget about ritualists as usual.
"random unnecassary elemantalist buff" - that's a good one
unfortunately true enough :/

My best guess with one elite per profession, given recent skill updates:
Dwarven Battle Stance changed to 33% IAS with 50% KD chance on skills for 9001 seconds
Magebane Shot will disable any skill it hits
Withdraw Hexes will transfer all hexes to caster and shorten duration by 90%
Order of the Vampire will stack with all other necro enchants
Hex Eater Vortex will remove a hex from all allies in the area
Second Wind will remove all Exhaustion and buff Ele attributes by 3
Temple Strike lowered to 5e and unblockable
Tranquil was Tanasen will also grant immunity to conditions and hexes
Anthem of Guidance will scale skills from 1...4

Hm... let's se...
[wishful_thinking]
- Fix AI to detect RoJ as AoE. If monsters leave Dragon Breath + Mark of Rodgort they should leave RoJ.
- Change in Shadow Form functionality.
- Something done to Spawning Power to be useful for more than just more health in creatures and weapon spells, for example, armor penetration for elemental damage spells (nothing extreme, something in the lines of 0..5..7% armor penetration).
- More PvP/PvE division in areas of effect. Make some PvE skills have wider areas than in PvP, that is, more things like the Fragility change.
[/wishful_thinking]
And, as always, more buffs to elementalists and nerfs to the rest! And this is not a wish, you know this WILL happen, and I LIKE it! Yay! XD

I seriously doubt there will be any skill updates whatsoever in June. :-P

Move distortion to energy storage,so elementalists can have their secondary back.

Arenanet is going to set a Guild Wars record in rehashing skills. Why even bother at this point ?
Wish Swiftdeath
In all seriousness: Hopefully a small nerf to hexes in general.
Xsiriss
To be honest i'd rather see alot more powerful stuff than total nerfs, it would shift the metas and liven things up for a bit...
Zahr Dalsk
ritualists will get neglected again
White Lies
Nerf to shadow stepping when the solution is easy, nothing done to ritualist, pointless elementalist buff, smiters boon nerfs, 'sorry guys GW2'.

Personally, I'd like to see imbalanced skills even more imbalanced.
Just make SF last like an hour so there is no need to reapply.
Make RoJ remove all enchants with each pulse, increase damage, and make it poison daze and bleed.
Players may now carry all full PvE only skills bar
etc.
etc.

I love all the pessimists and sarcastic posters in this thread lol
but honestly
id love to see something done with rits Sp, it makes me hate my ritualist now
something done with the gawd awful tatics line
moving CoP to mesmers fast casting
and i'd absolutely love to see a new bad ass set of armor for each profession

Most likely 1-2 skills from the Rit and paragon lines will get buffed, but the classes themselves (or their mechanics) won't be balanced. 
I vote for an all Rit and Paragon update one of these months. That would sort of make up for being ignored all this time.

Helix Dreadlock
Warrior's Endurance now gives you a Gift of the Traveler when it ends. Tiger stance turns you into a wolf, Patient spirit gives you +3 manner points after it ends. Executioner's strike is now a 1-hit ko, Assassin's Promise now gives you a third profession. Ex. W/Mo/A.
AnClar
And let's not forget yet another random Ranger nerf.....just because they can!
Fubo
Make Spawning Power usefull

Starting in with the June update every Tuesday is going to be called "ALL ELITE TUESDAY" You will be able to carry 8 elites across all 10 professions and make the most uber of uber builds.
Let the QQing begin.
BTW... Anet forgot to tell you that all the mobs get the exact shutdown build for your bar too. +200% speed buff and casting/recharge buff... Infinite energy and health.

I am hoping that instead of nerfing things in pointless ways they just make more things viable. The way to balance isn't to take away the flavor of the day it is to make it so the flavor of the day is good but it isn't the only flavor. This doesn't mean power creep this means giving answers to problems and creating alternatives, not just another unbalanced skill that gets nerfed next month.
