UPDATE - August 6th, 2009

This pet buff applies only to pve. PVP pet skills and pet damage/damage resistance remains the same.

HB weekend is going to suck 3x Pcakhutes with buffed pets ugh

Correction:
The most overpowered class in the game.

Huge damage, utility, aoe, prot, knockdown, interrupts, spears, scythes, daggers, they have it all but healing!

Masochism: functionality changed to: "For 10..40 seconds, you have +2 to your Death Magic and Soul Reaping attributes and sacrifice 5..3% of your maximum Health when you cast a spell."
doomspike?
DOOMSPIKE
please let someone make doomspike possible again.

I'm happy about every one of the bug fixes but the 3rd one.

Tactics still needs a buff and it would have been nice to see one with all the other skill changes.

I know that. The person I quoted said it's a shame that pets only got buffed in PvE, which is why I made the post.

Stop trolling, please.

Great pve update for the rangers. Too bad the pve'rs finished the game two years ago.

pve only sorry no pvp its stillthe same

as for hb with pets its only apve update

You are right - 4 elites used in PvP/PvE (Evi, BB, ES, DShash), whole line nerfed to hell for years (Tactics), ignored by AI in PvE, lower dmg for single target then assassin, lower AoE dmg then Dervish, useless as second profession (due to stance nerfs even monks rejected this class as secondary), easier to disable then casters (blind/weakness/empathy/parasite/blocking etc)... this list is much longer.

My mistake :X also yeah, it's true that this update focuses almost only on pve. My sympathies to the pvp community

Actually they do have healing. Healing Signet, anyone?

Also, if you are implying skills such as Dolyak Sig and WY are prot, you might just want to take a summer class in Guild Wars 101.

Warriors are designed to do big damage, KD, and every core class can carry utility. Warrior AoE sucks (lolcycloneaxe). Warriors can't prot shit, unless you count Defy Pain, but then you do shit for damage. The only decent interupts warriors have are Savage and DChop. Warriors using off profession weapons suck.

The lack of Lightning Reflexes nerf/revert makes me sad. Rangers were already unspikable when they ran natty+troll if you weren't retarded, now you can be retarded and still be unspikable.

Seed of Life BUFFED? lol!

They nerfed Melshot but they didn't nerf Mind Blast

lol

I think you are missing the point where is is SINGLE TARGET now, correct me if I'm wrong

EDIT: Apparently I'm wrong NVM, IT ROCKS NOA

Yeah, that was my reaction too. Apparently it wasn't powerful enough.

But hey, ANet hit it on the dartboard, so it had to be buffed!

Continue ignoring the issues at hand (maintainable invincibility, elite areas being completed in <20 minutes) and keep using power creep as a solution to fix the already horrible PvE gameplay and design.

I hope you didn't just post that.

Hundred Blades + Whirlwind Attack says hi.

You missed the point. War have no AoE? Earth shaker says hi. No Prot? War have 80 armor, 96 armor with shield, 116 armor vs physical. They can also protect your squishy by going rush + bull the guy training your backline. No Interrupt? Dchop is extremely good, just take a look at Disrupting stab and you will see the difference. Also, since when does KD not count as interrupt? Bull -> Shock -> Dchop, easiest spike + shutdown ever.

Fixed SoS spirits....im happy
