Linsey just responded on her talk page on wiki, and apparently the R/A nerf is happening tomorrow...which I guess means the update is tomorrow as well (no surprise there).
Here's the link: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedb...ANGER_ASSASSIN (scroll to the bottom of the section).
Glad to see they're finally doing this. Escape R/D's and R/A's need to go byebye. Hopefully, they just make Escape end on attack and they don't do anything rash.
R/A Nerf Set for Tomorrow (and probably the update)

We've known that the skill balance was going to be tomorrow for at least a week, and we've had a pretty good sense of what's needed changing for a while now.

Hallelujah. About time R/A build was nerfed. Now most people without a brain won't be playing Random Areans anymore.
Another thing that needs a nerf though; is Shovespike. (well, just the skill Shove imho)

Once that's nerfed, there will be more to nerf. Nerfing has no end until you just equip all classes with identical feather pillows and assign victory to whoever manages to play longest without going to sleep.

I guess they could make expertise only apply to ranger skills 
that would remove all the builds that exploit the loophole.

Is this the R/A build everyone is hoping gets nerfed?
BTW, just bring a wild strike sassi to stop escape or mirrored stance. Or a mesmer or necro.

also the cheerleading for nerfs exists because power creep makes the game more about which overpowered skills you run instead of how you play the game. less powerful skills require more decision making and lead to a more interesting game (from a pvp standpoint. pve is about feeling like a god and should have more powerful skills with laser beam animations and explosions).

The past few times anet has ever buffed stuff it's been bad for the game.
So yeah that's why noone asks for buffs.

@ArlanKels - Most people in FA don't know how to play, they attack through empathy, they eat diversion every time, etc, etc. Whats good and bad in FA is not a good measure of game balance.
@N1ghtstalker - If you have been on these forums any reasonable amount of time you would realise the many threads made by people who want certain skills buffed.

No really, they are easy to kill with the right build i agree with that. I heard diversion was a non elite btw. Yes.
But also... :breath: they are annoying with the wrong build.

half of anet's nerfs are just plain stupid and other just destroy the skill so it won't be used ever again e.g. smiters boon

They will lengthen the recharge of death blossom. Another useless solution. Buff jagged, fox and nerf a completely other skill. GG anet!

Because you don't understand GvG. FA is not pvp its pve...
Now a serious question to myself. Why am I arguing with PvE players who think they understand and good at PvP? I am an idiot I know

Anyway is tomorrow's build the big one or just regular?

Keep it chilled all.
And to the above^, i think it's just a regular skill update, but someone correct me if im wrong.

I'm glad this (R/A's) is going to be taken care, hopefully decisively without the template still being viable in one fashion or another. Unfortunately these types of metas seem to have a permanent negative impact on the remaining PvP player base, i.e. players having their "last straw" moment and quitting for good. Guess we'll see what happens with a whopping nine days until mAT.

Oh the days back in '05, '06 when if an update was released and was found to be broken or resulted in a hindrance regarding gameplay balance, the next day it was altered.
