I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Assassins suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced...

Lawl. About time though, really.

There were no planned updates for Mesmers in PvE in this update.

You should not be bitching about Power Block being nerfed in PvE in addition to PvP when the voiced majority of you have already argued about how awful disables and interrupts are in PvE anyways. You didn't use Power Block in PvE before (if you had any mind of what you were doing), and you're not going to use it now.

Thread needs locked immediately. The update is out, discuss it in the update thread.

Now we get to see all the petty, vindictive, spite-driven wankers ranting on with their obligatory:

"Ha ha, u perma's are teh sux, nyah nyah!!"

So pathetic. It's done and dusted, so how bout we move along and put our heads together and find something else OP and tasty.

This is my personal summary of the opinions post-nerf:

Newer Players: "Skroo u anet, u dun took all mah loots away!!"
Older Players: "TYTYTYTY!!" "I was already richer than I needed to be, now I'm more rich than I ever dreamed of being, so again, TY!!"

Meh. Life goes on, and so does GW. Back to the building boards.

Had to rework all of my Goren's builds because of Yeti Smash.

Then I realized I never use Goren, and gave up.

Preliminary Skill Update Notes – 21 January 2010
While we continue a larger playbalance project that includes drastic changes to Shadow Form, we believe it is important to release a small skill balance to address a few other pressing issues. Because this update will be released shortly before a Monthly Automated Tournament, we want to provide a preview of the changes that are under consideration. This is a preliminary list, and it is likely there will be some changes before the update goes Live.

The areas we are trying to address are:

Ranged Spike/Damage in GvG
Party Wide Healing in GvG
Blood Spike in PvP
Individual Problem Skills


So, I am aware that the Pblock was a PvP change (actually a GvG one) but as far I was aware, last month was about the GvG changes, and this one should be about the so long PvE balance delay update I was waiting for. So, I have some reason in being shocked by the fact that the only Mesmer change today in this "PvE" balance update is a GvG one skill update.

So please, first learn to be polite and read others point of view before demamnding someone to learn something.

Seeing as the skill update is live, there's no longer a reason for this thread to remain open.
