Skill Changes
* Spiritual Pain (PvP): reduced damage taken by target foe to 5...40; reduced recharge to 12 seconds.
* Unnatural Signet (PvP): add the following functionality: "All of your non-Mesmer spells are disabled for 10 seconds."
[edit] Bug Fixes
* Fixed a bug that caused Calculated Risk and Calculated Risk (PvP) to reflect all damage instead of just damage from attacks.
* Fixed a bug that caused High Commissioner Gyills to use Entourage.
* Fixed a bug that caused Livia to freeze in place in Talmark Wilderness following the War in Kryta.
* Fixed a bug that prevented War in Kryta allies from spawning in postwar North Kryta Province when the player has an active historical royal bounty.
Update July 29th

They could have avoided so much grief if they didn't just try a halfassed nerf the first time around.
Ranger Jaap
So calculated risk is no longer a pain inventer? and what is the point of the all your non mesmer skills are disabled for 10 seconds to nerf the me/any only teams in gvg?

Getting pretty tired of constant PvP updates.....does the majority of the GW player base care about PvP? Why not cater more to the masses? Just b/c they seem to be more vocal? Is that the reason?.............Is it b/c it is that much easier to implement and therefore updates can be panned out with minimal effort? I'm just curious. Is Anet banking on the PvP player base to purchase GW2? Must be given the amount of attention they get.....or maybe it's much like a whiny baby......give it constant attention and hope it shuts up? Maybe the PvE crowd should try the same vocal puerility?

Do you even play the same game as everyone else?
I'm not even a PvPer and I know it needs attention.

"The amount of attention PvP" gets amounts to skill updates i presume? While the PvE community has been getting a boatload of new content via WiK?
If it up to you, PvP would get no attention at all for the sole reason that you don't play it. Just because the majority of GW players only play PvE doesn't mean the PvP community should get absolutely nothing (And it is absolutely nothing that you want, don't tell me you just want to tone it down because PvE'rs bitch and whine here literally EVERY time a pvp-related update is released).
There are still people playing PvP and right now toning down Mesmer-spike before the upcoming MAT is a far more pressing concern than giving you some quest.
The more i see PvE players' reaction to PvP updates recently, the more i start to think the whining and QQ is less about actually wanting yet more new PvE content and more out of spite for the PvP community. That's the impression im getting anyway.

I rarely play PVP but I am glad that ANET works on it, I am glad they work on anything GW1 related for that matter. My son on the other hand likes PVP alot and plays regulary, I have to drag him into PVE at times.
The more people that play for whatever reason the better.

PvP gets the worst kind of attention [GvG-oriented/biased], tbh. Somebody uses a skill or build that somebody doesn't like in GvG, and that person has ties with Anet?:

Any one that actually plays GvG/HA knows that those skills needed to be fixed.

They updated TWO skills. That's 2 out of over 1,000 skill in the game. Three of the four bugs they fixed involved strictly PvE content. NEW PvE at that. (Or was that whole "War in Kryta" thing just an illusion brough about by the recent love they gave to PvE Mesmers? - Get it? "illusion" - "Mesmers" hehehe)

People need to stop bitching about more updates in PvE, you just got WiK.

Hypocrisy - insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have.
On topic:
I haven't gotten too far through ANY of the campaigns, so I haven't been to EoTN yet, and have not even heard of some of those skills. Lol. But at least they're still fixing problems and not letting them go.

If you read it, that last sentence was NOT hypocritical. He didn't say he had a belief, it was a stupid idea that he didn't mean. NOT a belief. So no, both Essence Snow and MisterB are wrong.

I’m glad we have the definition of “hypocrisy” sorted. Now let’s work on “pedantic”.

Good update, I suppose, but why didn't they just avoid buffing this shit in the first place?

Game is called Guild wars for a reason , but that's not a valid to reason to leave EVERY other pvp format without any update.

Rename thread to people arguing over whether pve or pvp deserves more attention.

No updates=whines
Updates=whines
Really, they can't do an update specifical for every single person who plays, I thought it was obvious...I don't care about PVP, I dislike WiK etc while there would be other things I'd like updated...but yeah, I'm not the only one out here so I'm happy just they're doing something and making someone happy. What's wrong with it?
