Update - 2/17

Yeah you can keep ressing the same spirits over and over again for a few minutes. I guess that after that time their 'corpses' time out and disappear, making them unable to be ressed.

My point was that while giving you the DP removal is nice, it's not exactly required because killing anything and everything in HM removes DP. If Asuran scan was still available as it was, that same person would be killing things before he died thereby not needing DP removal. Sure HM is just as playable without it but as a war, I can honestly say I'm going to miss it.

Been testing with a warrior in singles combat with the scythe and it seemed stronger than it was before. The increase of the weapons inherent speed might be the reason why it feels that way. The dmg scale guy showed a difference as well; about 38 dmg on average without using skills except an IAS. Used brute force dmg skills spammed with Warrior's Endurance and the average almost doubled. The guy died in 7 secs with my set up, almost before I could Deep Wound him. It still lost the AoE impact that it had with andy /D builds before this update, but up close and personal... I was kinda wow'd. That's my personal experience, though. Just thought I'd put that up and let others try. Would be nice to see some other posts of how W/D's are now.
In the meantime, I'm going to try how the Warrior Hero treats it.

dunno if anyone noticed this but the asuran scan reminds me of the one spirit skill. you know the skill when you die and turn into a ghost while you kill dhuum. xD

Also, how would having 3+++ Shelters up work? Would they all take damage or just one at a time? :O:O
dancing gnome
BOOOOM!!
Just took my shiny new (old) dervish out for a spin and BOOOOM!!! about sums it up. The update was awesome, I love how the class plays now. Flash enchants rock, adrenaline works awesome and finally reliable in-class ways to increase attack speed.
Great work Live Team.

HawkofStorms
What's the deal with the new Avatar of Grenth? It's like Tainted Flesh on acid (only less helpful in PvP since it doesn't actually protect your teammates).
Aldo wants more

Edit: Nvm, being retarded.
They should leave BuH the way it is, 60 damn seconds is how long it takes. It's awesome for Rit teams, already saw someone advertising for a buhway team.

I won't knock it until I try it but not the type of update I was looking for... I mean, did you really need to do that to Ural's?
Still, some of the dervish skills look nice but I just can't get over that. It was powerful but it's a PvE only skill!

Intensity is sad since you basically need to do spike damage for it to be any good. If it were 50% more for EVERY spell it'd be different, but 50% for one spell every 10 seconds is not worth using for spammy skills.
50% will be good with Invoke though. (140 on casters = 70 on everything in nearby)
If anything it will be a buff to stuff like lightning orb, Stoning/Ebon hawk, Fireball, meteor, lightning hammer, rodgort's invocation.
Nice nerf to BuH and Asuran Scan. AoHM got hit bad.

Tested it with a friend. The additional spirits don't do any damage and it appears when 1 gets hit each copy also takes the same amount of dmg. Nothing really changes, it's just a visual bug.
HawkofStorms
Heart of Fury is ridiculous. And is it just me or is Dust Cloak now better at inflicting blindness then Blinding Surge (an elite)?
Oh, and yeah I immediately thought of air magic with intensity. Chaining it with stuff that already does aoe like invoke seems viable.

Been doing more tests with W/D scythe and also a pure Derv. On the plus side, Derv is actually more kill efficient than the W/D. There's still the W/D being more devastating than before the update, but not any better than a derv.
Hero AI is meh. They seldom use their Flash Enchantments, but when they do it's like chaos wearin skirts.

BUH:
It also works with summons and ranger pets. Flame Djinn army, or your own personal imp army!!!
I love this.

This is very interesting...I hope we at least have a week with this bug if not more.

I'm getting... inconsistent results with the revived spirits.
Some of the time, they're hitting for zeros and triggering spiritleech for 15.
Other times, they'll hit for zero, but spiritleech won't register.
Yet other times, they're attacking, but no damage indicator is shown at all.
:-/
Not that I could take much advantage of this anyway... Playing R/Rt and just using H/H, so I can't keep more than a couple of sets up at a time. :-\

I guess the BUH abuse will end when someone at Anet pops in and takes a look in here. Which will probably be around the time I get home from work. Darn, lol.

SPYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
On another note I'm wondering if BuH works on allies like say Livia / Gadd during that one quest.
ensoriki
Possibly, anyways for the most part it's ineffective unless used in a team..atleast for a secondary rit. With the spirits doing no damage unless you boost them with PB and spirit leech aura, your bar starts to suffer. Raising enough spirits also just sadly does not happen. If anything while you can kill something quick with a spirit spike, it's more efficient (if solo farming with a /rt) to do just one spirit.
They make for decent body blocking though.
