enjoy this odd update

Weird update o.o

What exactly do those skill changes accomplish?

Found it unusual as well xD Probably just fixes that were request at the official forum for game bugs, no?

Those skills are simply ones that were in an attribute before but didn't actually scale with the attribute. Not really a skill change or a fix, just a reclassification so that its easier to find them. Otherwise you have to manually look through attributes that you have 0 in to put it on your bar sometimes.

Probably the only thing I like... everything else seems... I don't know what to say. It's not bad...

They probably should have done this a while ago, now Anet just looks pretty lazy -.-

Nothing has changed...?

Goes to show you how much I cared about it in the first place...

nothing special to me. when i saw the update i foolishly though part 2 of woc was out. xD hehe

If nobody sees it I will point out - this update is a Mirror of Disenchantment nerf - it won't work with a 40/40 Dom set anymore. Nothing big obv but was this needed just for the consistency?

If it was just 'housekeeping' how come it wasn't tagged onto the previous update? Maybe Anet are trying to mess with us and make us get our hopes up and think it is the 2nd part of WoC XD

Nice to know ANet still has priorities.

ANet should just tell us what the are going to balance next. Really...

Forked Arrow, no attribute. But if I am not enchanted, sure to be hexed; so one arrow anyways.

Hexbreaker Aria was already described as "essentially an unlinked skill." So gain little, lose nothing.

But ... Ssaresh Rattler now uses Fox Fangs.

Oh noes! I am a'feard! I am a'feard! Wonder what he was using before? Never knew because he was always dead before I looked. He's in Maishang Hills south of Bai Passu Reach outpost.

If you don't manage to catch him on the way in, he and his small group of Naga will suicide against Seacrash and an Island Guardian. Might be some rot wallows there too. Well, Fox Fangs is unblockable. Perhaps it is added to his other dagger attacks so he can make a bigger dent in Seacrash before dying.

Ssaresh in theory drops decent lightning daggers with bonus against hexed targets. Never bothered to farm them.

Seacrash drops an Earth Wand that looks sort of cool. Never got one of them neither.

Find skills more easily. Get a tad more damage from the enhanced Ssaresh which boss most players blasting their way through the game these days never even notice anyways.

Strange update, very.

For the players, nothing. For Anet, looking busy.

a buffed to all enchantment I must say.... less mirror of disenchantment.. more enchantment.. god help us..gg

perhaps you don't have to change weapon now to use the 10/10 all skill recharge upgrade for the mirror of disenchantment~~~

I can only hope that this is a prep udate for the next WoC chapter...other than that.....I don't have the foggiest what it accomplishes.

is this update making anyone else say.... "ok..... why did you do this?"

I don't think this is even supposed to be a balance update. Just a random fix to bugs and inconsistences(sp?) done by whoever is in charge of dealing with that.

We've been getting a lot of bug fixes since they opened their official forum for bugs.

I believe those things are done separately from the designers behind skill/ content updates, and this time, they were updated separately as well.

I think its great they are fixing some of the bugs....but these dont seem to be them---

I believe there are much older issues that they could be addressing than changing the attributes for these skills (a look thru the known bugs section here is just the tip).

so I'm with the "......ah....uhm........what?' crowd on this one (though 2 weeks with updates.....would be nice if we got them everyweek----)
