mending is overpowered!

all those super tanks and invinci monks are using mending, so it must be a good skill, right?

So, I decided to go to Thunderhead Keep and test this leet skill. The mission was surprisingly easy with this build. I finished the mission with my first try, I got 10% morale boost and none of the henchmen died. The only hard part was taking down the 5 groups near Dagnar. My henchmen aggroed both heretic groups near dagnar and 1 other group, so I had to fight 3 groups at the same time!

if you are having problems with this mission, just take mending and go!

next project is to win Hall of Heroes with mending build and henchies

Just because a skill can be used well does not mean it's overpowered. Anyone can do Thunderhead Keep with henchies, if they have any bit of skill and experience.

Of the few overpowered skills in this game, mending is simply not one of them. End of story.

a hint would be his moral is not quite 10% and I had no idea there was enough bosses in THK for a 10%

the bosses I fought in that run were:

Ulhar Stonehound (the bridge)
Fuury Stonewrath (city)
Dagnar Stonepate (fort)
Boris Hillshaker (fort)
Agyrus the Scoundrel (fort)
Confessor Dorian (fort)

I'm also planning to do this mission with empty skillbar. I'm not going to take any skills not even rez sig, I'll let the henchmen do all the work.

nerfing this would be ridiculous. I bet if u didnt use mending you could still beat it with henchies, just have to take more time and plan things out...

Mending is useless if you keep getting it stripped. HoH and many other mission places, such as Hell's Precipice will have people/enemies stripping your enchantments.

To nerf Mending would be to essentially remove it from the game alltogether. It's fine how it is now. BTW, Good job on THK... pretty amusing.

This is a ss of my attemt with no skills, i was inspired.

I managed to get as far as the warrior boss, but too many came and they killed me, after that it fell apart and the king was killed.

***2x images moved to next post.****

The last ss i took before dying, as you can see i made the mistake of going down the stairs and someone slipped up above me and got the king / i didnt spot that till to late.



and as you can see i have 8+ BEFORE killing the warrior



And this PROVES mending is overpowerd

nerf mending.

Impossible. You just cannot do this mission without both echo and mending, it is beyond anyones abilities. You must be using hacks!

*Sigh* Why is it that whenever someone decides to just share one of their accomplishments, it turns into a flame war? Maybe it has something to do with the negative connotations of mending that just puts people in a bad mood, but seriously, just let the guy have his day.

And, by the way, good going on the henchies-mending win. It proves people can still just have fun.

same can be said with protective bond, or heck any number of other skills... Just cause a skill is used does not mean its perfect. If you do not know what your doing mending and bonds of this quanity can be disasterous. and against mesmers they are useless... so in reallity the original poster just finally figured out how to manage energy. nuff said... want to nurf all of it mess with THE signate (not saying which but DUH!!!).. then everyone will want to kill you...

Of the few overpowered skills in this game, mending is simply not one of them. End of story. Indeed, and FYI PVP is 10 BILLION times harder than PvE, and requires REAL skill (Or a bunch of idiots shouting I WILL AVENGE YOU!)
