it wont be...why would they change skills in the middle of the seasonal playoffs and make people scramble to make new builds?

Hey I'm just repeating what Gaile has said. And I'm not the only one who heard it was April 15th.

But because of the Playoff delay, it might delay the update as well.

Hey, is this where we make predictions about upcoming nerfs? Because I want to predict that the following overpowered skills will be nerfed in this round:
  • Rust
  • Mending
  • Holy Wrath
  • Retribution
  • Skull Crack
  • Signet of Judgment
  • Ignorance

If it comes then propably after todays games. Last game starts at 4 PM GMT, so maybe couple hours after that.

Though it will affect to semi-final & final matches..hmm maybe 4/15 was a silly mistake

Well Gaile said it would be sometime next week.

Likely not over the weekend.

the quote was:

"Sometime after April 15"

So people who said on the 15th either can't read or misunderstood.

It'll probably be on their normal Thursday night update.

Balances usually hit the members of the team that are in EVERY competitive team. Like the Gale Warriors and CripShot Rangers of yester-season.

We all know what everyone runs this season.......Surge Mesmers....... >_< I hope they dont get hit too bad.

I actually like the skills. I don't see much of a need to change a lot.

Surge mesmers will prob get a lil nerf. Also i hope they finally fix the pet AI -.- it's about time.

Whats wrong with Surge? I'll admit Area is a pretty big radius but that only works if your target has energy.

Or read (past tense) this thread title;
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3008259
(which is named for the GWOnline thread of the same name)

For people that didn't read through the log (I know that I often don't; they've gotten too bleh over time, often repeating the same subject matter and saying very little new information), the exact quote from the log that spawned the topic says, Gaile Gray- "Balance: April 15th or so. Before start of next season."

Or read the log from the 15th, where Gaile states:

"Around the 17th"

Since you included misunderstood, I won't rip into you. But I don't see how you can blame people for misunderstanding when Gaile herself can't seem to pin down a definate answer and there's nothing concrete.

Skull crack is FAR from overpowered...I hope they nerf it to less adren or something, cuz its crap. SoJ isnt really overpowered/underpowered, as you can easily avoid it by not attacking. Mending is not overpowered, its a straight forward skill.

Signet of Judgement doesn't require your target to be attacking, it's an automatic knockdown with holy damage. You're thinking of Bane Signet.

Come on. Stabber was obviously joking if he included Mending and Holy Wrath in that list. Actually pretty much everything in his list needs some serious help.

Well because her original quote wasn't "it will be on the 15th" it was more like "Sometime after the 15th, when the play off's are finished"

Some people took this as the being on the 15th for some reason, either that or the chinese whisper effect made everyone think it was on the 15th.

Well, the Championship is done. EviL wins again. That skill balance should be coming really soon.

Heheh I'm glad I'm not the only one who knew that he was joking.

I have to agree with the others that e-surge probably will be on the recieving end of a nerf, though...better find a new elite for my domination mesmer. ^_^
