Arcane Languor... ya I am worrying about it becoming to powerful now, you can shut down a target for 24 seconds without much trouble. Though it is a hex, so it is vulnerable... only time will tell how this will work out, I know I will enjoy using it

As for SSpeed, I don't see much change as it is basically the same skill.

Well, Arcane Languor is finally a viable skill. Amazing what 3s can do. Still have to see the exact progression but I'm actually gonna make a build around it now. SSpeed got a nice buff, made it rly spammable. Good stuff. Meh... they fixed Gaze from Beyond.... that's sad (drops Channelling from his Rt builds)

Says the person who doesn't even respect Diversion. I think I'll stick to my judgement, unless practice shows the skill isn't worthwhile.

If you can make a build around equinox and arcane languor you might make it worth it but that sounds to me like just a PITA build - my guild tried that and we werent too happy with the field test. But then we might have to try two copies of languor..

Compared to Diversion its still not THAT effective on its own. Unlike Diversion you can still cast through it once in a while and be totally unaffected. But at least now it can actually be useful as a shutdown. With Arcane Echo it could definatly be a major irritation for any monk. Specially with Equinox around, but as it affects your team too, it could be a double bladed sword if the opponents have AL too.

I'm so happy they buffed the ele with these skill changes/sarcasm
The only updates are making GoSacrifice do what it was suppose to do the last time they updated and changed a spells type...

Also, i'm liking the monk skills, they basically buffed my Barrage/Pet monking build

You know...if eles got a divine boon for elemental damage they *might* be viable. Of course Anet would F that up by making it elite of course.
