Links to how Minion Masters were unfairly nerfed - Guild Wars Forums

Well I apoligize if linking to other parts of the forums isnt really allowed, but i want to make sure that ArenaNet knows how freaking upset people are with the new skill update. If they dont change it so that minion masters are more useful, it really shows how they dont care about the Guild Wars forums communities.

This is where alot of threads are talking about how verata's sacrifice is useless, and how if this NERF is not fixed, 1. almost all necromancers will be extremely upset, and 2. there wont be any minion masters anymore [which is probally what Anet wants, to make people want to play the ritualist more.

How is Ritualist an MM fallback? No, if they wanted people to play Rits, they'd take Assassins down a bit...

From what I saw, MM was nerfed because it was waaay to overpowered for Alliance battles, I mean, the team with the MM are the winners. You can argue that Verata's Aura will negate that, but since you don't need to carry Res in Alliance battles, all MM's will have Aura and once your minions are stolen, you just have to steal them back.
How many times have you seen in Alliance battles where one team is forced to turtle or retreat because the other team has an MM with over 30 minions?
Although it isn't liked, and has pretty much dented the MM as a character, any MM in a mission/quest won't have more than about 10 minions anyway so it doesn't harm them that much, it only hurts the guys farming all the time but with Factions coming out there going to be more ways to make money.
On top of that, the Alliance battle system is something huge, it's in some ways a unique selling point for Factions as the whole control city thing is based around it, and the MM build is way too overpowered when it comes to fights where bodies are everywhere.

MM's will still be around, just not there for farming anymore.
