They already did, except for C. Most likely.

What, might I ask, are we supposed to take from this?

And like Necrid said, guaranteed it's been done.

The ursan nerf was good and made of chocolate, and may flights of angels sings it to rest.

Actually what would be more interesting is to check what effect the change had on forming parties.

actually what would be more interesting is to make ursan the next smiter's boon and then lock ursan that way and use a random unknown password to lock it so they're never tempted to change ursan back for even a moment.
lulz i rly don't care what they do with ursan, but that would certainly be more interesting.

lawl I saw someone in Umbral the other day trying to say that anet lost tons of customers by nerfing ursan. My question is: What did they do before GW:EN?

Oh another thing I forgot to put in, even if people did leave because of the ursan nerf its not really a loss because they're all baed players anyway

Am I the only one here who still uses ursan?
Arcane mimicry+Assassin's Promise= Ursan recharge

I like the new ursan because it is less imba, but deals more dmg to lower leveled enemies because of the slashing damage. Ursan Rage is even better because now it chases after enemies as well

People considered godly players are now given advice to because they're still using ursan.
Please no reverse this is just too good.

Of course ANet would like to have as many players playing as possible, but purely from a maintainance point of view;
- People buying the game, at first instance, couldn't care less wether the game has a good UB or a bad UB.
- People already paid for the games, the more they play, the more it costs ANet.
- They aren't going to make any profit on selling character slots from UB fanatics, as they only need 1 character slot anyway.

Of course, they need to keep their clientele for GW2, but if GW2 is gonna be Ursan-esque they lose the big half of their current/former clients, if not they'll lose the smaller half of their clients, as UB fanatics are currently still playing and complaining

How can a half of the number of clients be smaller then the other half. If it is half they are equal!

LOL, think about it before you comment. They lost customers that had not bought the game yet. That hurts the wallet. Your way of thinking is a bit shortsighted, try a class in Economics next semester.

Takes less than a week to get a SY! Imbagon ready to go. Then, any class is welcome, and usually only 1 monk is needed. Good job nerfing Ursan though, really stellar. Oh, and the Perma-Dwayna Dervish also rocks, since AoE scythe damage is very nice, and hex removal is really nice...

Fixed Reading whole posts is ftw imho.

The ursan nerf was a good thing and a bad thing. Good for those who hated it, bad for those who loved it. Not much else to say.
