Curse

I was two maning UW today and noticed that I wasn't getting any energy. I canceled Balthazar's Spirit only to find out that it wasn't that one or the other stopped working or got "nerfed" but that Prot Bond now costs 2 mana at level 17, even if it doesn't say that.

:-(((((((

That is wonderful news. Maybe now I can buy some monk runes.

U GOTTA BE KIDDING??? that would be sooooo G8!!!

Algren Cole · Aug 17, 2005, 07:43 PM // 19:43

as of early this morning at about 1:00 a.m. it was still only costing 1 energy.....

Hysteria · Aug 17, 2005, 07:43 PM // 19:43

I just tested PB. I can still get a lvl 17 cast which only requires 1 energy to maintain. So in other words, it still works atm.

Jessy · Aug 17, 2005, 07:44 PM // 19:44

So not true ... takes more casting (em, like ... a lot more), but you can still get it to 1.

Silmor · Aug 17, 2005, 07:45 PM // 19:45

So in other words, test your claims before rushing to the forum to incite global hysteria, Sagius. No offense to Hysteria.

Hopefully someone will be kind enough to delete this topic before the flood of "OMG I HURD PB WAS NERFED" idiots is set in motion.

Divine Elemental · Aug 17, 2005, 07:46 PM // 19:46

OP - Idiot :P
no offense....

Regardless, I think the 105 build is on its way out the door. Better start looking to new builds for your soloing needs!

Algren Cole · Aug 17, 2005, 07:49 PM // 19:49

why would the 105 build be out the door? we'll just replace one of our dmg dealing skills with bonetti's for energy recharge

pintpointfive · Aug 17, 2005, 07:50 PM // 19:50

I thought I hit the nerf the other day... I was probably sitting there for 5 minutes trying to cast it and got nothing but 2.

Another note, if you happen to accidentally recast Protective Bond (ie, when scrambling for Bonetti's Defence) even though the icon will still say '1 energy' the buff will be overwritten and cost 2. But I dare not report it as a bug to ANet...

Ristaron · Aug 17, 2005, 07:51 PM // 19:51

Thread not closed yet. Can sense "OMG NERF PB/PB WAS NERFED OMG" n00bs mentioned above approaching...

Viaz Xsikemesi · Aug 17, 2005, 07:54 PM // 19:54

as of now, its still working... and btw, my build has 55 life

(and he is lvl 20)

Sagius Truthbarron · Aug 17, 2005, 07:57 PM // 19:57

It still says 1 energy, it just wouln't give me any. I tested 4 times today and with Essence Bond and Balthazar's Aura I am getting 0 mana from being hit.

Has anyone here that has tested it today actually let themself get hit by an Aaxte? Becuase I am getting 0 energy.

Can any of you wonderfully delightful flamers give me a reason to why it's not giving me any energy?

Ristaron · Aug 17, 2005, 08:01 PM // 20:01

No 105 build for you!

Sorry bud, try using blessed signet?

balthazar's aura is smite damage. do you have balthazar's spirit cast?

Lasareth · Aug 17, 2005, 08:08 PM // 20:08

This info is incorrect. Make sure it's level 17 next time and that you have both energy skills maintained.

Divine Boon, Zealot's Fire, Essence Bond, Balthazar's Aura, Balthazar's Spirit, Blessed Signet, Bonnetti's Defense, Prot Bond.

Yes, that's my build. I meant to say Balthazar's Spirit.

And I am 100 percent sure that it was level 17 those 4 times (If you read what I said before you would know that) becuase it said that it costs 1 mana every time I get hit...

Can you please explain why this is not working??

Luna Thirteen · Aug 17, 2005, 08:10 PM // 20:10

Oh yeah, that happens to me sometimes...my energy will go down tiny bits or won't change at all. That's why I consider Bonetti's Defense a staple in a 105 or 55 (thank you -50 focus item) build. I can't tell you how much it helps...between gaining 5 energy per miss, not having your slow recharge smite skills interrupted, (at least not as easily) and making grasping darkness officially way too easy to clobber. But yeah, Prot. Bond still works for me I think, and even if it gets nerfed to the point where 17 only gives -2 energy, as Algren Cole said, Bonetti's will still recharge energy fast enough so that it won't matter.
