Incorrect, spirit bond is very necessary on your prot monks bar. Unless your conclusion was based on the double champ point weekend, in which people dropped it for aegis to help deal with the mass amount of guilds playing bloodspike.

My Domination and Illusion builds will still suffer from slow recharge or no energy. Yay.

Nice to have a heads up though.

As much as I will likely take advantage of this, I completely agree :|

Redvex · Dec 18, 2009, 11:52 AM // 11:52

I hope a rework on some unused skill like equinox (pve) and rework for some skill tree (tactics, wildness survival etc).
I hate to see nerf or buff of common skills.
We have a tons of unused skill.

Fail.

If this was one month ago, it would've been great news. Now, it's just late, too late. Way to let us know this Thursday, which just happens to be the last day of this month a skill update could be expected. If you had informed us earlier, at least people wouldn't have had false hope.

Trust me, as someone who's real-life hobbies consist of acting, studies of the mind, and many other things the mesmers do ingame (Even being an asshole!), I want my mesmer buffed just as you

Since the balance isn't being implemented this month, I'm going to make sure to bring up the issues with the "lower-tier" professions to the rest of the Test Krewe and hopefully we may get some discussion going on how to fix them

However, that said, as much as I want them improved for PvE, I cannot make guarantees either, unfortunately. Balancing is an... Annoying... Long... Annoyingly tedious process. For everyone!

Only one thing can be tackled at a time, dude. Now the issue seems to be SF, Tactics, and lolurfshakurpvehammers.

Yay... they fix the W attributes as if anyone complained about that and leave the pathetic Eles to keep wanding foes to death...

Let me guess, they're gonna turn hammers into an awesome damage dealing attribute as if W and all the other classes (including Mo - just for the laughs from ANets part) are not already outshining Eles in damage. Oh joy.

oh dear soon 600/smite QQ threads will be popping next to SF threads. Myself I am curious to see tactics changes.

Most likely WY! un-nerf to 2005 state, Ripostes gaining several "charges", "unblockable/ias/increased adrenal gain" skills for hammers

then do what the rest do after a nerf....learn new skills...proty spirit and Spirit bond 100% need a nerf

DreamWind · Dec 18, 2009, 01:24 PM // 13:24

I wonder if Anet realizes that the point of skill balances is to achieve balance and not to have regular late balances?

wrong. i support the demolition of this ridiculously burdening power creep anet's introduced to the game over the past couple of years.

given this will probably never happen, but if it does, time to buckle your seatbelts and get good, kids!

Funny to see people begging ANET to leave 600's alone. Many people have been asking where does it stop for a long time. Your turn next....

ANET does not care about the skill level involved/not involved in any of the farming skills. It is the SPEED at which they accomplish the tasks.

I still would like to see the skills in question not allowed in areas that ANET is concerned about. ANET does not want SF Speed Clears in Underworld then just do not allow people to equip the SF skill in the Underworld. Simple. Done. Problem solved. All this time balancing skills could be used elsewhere. Secuirty, Content, Special Events and so on.
