i wish anet will update the AI for all of these elite skill changes period. as of now, the AI does NOT know how to use any of the changed skills. heck, the AI still thinks Healing Burst is a touch range heal.

another nerf for the rits? PwK

pingu666 · Feb 06, 2009, 04:05 AM // 04:05

nerfing rits at this point is like kicking a dead horse once then going HA HA.

like the bully kid from the simpsons

PwK nerfed .... why??

AT least Izzy knows what is wrong with Guild Wars, but I think his way of going about fixing PwK best exemplifies his sheer misunderstanding of the game. People don't run PwK because of the armor bonus. They run it because of its cheap party heal and because it lasts a long time.

Glad to see they reworded Frozen soil. For some reason the description (but not the actual skill) was changed before to say that it only affected "resurrection spells" which would imply stuff like res sig would work through it (res sig still didn't work through it, they just changed the wording incorrectly, not the functionality).

Its nice to know such a minor detail that was pointed out on a guru thread was noticed and fixed.

Signet of Humility wasn't the problem with Me/Rt Tease heroes...or is there more to this nerf that I'm missing?

VV That makes sense, wasn't thinking. Anything to make LC builds slightly less retarded is a win in my book. Not that it will matter too much, but whatever.

You're missing the fact that no one ever cared about HA. They mostly nerfed it for Me/N curser, same as all involved necro skills.

Yes, but the armor bonus along with +10 while holding an item gave rits nearly constant AL of 94 which needed to be toned down.

They really need to finish changing alot of skills they changed, LC and chilblains do not act like all other types of aoe. When the target dies, the spells fail to cast when compared to all previous aoe, which goes though even if target dies. I'm sure there alot of other skills that were not completely changed, but being primary necro, these are the 2 that stick out like a sore thumb.

So the health degen was the problem with Lingering Curse? interesting :S
It's still dirt cheap and it still lasts forever ><

Tamuril elansar · Feb 06, 2009, 07:46 AM // 07:46

There's DoT aoe, which casts even if the target dies, and theres 'Boom' AoE, which fails when there's no target. Which makes me wonder, does a Rodgorts cast fail when the target dies?

Hehe not really, but when you factor in the amount of players you could hit with lingering+suffering over a time period greatly adds up, even with the -2 degen removed between the two now decreases overall health degen throughout a match. What really put the nail in the coffin was the nerf to sig hum, pretty much the only way hexes or even condi degen can create pressure. Mark was pretty dumb in getting buffed to what it was but in the end the majority of the meta had tools to counter it, warding at the stand and or pnh monks. All this update did in the grand scheme of things was remove build options. Oh do I wish we could go back to last April. It's updates like these when I really start to question the previous motives of updates and current, you buff pressure one month then nerf it, while whole other extremely more stagnant and broken 8v8 builds run rampant, yea yea rawrspike.
