v Chilling Victory is right in line with Natural Healing, which I was using on my R/D anyway. The change is lateral at best if their goal was to discourage R/D escape scythers.

lucky chilling victory changes is not for pve.. or else... I'm gonna nerf anet.. >.>

I don't see why they wouldn't change Wounding Strike, the stacking Conjures + SoH or DShot.

They don't know what's going on.

I dont know?

I dont get how it is overpowered, but yea, people cant counter it by spreading out sooooo ....

Wow, Deep wound is imba!!!!

Maybe just increase its recharge to 6 secs or something.

The problem with signets was the Fast Casting buff that allowed it to work on signets as well, that just needs to be removed altogether, and humility needs to remain at 3 seconds cast time. Problem fixed.

maybe it's because deep wound is the arguably the best condition and even if you're hitting one target you're keeping 2 conditions on one person with epic dmg?

We'll get you tomorrow. We had to sub a few people which wasn't listening to our caller and as such we sorta failed to crack your infinite blind.

i hope you guys stopped using aegis half way through that match because you didn't need it at all.

Make the PVE skills overpowered starting at rank 1 of associated title - QQ happens on forums
Months later, nerf the PVE skills into oblivion, totally useless compared to the pre-nerf versions - QQ happens on forums

same old cycle

the people who post are a poor representation. anet should've hosted their own forums, linked each account to the cd key, to see who was posting from what perspective. the people crying about the shadowform nerf but have 250 ectos won't lend much credibility. the people who cry about shadowform and then don't log on again are probably a bigger problem.

at this point, the anet vendetta against sins is discouraging. the heartfelt pleas of the majority are simply unheard; rather than posting, they simply walk away. not that it would matter - the less experienced player (ie the majority) have complaints that always get shot down by those who live and breathe gw. it really just boils down to: your strategy was inferior, use mine, problem solved. but the less experienced don't have the resources (such as rankings) to pull it off. radiation field, at rank 2, really just serves to lower your current mana by 15 points. amusing in a suicidal kind of way. use ursan to farm lol noob. if you're not r9, nobody wants you around, and pugs will more often than not only succeed at increasing your /death rank.

with the new nerfs, it just seems that all the things that rewarded ingenuity and intelligence have been stripped. they were exploits, i'm sure. but exploits are what made the game fun. having your char turned into a pylon, is not. ah well, so is wow everything it's cracked up to be?

I just want to mention DarkNecrid, that someone I played with today didn't notice that Chilling Vic moved to Wind Prayers, he said it while in RA. I loled at him. *This is from page 5*

Gun Pierson · Jul 12, 2008, 09:25 AM // 09:25

There goes my fun smiter sniper build for FA. First the little nerf to mantra of inscriptions and now SoJ. Meh. But ok if it was needed. Maybe give smite some more love in PvE with upcoming update.

Direct damage smiters in PvE, outside of Undead being more viable = awesome. I personally hate having to go on the frontlines just to camp my defensive set so meh.

Just like I hate always playing a hybrid or pre prot in pvp and being shut down?

Tyla · Jul 12, 2008, 09:47 AM // 09:47

Not the same thing. In PvE, they AI won't attack unless you attack. More defense is better so I switch out of it and cast. Always.

In PvP, you can freely kite aswell as use a defensive set. Why? Players aren't like that AI.

Just saying it was fun to see a mesmer, warrior or sin wet their pants because it was not the type of monk they expected. The build lacks punch now.

Yeah but it's RA. Half the players don't seem to know you can actually move beyond Space.

And some use Mind Blast on their Rangers sooo~

I was mostly talking about people in other game modes that tend to usually have players with a high IQ.

Nerf Sins....thanks again Anet.

Bug John · Jul 12, 2008, 01:03 PM // 13:03

I really hope anet will find someone more competent than izzy for skill balances in GW2

if one thing remained the same in GW for 3 years, it's clearly izzy's unability to issue a good skill balance

he nerfed all the skills in the usual dervish wounding strike build, except wounding strike

moving chilling victory to wind prayers is useless, just make a pvp version with less added damage...

x/a melee spike nerfed 2 years after factions release... wow

and still nothing like "ends when you succesfully hit with an attack skill" for escape

maybe ZoS are asking him not to nerf their favorite builds

I see people here saying that wounding strike is not imbalanced...

so you think that a character that can apply deep wound every 3 seconds for 5 energy, covered by bleeding, is balanced ?

add some aoe to your attacks, more damage than a hammer, enchant ias, signet of mystic speed and you've got the perfectly balanced build you see everywhere

You can’t make everyone happy, Guild Wars community is so diversified it would be hard to make them all happy. Just look at the thousands of Pro and Con "Ursan" Not turning this into an ursan qq fest so stopping there.

There are so many aspects of Guild Wars as a whole it really hard for anet to balance it all. The majority for balance goes to the QQr's, nerf this nerf that.

You have regular joe plays 1-3 times a week, Daily Players, with that you have Farmers, solor's, pvp, title grinders, mission pve junkies, ect.

Just a big QQ fest nerf this, wait scratch that ok needs nerfed again, round and round we go.

Imo I don't see any reason for anymore nerfs to Guild Wars anyways. We have a year or so till Gw2, give us buffs instead of nerfs and let us have fun with a game we have enjoyed and hated for 3+yrs.

NO! they don’t. guru is a whining community, though it hasn't always been that way. guru isn’t the "community". it is a small portion of millions of players.

I thought this was a funny. Each campaign, is its own account.

Let me think, My main account has all 4, and I have 3 others like it.

If u add the 5 million accounts and me 1 person has 12 of the 5 million, where is ur millions of players LOL

As sad as it makes me I have to agree.

Personally I struggle to comprehend any logic that disagrees.

For every person posting here there must be a few thousand...at least...playing that don't even care this forum exists let alone realize.
