Sooo... let me get it right.

There are so many ways that you can fight against a echo shadow form assassin in PvP, that they took away Chillblains?

It will be a fun weekend in RA

Lol at SF buff, don't think my Para will be too happy but she's been gathering dust for months anyway. Good job on the minis and rep grind.

Basically the new players handbook garentees that you will get your rank 5 in one faction just for completing the main quests. I guess it's good in a way, but now I feel like a schmuck for farming my faction for my armor.

why do people think that Agressive refrain didn't get hurt?

Do you like a 60AL para? No...

Do you want your monk spending 5e every 5-10 seconds removing a condition from your para? No...

Agressive refrain is Re-Applied every time a shout or chant ends on you... ummm... so... you're either looking at a 60AL para, or a monk who has to remove that condition every time its applied when in battle.

I don't know about you, but I tihnk that's a significant nerf...

I wonder if the UW/FoW end-reward chests will yield crystallines like their purple counterparts?

Interesting to say the least.

The echo shadow sin is still annoying...

I dont think Seraphic is counting Paragon shields in... >.> but thats just me nitpicking.

I was waiting for an aggressive refrain nerf...but i didnt expect THAT. I expecting something like diminishing returns on each re-application.

I don't see the big deal it costs 25 energy to set up (aggressive refrain) Then you actually have to spam a shout the entire time. The only way that might be "imbalanced" is in pvp.

Rangers have their preparation that gives them nonstop attack speed. Warriors have quite a few. Ritualists have a non strippable ias in the form of a fast casting weapon.

I also hate the gfte nerf. I want to see some other adrenaline skills that would be spammed (ex. fear me) get a 4-5 second nerf and see how many complain over that. Just because a skill can help a lot by using adrenaline gaining skill to spam it. Doesn't need to be nerfed.

sure shields count, but only if you're facing the direction of damage.

Ok, let me re-word my aforementioned statement: Do you want Paragons with a conistent re-applying -20 AL condition every time a chant or shout ends on them?

I think not, thus making the AR nerf more significant than people are making it out to be.

Upon further thought I like what they have done with the handbooks. You complete the main storyline and you get enough faction to be able to buy one style of armor. So for those that would prefer to farm it, they can, and those that don't want to have to farm it, can just play the story line. Not bad really.

Im not at home (forum chat from work!) so i cant really say how AR's exact effect is, the wording is kinda vague.

So its re-applying cracked armor each time it is renewed?

I cashed in 2 player handbooks on 2 different characters and got 2 new ones as well. Did you cash in the old one and did you ask the right 'questions' to get a new one?
