please change Chilblains to a skill instead of a spell. i prefer that we keep a way to remove some of those hard to remove spells, epecially considering the cost which until now, i had no real complaints about.

Glint's Challenge is ridiculous in HM. Not that I didn't think groups of level 24+ Rits with Spirit Rift would be easy, but GEEZ!

Why do people keep insisting Necro's shouldn't get energy from spirits? Their primary is SOUL Reaping. It would make no sense whatsoever for them NOT to gain energy from their deaths. What is a soul other than a spirit?

the Books updates alone make me want to go back to GE:EN. No more grind fest. Just play the game normally and have enough points to get any armor u want.

I really love this update

PvP balance is more important than petty semantics?

So....so... i can just do the main story missions - 99% of which i can do with hench and heroes - and get quite a lot of reputation points, as well as a bit of cash on the side, instead of the endless area grind?

Ok, so i haven't finished the last mission, but i can do all of them up to that and get a reasonable amount, not including the ones i'd get from travelling around massacring anything that moves!

I've noticed a lot of people talking about the armours, but it does also affect the skills too (pain inverter, Radiation field, Summon Flame Djinn/Mursaat Elementalist

)

That's it? Because the attribute works the way it's supposed to, you want it nerfed? SR only workes 3 times per 15 seconds anyway, so...why cry again? Too hard to beat with that other great fotm build or something?

The books update is fantastic, although I feel for the people who traded their books in yesterday. A little

My mesmer is happy and I'm so excited about hardmode I... have to go play.

The Bard · Oct 12, 2007, 09:19 PM // 21:19

and i was just about to make a paragon >_> (seriously just thinking about what to name him) now i dunno :P

oh well, hard mode and minipet update yey ^^

edit: why didn't i save my book one more week T__T

AR can be replaced, and the 4 second recharge to GftE really didn't hurt it too bad, just tried. Still a great skill.

Jetdoc · Oct 12, 2007, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Chilibains is just hilarious now.

25 Energy, 2 Second Cast, 8 Second Recharge. Spell. You become Poisoned for 10 seconds. Target foe is struck for 10...37 cold damage and loses 1 Enchantment.

Versus Envenom Enchantments

5 Energy, 1 Second Cast, 20 Second Recharge. Spell. Target foe loses one Enchantment. For every remaining Enchantment, target foe is poisoned for 3...9 seconds.

Let's see - we'll reduce the recharge by 12 seconds, but it will cost you:

-- 20 more energy
-- double the cast time
-- 10 seconds of self poison

That's awesome.

super strokey · Oct 12, 2007, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Well its great and everything I wonder what they are going to cahnge later like they mentioned in the update

JeniM · Oct 12, 2007, 09:29 PM // 21:29

lol anet you broke the thing that gives less rep after first doing a mission

10k Delminor per "Time for Heroes" run

= R10 Delver in less than 1 hour of update

Hyper Cutter · Oct 12, 2007, 09:36 PM // 21:36

I don't like adrenal skills with recharges, they're so awkward...

Given the utter mess they made of Soul Reaping the last time they tried to balance it (was removing energy gain from spirits that damn hard, seriously?), let's hope they never try it again...

zwei2stein · Oct 12, 2007, 09:37 PM // 21:37

new AR can be abused nicely in pve thou ... Plague sending and similar stuff for endless crackled armor on foes, nice duration, easy to reapply... it basically gives noncaster (somewhat) comfortable access to CA...

-20 armor is big, but not bad, what is really bad is that it self-covers nasty conditions ... not cool, not cool at all, that needs some fixing because this makes blindness supershutdown vs. paras... unless RCed.

Painbringer · Oct 12, 2007, 09:39 PM // 21:39

Why the buff to searing flames? I guess i am not sure why they needed to buff this. Unless they wanted to give the burning spirits a chance

Can't wait to see Blister in action in hardmode

The Goldenwolf · Oct 12, 2007, 09:42 PM // 21:42

Nice update methinks. Already gained 2 levels and got like Rank 6 Of Norn Allegience just from 3 or 4 Books XD Liking that idea a lot abd hope it stays. It actually rewards you for going through the work. The Minipet customization removed, good idea again and thanks for making it account based too now ^^

The Skills changes don't really bother me as I'll probably try and make my own builds. Just nice to see Mesmers are getting some love again too. As far as the other fixes, good Job Anet

Awesome idea: R/N Chillblains + Plague Touch.

Nah?

BTW: Chillblains reads: "...and loses one Enchantments."
