that's because they aren't auctions...they're buy it now sales.

Instead, Anet shouldn't allow teams of under 8 to go into the UW =\

Therefore you will now only be able to have a full part. This will help people more then hurt them.

BTW, I'm a Monk ^.^

To answer the original question ..... I have kept playing after the nerf. I enjoy the game. I have a monk that I was thinking about converting into one of those invici monks but haven't gotten around to it because I'm too busy playing. I do have a spot where I can comfortably farm about 3k an hour if I should need the jing.

well, its obvious to me that GW devs dont want soloing. its billed as a team game and there is NO soloing in PvP. however when i posted on this before i got over 100 replies of telling me (flaming) that it WAS intended blah blah blah. told me if they hadnt intended it they would take it out of the game. then when they took it out of the game people modded the build.

all i can really say is it should be obvious by now that yes solo monk will be removed from the game in the upcoming patch. if that makes people quit the game thats fine with me. you might as well have a game genie hooked up as far as i am concerned.

hate to bring a taboo subject into it, but look at extacy. it was a drug developed by scientists derived from lsd. in europe it is a prescription drug, but when it came out in the usa in 1984 it was not illegal. the government had only made lsd illegal to that point in time. that made it perfectly legal to sell and consume mdma (x) as much as you wanted, even tho it is neither safe or right. it was still legal tho. just like the solo monk. its legal to do it, but its obviously not what the developers want.

anyway, to be honest, i cant beleive people actually act like its not an unintended exploit. for you to believe that you would have literally to use the logic "anet wants me to be able to unlock skill points and receive drops at 8x the rate of the other 35 classes".

I made a protection/smiter build now, with 16 protection and 16 smiting. havent had the chance to try it...(caus i need shield of regeneration). But i think i can do griffon runs, and maybe solo UW

(soz for bad english and strange vocabulary :P)

Well now its lottery. Im glad they added Dying Nightmares cuz, now all depends on skills and luck.

IMHO
105<Nerf - good
55-SoJ<Nerf - good
55-Spellbreaker>Nerf - its hard to run already, but with luck u can do it.
In fact they shoud nerf low levels players with Drok armors on low lvl arenas for first... .

p.s sorry for my english

This discussion was one month old, why start it all over? Meanwhile it has been nerfed, even more than once. So the ones who answered 'yes' allready left... Didn't they?

no, i said "i'm going to piss off some cheaters and people with low reading comprehension skills".

why do you ask?

oh, and my bad for replying, didnt read the date on the OP and i dont solo so i thought that was the current build.

lol......I was gonna accuse you of flaming until I read the guys post. Your absolutely right!

Hanuman li Tosh · Sep 28, 2005, 09:02 PM // 21:02

to you 2, if may post made no sense then why did they nerf solo monk? to make it more challenging?

Artemis Bladewing · Sep 28, 2005, 09:03 PM // 21:03

WTF the last post was 9.9 before today.

For people who joined guru in September pls don post so much nonsense. This stuff is over, A-net changed it , live with the new build and play it good or pssssst and whine at the mirrior.

(and just to say it to all you guys out there, you cant cheat in GW. What ppl call cheating in GW is something some ppl figured out to do and using it and its too intelligent for the average community man so all call it a cheat.)

Hanuman li Tosh · Sep 28, 2005, 09:14 PM // 21:14

i said might as well be a cheat. it IS an exploit by definition. im sure people will argue the definition of exploit now.

you cant cheat in GW

please go load a bot then and tell anet you are not cheating.

*SIGH* more grammer arguments. You can argue the "dictionary definition" of exploit all day long, but the fact remains that Anet uses the word exploit in its update notes for people who cheat and get banned. As far as I know, noone has been banned for using a 55 monk.

How ironic that you want to argue words when in fact the 55 monk did not get nerf'd in the last update, the UW encounters got buffed. There is a huge difference between the two statements. That is also an interesting character name for someone who is so interested in following all the rules, as names like that do get banned all the time.

What game are you playing? I want my other 29 classes.

fergburger · Sep 28, 2005, 09:51 PM // 21:51

Hell yeah I'd continue playing the game. In fact, I'd like them to buff the UW further; I'm sick of every damn monk during missions being Mo/War's who suck ass at healing, "cuz they're used to soloing". I've encountered more than my share of those damn monks.

lol i guess people have to argue about everything. GW has 36 class combinations.

twicky_kid · Sep 28, 2005, 10:46 PM // 22:46

don't care if they nerf it all as long as protective spirit doesn't change in pvp. its one of the best skills on the game b/c it prevents spike dmg. in hoh or gvg you NEED pro spirit to survive long.

made about 5 different characters in pve getting my skills and buying my armor. did that for 600 hours. played for about 100 hours in pvp and unlocked everything. pve really means nothing for this game. its a place where you could get stuff fast in the beginning then switch to pvp and get stuff faster.

save yourself some headache. switch to pvp and find out what this game is really about.

Have not read the replies on this thread, neither will I bother.
The topic only itself explained how stupid this thread is. How can one assume that 'one' is playing this game because you can use those builds. How about when you did not know about those builds? Jeeze, ok I admit, when it's nerfed I'll throw Guild Wars in the garbage and never look at it again. Oh, the agony for not being able to solo the Under World, which one shouldn't in my opinion been able to do in the first place. Not saying that it's a cheat though, cause it isnt, just something that is unbalanced.
I know this build is "nerfed", but not entirely since you can still use protective spirit (takes longer time, but can be done), so I have heard.

I shalt not eat this candy in my hand, because they have stopped making my favorite candy.

bots play this game solely b/c of that build. their is an underground market in these games that you might not ever know about but people are making billions off of it. its fueled by things like this. they will pay one person to sit at that comp all day but they won't pay an entire group.

nerfing the 105/55/35 in that respect will help this game considering botters and duppers usually ruin a game (aka D2, WoW, Everquest, and any other game with an economy).
