im looking forward for it.
28 min = 27 boosts?
Thats a boost a minute?

A max of 5580 seems more possible.
That if you hold the flag for 13 times.

The current state is just ridiculous.
Thanks A-Net for the good update on shitty elites, and T-Down for more scrub melee buffs.
ALL blinding skills are dead, now there's _only_ GoI + Steam, blocks nerfed, it's impossible for _any_ caster to stay alive with those shitty scythesins, turretsins and interruptbot sins, seriously, buff some melee counters, skills that can blind, like a buff do Blinding Flash.The current meta is just a dumb joke.

I always liked stuff like b-flash/surge, very short duration, and it could perfectly be used to stop nasty spikes. Problem is however that the current supercharged melee templates don't really spike, they train stuff 'till its dead.

When you go buff blind durations however you will get the same annoying crap such as SoM me/n. Imho it's best to kill the nab melee templates such as RaO/scythesins and whatnot.

Hmm, when i read at QQforum and saw that Izzy was writing upp the Updates to the Top Guilds such as dR is kinda unfair and discriminating.. Now dR and the other guild would have a great "lead" over the newbs which can never take em, since dR can make the perfect build after the update..

It's called "observer mode".

Top guilds design builds, the rest just copies what works. Business as usual. It's realy not as "unfair" as you claim it is. At max it's a 1 day advantage. And that's pretty poor taking one season lasts a months.

I do also think that its Reversal than what Anet tought.. Whit the new update people are still camping but they are just following their Guild Lord :/ I do think that NPCS should be in but maybe that they came in Smaler Waves and Removed tbh the Victory Is Ours.. I dont like when its 8v8 The hole time.. When Splitting etc is kinda meh. Now u see Me they run RangerSpikke and won almost everygame...

People are now playing dual Incoming! Is that more aggresive playstyle ...?

Does Pain of Disenchantment burn health off for each enchantment removed, or just one amount?

And Way of the Assassin doesn't even SOUND balanced.

Abusing enchantments is funny until an ele has rend ench.
Abusing scythe attacks is funny until your target starts to kite and you realize that you dont have a kd.

ok, lies finally understand how to abuse a/d ^^ bring snares and take more than two sins. good job

Good stuff in my humble opinion, though the VoD changes are 1 or 2 years late. However, I'm concerned that split play is in danger of being eliminated. Sure, boosts and flags are still important aspects, but NPCs have been so drastically reduced in importance that they are hardly worth defending or killing. But maybe that's a premature conclusion.

I doubt Way of the Assassin becomes problematic. The scythe still crits very high. But the main reason for bringing scythe, VoD aoe, has been made irrelevant.

No doubt gimmicky builds will pop up, and anet will likely have to deal with them. Nonetheless, I look forward to the good ol' 8v8 slugfests upcoming this month.

Hmm thats not entirely the point, those button-mash builds just need to die. Not everyone plays GvG you know, and even less people are in the top 100. Don't give me that 'GW is all about GvG' stuff, anet shouldnt even have bothered building aother arenas if that was the case. Its not always the case that I get owned by gimmickers and therefore complain on guru, some builds are just dumb, and I dont like dumb.

(Thus, I stubbornly keep playing my warrior no matter what)
