Does anyone ever use..... - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

I definitely prefer Raven.

1) No need to run around chasing your opponent trying to get a melee or two in while your attack skill(s) recharges 'cos of the cripple & bleed.

2) Excellent armor-ignoring ranged AoE damage, so it doesn't matter if the intended target's running around like normal, chasing after your squishies. The Ursan's double attack might do more damage, but since one or both of the attacks can miss (and maybe be blocked?)... And my timing sucks too badly to effectively use its AoE knockdown (ie, the intended victim's almost always moved on). :P

3) Blindess sucks - except when I can remove it at will and inflict it on the enemy. Not getting hit is nice.

The +XX% blocking chance, minor as it is, also helps.

4) Immunity to knockdown is also nice, expecially if you're in Norn lands with all the Centaurs, Jotuns and Frozen Golems.

Don't have an opinion on Volfen. Haven't actually used it yet outside of the tutorial quest for it.

I do not use raven/volfen(nor ursan) because they take away with what's to me one of the most fun parts of this game. Creating your own builds, and mastering them.

I like to toss Volven into an Ursan party for some deep wounds + attack speed buffs.

Raven is far to weak to be of much use to me.

i understand how many ppl see that ursan and so on are kinda lame to use and are a easy way out.
Ursan should be nurfed because i went in FoW as a complete noob with rank 10 ursan adn i completed it without dying once in a all ursan +2 HB monk team. Thats not cool in my opinion.
