but you wont get 10k for a stack anymore, cause the main market died. At this post it is 370 for 10, meaning 9.25 per stack, and it is probably only going to fall

Yes, continue to kick the usefulness of my sin into the toilet.

Thanks for your concern!

If you are doing another update, and I hope I don't sound selfish, but would it possible to fix some hero AI's? I really dislike the fact that my Xandra almost never casts destructive was glaive, and only uses Ritual lord and Soul twisting only after she summons all her spirits. I hope that you can resolve this too along with seeping wound.

Thanks

I have a theory behind this, and it is they have programmed the heroes with personality. 2 good examples of this are Tahl and Vekk. I run UA on Tahl, and sometimes she uses it fine, sometimes I have to micro it, just as if she is kinda moody. In the case of Vekk, a friend couldn't get him to use wards, yet Zhed used them fine.

If they do mod the hero AIs, I would like to see them keep this kinda trend, but yeah, it is crap sometimes when it affects all heroes of that class, or when there is limited ones of that class and only one is reasonably accessible (like the Rit class)

Please do not forget to revert nerfs done to Aggressive Refrain and Soldier's Fury as Test Krew failed at testing these changes also.

Thanks.

Oh that could be an idea actually, I will have to test that with razah once I get him. Never bothered to as rt heroes didn't seem all too worthwhile. Thank you.

Well, now that warriors have been buffed and SF sins have been obliterated to hell - I hope - I couldn't think of a better time to get back in the game. Thanks Anet, loved the update.

I have seen it happen so often with various heros that I think it is true. I mean, look at Koss and MOX's Agro Magnatism

Thank you in advance, Martin Kerstein!

But please, don't make the skill totally useless again, try to make it playable, increase the recharge a bit or tone down the dmg to 20.....25.

Now then, sins are now just 100% useless in PvE now. I mean, NOTHING can farm raptors AND get good loot at the same time (and no, W/N 100 blades doesn't count due to the fact that you get crappy drops when compared to permasin build).

wow, you never did learn to play the game did you.......

Hayt · Feb 26, 2010, 11:50 PM // 23:50

Wow, Anet ... how did you know that my Xbox 360 needed more playtime ... because (as a person who's already GWAMM'd his title character and filled his HoM with every item that I wanted) I had no goals left with Guild Wars other than to farm to buy vanity weapons and armor.

Considering you haven't provided a meaningful content update, farming was all that was left to me. Now you've killed even the small bit of fun that was remaining.

All you've done is irritate your veteran playing base who had nothing else to accomplish after spending well over 4 years on this game.

Oh, and having seen what you do as developers (and how the games old timers are treated with skill updates), don't count on a "return customer" when you push GW2....

DeVerseBakker · Feb 26, 2010, 11:57 PM // 23:57

Please make sure at the next update there isn't an accidental build that can be created like using SF in the 600 bar.. People are running Deadly paradox > Shadowform for DTSC Now it's perma spellbreaker..

Chocobo1 · Feb 27, 2010, 12:03 AM // 00:03

Bye Seeping Wound. You will not be missed.

Edit: Nevermind, failed nerf.

there's a difference between being useful and being overpowered.

^ It's still 21 damage at 12 CS. Still incredibly powerful.

Lanier · Feb 27, 2010, 12:17 AM // 00:17

to all of those who are pissed b/c of the nerfs to farming:

Please leave. You keep threatening to leave like the rest of us really care. Honestly, there is plenty of stuff to do in the game besides farm, so if you are so mad about the nerfs to farming, just leave already.
