BTW, just bring a wild strike sassi to stop escape or mirrored stance. Or a mesmer or necro.

Man, I kill so many Rangers packing that skill build in FA it isn't funny. Why are people whining about it being unbalanced?

yes, someone probably would, if they were interested in playing mario paint competitively. an accurate, well-distributed 30-page thesis would help increase the level of high level competition, making the game more fun.
also the cheerleading for nerfs exists because power creep makes the game more about which overpowered skills you run instead of how you play the game. less powerful skills require more decision making and lead to a more interesting game (from a pvp standpoint. pve is about feeling like a god and should have more powerful skills with laser beam animations and explosions).

Buffs are what caused this mess in the first place.

The past few times anet has ever buffed stuff it's been bad for the game.

So yeah that's why noone asks for buffs.

That was an Izzy thing, he hated smiters.

@ArlanKels - Most people in FA don't know how to play, they attack through empathy, they eat diversion every time, etc, etc. Whats good and bad in FA is not a good measure of game balance.

@N1ghtstalker - If you have been on these forums any reasonable amount of time you would realise the many threads made by people who want certain skills buffed.

I see what you did there.

No really, they are easy to kill with the right build i agree with that. I heard diversion was a non elite btw. Yes.
But also... :breath: they are annoying with the wrong build.

and nerfing made the crying go away?
half of anet's nerfs are just plain stupid and other just destroy the skill so it won't be used ever again e.g. smiters boon

Because a-net's fixation on buffs rather than nerfs has created some of the most horrible meta-games in GW.

They haven't done much nerfing, so no the crying hasnt gone away. (VoR primal LC WoH patient etc).

If it creates a better game, smiters boon away.

there's a difference between a buff and a game breaking buff, although Izzy fails to see it

have you ever heard of positive feedback?

this is what we dont want..

Stranger The Ranger · Sep 16, 2009, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Great, I hope they'll just revert the dagger buffs :>

I also hope they wont forget about Mind Blast this time >.>

The Arching Healer · Sep 16, 2009, 08:28 PM // 20:28

They will lengthen the recharge of death blossom. Another useless solution. Buff jagged, fox and nerf a completely other skill. GG anet!

Because you don't understand GvG. FA is not pvp its pve...

Now a serious question to myself. Why am I arguing with PvE players who think they understand and good at PvP? I am an idiot I know

ll Jamie ll · Sep 16, 2009, 08:35 PM // 20:35

Consider never posting again.

I'm glad this (R/A's) is going to be taken care, hopefully decisively without the template still being viable in one fashion or another. Unfortunately these types of metas seem to have a permanent negative impact on the remaining PvP player base, i.e. players having their "last straw" moment and quitting for good. Guess we'll see what happens with a whopping nine days until mAT.

Yes it is.

Here's to hoping that come tomorrow things aren't just nerfed, we always can use random buffs which led to the R/A in the first place. Only in 2009/2010 we won't see game balance updates for 2 months at a time, that has already been disclosed the last time I read regarding DEV comments and upcoming changes.

Oh the days back in '05, '06 when if an update was released and was found to be broken or resulted in a hindrance regarding gameplay balance, the next day it was altered.
