I think most of the recent skill updates have been for the monks advantage actually. Not all of course but most Warriors have had their block stances nerfed pretty badly I'd say o.0 Although they mostly stop attacking you after 3 sec block anyways... Sins, Paras and Rit's have been hit hard I think.

To all the people mentioning the Soul Reaping nerf as a bad thing: How many here has actually had a major energy management problem on Necro after the nerf?

Ursan caused the most q.q. cry-baby whine for your momma.

Mesmers seemed to have had the most skills messed with over the years, but I could be wrong.

The most I'm not sure about. the most devaststing nerfs to a single profession. Warriors and Monks. it's extremely hard to keep a monk alive in RA now. Warriors are a "Total fail" in 4vs4 PvP without a healer. All the professions have had nerfs over the years.
but lets face it.
If you consider that you can't heal from your primary profession then nothing is worse than Warriors and Mesmers

Healing Signet -40 armor equates to no healing at all vs experienced PvP players they want you to use the Healing signet, as most times it means instant death with the -40 armor.
Lions Comfort disables your rez sig for x amount of seconds. "Fail" especially in 4vs4
There are so many ways to shut a warrior down that it is the very last choice for many in RA where you might not get a healer at all.

Compared to Sin who can get hugh armor boost and much more self heals from there primary profession. Sins needed to be nerfed and should have even more. They can maintain KDs very well and if you get KDed by and experience sin you can hang it up. your toast.

Poor mesmers have extremely weak healing from there primary profession

As far as PvE and nerfs. I think all the profession are fine. A nerf here and there is no big deal. Unless you're a solo farmer.

Diversion and Blackout were both adjusted very frequently in the first year of the game, although it's been untouched for a while

It used to work on all non-spell skills, like stances from other classes.

I laughed so hard the day ursan got nerfed.

Rit's have been buffed up again, as per para.

Para's nerf early on in nightfall made people think "when will this ever stop?!" (well, it did to me. )

I think there actually are pages like that... Atleast I've seen one for Aegis. I'll see if I can find it...

Well here is the one for Aegis... The project had been started once but no one was interested in continuing it, so there is only a page for Aegis, and it's outdated.
