We already know the "super broken buff" part of the update. You already mentioned it.

whoknows they might make more than expected.

Cool.. I can't wait for the update at last.
Hopefully it will be a monster update full of 1337 buffs to add new gimmicks to the game

Also, spawn power. It needs buff!

Lets see if you can make up for the delay by finally getting rid of shadow form.

*in before uwsc players BAWWWING*

Thank You Ms Regina, I was just about to ask when can we expect the April XTH rewards. I hope my third account will get its prediction rewards this time. if not it will have been the 4th....

I like Snow Bunny's ideas

Here's some more:

[Vow of Silence] 5e; 1/4c; 10r "For 5...9...10 seconds you cannot be the target of enemy spells."

[Extend Enchantments] 5e; 1/4c; 20r "For 5...17...21 seconds enchantments cast on you last 100% longer."

Also... remove energy loss from [Holy Wrath] ...

^^ should mix it up a bit

:P

Wow you guys are such bitches.

Anet tells you that something you want is coming, and you say the game is broken and they don't care.

Just be happy and wait a week for some skill changes instead of flaming.

Capulatio · May 07, 2009, 06:16 AM // 06:16

I agree, sins have been nerfed to dust, we need buffs!

LithiumPicnic · May 07, 2009, 06:17 AM // 06:17

Screw the skill balance, just add the following.

Pretty please ;-)

Luminarus · May 07, 2009, 06:21 AM // 06:21

[Decapitate] -> You lose all adrenaline and all Energy. If this attack hits, you deal +5...41 damage and cause a Deep Wound for 5...17 seconds. This attack always results in a critical hit. This attack has a 10% chance of instantly killing your target.

Might make it useable...

I laughed. Still, Sniper Support says hi. From EVSS we know that GW's engine reads 1/10 as 1/(10^10).

This thread is pathetic. When was that huge major update the likes of which have never been seen in GW? Oh yeah, like two weeks ago.

Demanding things is fuuuun.

This is nothing new. It has been going on since release and the sad thing about it is that Arenanet still bends over backwards to please them. Unless someone makes some overpowering build I don't see why we even need constant skill updates. Arenanet has changed the skills over a billion times already and pvp community stilll isn't happy.

Thanks for the update Regina

Apok Omen · May 07, 2009, 06:27 AM // 06:27

I was fairly happy with the last skill update. Got rid of a lot of problem skills/builds (rawrspike, WoW abuse, "encouraged" split, turrets) Even if they didn't follow our ideas, the game became a bit more balanced after that.

There are still a lot of problems out there. If Anet is also reading this thread, lemme give you a slight glimpse at what we are looking for:

*Increase casting time of all multi-enchant removals to 2 seconds (see ShatterStorm, PoD, Strip Enchant...)

*Decrease health debenifits of LC from 33% to 20%, maybe fiddle with energy/recharge/cast time

*Decrease power of PnH (Lower amount of hexes removed and lower expiration rate, maybe nerf cast time to 3/4s)

*Revert Warriors Endurance to a stance (Easymode needn't exist)

*fix Mirror of Ice to actually deal cold dmg and stack the damage accordingly

*Increase cast time of Protective was Koalai to 2 seconds

*Decrease duration and recharge of Recuperation

*Rework Assassins (see threads made by other players; they have some good ideas)

*Nerf Keen Arrow (damage-wise) and Hunters Shot (cast time reverted)

*Make it so that Strength of Honor and other damage buffs don't stack (Conjure xxx's, Judges Insight)

* Do what you want with PvE skills

A lot of people were happy with the last content update. Don't dissapoint the PvP side this time, please.

Kronos Ledaloth · May 07, 2009, 06:30 AM // 06:30

I don't think they will nerf SF, UWsc and FOWsc are still full of noob players that aren't able to finish them. These are the last farming groups remains, and lots of peeps just play gw for that (:rofl

. I think they will only balance the pvp for this upgrade

P.S. For PvP and PvE alike, Spawning Power needs a rework. Pleeeeeeeease?

Wow a Zoo and some stylists. Gee, they really outdid themselves.
Also, it only affected PvE, PvP is the heart of this game and it constantly gets ignored.

Ignoring things is fuuuun.

Uh...people have been waiting YEARS (not weeks) for proper skill changes.

Because they keep making stupid changes. I find it a bit humorous that anybody thinks this new update will be any different or better just because it is taking longer. It isn't taking longer because they are putting more thought into it (although I doubt that would help), it is taking longer because their other more precious updates were more important. I can't wait to say I told you so when the PvP community is uphappy once more. You heard it here first.
