Moving Closer to the Mark, Farther from the goal.
So they nerfed shadow form yet again. Did it stop UW SC? Yes and No.
Now the only profession that can do it is Sins. Sure, an ele with candy corn and a golden egg can hang in there, but for the most part, its the sin.
Instead of puting in a skill balance that brings players together, they have done something to further drive them apart. Now everyone is going have to scramble to make an assasin so they can Farm/Speed Clear UW, because if you are not a sin, you are not Speed Clearing UW and nobody wants you (that one necro aside). Oh and dont forget you will need your asuran, delver, and ebon titles high enough to use those skills to do damage fast enough to finish in a conset.
IMHO they should have put it back so it can be all inclusive to other classes, or nerfed it enough so that people actually have to play together to get that precious end chest.
Remember the good ole days when we could all do UW and DOA because anyone could run ursan? There were pug teams and guild teams all having fun and making money. Now, it is a hand full of guild teams that do DoA and a bunch of "individuals" getting together to do UW.
I guess if you don't have a sin, you are not one of the cool kids. I am glad I have mine, but I see the impact it has on gameplay, and they way I see it, the more we drive the team concept apart, the more people get bored and quit playing. The more we develop the sense of playing as a team, the more people play, have fun, and bring new people into the game.
