There you go fixed it for you.

UB is far from dead. They made it to where r8 is the same as r10 basically. And it dont effect consets. so there effect is still there anyways. And if ppl were retarded in the first place to have nothing but UB on there bar well that was there fault, majority of the better players had back-ups anyways.

On a side note, I'm glad to see SoM got hit.

And say hello to Life Transfer.

Ok, mostly cool update. Elite skills are nice. I will look into some very closely.

However those saying that Ursan wasn't nerfed is complete bogus. They made half of the real damage diminished by armor, a real problem since the damage in UStrike was armor-ignoring. Health isn't buffed as much as it was. It was...nerfed.

Yes stats go down to 12, I pointed that out 2 pages ago.

With only minor exceptions I think they did well with this update. This is the kind of support that makes me keep playing Guild Wars and thus more interested in GW2 (more GW2 profit to them if they have good support/updates in GW1 imo). Thank you, Arenanet.

Nude Nira · Aug 08, 2008, 01:13 AM // 01:13

Well, well, well, look who was right...again. I was right about EVERYTHING, and hardly any of you believed me.

P.S. Regina is viewing this thread.

/waits to see what tweaks they make to the buffed skills

As a pure-PVE'r without GWEN skills, I'll enjoy a lot of these, even the weird ones.

Master of Magic looks really evil at the moment. ^____^

Granted, people who don't grind are indeed in the majority (people using PvE skills aren't however), but like I said earlier in this post it was the wrong solution to the problem.

In regards to the rest, I can just say to reread my post again. They could just add a puzzle-mode or racing mode to option, right? It would make the game "more fun for more people", right? So why not?

And "fixing my post" implies not butchering the hell out of it. They made the game "funnier"???

When you get a mega-crit with Sniper Support, one of many (I don't know how many, I saw at least five unique ones) messages appears in your combat log.

"One arrow, one kill", "Snap, Headshot!" and some plea to Balthazar are the ones that I remember.

Neat.

acerbity · Aug 08, 2008, 01:24 AM // 01:24

I have no idea (yet) whether Arcane Mimicry will allow you to use UB straight after losing it or not, but if so, that's an easy fix in the next update: make UB a form!

If AM can't help you there's a nasty 60 sec recharge waiting for you when UB runs out.

Hi, Andrew and Regina,- nice to see you two following the comments on the latest "tweaks"

Doesn't work on forms, thankfully.

Why, ANet, why did Expert's Dexterity have to be killed?.............

Oh well, better than nothing I suppose... some of the elites are worth trying out now...

ED used to suck, now it sucks less. lol?

Wow, I never expected ArenaNet will REDUCE the damage penalty on Shadow Form rather than nerfing it to make it worse:
http://infinitejestchallenge.files.w...hip_cookie.jpg

You deserve a cookie ArenaNet.

I was a bit dissapointed when they changed Glimmering Mark and Thuderclap, I was planning to use the Thunderbow build against the Kurz in AB.

On the other hand, Extend Conditions buff kinda give me some innovative ideas with my Mesmer, but don't know which profession can inflict more than three conditions. And I do want to create some builds using Lyssa's Aura and Master of Magic as means of energy management, but I belive ArenaNet will have to nerf it somehow due it's overpowerness.

And WTF on Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support, it's a complete overkill.

Windf0rce · Aug 08, 2008, 01:33 AM // 01:33

As a whole, the update looks excellent.

Hitting Ursan and buffing many other skills hopefully should increase by a fair amount the build options for us all. A step in the right direction.

I was hoping buffs to Fast Casting and Spawning Power in PvE, though. And maybe a Wounding Strike or "SY!" nerf.

But still, very happy about the update.
