The AI will shadow step to the first agro which usually means the player in an H/H or a melee character in a group. So the Assassin just shadow stepped to the strongest player in the group and is now standing there frozen, wow I am impressed. The AI has enough problems do we really need more stuff stacked against it?

I can see buffing stuff related to farming since it would eliminate some of the grind involved in getting high price stuff but buffing stuff to face any AI just doesn't seem necessary to me.

Nerfing SF or SH would be nerfing the skills, the monsters, and the players. Shadowsteps only accomplished 2 of those 3.

I understand where you're coming from but players do use them. Claiming that no PvE Assassin in GW ever uses shadow steps is just making sweeping statements. Simmilarly why did Signet of Mystic Speed get nerfed (or buffed as you may see it

) in both PvP and PvE rather than PvP only if they were only interested in PvE buffs?

Its silly to argue over such petty points really. Everyone here wants a more ballanced PvE but the length of this thread and variety of suggestions shows that just toning down Ursan is only going to paper over the cracks.

True, but a majority of players in PvE do not use it because there is no need to really.

(btw, Shadow Walk is better. Especially if you use Critical Agility to make up for the fact that you don't have an IAS stance.

Yeah well obviously it's going to happen. If they are going to change Ursan, they know they have to buff shit to make up for it. If you read the dev update, they said they were gonna buff "underused elites". Now, if an elite is underused it is because of two reasons:
a) it sucks, because it got nerfed in PvP because it was overpowered
or
b) it sucks, because other stuff is better than it that is overpowered.

There is a lot more of a than there is of b.

Now when you buff either guess what happens.

I'll let ya figure that 1 out.

(though you don't have to look far...just look at Ether Renewal and Shadow Form to figure out what happens.)

100% agreed on everything !!! Ursan has ruined PvE !!!

when anet announced the other day that they might be nerfing Ursan in 1 month... A guy in my alliance actually siad !!! Oh no that gives me 1 month to get Legendary VQ and Guardian !!! :L:L:L

I dont see why he couldnt just learn to play guid wars after that month or even now !!

Colm,

*wince* Maybe he H/Hs and is backline? I wouldn't know. I do know that with a good guildie, you can get Legendary Guardian without having to use consumables or ursan - pretty much a matter of adapting.

I bet there are people thinking that about Legendary Master of the North more than Legendary VQ and Guardian, though. I got most of my GWEN vq done during the GWEN reputation points weekend, and there was nothing except ursan teams around.

More on topic: I'm mostly for nerfing ursanway. I think having ursan when you actually do find that you might need a tank or damage soak is handy - but it shouldn't be so pervasive to the point that if you want to PuG, you're stuck with ursan teams all the time (and for monks, classic cookiecutter you-must-play-HB.)

I don't have a mez so don't think it's some sort of selfish reason.

I say, every profession should have a great build that makes them wanted in a group... Peace

Very sensible post.

To all those asking for nerfs: PvE is for fun. If you want competition, go PvP.

People at A.net are not so stupid.
They put in game UB and permasin intentionally and with specific purposes.

As the quoted poster said, before Ursan elitism was everywhere.
Idiot elite players, those that now remember the "good old times" of Prophecies, where everything was perfectly "balanced", have always ruined the game to others.

In Sorrow Furnace, PUGs where only looking for the standard 5 man build.
Everyone not compliant was rejected as junk.

In the period of ToPK, B/P was the only teambuild played.
I used to play in that period, having both a ranger and a necro, and saw hundred times warriors begging to be invited, and ignored as if they were the most unuseful people in game. I felt bad for them.

With Deep, only tanks-nukers-healers and maybe a BiP necro were able to be accepted in pugs. All others were considered a waste.

And the list of players' abuses is very very long.

From A.net's point of view, all players have the same rights.
A self-claiming "elite" player has paid 50$ for the game as every other player.

So they have intentionally introduced UB to put all players on the same level, thus eliminating the abuses.
VERY GOOD MOVE. The best since the beginning of the game.
A slap to the face of the elitists and abusers, which considered themselves superior just because they had the luck to have the right class equipped with a skillbar which was the "ursan blessing" for some specific area or dungeon.

And for the same reason, they buffed Shadow Form.
I don't think that A.net devs decided to do so without knowing about the possibility of the permasin and the related farming builds in the UW.
The SF buff was not requested by anyone, none said "hey SF is too weak, buff it", on the opposite it was considered too strong in PvP and nerfed.

A.net wanted permasins, wanted massive influx of ectos in game and price reduction, so more and more players could get a FoW armor, and not only those who farmed with some specialized builds and already had stacks of ectos.
All A.net customers have paid the same bucks for the game, those with 10k in the storage as well as those with 100 stacks of ectos.

The more players are able to enjoy every aspect of the game, including titles and FoW armors, the more potential customers for GW2 A.net will have.

An "uber elite" player, proud of his uberness in a world of noobs, will maybe buy 1 copy of GW2 for 50$.
One thousand "noobs" who enjoyed GW1, maybe will buy a copy of GW2 each.

A.net needs their 50.000 bucks to develop the game, with the measly 50 of the elitists they can clean their a$$e$ in the best case.

The chief for what we have now is the AI, and this is what would be an utter pain in the ass to do: Having to have monster adapt to thousands of skills, builds, professions, compositions, and positions is a whole crap load to take into note. Given the near millions of variables that exist in GW that you'd have to take into account for the monster to recognize, it's very understandable and acceptable of why we've been presented with what we have now.

Another difficulty is that even a good build could be ruined by balance changes that actually change the functionality of the skill - in fact, I seem to remember an assassin mob losing its chain due to one of the skills being reclassified at one point.

In Anet's defense, it would be pretty hard to come up with a good build for every monster in the game, since you're basically expecting the designers to outthink the entire player base. Limiting themselves by leaving out secondary professions until the very end and having skillbars that are only ever seen on bosses probably didn't help either

. Still, what they could have done is made a bunch of skillbars, seperated them into good, bad and mediocre bars, and used that to set the difficulty - using the weaker bars for the early level 20 areas and progressively stronger bars later on.

Except that the N/Rt isn't carrying around two interrupts that can reduce the damage taken by your party in the first place.

So we actually do agree here. But might looking at making Restoration a little less secondary-friendly not present the possibility of being able to fix both without knock-on effects? SR is an obvious target, I know, but might that push innocent Necromancer builds over the edge into nonviability?

Heroes actually won't use heals until they are needed and rarely spam shit. In most cases they won't use a heal unless if it brings you to as close to 100% as it possible can. ie if you take 50 damage they will use the lowest heal that they have that will heal you for it. This is something that can make Monk heroes good, is they always use their energy the best that they can given their AI. That isn't to say they can't break this (like say if the 50 hp heal gets diverted and all they got is WoH or something for example), but in most cases it's true. They just don't understand the concept of holding out, and try to mop all damage always, but they rarely RANDOMLY SPAM stuff on you.

EDIT:
Though IDK if they act differently in PvE. I only PvE with players now really, I only use heroes when I'm PvPing (hero battles is srs bsns)

There is no skill that does what Experitse does (lowers the cost of what it does), so it is comparatively, not better than anything, because there is nothing that does what it does. Attunements don't lower the cost of something, they make you gain energy when you use something. There are skills that can lower the base cost of something, but there is no skill that lowers the cost of Ranger skills etc by a %.

Yes, and that is why it is broken by effect and not by comparison. (Soul Reaping is rather broken by both but...). Skills get nerfed because of other classes all the time, it happens because of the dual classing. Burst of Aggression got nerfed because of Assassins, for example.

As I've said, I don't care if N/Rts are more powerful than E/Rts. All I care about is whether they're comparable.

This is a balance thread. N/Rts are slightly more powerful than E/Rts. Both are broken, and comparable (slightly). Both need to be balanced. This thread is moot anyways, since Anet won't actually balance PvE by the definition of balance, I'm just humoring them.

Quote:

Apt point, but both only interrupt spells, and in PvE you'll be swarmed by spells, and they have fairly long cooldowns whereas a lot of the dangerous spells in PvE have low recharge times. You're not going to be reducing the damage that much over time, and with the N/Rt's vast energy pool and shit, it doesn't matter if you slow the damage coming in or not, he'll keep up anyways.

I'd hit Restoration a bit too fyi since Ritualists are viable in PvE for other reasons that they aren't in PvP. Necromancer builds that are balanced don't really rely on Soul Reaping. MM's would be hit the worst if anything, but for Soul Reaping I'd like it to be this: "For every 3 (maybe 2. MAYBE.) ranks in Soul Reaping you gain 1 energy whenever a creature dies." in PvE only

At 15 (i know right?) you're getting 5 energy. Most of the time you'll be getting 4 if you run a dual attribute build. This isn't enough to make stuff free, and it is less overpowering compared to other e-management skills (though better than most, I'm sure.) It also removes the clock and such, so this wouldn't hit MM's as hard with a change like this because they are getting minion powered if needed. Factor in FF and SoLS and that'd be pretty okay.

A lot of people want the clock removed and for it to affect everything equally and to be 1 per rank.

Which makes me lol pretty hard. Then again some people want the minion limit removed so...

This is cool and all but with the way PvE is now its highly unneeded.

I agree with a lot of what you say Abnaxus but I think the players who demand a high skill level in high-end areas also have a valid point regardless of the fact they maybe outnumbered by the majority rolling HM with UB.

If what you say is true their opinion here is as valid as anyones.

I also agree that players should be able to enjoy every aspect of the game.I disagree with giving them an "insta-win" skill to do so.

It's a lazy answer to a broken game.

MMORPG's are judged, in part, by the challenge and skill level required to complete them and/or play high-end content.In this regard Anet looks the fool by having UB in the game.If it happened in any other MMORPG the result from much of the core fanbase would be exactly the same.

You can't put an "insta-win" skill into a MMORPG and expect people not to complain about it.Never happen.

To conclude games should be about more than just making cash and giving every player easy-access to all areas.They should be a challenge and rewarding and while I agree PvE was severely broken UB really makes the whole thing a joke.

Each to their own though.

Probably, for the way the class system in GW is designed, it's the only possible answer.

If you have a mesmer, your possibilities to join whatever PUG have always been close to zero. So you're practically obliged play alone, or if you're lucky to find a guild, but forget about PUGs.
Cookie cutter builds have always ruined the game.
Let's imagine that one day someone finds a teambuild with 8 mesmers capable of doing DoA in 1 hour. From then on, everyone would run that build, and every non-mesmer would be rejected.

The only way to change this could be only a radical change to the class system.

We should have "universal" characters, able to play every class, and the attributes should not be related to the class but to the armor for instance.

So, if you want to join a PUG that requires let's say a ranger, you should be able to wear a ranger armor and have all the attributes of a ranger.
In this way you could play with the same character in every situation.
And only in this case the real deciding factor would be the skill of the player.
That's for instance what happens with PvP characters, which can be deleted and rerolled according to the need of the team.

But GW1 is designed in a different way, so once you have chosen the class for a character, you have determined the destiny of that character.

Ursan Blessing is a solution that puts every class on the same level, and probably is the only one possible without a total re-design of the whole game.

You know, every monster not having 200+ energy and 4-10+ pips of energy regen would probably be a start.

The only mesmer elite worth taking in PvE is [Hex Eater Vortex], and only in EOTN areas.

lol

If ANet truly wanted Ursan/Raven/Volfen to make all professions equal, then all primary attributes should be set to 0 while under the effects of them. Also, Ursan doesn't put everyone on the same level unless everyone has the same norn rank; title discrimination now dominates profession/build discrimination. As long as different professions with primary attributes exist, build/profession discrimination is acceptable and understandable.

Equality doesn't equal balanced.

If it was ment to put everyone on the same level, it wouldn't have grind attached to its power. It also diverts the choices needed to make for your skill bar and attribution, aswell as not rewarding minimally decent play.

Also, I wouldn't want to play a paper mache Warrior. People just want Ursan because they steamroll everything with minimal difficulty. As for putting every class on the same level, not giving them absurd stats would be a good start.

Precisely, and it's only just because of a few skills. But unfortunately, they've also been the only exception. And once you identify how much of a threat they present, they're no longer troubling.

Interesting idea, horrible implementation. Remember how people would joke about people complaining about "class imbalance" and saying "hay make everybody a penguin and then it's balanced LOL"? Well UB does just that, except you have fur. It also fails largely because of rank requirement and the fact that every class is *not* on an equal level (warriors are still the most effective UBers).

However, it's still overlooking what should've been done: to balance the other classes. But then again, would that even do anything, as evidenced by Paragons still being looked at the weakest class in PvE (lawl)?

Also, a few other interesting tidbits:

And you do that by appealing to both crowds, both the inexperienced and the bad. Instead, ANet has appealed only to the bad and to people with a lot of time on their hands (i.e. not the majority).

maybe, but you never know for sure though. Personally i am not so sure that players who weren't vanquishing or completing elites areas in HM before introducing for example UB were bad or unskilled players. Some were for sure, but imo it's greater picture then that. Let's say WoW elite areas are not for skilled but for hard core and dedicated players but that was how Blizzard design it. In Anet case skill>time concept was suppose to be speciality of GW and actually both devs and players belived it but yet don't really know how it should work in pve as GW progressed. Let see : UB - is suppose to help all profesions to complete pve content but it's forcing players to grind to required norn rank.
Same goes with community: players cherish skill>time idea and yet at the sime time would happily accept situation in pve where not players skills are promoted but build and profesion discrimination.

If I don’t like .75 seconds there is no way I am going to like 1 second. I do wish that the duration of the shadow step could be adjusted in [Shadow Fang] using the Deadly Arts attribute. I really don’t need 10 seconds and once the primary target is gone, unless a secondary target is next to me, I am usually swarmed and unable to get to the secondary target, thus all I am doing is wasting my Hero monks heals. I do use Critical Agility but I also like to add [Drunken Master] for the increased attack speed and to chase down targets.

This kind of has me looking forward to the update. Who uses these skills most of the time? The answer is the AI, not only does it buff it for the player it also buffs it for the AI. ANET just has to walk a fine line to determine where to stop on buffs and nerfs (since I have no faith in Izzy or his top guilds to buff or nerf anything this could be bad thing too, great so much for the good part).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I don’t feel ursan blessing [Ursan Blessing] was intended as the great equalizer. I think it was more intended to be used to ease the title grind. I hate grind but I wanted Asura and Vanguard armor for my assassin, the most effective way to get to rank 5 is to turn in a book. So I completed 2 books (one for each title). I have ten character, all of them will have at least one GW:EN armor, some two. To accomplish this goal I have to grind 14 Hero’s Books out. Since I would be considered a hardcore player grinding books would not be that much of a deal but for the casual player grinding that many titles for whatever reason ursan blessing [ursan blessing] may be there to help them. If they fix the grind they may also remove the reason for ursan blessing.

As for ursan blessing [Ursan Blessing] fixing the party aspect, didn’t work that way. Before ursan blessing [Ursan Blessing] when you went to accomplish an elite mission there has always been the meta party builds. The only way to gurantee you’re going to get your Mesmer in a group for one of these missions is to H/H the elite mission (currently not possible in some elite mission). If you think nerfing ursan blessing is going to fix this problem you really are out of touch with the game.

Yet builds and professions play a major part in skill level still. Without a decent build you would be severely less effective, and some professions don't fit in for some groups. You can run a sub-par variant if you want.

In balanced pve: skilled players for example who own only prophecies and Eotn or only nightfall shouldn't be sub-par to those who own all chapters.

Leave the damn game be, it is fine. It is just a game! The game is supposed to be fun. If they wanted to make a game that was not enjoyable there would be no sense making a game in the first place. Stop cryin about making changes and enjoy the game. It is people like this that ruin the game and cause people to leave GW.

Personally, I am really tired of seeing people trying to come up with changes that will ruin the game. Anet has created the game, let them figure things out for themselves... If the game is fine in their own eyes, than the game is fine and they won't want to change something they already agreed on.
