Wow. There's nerf and there's "raped to oblivion". 90 seconds recharge for a 5-second, 25e spell. WTF.

Thank heavens for the hero update. Let's see how effective they are now

instead of ruining skills he should listen to the players and do something about skills that seriously need some buffing e.g. [wastrel's collapse]
oh my heroes ain't gonna run in circles anymore? good cuz my dunkoro took 20 times the try to remove a hex from me cuz he constantly aborted his own spell with it

but seriously
anet, listen to the players, fix skills that need it
ty

ive got a few builds using wastrels collapse quite well, doesnt need fixing, if they fix it its just going to make some new absurd gimmick

anyway on topic

good izzy, good....now, just fix GvG...

Sarevok Thordin · Aug 21, 2008, 02:52 PM // 14:52

RaO rangers like to run [disrupting chop][agonizing chop][disrupting lunge] in TA. It's like being bukkaked with interrupts.

Too bad we got a huge elite buff 2 weeks agos

FoxBat · Aug 21, 2008, 02:55 PM // 14:55

The irony is that Lunge is the weakest skill on the bar, but I guess he wants to preserve the other two interrupts for warriors.

(assuming that this information is not a joke)

Clearly Izzy needs to put up a post on his talk page:

"Hi. I am not even bothering to try to make reasoned updates any more. If I dislike what a skill does to the meta, I shall no longer swing a nerf bat and try to leave you with a playable skill that is not overpowered. Instead, I will simply facestomp it to the point where even an Ascalon City guild wouldn't be caught dead with that skill on their bars.

Thank you."

I approve of the nerf in principle, but that has to be the sorriest "rebalance" in the history of Guild Wars. I think that is actually worse than the nerf on Prot Bond.

Nearly choked on my sandwich from that last line. Now I'm gonna ROFL everytime I see a RaO.

Molock · Aug 21, 2008, 03:02 PM // 15:02

If this is for real... YES!! Finally smiter's boon is dead, 3 smiter teams in TA are dead. Awesome.

C. Seer · Aug 21, 2008, 03:02 PM // 15:02

Its on the European website, i did check the wiki and US sites as well but didn't see anything there so just guess it is due to time zones.

No joke i hope

Did you see the pics I sent you yet? >.>

I've tried running builds like that before, it's like throwing random loads of interrupts at people... it's nearly impossible to interrupt anything unless you're really lucky.

Izzy couldnt balance a scale nevermind a game , what an idiot ....

It was severely overpowered, it deserved to die like this and we should be happy he hasn't waited any longer to destroy it.

Songbringer · Aug 21, 2008, 03:05 PM // 15:05

I am sorry but Izzy we all know you don't like smiting. However you should be nerfing for the sense of balance. WTF SMITERS BOON ARE YOU RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING KIDDING. Now that I have that out of my system. I don't play the meta with smiter's boon(since I don't ha and gvg anymore) but thats ridiculous. That is no a balance from the orginal skill. I am sorry I don't care how overpowered it was that is ridiculous. Stop nerfing with your stupid bias ass feelings and start nerfing for balance.

Dude, there's balancing something that's OP, and then there's breaking it so no one will use it. (Or,as others have posted, raping the sh*t out of it so no one will touch it.)

Vazze · Aug 21, 2008, 03:09 PM // 15:09

smiters boon is funny lol, but update is not online...yet
