I haven't been around when unnatural signet had the original stats, but that was also a fun skill:
"Remove the most recent "Nature Ritual." All of your skills are disabled for 60-36 seconds."
Energy Cost: 0
Casting Time: 15 seconds
Recharge Time: 75 seconds

ther is room for more nerf.

Back then, nature rituals weren't spirits, lasted for 5 minutes, were global, and that was the only counter.

They very commonly use smiter's boon and divine boon together. Still, this kills around 30% of the healing from those builds as well as making boon signet harder to use in them.

Smiter's Boon just increased your heals a lot with no drawback except a quick recast.

Divine Boon is laboriously painful on your energy.

The way to get TA fixed is to make a GvG build equivelant to that. Then it catches Izzy's attention.

hahahahahahah

is all i can say about smiters boon. good riddens

Tearz1993 · Aug 21, 2008, 06:41 PM // 18:41

2 second cast time would have been a better nerf for [Smiter's Boon] imo.

But whatever at least it's gone.

Zil · Aug 21, 2008, 06:47 PM // 18:47

Excellent nerf on Smiter's Boon. Too bad they nerfed D-Lunge instead of RaO though, but it's better then nothing.

Stolen Souls · Aug 21, 2008, 06:48 PM // 18:48

I guess now, whenever a skill gets overnerfed, we can say it was "Smiter's Booned"

The skill was actually VERY powerful as spirits were pretty much NPC's. You couldn't kill them. And that was the only thing able to kill them. Too bad all the spirits had like a 30sec recharge anyway -_-

Or we can call for 25e 90r on skills we don't like. I mean it's not unreasonable anymore.

Spirits were like Res Sig and had no recharge. You could only cast them once per instance, which made them great in RA and bad in PvE. They got PvE buffed. :B

Couldn't have said it any better myself

sixofone · Aug 21, 2008, 06:53 PM // 18:53

new code for nerf -> 25/90

"That skill got 25/90'd!"

Smiter's Boned?

"Shadow Form needs 25/90! Nao!"

(^that was not serious in any way, for anyone that wants to analyze it >_>)

.... can't decide which skill is better now

Spazzer · Aug 21, 2008, 06:59 PM // 18:59

Knock costs less energy and has no recharge time. And Charr have no interrupts.

Actually, I think Charr have PB on HM.

The Update Notes were posted early in Europe. We apologize for the confusion. Many of the folks on the EU web team are at the Leipzig Games Convention at the moment, so coordating a sychronized publish today was tricky with that and with the time difference.

The North American Update Notes will be published at around the same time the build goes live.

A Dev Update explaining the rationale behind the balance changes will be published to the official wiki as well. As the European Community Team is in Leipzig at the moment, I will be publishing the Dev Update to the official wiki in five languages. It might take a little longer than usual for each version of the Dev Update to appear on the site.
