Not going to cry over the loss of the A/E Master Sliver build, ANET apparently wants me to switch to the A/E degen build and farm the UW even more so I feel compelled to do what they want me to do, cya down below. One little problem, I got all the ecto I need for the armor I wanted, guess I could always sell them to the trader.

What are they thinking, they just nerfed 90 percent of non primary sin farm builds and left the primary (and troublesome perma sf ecto farm) still alive and kicking.

gg a.net gg.

The first part of these three GW years where great, now its just bullshit. I'm out of mmo's why bother really anymore.

ps and the people that wanna stay and saw there SF build nerfed, well just go make a perma sf sin and farm uw for ecto's you'll still get more income then from your previous builds

they sure shot themselves in the foot by adding a factions skill to UW though. They've opened (probably re-opened) the doors to "hey, why not add more skills from more campaigns, and inscribable items, and scythes, spears, daggers, paragon shields to UW and FOW?" since they clearly can do it after having added signet of disenchantment.

Which is a really valid point. Why don't we see spears, scythes and the like down there? FOW and UW are available to anyone with factions prophecies or nightfall. If you can add signet of disenchant just to nerf a build why not add more items and skills to make it more challenging & rewarding?

Luckily I bought kinda enough ectos.

Hellomawi · Jul 03, 2008, 02:25 PM // 14:25

Hmm.

I'm pretty fed up with people saying "omgz lyke nerf ursan next!"

Some of us don't live at our computer screens and have lives. Ursan is a way to help those of us who don't have a lot of time on our hands to actually get somewhere in game. It's not like you can just buy ursan and it's there. You do have to farm the points and it does take a little while to do. With the SF nerf, I was really enjoying the fact ecto had been brought down a peg or two. I actually thought I might be able to afford to get FoW armor, now thanks to the nerf, it's back up again. I don't see why they've started nerfing things when they've been talking about guildwars 2 coming out. Why not just leave it? Not like we'll be able to take our ecto or armor over to guildwars 2 is it?

People who think they're "leet" probably just ebay buy or spend their life at their computer.

This way, rich people will always be richer and poor people will always be poorer. This is NOT the way to fix economy...provided that you really want to fix it, of course. Thanks to this two updates (the one that permitted Ectos' insane farming and the one that finally nerfed it), you only made the gap between rich players and poor players WIDER. Nice move...

Actually, i made alot of ecto going from poor to rich in a matter of a few days. No one cares about greens anyways, so thats a lost cause. The thing is this update really was pointless because you can still effectively farm uw, already a new build in the farming section and everything. I was pleased at first, but now I say it wasn't enough.

They need to take out ALL of the banished dream riders and put in Cursed in their places.

And then people start to use Shadow Refuge to counter the burning. Then that gets hit by the relentless Anet nerfbat, right out of the park as usual. That izzy sure knows how to swing.

That's why Normal Mode is. Btw, you don't have time on your hands, but you had the time to grind r8-10 of Ursan and r6-8 Lightbringer? PLEASE STOP THE LIES. You just want everything easier.

Energy extensive spam ;d Imo make it so ,,While under an effect of Shadow Form, you can have only 1 enchantment except for Shadow Form''. And 50% dmg from DIRECT damage.

Kinda agree....Nolani Academy will become prolly become a good deal more crowded. Or Rata Sum will be invaded by W/Rt's rather than E/A's.

There are more combinations. There is also a skill that causes buring on knockdowned foes. I saw someone posting that build as well. There are so many options to continue farming. That's what make the game so cool.

That was pretty much the point I was trying to convey. This is an exercise in futility if you don't get to the core problem and only apply bandaid solutions.

Time to Ether Renew... err.. Shroud of Silence moar skills.

Whats funny is, you spent hours at your computer farming points for your precious Ursan Blessing over and over, and now you're trying to justify it saying it saves you time on other things because you have a life.

And you'd be surprised how many people with FoW actually have lives and don't ebay, theres just the difference that they don't suck at the game.

On the topic...replace all dream riders imo

If you dont have the time to "get somewere in game" without Ursan you need to stop playing. People who didnt live at their computers got on fine getting through the game in the 2 years before EotNs release.

MMSDome · Jul 03, 2008, 04:07 PM // 16:07

Dang being on vacation when I got to a computer and read the update I was quite amuzed! Good update I thought it was needed and I liked how they went the extra mile to add new enemies to make it even harder.

Bravo A-Net!

PS: This has been said before and I will say it yet again... To you people bitching about ursan not needing a nerf because you people have lives and need something easy in order to get through I dont understand you. The point of the game is not just to steam roll through easily it should take some creativity with a build not just hitting one school and then 1, 2, 3 that doesnt make sense. If you are so busy in real life then why even take time to play the game. When you first bout this game you didnt know there was such thing as ursan blessing (who the hell buys a game for 1 RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing skill?) you bought it because it looked fun and there was a shit ton of skills at your disposal. Get creative people making a build wont take a big piece of your life out it takes 2 minutes.

Get over yourself.

please read this thread, you are contradicting a lot of players here on GW,
people that make their own builds don't get in to pugs, you have to run an "approved" build
