If you're going to put Sabway on the list (Which, IMHO is not over-powered, but a very good synergizing of skills made by a very skilled player), add every single solo-farming build.

The only thing truly overpowered in Sabway is Soul Reaping.

And if it's human players, your normal non-Soul Reaping energy management (GoLE comes to mind) should be good enough. Unless you're bad.

Just to reiterate, this is not a list of what I think is over powered but what ya'll think is over powered. I don't know enough about any of these to say one way or the other. Yes, I know, it's sad that after 3 years I don't know this stuff but it only because I don't care. I just care about what I use and that it works. I don't care how it works, only that it does.

I'm not sure about the ones who are being sarcastic so if you are being a smart ass, please add /sarcastic or something so I know and don't add it to the list.

As far as Sabway goes........I thank him in my head every time I vanq an area with just me, the necro's and what other hench I can fit in. I don't think it's over powered. I think it is just the thing to help someone who can't find help or who just wants to play alone. So thank you Sab. You totally rock!!

I agree.

Things that rely on stupidity aren't overpowered, it's that the AI is dumb.

Things that rely on player skill to be stronger aren't overpowered, it's how good the player is that determines how "Overpowered" the skill is.

The power of sabway has nothing to do with the skills. Soul reaping going berserk and allowing the necros to furiously mash buttons is broken. It will likely remain broken, as Anet's best attempt at balancing it was a clunky, inelegant timer.

dude, chill.

and at this rate you're gonna be listing every skill in the game.
I haven't looked at everything, but I only agree with perma SF (but still like it ) and [ursan blessing]. That needs a nerf.

Heals in general. I mean red bars go down but why red bars go up?

Honestly, why start this thread if you cannot understand the sarcasm held withing Amity's 'overpowering' effects? If you continue to add such ludacris sugguestions then I throw Tease and Scribe's Insight into the list. Honestly.

The fact that this was added to the OP proves someone spends more time on forums than in game.

Man im looking at that list, a lot of those skills are not OVERPOWERED, they are jsut good (so im agreeing with [DE] ). Ursan is not "overpowered" its just "powerful" and "overused" there are much MUCH better builds and teams to use. For example, "There's nothing to fear" is not overpowered, just (once again) good, and thats why its a non-elite PvE Only skill. This thread seems more like a rant for all the skills people are annoyed with. i mean, Protective Spirit, reversal of Fortune, Necrosis, great dwarf wep... Mesmers, Dervs, Paragons!? No, they are not overpowered they are just proffessions where you need to actually think to use them properly, (ie: Imbagons, that was ingenius) and well.

It is hard to judge where a skill is over powered and the AI is just way to stupid.

[firestorm] could have been called overpowered when the AI just stood beneath AoE dmg.

One thing that really should have been looked at a long time ago is the use of skills(or abuse) from secondary professions.

The simplest fix to this would be to shift the break point for most skills to 13attribute points.

This thread is evidence there needs to be licenses in order to discuss game balance.

sliver armor is not over-powered. its only use is for solo and with shadowform. how many ppl actually put sliver armor on their bars when not using it to farm.if they were to nerf it to the effect where it couldnt deal enough dmg to kill a boss, it would only be used by shiroken eles.
