Could be very good news for dungeon runners!

I didn't say that I just posted the notes you figure it out.

Yeah, EIGHT months ago I actually started a thread in Riverside about Spirit Bond trying to get ANet's attention about it's problems. I'm glad ANet finally got around to noticing that SB was acting annoying.

It was overpowered at 70: 1 energy, 2 recharge, used with lifesteal spells to mitigate sacrifice.

At 48 damage, they might as well restore the 5e cost, lose the sac, and call it a wireless Vile Touch. It's too flimsy to bother with otherwise.

Dark Pact is an example for a skill that should not exist.

It is either crap or only works so-so in some combinations (Vampiric Spirit) or it is becomes buffed and then is good enough that Izzy feels the need to reduce it to its previous shitty state again.

The Deldrimor Weapons idea is good, not that many would care overly much about it now. Maybe they also manage to unify their inscription-drops over the chapters, but I doubt anyone would bother besides the geeks who see their ultra rare weapon nobody has ever seen besides them become a little more common, causing and endless stream of tears.

Recycled shit for the 3rd B-day, as all the devs are busily working on GW2. Yeah. :> I am so glad my dad did not work on the 2nd child on my 3rd birthday.

* Updated the selection of Wayward Wands and Straw Effigies at the end of the Factions campaign to include attributes that could not be found on rods and focus items when that campaign was released.

I don't get this, can someone explain to me what they are talking about. Because as far as I know, we haven't added any new casters to the game since Factions, so what attributes were added that weren't around during Factions?

Is the wording just dumb, or is it me?

Why must it be either 48 or 70?
How about 60?
There is no such a thing called fine-tuning for Izzy?

It was being abused in GvG pretty badly. A change from 70 to 60 would have done very little to stop that, and reverting it was the right choice. It never should have been buffed that way to begin with.

Izzy has repeatedly tried to push Necromancers into the game by buffing various aspects of them. Nine times out of ten he later has to revert these buffs, because it just leads to gimmick builds that ruin GvG.

That was probably me. I posted screen shots of a ranger I made that had skills from 7 different classes on his bar at once. He could use them too.

I'm sure that thread is long since gone from here, but if you're curious they are still on my long-since-dead for lack of updates Guild Wars fan page. Just click the multi-classing section. I might finish/update that page at some point, but who knows...

abused?
What kind of abuse? spike or pressure?
Pressure with life sac is acceptable. And there is a spell called Scourge Sacrifice which is effective and cheap to counter.

And spike with 70 damage is not really deadly.

A change from 70 to 60 Does make it different imo.

duh. i paid a one time fee for the game so of course it should be expected that they continually update the game and give us better stuff. i thought everyone knew this.

560 damage 1sec cast for 1 energy every 2 seconds... followed up by angorororodn which heals your sac and gives you even MORE energy, which you can then freely dump into heals/defense. Nothing broken there...

So you are talking about all necros team spike again.
everything * 8 = a lot of dmg
That's why i said they should make things (especially life steal) non stackable just like AR.
Buff dmg isn't the only way to make necro viable in GvG.

The point is, there were too much thoughtless skill updates so that they had to fix them.
