Yet another update and still no sign of a fix for the "dual-core crashing problem"! Why do they bother with nothing else but messing around with the skills when there's far more important real issues that need addressing?

Yup those skills were BS already but from the looks of this, PvP fellas liked em enough hence this "update". But what can we do about this, we re just mere PvE people

for the casual pve'er (which is an abuse magnet on these forums), these constantly changing/nerfing of random skills once or twice a week is quite frustrating
oblivion: the rules are set and you can count on things being constant if you want to change things up yourself
I know gw is different.......but for many players they just want a casual pve experience

well this sucks.....

*Kicks the bloody corpses of turret rangers, EC spikers, and angodoron's gaze*

Suck it, lame overpowered gimmicks! Overall, a pretty nice update.

Did you perhaps miss the part where rangers were doing more DPS than a warrior from range? Can you see how that *might* be imbalanced?

Odd. I've never seen anyone use Guiding Hands except, on about a couple of occasions, myself (just for a joke). The reason for this is; nobody uses wind prayers. Not sure why it needed a nerf.

Spiking in PvP. Lots of dervs/assasas equipped it.

Dervspike used guiding hands to make a completely unprottable spike. If you'd pressed "b" sometime in the last few months, you would have seen in at least half of all matches.

Just because wind prayers is shit in PvE doesn't mean it's not really, really good in PvP.

Lol, that's some funny stuff there.

RiKio · Mar 20, 2008, 09:15 PM // 21:15

No more Pew Pew Rangers

no more Sycthe sins

No more Conundrum Spike

Snow Bunny · Mar 20, 2008, 09:17 PM // 21:17

For you all saying these nerfs are unnecessary/random...

Fox's and Guiding Hands were for Warriors, Assassins, and Dervishes to spike through Aegis/Guardian/[insert block skill here]

The ranger skills were cheap, spammable, hard hitting, especially on a turret ranger.

The necro stuff is anti-blood spike.

Memsers had a rather ridiculous Conundrum spike.

All PvP-related nerfs, so let the QQing commence.

Horseman Of War · Mar 20, 2008, 09:18 PM // 21:18

was Magehunter Smash really TOO powerful after they finally made it a real elite last week?

8 adrenaline seems a bit steep....

...just my opinion tho. 3 Years and my favorite elite warrior skill remains DBS..

That data is flawed since it doesn't factor in Obstruction bugs and a missing Z-axis.

Carboplatin · Mar 20, 2008, 09:23 PM // 21:23

bye bye ranger, i just started to play her again too. 3...10? wtf +10???

I don't think it's that hard to avoid shooting walls. I guess I'm an elitist or something.

PvP screws people over, as usual. Big surprise.

Not everyone knows them all by heart.

If you follow the link provided in the first post - you end up on the wiki page explaining the changes. The you click the skill you are interested in (in terms of how it was changed) and above the skill description you have 4 buttons - article/discussion/edit/history. You click "history" and previous versions of the skill appear.

So you never stood in plain sight of the target (or meybe even NEXT to it) and kept getting "The target is obstructed" message? And then moved around and STILL got it? Even though there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING between you and the target?
Must be a PvE thing then ...

Nothing that would interest me about the update really.
