I'm a little confused why this was done.

Well it was time to nerf monks...still is. Still takes too long to kill one solo.

I guess it was because it was so much better than any other anti knockdown skill, which is stupid beacuse its not accually over powered the rest just suck.

Too bad about Aura. I mean, yeah, it did deserved a nerf, but not so much. At least activation time is same...phew.
Pious might be worth taking now.
I'm glad about Fear Me. Totally deserved. Let's hope this will reduce the number of IWAY groups in HA (which is at 6849898646543 and counting).
Nice lil update :]

Monks are designed to be able to cope with attacks from 3 or so poeple alone, they are not really balenced to a 1v1 level.

Yes, ANet are going to nerf it because someone pointed out it's a melee attack, not a scythe attack. I'm sure ANet didn't know. :\

Aura can only be cast on another target, so this nerf doesn't affect killing a monk solo at all. Besides that, GW is a team game, not a 1v1 game.

I'm gonna start to run Pious assault

All the time

SO the VOD changes are ridiculous. I was watching Obs the Guild lord walked into NPCS around 22 minutes and took about 400+ dmg from each archer, died in about 3 seconds.

Zabe · Jan 23, 2008, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Tell me how iway was nerfed? They cant just randomly spam fear me, but it is still recharged by steadystance, what was its point in the start

undeadgun · Jan 23, 2008, 07:54 PM // 19:54

nvm.........

Aera · Jan 23, 2008, 07:55 PM // 19:55

Croco Clouds · Jan 23, 2008, 07:55 PM // 19:55

Still no nerf on ursanway

It's really annoying for ppl in DoA that spams "r8/r10 ursan lfg", "GLF ursan must be r10"...

i herd whenever there's a skill balance there's a thread in riverside and a thread in glads.

I'm surprised [skill]Mind Blast[/skill] didn't take a hit. It's superior energy management to anything else I can think of.

It's good, but not over-powered. Fine as it is.

I know, I'd probably cry if it was nerfed but it seems too strong at regenerating energy and maintaining high energy levels. Compare it with [skill]mantra of recall[/skill] which gives a return of 12 energy every 20 seconds at 12 Inspiration Magic.

Mind Blast combined with Fire Attunement grants (-5)+7+2=4 energy every 2 seconds which is up to 40 energy in a 20 second time-span at 12 Fire Magic. It also has some damage added on to it for good measure.

If my numbers were correct, then that's why I feel Mind Blast is so strong. Even if my numbers are wrong, I do know for sure that I can spam Rodgort's Invocation on recharge.

Hott Bill · Jan 23, 2008, 08:35 PM // 20:35

Finally! Good bye, Iway. Good riddance.

Racthoh · Jan 23, 2008, 08:40 PM // 20:40

You'll probably still see IWAY teams. Steady Stance and Fear Me! have the same recharge so it just means they Fear Me! slightly less. There is still that whole thing about warrior DPS to worry about. Just kill Steady Stance, something along the lines of "the next time you would be knocked down while not performing an action" would do it.
