Perhaps make it to where a subtarget
a) doesnt overcall the main target.
b) Maybe create a new window for subtargets, two at most (I hardly find any mes or ranger that can watch more than two targets, three sometimes)
Assigning a target by ctrl +1 and ctrl +2
c) doesnt show up on the other players screen so does not interfere


but what do I know, Ive just been playing this game for 31 months
How about adding the health bars of opposing team like in observer mode??

I guess that may make it tooooo easy....Not sure. It would make life easier finding who is running low on health and needs a spike

Im quite sure the pvp community does not like being ganked and increasing the ease of ganking or being ganked would piss many people off

GW will count this as a disconnection and when you launch GW again you will DL the patch and be reconnected.
Atleast last time I checked this is how it works.
You can't reconnect to your session if there's a patch to download. If there isn't a patch to download, you can do the restart thing or kill the GW.EXE process.

As this game continues, we will get less and less updates, as the game is getting older and work on GW2, you know.

You won't need to worry about that for much longer.

Definate no, seeing entire party and seeing which target is low and needs spike will definatly start to make warriors lazy and begin removing battlefield awareness from them.

Even the subtarget idea I suggest would start serving to that effect, but a lot of times when I take a low ranked person in tombs and ask them to do something, they have trouble getting back to thier target quickly after a spike, especially if i want them watching two people.

I know I will be flamed for this, but:

I hope A-net nerfs Signets of Illusions working on PvE skills, two main reasons:

1. It's unfair on all other proffessions who must grind just to get some effect from them skills, saying Mesmers are bad in PvE is far far from a good excuse.

2. People will stop using real Mesmer skills, and soon that whole Vanguard/Greatdwarfweapon stuff will be the Mesmer "cookie cutter" for lack of a better term, I'd rather see a build that atleast uses Mesmer skills as that position.

Not that I see anything wrong with SoI itself, it's a very interesting skill, as opposed to PvE skills with were a shit idea anyway, badly implemented as well.

I know A-net will not do this since they will cave into all the noob Mesmers who think they have no options of PvE. But I though I might share my unwanted views with you.

My fave character is Paragon its practically nerfed every other patch.PVE is becoming more and more limited with them.My original comment was ment to be humerous and instead your turning this into a flame fest.

Dont throw around personal insults based on false assumptions.

No skill changes, only an economic balance that allows players to become millionaires in the last year of GW1

Here's the leaked version.

Paragons and Assassins removed from the game.

All PvE skills regardless of rank requirement now work as if you had 1 attribute point invested in it.

All skills balanced in a way that requires no further goal post changing every other month.

Ok I was joking about the last one.

From a High end PvPers Point of view, that would be perfect, I won't say anymore, as to prevent a flamefest.

CTRL+ALT+DEL, Gw.exe => Kill process. Restart GW.

I'm really curious on what they'll nerf... and buff, if happens o.o. Hoping for pet un-nerf but maybe I'm hoping too much, that and normal SR timing.

I have no clue actually, but probably Ursan somehow.

I actually like the miscellaneous updates, like little things.

SoI is an illusion attribute skill. If a person wanted, they could go as a secondary mesmer and use it on their pve only skills. They won't be able to put 16 pts in illusion, but they'll still be doing very well with the 12 pts.

Most PvE mesmers don't use SoI religiously. Its generally used for gimmicky builds in PvE. Its not really in need of a nerf.
