i imagin that the guy posting that comment can't see the point of mesmers either...

they only 'nerf' exploits. no one class should be able to solo UW better than all others. monks could. end of story.

farming is good as long as you do not have an unfair advantage over people who do not use your build. if a Me/W and all other combos could solo UW as well as the Mo/W then it would not have been 'nerfed'

I've seen/used atleast 9 different character combinations that can solo the UW...Monk/W isnt even the best one. Your battle against solo farmers is grossly annoying.

/sigh
won't let things alone will you Algren?
I agree the point that there are many farming builds for UW
many can only deal with Aatxes.
some can do a little bit more. all however require skill. the thing that this game boasts to be about. Mo/W never required skill (i'm happy with the current Mo/W UW farmers because it requires thought and skill to survive the dying nightmares.

I was supporting your post Algren. and you simply start shouting at me for what has been said in another thread. i was using UW as an example. not taking advantage to 'battle' against solo farmers. (not that i have ever had a problem with solo farmers, there is a difference between people who have no skill spamming divine boon and people using ripost to counter certain attacks at the right moment).
It seems that we are getting along like a house on fire (screaming, crashing)
I'm trying to be pleasant and comment of the topic of conversation and you simply bite my head off for what has been said in another thread.

It's just sad...I'm sorry. Why you would care how other people play their game is beyond me. I just simply can't fathom how it affects you. Every single class in the game can solo areas with good drops....your crusade just makes very little sense to me. I apologize if you feel as though I am attacking you, as I'm not. I just don't think you need to post about how "nobody should be able to Solo UW" in threads that it doesn't pertain to.

It's just sad... I'm sorry. why you seem to feel the need to complain about every little niggle in the game and flame everyone who disagrees with you is beyond me. I just can't fathom why you do it. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and to voice them as they see fit... your continous flaming of people who's views don't mach exactly with your own makes little sense to me. I apologize if you think i am suggesting that no one should be able to solo anywhere, as I'm not. i just don't think that you need to start insulting people over the effectiveness of rangers on a thread that it doesn't even purtain to.

I never posted "nobody should be able to solo UW" i said that no one should be able to solo UW easier than others. whats more that was not the thrust of my post, the thrust was to show that anything that makes a class easier to win with gets nerfed.
you seem to pull the tiny bit out of a post that you dislike and attempt to begin an argument over it EVEN IF IT WAS NOT THE POINT OF THE POST.

you can't balance this game around skills that are unbalanced in a PvE environment. The 105/85/55 monk is useless in PvP..so there's no point in bringing up any more discussion about nerfing it.

Popularity != imbalance

Indeed, however, it should be said that imbalance can lead to popularity. Skills like Nature's Renewal and Ether Renewal are/were like the celebrity skills of guildwars, but they both got that status by being simply over-powered and much more effective than skills that attempted to accomplish the same thing.

If ArenaNet's reason for rebalancing skills like NR was just because it was popular than I would be worried, but so far it seems that they have focused on skills that really needed to be reigned in. Of course, there were also some skills that weren't functioning as they were intended to in the first place, but I would sooner call those bug fixes than balance issues.
