I think what he means, is they were trying to nerf the Assassin (which, all in all is quite a bad class for the game), then introduced th Scythe, which ALREADY had high damage, introduced Shadow Prison, and came GW:EN, Way of the Master came along...

1. You're overestimating the power/influence of the Scythe Sins IMO.
2. I am under the very strong impression that comment was made in regards to more recent nerfs.

All in all spot on, but im pretty sure most that were around then knew this already. But, we weren't all around then, so, good post.

Anywho, my only (small) gripe is the above quote, I dont know how you added up you're numbers, and im too lazy to do my own, but the current sp sin doesn't have nearly the amount of killing power as the old one (you have it listed as a 10dmg difference?). I mean, once again, I havent done any adding of numbers, but just taking one out and using it and you'll notice a pitiful difference in dmg.

Oh and:
Virtual Love!

I haven't played in many months till recently. Haven't noticed any real difference. Then again, I only PvE.

it's really hard to say actually. personally i've never played the second SP sin (the one with horns and impale), so i cannot quite compare the damage. however, i DO know for sure that the third SP sin did more damage than the first one. i was instagibbing people pretty easily with it. i would test it on the master of damage to make sure, but i don't think how much damage it did exactly matters at this point.

oh and:

Broodright Bradez will kiSu too.... FOR A PRICE!!
