"Oh no, you may have to think of your own build now, instead of using exactly the same build over and over again. The horror! "
Ireelevant point you just made. When people buy a game, they deserve the right to play however they feel as long as it was within the rules and did not cause balance issues. I enjoyed playing SS through missions with friends, and I can no longer do that. So naturally I feel robbed. It's one thing to fix something that threw off the balance of the game or was a mistake to begin with, its another to break something that wasn't doing anything wrong just because anet didn't like what it was doing. They dont like farming, so in an attempt to fix it, they just go ahead and ruin legit ways of playing this game. I'm sure if they can just find some people with half a functioning brain, they can figure other ways to fix things without trashing the whole game for some people.

Spirit bond got hit with the nerf bat too, Spirit Bond: expires after 10 attacks or Spells. so you'll be recasting it quite often. No more taking quest and kill 8 graspings and 3 aatxes together...you'll take more attacks than the time it takes to recharge.
