R/A Nerf Set for Tomorrow (and probably the update)

Linsey just responded on her talk page on wiki, and apparently the R/A nerf is happening tomorrow...which I guess means the update is tomorrow as well (no surprise there).

Here's the link: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedb...ANGER_ASSASSIN (scroll to the bottom of the section).

Glad to see they're finally doing this. Escape R/D's and R/A's need to go byebye. Hopefully, they just make Escape end on attack and they don't do anything rash.

We've known that the skill balance was going to be tomorrow for at least a week, and we've had a pretty good sense of what's needed changing for a while now.

Cool, i was expecting the update this week.im happy its here tomorrow.
I might stay up just to play with new buffs.

Lets hope perma also gets hit hard.

Hence why I said, "no surprise there". We've all kinda known when the update would be, but you never know with Anet so it's nice to have verification.

Don't think that nerf is here already. At PAX they told they wanted a solution which nerfed SF but also stimulated people to group for UW and other high-end areas, gl on finding that.

I wonder how they will nerf it.

Well thats messed up,..... guess i might as well give up going with my w,r,mo,d and me, and just make my sin a perma.



50 bucks say theyll smiter boon escape,instead of actually fix the problem.

Hallelujah. About time R/A build was nerfed. Now most people without a brain won't be playing Random Areans anymore.

Another thing that needs a nerf though; is Shovespike. (well, just the skill Shove imho)

Yeah, that's what they did to Escape when all those damned R/D's were running around oh wait

Once that's nerfed, there will be more to nerf. Nerfing has no end until you just equip all classes with identical feather pillows and assign victory to whoever manages to play longest without going to sleep.

Summer camp pillowfight. Har.

+1, I hate the Escape builds but I don't get all the cheerleading for nerfs. If you want a fully balanced game play Mario Paint. Of course knowing some folks around here we'd wind up with a 30 page thesis on why the airplane makes better songs than the heart.

I guess they could make expertise only apply to ranger skills
that would remove all the builds that exploit the loophole.

Funny you say that, as all the terrible metas came into play (including this one) when skills were buffed.

Is this the R/A build everyone is hoping gets nerfed?

BTW, just bring a wild strike sassi to stop escape or mirrored stance. Or a mesmer or necro.

Well, that is true Cake. I stand corrected.

Glad to hear it, this meta is boring as hell.

Yes it is.

Wild strike doesn't help if you're getting anally raped so fast that you can't use it.

But you're right about the Mesmers/Necros. Dual VoR is still lolwtf crazy evil.

I lol'ed

On-topic: Thank god! No moar brain-dead faggotry R/As. Let's see crappy [rawr] get gold nao.

knowing anet's balance philosophy something else gets buffed beyond ... whatever in return.

nerf nerf nerf
why is everyone here on the forums nagging about nerfing?
i never hear the word buff around here which is strange
nerf flare pl0x
