RE: Nerf Bat 

WTF?!
Dervs are already imba at VoD, they dont need a 1/2 second time attack skill, let alone causing DW...
And why cant they just bite the bullet and nerf ancestor's rage already?

They have nerfed it, just not the way you want it to be nerfed.

what are you talking about? An AoE, uninterruptible lightning orb for 5 energy is hardly nerfed.

RE: Nerf Bat 

People will most likely still run zergway (although not on the scale it was run at), it will just not be as annoying as it was. Just have to wait for another gimmick, maybe spiritway will make another comeback or something.

RE: Nerf Bat 

I bet 5 bucks that splits will be the new FotM for GvG at least, probably a sinsplit with a monk to soak up any damage on them.

I like the VoD mechanic change they've done now, spike teams get worse and the game doesn't just turtle around until VoD. Sure, Splinter + Ancestor's will be important, but now you can actually gain some sort of advantage through killing NPC's before VoD.

For GvG, this update is pretty top notch IMO. For TA the nerf/slap-on-the-wrist for AoS might be needed, but I'd like to see that done another way really. Make it impossible to perma-upkeep it, or make it only work for "X...Y" knockdowns the next "8...10" seconds.

I guess this won't do all to much for HA though, IWAY will be a lot less common, but I still think there will be teams with them. The meta will probably change once somebody can think up a new build with Pious Assault... Not all too sure how I feel with handing out a 10 nrg deep wound that every melee class can use (yes, that skill is unlinked to the scythe). Perhaps we'll see sword warriors back into use? PA + Final Thrust seems like it could be interesting.
