hm, imo anet are basically nerfing alot of the metas before the rawr tournament, so that hopefully we will see some new builds and ideas in there, its a good idea imo, although maybe would be better to implement them closer to the time.

I was surprised to see what was updated, updated. Didn't look like it was "that" much damage to builds though.

*sigh* well, with penetrating attack nurfed like they did, I'm gonna have to see if i can replace it. Really sucks too, it was a good back up for when there was only an enemy or 2 left and I didn't feel like barraging it to death, lol

This is kinda proactive, so that the fox's promise A/D's wont just mutate into D/A's with aura of grenth.

Hex breaker and mantra of concentration made bsurge ele's impossible to shutdown, so warriors couldn't do anything, they could orb on recharge and never get interupted, spam bsurge all they wanted, and never get punished for it.

GG 50 DPS turret rangers that spike every 2 seconds.

Countered MHsmash warriors that have an unblockable KD, and can get their adren really really fast with mokele.

I hoped they had restored flame/storm djinn's haste back to 33% speed boost instead of 25%...
raptor farm became harder without that extra 8% :\

good.
machine gun rangers were annoying anyways, not hard to counter but deadly
angorodons doesn't really hurt bloodspike much, they should have decreased dmg alot more, aswell as strike... just more spammable now
magehunters still usable but kinda not worth it that much anymore imo
gj anet
No ur not, ur a ranger.

Every day is a winding road. Curses is apparently ballanced perfectly.
Enchantment removal to rival a mes?
As monks have hex removal that may or may not be ballanced with the effectiveness of those hexes + the difficulty of casting them in a fast paced environ such as pvp?
has an innovative build based around hexes got a chance of ever being accepted by the metta police?

a couple of months ago i never would have thought of seeing power shot nerfed in my life. Would be nice to see some buffs especially to some kind of non gimmicky nec/sin pvp builds but overall it was a good buff that didn't hurt many legitimate builds.

Why, why WHYYYYYYYYY did I make a PvE mesmer, get it 15k armor really nice weapons dye it pink, get it skills.....seriously why I should of seen this coming anet are complete !()"%&%!*($^"*($!$!"$!%(*!"%&! < no idea
Mesmers just aren't fun to play, I really can question if they are a class to counter classes now......
The ranger one THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally get rid of some unskilled tards using a simplistic build! I now play my ranger a lot more since mesmers are completely sh**. Just a question though, why hex breaker? All the others I can understand, even though I don't support them!
*Edit*
Oh yeah and the assasins fox thing, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD BYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE lame build.

+cred Rogue for knowing thine stuffz!
As for this:
| QUOTE | I hoped they had restored flame/storm djinn's haste back to 33% speed boost instead of 25%...

No. Just no.
That change means better drops for the rest of us.
I sussed that within about 30 secs and when Stan came online he trumped my changes to what's now seen as a CC build and made the run easier than ever.
Think outside the cookie cutter people!

Ok that's it, I told them to leave rangers alone.
This nerfing is like..
F*CK!
In stead of nerfing skills over and over they should think of what might happen if you change it in the first place. Feast of fouls will prob be nerfed next time since they use it in almost every GvG build.
Oh yeah and while we're at it, let's increase RoF energy to 10 and recharge to 10 seconds..
If they got too much time on their hands, let them make an NPC that allows you to customize your character or something.
Oh and I used prepared + power + savage in PvE a lot too, but do they care? Nope.. they only look at PvP and what is used too much.
