| Not your average Ursan rant. |

Hi, I use Ursan Blessing.
Guess what: I've also been playing the game since it was in beta. I've used every build thats worth playing (Within the classes that I play.). And now that the game has gotten to this point in its life, where everyone is just waiting for GW2, killing time with titles/HoM etc...
So, Ursan makes bad players worse huh? Well, OK, fine maybe it does maybe it doesn't but thats still up in the air. What about all the GOOD players that use it huh? See that guy with R6 KoaBD? He probably used Ursan to get parts of the title.
Or what about the people like me, who are just bored of everything else and use Ursan b/c its something "new".
Does Ursan make use bad players? Or is taking what used to be the game that rewarded skill not time played, (now not true) And made the grind less... mind numbing is the phrase?
I think I'll keep using Ursan.

I guess it works, Ive seen balanced builds that are more effective in a lot of circumstances. I find it boring and it takes very little skill but the majority of pve builds don't require much either. I've seen suggestions to turn it into a skill similar to the derv avatars so it doesn't change your skill bar. Would be the most interesting probably.

In reply to the original post:
Here are some assumptions you have made:
1) Amount of time played = skill level
While having played longer means you have had more time to experience the game and try stuff out, some people are more naturally talented, and as such, I have seen many people who have had the game for 1-2 years who are much better than people who played in beta.
2) Everyone is waiting for GW2
Maybe some people play GW because they like GW? Not everyone is doing it to get ahead for GW2.
3) Titles mean you are good
To be honest, the only title out of all of them that really shows how good someone is, rather than how much time they have, is Champion, but even that is dubious due to all the gimmicks you can run on Burning Isle. Anyone can spend the time farming gimmicks in HA up to R12, anyone can run around a map, anyone can kill monsters, anyone can open chests etc etc. The only 1 you can't get purely from spending time doing it is Champion - you have to get your guild to 1200+ rating (not rank), face other guilds at 1200+ and win. So is that R6 KoaBD player good? Maybe. His title proves nothing.
Now, an actual reply, rather than just showing your flawed assumptions.
Ursan isn't exactly new anymore. GW:EotN has been out for a while. If you want something new, maybe it's time to try out a new game or (if you haven't already) try pvp - PvP play is quite different to PvE play.
Does using ursan make you bad? The simple answer to that is with another question: Does neglecting of practice make you worse? For example, if you only play football against kid's teams for a month, will you still be as good as you were before?
Does ursan make grinding less mind-numbing? Yes it does. The reason I say this is because it makes it so easy, you can actually do something else at the same time, for example minesweeper, phone somebody up, play on a gameboy/ds/psp, fap, etc.
You can keep using Ursan - at the end of the day, its there, its the most powerful thing you can have - why gimp yourself?

this isnt an average ursan rant, its actually below average.
there is nothing more mind numbing then presing 3 skills over and over again. Ursan doesnt make bad players worse, it makes them the same. it makes them carryable in a team of ursans. it gives the chance for bad players to not have to fill a certain role in a team of 8. thats all, no more, no less.
i use ursan on guild trips sometimes just because its fun. thats not to say it is the only thing i'll ever use. for some strange reason beyond me, everyone seems to think that you have to either use ursan or you dont. You cant use both.
to say you've played since beta and now want to play nothing but ursan? yet you say that ursan makes it less of a grind? that confuses me. because 3 skills bashing them over and over is... stimulating?
these topics about ursan are old, god knows how many there are in these forums alone now.

the only time i used ursan was for the quest to get it. never used it afterwards =]
it's just no fun, and after all, Guild Wars is a game. Games are meant to be challenging AND fun.
Ursan kills both of these T_T

Well wow, way to miss everything I said.
I never said titles = skill, I never said time played = skill, and by "everyone" I mean most people, sorry if I didn't choose my words best but you still missed just about everything I said. And Ursan is newer then most builds thats for sure.
Your talk about practice is also flawed, Gaming for a lot of people is more like riding a bike, you never forget how to play, just not quite sure how to make the finer movements.
And stan, I never said *all* I want to play now is Ursan, although I do use it a lot, I still use other things too.
Not to mention all my other characters that don't have Ursan on them yet. (My warrior is the only one.)

I'm sorry, but since I don't know you personally, I can only talk about what you say, not what you mean. You need to make your meanings more explicit, so that people like me won't debate the arguments you seem to be presenting, instead of arguing with what you want to say.

As a GW player that has been playing for 2 long years, i think ursan is great thing, gw has changed for the better over the years and i will keep using ursan while i sit in my chair, open up firefox and keep seeing Ursan Rant threads pour into the top 5. No this thread isn't one of those rants but im just saying, you know?
Bottom Line:
Hi im Chris, i use Ursan Blessing, please hate me because i don't give a **** what you think. :)
/agree to the original poster of this thread, your one of the few people left i see around here that still seems have brains.

No, it hasn't. It was ridiculously overpowered back then. Both in PvP and PvE - 600hp farming was really easy when you only had to SB once every 10 seconds, and some guilds in GvG brought 2 copies of SB instead of 1 PS, 1 SB. It would be a very foolish move to revert it to that.

Don't know... guildwiki is really messed up because you used to be able to sniff through the old history of pages and review the differences, if it was you could see but i dunno.

I don't really care about Ursan either way. The only time that I ever use real people anymore is with my guild and they will let me run whatever I want to run. So I don't have a problem.

What makes you think people don't think for themselves? Just because they share views that oppose your views, doesn't mean they don't actually think it. Luckily, views are just that. A personal opinion is something you think personally, people can, and do, disagree on every topic that can possibly be debated.
Oh, and "re:" means "On the topic of", the abbreviation you are looking for is "ie".

Not a matter of disagreement, its just the fact i use it and i like it, i gave it a chance, most people here seem to not, blankly hate it and jump on the "ursan sucks" bandwagon.

Everyone who has played eye of the north had to use it to do one of the mission-quest things. So everybody has "given it a chance". I also haven't seen anybody saying it sucks. That statement would be ludicrous with how overpowered it is. Again, you can use it - why would you not?

Here is the way I see it. I too have been playing this game since it came out. My problem is I don't always have 3+ hours to do a FoW or UW run, but I usually am able to find and hour to an hour and half to do it. So going with an Ursan group enables me to be able to be able to have some fun and do an entire run while making a little gold in the process. If someone thinks it makes me worse player for using it, oh well, I could really care less. I am a pure PvE'er and I play this game for my enjoyment and satisfaction, not anyone eles's. Therefore I will play, and use, anything that is available t me that is provided by the developers of this game. Simple as that.
You have your entire life to be a jerk. So why don't you take today off?

there is no ursan sucks bandwagon. i think you'll find most people prefer ursan over other builds. as i already said, it gives people who cant get into teams, or run certain builds able to do things. and as i mentioned aswel, i dont prefer it over a balanced team. i just find balanced more fun... call me crazy.
and chrisworld, not so long ago you cried over the fact that people on the forums wouldnt stop flaming etc and you were ready to leave, yet you call most people on here brainless.... gg? i dont have a problem with anyone on this forum, and as i have said before, what happens in one thread, stays in one thread as far as i'm concerened. so quit with all this ursan in ur sig an avatar shit just to prove a point.
nobody is flaming you and it seems your just looking for an argument here.

what i hate is not the skill ursan blessing. it is the fact that these forums and other forums are flooded with mind-numbing posts like these, which strech for pages and pages. if things were run my way, any post containing the phrase "ursan blessing" would be automatically removed from the site.
i have no personal opinion as of now about the amount of "fun" UB can bring. what i would like to look at is simple arithmetic, simple enough for an elementary school student to understand. here we go:
the basic skill bar contains 8 slots. in some cases all 8 are used, in others the last spot is saved for a res. for the sake of giving the UB side of this equation some much-needed assistance i will be referring to the standard skill bar as 7 skills.
at the same time the standard bar has 7 skills, UB only has 3 that are mashed over and over. in no way i am insinuating that other bars are not played the same way (though i hope they arent), i am simply stating a fact. with these numbers being as they are (7 in a standard bar, 3 in a UB bar), it can be shown through simple division that a standard bar takes 233.33...% more skill. so everyone can shut up about that point atleast.
as for making grinding less repetitive, it is actually the opposite. having only 3 useful skills, each one is used over twice as many times as a given skill in a 7 skill bar in the same amount of time (hence more repitition of skills). an ursan player's response to this will obviously be "but tyran, farming with ursan doesnt take as long as other builds! so we use the skills less! omfg you n(O_O)bz0r!" but just because you finish a run faster doesnt mean you get off your ass and go outside any sooner. in fact, it is entirely probable that the brevity of these runs will entice you to do them more and more, wasting your life away in front of a screen hitting "3213213123123123". By this regard, more runs in the same amount of time = more repetition. more enemies killed in the same amount of time = more repitition. i challenge you to find one way to look at this scenario and tell me ursan is less repetitive. UB makes runs shorter at the cost of skill, creativity, and countless brain cells. Ursan Blessing promises quick rewards in return for shoving your brain into a blender set on "puree". it is a drug for those who love monotony (future accountants and bank workers) and a repulsive abomination for nearly anyone else. you cannot classify it as "good" or "bad", it is just tedious- no more, no less

What ursan is doing is creating a massive seperation between PvPers and PvEers, as you know you need to get the title and the higher the title the better. Yet people look for specifically high titles for their party too. This makes the PvPers completely out of place, I can't be asked to farm it because I know I'll hardly ever use it and It'll be a complete waste of my amazingly expensive time.
Basically ursan "might" not make players worse, but it sure as hell doesn't make them better!!!! It's just this stupid skill bar which is soooooooooooo easy to use, that it's completely pathetic I'm sorry but there is much more PvE skills out there with gwens release AS WELL AS NF + FACTIONS :/, and yet people decide to whore this?? If anet had the sence like they do with GvG, meta builds almost allways = nerf, this should be the same with PvE! (it's PvE skills.....why the hell not?) The only problem with that is PvE isn't one of anets main issues, they don't really care. Personally I can't blame them because everyone in PvE that I've seen so far. Suck.

What i heard/know this GW1 is more PvP based so as long as it doesn't effect PvP it's all good. And frankly i don't give a ****. :P
I'm just trying to get titles fast and easy, with ursan that is possible for GW2. :)
And what i heard/know GW2 is going to be PvE based. :P

Not at all, in fact it going to be even more based in PvP, but that PvP will be more fluid and graceful.
Since GW2 is going to be more like a standard MMO. From what I understand, only missions, towns and arenas are going to be instanced.
With a world PvP system people will learn to play with more skill from the start, in GW1, if you didn't PvP from release your SOL to be honest. The world PvP system aims to help by forcing improvement in players. You could probably go from L1-20 + finish prophecies with just the skills you got in pre I think the devs want to move away from that.

How do you mean that the champion title requires skill? We usually have a paragon in our teambuild. We guest invite someone who doesn't have much experience, he pays us, and we get him his champion title.

I always feel Ursan being "too low" for me.. I guess some people feel different about that =]
