Ye, even with those you still get blind. And those don't affect aegis and ward.
You say you're good, and you don't even understand the old meta gg.

This one is interesting. Anybody tried to see if it affects Terra-tanking at all?

The skill changes were only temporary, they said it and they said they weren't gonna stay like that.

you spammed a 30 second recharge skill?
and yes aegis can be countered running a p/me with cry/mirror but that means you have to drop your ele or your ranger, loosing your ele kills your defense, loosing your ranger kills your splitting ability, on either of them you loose snares which is never good
also having to run anti blockway is complete bullshit, id take the water ele heavy physical meta of the mast few weeks anyday, that at least got kills before vod

Ok; the responses just made me laugh and falling out of my chair... why? here's why:
- update april 24th: a lot of people were like: OMFG whatz00rs my uber1337 build will no longer work! The fact that the update was only temporary for the PvP matches was missed by almost everyone due to them panicking. When it finally became clear i could almost here the sigh of relieve here in holland.
- Update may 1st: It seems it was forgotten that the skillupdates were only temporary and that arenanet has done what they promised: after the matches the skills would be reset.
Now here is what i don't get:
Arenanet states that PvE will not longer be affected by skillupdates since the skills will be reverted after a championships. Now Anet does revert the skills and again it is OMFG.
And the fun thing is; i have not noticed any real difference with the skills as they were between the 24th and the 1st; not will i really notice the reverse. I do not know what most people do before entering a PvP or PvE battle (doesnt rellay matter much); but i usually read all skills before i go out; unless it is a build i use commonly. When i monked in RA, TA, GvG Scrimmage i noticed exactly 0% difference of the 10 or 15 energy cost of Aegis. Energy management FTW!
All i will say about this update:
Good work Arenanet!
You listened to the community when they said they no longer accepted skillupdates affecting PvE; you listened and make reversions now; the fact that people now complain about reversing the skills is their problem :)
P.S. and lets NOT start the bloody endless ursan discussion. For some reason every topic lately gets reverted into an Ursan trollingfest
