Lightning whip nerf really sucks.

I agree. Thieves should generate Initiatives at higher rate because it makes combat more fun!

But dont you dare to ban Sona again !!!

Yay for buffs, ele nerfs were unnecessary Anet

They didn’t nerf it. They buffed it and fixed a exploit at the same time.

They reduce the cast time by 17% and decreased the dmg by 10%. Overall its a buff. And they needed to fix the LW exploit obviously.

“Locust Swarm: The casting time of this skill has been reduced from 1 second to 0.5 seconds.

Dev note: This change will give necromancers a bit more mobility."

I laughed so hard that I hurt myself.

Second that. Staff skills base damage should be upped to compensate.

I’d even be happy if they just fixed Gust.

Ele nerfs as usual… And why buff KillShot? seriously… Can we at least get Ride The Lightning and Mist form back to how they were before?

Dude, that’s like 50% faster cast-time!

50% is a lot!!!

:P

Don’t worry. Still nobody will use rifle, even with that change. But hurray for (an attempted) rush fix!

As a Mesmer main…I am looking forward to that Time Warp buff. Finally I get to use it a few times in a dungeon.

Yup. They need to make that a PVP only change. No one was complaining about it in PVE.

LOL… They even have time wasting syncs on the forum! “Please wait 300 seconds between posts!”

Stupid nerf to Lightning Whip.

Ppl have a hard time to read. They buff LW. They decrease the casting time by 17%, but nerf the dmg by 10%. Overall its a buff.

Maybe ppl say LW got a nerf because of signet double heal proc exploit.

I’m happy with almost all changes (the resurrection skills will still be garbage) and some will need to be tested to see (mainly Guardian Shield, I hope this to be at least a viable/usable weapon).

But and the traits? I think that only 1 trait (Thief) is going to be modified. All classes have a lot of useless traits. This must be looked at, urgently.

Link please,,,,

I know, right? We that play necros could get more mobility out of polishing our routers than that change’ll offer us, but hey! Its like getting half of a pair of socks for a holiday present – its the thought that counts. :P

Yeah I was confused about that reasoning also because with trait and boon duration, we can already maintain Locust Swarm indefinitely.

I don’t see anything about an adrenaline compromise so that it doesn’t disappear instantly the second I drop my foe. Was hoping for 5-6 seconds maybe – time to reach another opponent without having to start from scratch. But I guess my Warrior will remain sidelined. (Sigh. Memories of when they destroyed my Dervish.)
