New Update
And they changed skills all over the place. Leader's Comfort is back to 3 Seconds again, now this skill is even more useless. Almost all of the changes that I saw from last time are back, and now they're permanent. So, good luck.


 * Spiritual Pain is even worse than the last incarnation. -_- Craw   18:49, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * Spiritual Pain is an obsidian flame without the exhaust in an area and slightly less armor-ignoring damage. Shrug. I think its still fantastic. GrammarNazi 18:53, 1 February 2007 (CST)


 * So is this a permanent nerf to the test nerf last weekend or whatever? --DragonWR12LB 18:50, 1 February 2007 (CST)


 * yup its perminent(said that on the news page in GW login screen). SF is screwed again. GL using it at all in tyria. Notice how all ele attacka are (derceaeed kd, blind, burn, etc) or (increased cost, recharge etc) or both? thanks anet so you really DO want us stuck as support softies. thanks. in contrary to everything mentionied in all 3 books BTW... and why is it a whammo can do more damage than an ele anyways? -TehBuG-


 * I don't see alot of ele skill nerfs in the changelog. Some of the water skills were nerfed but most of the fire skill edits I noticed were buffs.  And really a 1 second change in burning time for SF?  Not a big deal in PvE I don't think given the 2 second recharge.  I did note the SoA change as that'll make it more difficult for the SoA 55 builds.  Lojiin 19:04, 1 February 2007 (CST)


 * They have made the fire Ele more powerful and removed much motivation to play any other element as a dmg dealer :( -Heurist

Deadly Paradox apparently had a bug fixed, but...excuse me? It says "fixed a bug that caused this skill to affect Assassin Stances.". This is tripe!!! How are stances different than skills? As far as I'm concerned, a skill is either what Vampiric Touch is, or meaning everything that can be placed on the bar, including res sig. So which is correct? I can't see how it was a bug to use an ASSASSIN skill with deadly paradox, such as a stance. Heck, isn't there other skill requirement stuff that rips away res sig? *cough* simple thievery. Stupid ANET nerfing assassin runners. If they're going by that method, then how come Feigned Neutrality still works and that's labeled a "spell". What is this nonsense!! --82.33.8.3 19:06, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * I can only assume because Paradox is replaced by the next stance. Doesn't make that much sense to me either. [[Image:UserImage Aubray1741 ClassicIcon.gif]] Aubray1741 19:09, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * I didn't check the ranger changelog, but I wonderd if serpant's quickness got the same treatment? As that was also used before activating another stance on some runners.--82.33.8.3 19:11, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Interesting that they asked for input between weekends...
...since they seemed to ignore everything that was said. Good point above about SQ->other stance... I'll have to test that out. I've been line-by-line'ing through the classes I use, and nothing jumps out at me as different from the Jan 19 skillset. If anyone could point out differences they see between 1/19 and 2/1, I certainly would appreciate it. -- Oblio (talk) 19:31, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Part of the Temp Weekend?
Are these part of the temporary weekend (just coming early rather than late like they usually do), or are these permanent? --Theonemephisto 19:32, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * Permanent, as said on the GW page. --Nocturne [[Image:Nocturne icon1.jpg|19px]]  19:33, 1 February 2007 (CST)
