one of my most vital PVE skill doesnt work anymore T__T

Deadly Paradox, says activate and recharge sin skills 50% faster, and disable all attack skill for 10 secs. BUT, suddenly since this weekend, it hasnt been working properly.... It hasnt been making my skills recharge/activated faster >.<


HELP MY SIN ANET!! pleeeeease??

Well, it doesn't work on stances (shadow of haste) anymore, if that's what you mean.

Why is that? Serpent's quickness works on other stances.

=(

They buffed sins. Quit whining.

It was never supposed to reduce times for assasin stances, only assasin skills.. aparently.

This thread has helped make the world a better place.

and yet serpents quickness always effected stances

A stance is a skill.

This was most likely just designed a way of making the skill less powerfull, while making it seem like they were fixing something.

The manual says stances are skills.

So what? Now we have stances AND skills?

Ok you caught me, i'm working for anet in their crusade to ruin everyones enjoyment -.-. I meant skills other than stances, obviously. I don't know if it was actually true i was simply speculating, hence the '....aparently' part of my sentance.

How helpful... NOT
BTW: If it doesn't work anymore it's not really a buff -.-

OT: Just check the update threads, they might have changed something.

anything that isn't Prophecies is doomed to be nerfed.

Look at the updates to most of the assassin skills.

Now tell me they got nerfed.

QFT

OP need to visit the Assassin PvE forum more often and quit whining

Look at serpent's quickness.

Now, look at the recharge.

Yeah, that's right. That's 45.

So that's why it does work on stances.


Note that ANet probably covered up an imbalanced skill by saying it was a bug, since stances are skills indeed.

if a bug is a bug, it is still a bug...

it was never a bug.
stances are skills, now its just another illogical skill that dosnt do what it says.

stances cancel other stances instantly. Thus your argument that it wasn't bugged is false.

The shadow of haste nerfs are pretty worthless without this change, otherwise you could still keep SoH up long enough to reactivate before it ends. Since people brought that skill on gankers anyway to power their feigned...

Not sure it's fair to call it a "bug" as they did, but the change was needed.

No, the change was not needed. It was unfair and unjustified. What would have been more useful would have been to inscrease the recharge time on DP. That way, the skill could serve more than 1 purpose (recharging Feigned) to serving two purposes (recharging feigned and stances). Now, what is the point of this skill? It disables all attack skills (spells, ect) for a whole 10 frigging seconds. A 10 second offensive shutdown was worth extra mobility. Now? A 10 second offensive shutdown is not worth 7 extra seconds of healing.

my 2 cents.
