so.....the guy who said he knew that shadow form was going to be nerfed WAS full of it, and was seeking personal gain in selling ectos.

also.....for 2 months, this is underwhelming. No Rit primary fix.

I definitely do like the Kurz/Lux skill boosts. Elemental Lord is now properly awesome after undergoing numerous nerfs.

That's IT that's all the fark that they did in TWO FARKING MONTHS??!! What a load of crap both months. Pay to play storage and now this pos update that does nothing to what NEEDS to be UPDATED??! If you folks buy GW2 you're just plain diddified.

On a good note they nerfed the crapolo out of strength of honor. Man I can't believe they nerf the monk to death and the ranger and sin get nothing of note. Where's the nerf to Shadowform and Interupts? Whoever is balancing this game (isn't it a female now?) has no clue at all and is showing totally brain dead functions in these socalled balanced updates.

Oh great you nerfed Warriors again with Warriors Endurance back to a stance now I can't attack 33% faster and still gain all the energy I would have ever needed. Gawd I hate Anet and their socalled balancing. This is the worst ever.

Interesting change to Aegis... the new anti-melee spike skill.

I was expecting some change to Ray of Judgement, suprised it was not changed. I am sure people will complain about that.

Can't get into the game, does Aegis still have 30r? That skill is serious anti-spike, but 30r? Dunno.

Killed Warrior's Endurance.
Seriously damaged FF, LC, FC Water, Mel's spikes, PnH, and Strength of Honor.
Killed minion griefers in Aspenwood.
Gave Elemental Lord a use.

WoH gets toned down and rewards good monk play...this is an interesting update. Not sure how I feel on this one.
