Talk:Ursan Blessing

A problem with totem of man
Well ive just noticed that with totem of man it still has the description as it was pre-nerf which is wrong as it said "you loose all energy" but with the nerf you dont loose any energy --A zreal o f S kyrim  09:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Looking at the Totem of Man article, someone has already put that down as a bug. --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|18px|]] Brains12 \ talk 15:06, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Surely if the skill now doesn't take your energy away it's a boost/buff not a nerf? Chibot2000 23:12, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Anomaly?
Is it a anomaly that you don't change form even tho it is a form skill? Maybe but i personally think it was just them trying to make sure arcane mimicry couldn't effect ursan or the other blessings without cluttering the descriptions of the skills. Tenri 06:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably okay either way. There is really no reason to say that a form type skill would cause you to change appearance, except that you do with the Dervish forms. If they hadn't existed first, would we say they were the anomalies? Of course, I still look forward to the day when there is a reason to again use this skill because it would at least have a fun visual effect. -- Inspired to ____ 13:51, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well then why don't we add such an anomaly tag to Elemental Shift, because I swear I've never seen those drakes turn into elementals. Haru 00:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Tenri, that is exactly why we did it this way, but these guys are right. Just because it is a form, doesn't mean it should change your appearance. We won't ever change Ursan to turn you into a Nornbear. You are not a norn. You do not have the same racial traits as they do. Play a norn in GW2 if you want to change into a Nornbear. ^_^ - [[Image:User Linsey Murdock sig.jpg]]Linsey talk 21:25, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It does say  You lose all effects and take on the aspect of the bear  I'm not that disappointed though, since I rarely use the PvE Forms... -67.68.201.146 22:03, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

all effects?
well this is not tru exactly skills still work signets work wepon spells work and item spells work all casted befor ursan is cast meaning they carry on working as if they wernt droped to 0 atribute. the spells recharge wile ursan is up and now that energy dosnt drop to 0 when ursan ends all the spells can be recasted strate away

god y did they nerf it!
 * isn't it obvious? everytime ursanway was formed a baby was killed. sheesh... --Uchiha Lena 23:56, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * no longer pve only as stated on guild wars site.--I r ogre 01:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No longer PvE only? Where does it say that? Undone. -- Apocalypse Riser [[Image:User Apocalypse Riser ApocSig.jpg|19px|Talk]] 01:25, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Tyrian Skill Hunter
Does this skill count towards the Tyrian Skill Hunter title track? If it does not I have a picture that is apparently a glitch. Just asking because I could've sworn that I saw that PvE Elites don't count.


 * Nope doesn't count Kelvin Greyheart 04:21, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Maintained enchantments
At Raven Blessing, the notes state that you lose your maintained enchantments, is this also an effect of Ursan Blessing? Niccy 10:15, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the "You lose all effects"-part in the skill description. poke | talk 13:16, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Ummwhat?
Yeah. Unlike two other Norn blessings, mention about elite form is missed in concise description. This screenshot says otherwise.  I'm gonna edit the anomaly, but change it back if you need to. I dunno why you would though,if the "bug" is fixed. 24.233.254.51 00:21, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Roaring bears
Shouts don't seem to end on a character using this or the other animal blessings. Paddymew 16:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Needs a buff
Power of this skill should be changed back but not the maintainability.  Raemon  20:50, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 1/10. NuVII  [[Image:User NuclearVII signature 3.jpg|19x19px]] 21:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok maybe not a buff but change quite awfull skill for an elite atm.  Raemon  21:00, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Needs reworking. Paddymew 21:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Please direct your suggestions to the relevant feedback area - see Feedback:Getting started for help. -- pling User Pling sig.png 21:20, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I meant that "Needs reworking" was what Raemon meant, if he thought that the skill didn't work but didn't need a buff either. Paddymew 15:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Leave it be, its perfect the way it is, just takes a little more planning Nay the One and Only [[Image:User Nay the One and Only SIG.png]] 09:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Some Thoughts
Possibly to go in the trivia area. The Constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor (the Big Dipper and Little Dipper?) are also references to bears. As far as form changing, I would like to point out that the Dervish forms are Avatars of the Gods, where as the Norn forms are of animal spirits. Although it would be cool to see the changes in the appearance of my char/toon as the effect of taking on the "aspect" of the animal spirit, I think the skill animations say enough.
