- State of the Game - Breakdown of what's going on. Useful for people who took a long GW break, or for game balancers who never play.
Keep in mind that these pages are always a work in progress. As the meta changes or as the players' opinions change, so do these lists.
Most of these ideas are mine, but many come from friends, guildies, random people who argue with me in-game, or even suggestions on izzy's talk pages. This is certainly not a community effort, but I try to include the most elegant and thoughtful ideas I see in these lists.
This list is not biased. I play every type of build to gauge how skillful and how effective they are to play, and the ones that allow me to win while half asleep are the ones that usually need addressing. This is not a list of skills I lose to, nor it is a list of the counters to builds I run.
Last good update was: September 17th, 2009
- Holy shit, look what happened to Escape! ArenaNet took a skill that has been broken for a long time and did exactly what needed to be done to it. The last time they did that on purpose was over a year ago! Keep it up!
- In addition, the rest of the update did not suck. Usually, when a good skill update happens, it contains failure to cancel it out, but not this one. The only thing that might disappoint people is Mantra of Resolve and Distortion. The distortion change basically makes it useless, which is not a perfect change, but that's a skill that has always been troublesome. Resolve likely took a hit to hinder raptor farming.
