User talk:Problem./Problem. Skill Changes

Ranger

• Barbed Arrows: Preparation. For 24 seconds, your arrows cause Bleeding for 3...13...15 seconds.
  • Changed: Removed easily interruptable clause. Increased preparation duration.
  • Reason: Bleeding doesn't output as much pressure as Poison. In addition, despite the obvious synergy with Poison Arrow, players can gain more utility from Crippling Shot or Magebane Shot.

Monk

• Life Sheath: Elite Enchantment Spell. For 2...6...7 seconds, target ally has a 50% chance to negate incoming damage.
  • Changed: Reduced recharge to 5 seconds. Reworked skill.
  • Reason: Shield of Deflection is the elite heavy prot. It seems like Life Sheath was intended to be the elite "small prot". By re-working the skill, it matches the pre-action necessary with that of a Guardian, but gains "elite status" by negating all damage, including chaos, elemental, holy, shadow, etc.

Mesmer

• Power Flux: Elite Spell. If target foe is casting a Spell or a Chant, that Skill is interrupted and that foe and foes nearby lose 3...12...14 Energy.
  • Changed: Increased recharge to 18 seconds. Reworked skill to be an AoE Power Leak.
  • Reason: Current skill is useless because it is a hex.

Ritualist

• Mending Grip: Spell. Target ally is healed for 15...63...75 Health. If that ally is under the effects of a weapon Spell, that ally loses one Condition.
  • Changed: Decrease Cast Time to 3/4 seconds. Decrease Recharge to 4 seconds.
  • Reason: Puts it in line with Dimiss Condition, but this skill still needs a weapon spell to activate both the heal and the condition removal.
