Skill and Power nerf

[Regero]

The results of exhaustive testing
have shown that the +30% DPS applied
every time "Skill and Power"

gets used is the bread and butter that
really makes our class shine. Each and
every build that doen't currently include
a useful trait like this is, in my opinion,
totally gimped. Now with our future

class change, this mandatory gambit
has totally changed, ruining all builds
including it. "Skill and Power" beats
conviction as a core mechanic. If you
keep applying it, its a no brainer that the
extra +30% Damage, as it stands
now, is our best trait.

Stupid posts like
this are not in the least
educational to the community.
Very often I find them profane,
even morally degrading

Grow a pair and
respect the rules more.
Acting like such a child
shames warden kind and
stops us from getting
help we badly need from the devs.
Onsets of forum stupidity
predetermine a forums future
path in development,
eradicating a community like this would be
really shameful to these forums.

Go post in the guardian forums if
obstinate stupidity is your pre-
determined goal for yourself.

If you can't read this, have your R back

Oh our memes ^

lol, we haven't played this game in awhile, how retro! ^-^

I totally agree

Well the background color changed so the old retro color no longer worked and had to find the new one

[Regero]

Lol, well done! From now on, lets all just speak like this and see how many people we can confuse

[LtDiablo]

I'm totally down haha, just make sure to not use smileys, color won't effect them.

In changing Skill and Power
my intention was a good one,
until I realize the evil that it
spread as it was used
too much to contain.

After looking the trait over
diverting all my powers of thought to it
my conclusions were complete.
i needed to make a change, but what,
this was my conundrum.

Then, as if by providence, I knew
how I must change the trait to make it
accentuate the skill and power that is inherent
to the Warden class.
If it seems too harsh,
not my intention.
everyone should know by now that I
evangelize myself as a player of the warden.
decidedly, some still question that I have
ever put spear and shield in hand,
delved into the dark places and
taken the fight to the enemy.
oh, but dear readers, I do
and i think that the changes, dev diary
soon forthcoming will highlight this.

Keep yourself tuned because,
given these changes there is likely
reason to find me more contemptible.
At least, a little less respected
and thought less of by the true and
learned amongst you.

After a little time though,
because you will have played
or because you are just resigned to fate,
using the new trait might seem
to be the boon that is meant to be.

Time will tell of course.
How much time?
I think it's not that much.
September is almost here.

[Skigorn]

ROFL. I see what you did.

[LtDiablo]

Welcome to the Warden forums Orion, now you've been baptized in the unique clique we share here.

[Regero]

lol that was the funniest thing I've seen since Graalx told us a moose bit his sister

[LtDiablo]

It's ironic that the last epic meme thread was also regarding the skill and power trait where we all were quoting the star wars and lotr movies and even Graal joined in on that one too.

[Tolfast]

hehe I love it!!

[Antrius]

Wow I admit I had trouble with Orion's post lol.
Had to write it down...

[Malephor]

<3 orion in warden forums

[cmal]

This thread made me laugh. This right here is the best part of being a warden.

[Belaeren]

Props to Orion! To paraphrase comic book guy:

Best. Post. Ever.

How much time did he spend
Evaluating that trait?

I think we can trust that the
Stupid trait will be fixed for good.

Universally hated, except by noobs who
Slotted it anyway (that's how we knew they were noobs)

[pibob314]

Well I have to say I was disappointed to hear about this nerf
after all this trait is the bread and butter of our trade
definitely going to feel weaker soon
every class is being buffed but we
never get anything good to play with
skill and power was our best part but we are losing it

Does anyone else feel they are losing hope?
or is it just me?
Imagining a world without skill and power is
the worst thing I can think of right now
But that's not the worst part
eventually we will be nerfed even harder
the javelins we throw are unsustainable and so
they will be replaced with something more
environmentaly conscious. throwing twigs
really isn't the same....

[Banaticus]

Now you see, IMHO
all of my gambits should
neither be negated
nor should be
yucky.

Since you asked, by
this I mean that
a gambit shouldn't have
this long cooldown thing
especially if it also nerfs me.

[Quaidor]

Orion = Genius! Haven't seen such a good warden thread in a long time! Mind you, i was always a silent observer!
I can see clearly now!

[RazorsKiss]

Orion's post does not replace
my ripped out waden heart.
I am still nerfed
and nothing can tell me
that this is not so.

The rain is gone. I can see all the obstacles in my way.

[ChampionSword]

After all this time I still can't read the messages that are obviously hidden in these poems. Will someone PM me with the key to them?

[japridemor]

Great, We've corrupted yet another Dev. welcome to the Warden forums Orion.

[Cesinha]

I am confused, the trait says: 30% Gambit Default damage. Do it work for all the gambits, or just the skill without gambits?

[flyingcircus]

lol .. i just read "loss of 30% in dps" and you actually had me worried there for a second.. until i remembered which trait skill and power actually was^^

[Othniel]

I am confused, the trait says: 30% Gambit Default damage. Do it work for all the gambits, or just the skill without gambits?

Just the skill without gambits. For example, if you accidentally hit your gambit skill before putting gambit icons up, this is what is being referenced. I'm not quite sure as to the point of the trait the increases the damage of that skill.

Just the skill without gambits. For example, if you accidentally hit your gambit skill before putting gambit icons up, this is what is being referenced. I'm not quite sure as to the point of the trait the increases the damage of that skill.

NO! It is definitely applied for every single gambit all
of us use. The trained skill is named Gambit Default,
the one we press to fire off all of our gambits!
Rarely should any Warden have this un-equipped, if I press "4"
even I can do this overpowered damage.
All I ask is that this trait not be completely changed or nerfed.
Lots of Wardens do 30% more damage than they would without it, and
love it. Please don't take what I love away, especially for lower levels.
You know this is why fellow wardens are bemoaning this change!

[LtDiablo]

^They don't get it
