Update - Thursday, May 22, 2008

Restoration of Skill Effectiveness in PvE

With this update we introduce a new system to split certain skills into separate PvE and PvP versions. With this system we can update skills for one game type without affecting the other.

Skills that differ in PvP will have (PvP) listed at the end of their names when viewed in PvP outposts and matches. These skills will automatically be adjusted within PvP outposts and matches. Players can equip their skills as normal, and the game will use the PvP version where appropriate. For more information, see the Developer Update.

In this update, we are restoring a number of skills so that they work similar to how they used to before various PvP-related game balances. Each of the following skill restored in this way now also has a PvP version:

Assassin

Elementalist

  • Ether Renewal Ether Renewal: increased duration to 5..20 seconds; increased Energy gain to 1..4.

Mesmer

Monk

Necromancer

Paragon

Ranger

Ritualist

Warrior

Restoration of April Balance Changes (PvP)

We are also reintroducing the PvP balance changes that we tested from April 17 – May 1, along with a few other tweaks to skills. These balance changes will apply only to PvP.

Assassin

Dervish

Elementalist

Monk

Necromancer

Paragon

Ritualist

Restoration of April Balance Changes (PvE and PvP)

These skills were part of the the April Balance change and needed to be restored for PvP balance but didn't warrant splitting the skills into separate PvE and PvP versions. Some are skill improvements we wanted to apply to both PvE and PvP; others are power reductions we felt would have minimal impact on PvE balance. The one exception is Steelfang Slash, which was not a part of the April Balance update. It was added to this list to deal with particular multi-weapon skill combinations that allowed a player to repeatedly chain knockdowns on an opponent.

Elementalist

Mesmer

Warrior

Guild Wars Wiki Notes

  • This update introduced a bug where if you ping a bar that has any PvP skills on it and send to chat, it won't recognize it as a pinged bar.
