It indeed has a recharge of 10 minutes but the tool tip on the item STILL says 1 hour. Not a biggie, but perhaps could update it as it could be confusing. Thanks!

Never kitten mind.

Indeed, it was the Abomination GS over some complimentary BP. The EYE looks exactly the same. Thank you all for the responses in helping solve this personal mystery!

Greetings, last week I saw a Reaper on her Skyscale while waiting for the Convergence gate to open. Her Fashion was pretty good, and I saw on her back some piece which I have never seen before. It wasn't a guild BP with an EYE on it, it was an animated eye similar to the Eye of Rodgort Scepter or the Eye of Zhaitan. However, it had a more slit-like pupil like the Eyes of Fate, Judgement etc. in the Hall of Chains raid before Dhuum. I have looked EVERYWHERE it seems. It's not on the BP list wiki. It's not on the Bank Fashion Preview for Backpacks either. It was indeed a Necromancer who was wearing it so, it wasn't a shield. I COULD be mistaken, and it could be the shield, the Branded Eye of Argon, but I remember that it was GREENISH/Toxic in color. Plus it was animated. My only guess at this point is that it was something discontinued, and yes, I looked on the discontinued item wiki. That was beyond my patience clicking the hundreds of links. If ANYONE has any clue what this might be, let me know even if it is discontinued. Curiosity has the better of me now, and it seems that I have exhausted most avenues of inquiry aside from these forums or Reddit. Thank you!

I just tried to make the same thing for my guild. The same bug of the two pillars belonging to the guild but ME having none cropped up. I can place the two pillars. I tried every trick I know, and I've been a scribe a MONTH after it was released. Anet, could you fix this.

I want to echo many of them comments especially towards Necromancers. Please revert Shades to 20 sec duration. I would even compromise at 15 seconds. ***PLEASE give us our SIGNETS back.*** REPEAT ***PLEASE give us our SIGNETS back.*** You're throwing us a bone with some barrier increases, but please, that was the hallmark of Scourges. It doesn't have to be godlike, but at least make it viable along with DPS increase as the latter I see you are trying to do. Also, the REZ nerfs to HS were far too heavy handed. That and barrier were what we did. I would be happy with a compromise if you increased both niche abilities somewhat. I also play an OW Staff/Staff Mirage. It never goes into an instance. Leave it ALONE. It is FINE as it is. STOP making those who enjoy some OW solo play PAY the price of lack of self sustain which has been a trend since EOD released.. I have to say that your original statement of "Play it your way," or whatever it was is NO LONGER VALID. It hasn't been for a while. Also, as many have said, you have basically went totally against a stance of getting rid of spam especially in Druids by making them pay a price of lack of their utility in order to give a boon. I'll let the Druids and others affected by that talk to you. SOME DPS professions do NOT even NEED to give boons. Think on that. Not everyone needs a boon. That is my opinion. Frankly, I wish you would just revert most of this and go back to a less drastic drawing board. I do appreciate your work, but right now, you're looking like Pee Wee Herman with his famous quotation when he falls off his bike, "I meant to do that." Just admit that you messed up and really kittened the kitten out of many of your players who are not very kittening happy atm. Also, I'll be frank with you. I play this game for FUN. Lately, it has been like a full time Beta test with me wondering what you're going to break or drastically alter next time, making me (who has no Leg Armor yet) having to depend on theory crafters or myself to come up with a new build which creates an atmosphere of anxiety. I am literally afraid to accomplish certain things on certain characters now because I'm worried that I might have to shelf them due to them being trashed as you did in this recent update. This is not good for those of us with problems such as anxiety disorder which is very real. I would like some fun and stability, not this constant tinkering every few weeks with classes you break. BALANCE...not BREAK, please. Okay, ending on a positive note, I do look forward to your new xpac. Thanks.

Okay, that's what I was missing. Thanks.

Have the Passsives in Signets truly been removed when in especially Reaper Shroud? I can't find anything written. Nor any tooltip, but many seem to believe this is the case. Likewise some think it has not. Has any hasty testing been done on this. I tried some of my own, but I can't particular tell. Spite seems to work, but Vampirism and Undeath seeem odd. Plus if there is something WRITTEN or that I missed, I would appreciate someone pointing it out to me. Thanks.

I'm am going to wait to the next balance in July to see if they feel our combined rage at this lazy, unnecessary nerf to signets which we can't even use in shroud (I wasn't aware of this until today), shade timers, further barrier depletion and the utter trashing of HS's Rez potential. Necros are supposed to be masters of the dead. Now, repeating so many others it is no longer niche, it is useless. DPS Scourge, I have no desire to even mess with atm. So, NO Anet, you are not going to make another cent on me (makes whale noises) each month until you fix this mess. Listen to us, please. Thanks.

I use TBs/Cele when soloing. Though I miss the big barrier numbers before "they" nerfed that into that ground, I nearly quit the game and disputed all charges for the last year on my CC against the company. Though after calming down, it was just a game in the end, and Anet has been trying hard for all of us and for me when I ask for customer support. I couldn't and wouldn't do that. Though that is how I felt. At this point Specter is quite solable and does have a place in PVE instance. Though I see more evidence of them via videos of them in pairs with teammates or in packs. Well, of Shadows DOES CLEANSE others, but I used it when NEEDED to slow MOBS in OW mainly. That STINGS, Anet. I can live with it. Still it stings a little. Besides, None of the slow mechanics would work against PVE instanced bosses. This seems PVP inspired and not so much WvW. I don't do the first at all, and the second I want to get into since you're apparently doing a great job at revamping already. Well of Sorrows was very useful to slow others coming at you especially if you stealth CDs were not up. NO, I'm not talking about a cheesy perma stealth build which I would never touch nor could play. Thus I play my Harbinger in WvW when I do, and I like the rewards. You're doing what you said. Just consider this ANET if you are listening or some Moderator wants to pass this on because I'm going to send you bosses a very well written letter next detailing some complaints and some good things they have done. Anyway, I just don't see the tradeoff of movement impairing abilities in Well of Sorrows being entirely removed for a 2 second daze (which yes, has its function in group play) and the ability to cleanse players in the area of the well WHICH is not very big. Plus most don't KNOW to stand in it for a sec. Also, is Short bow as a second weapon our only choice of evasion or rapid movement, perhaps consider increasing our wells to 900 at least. I think that would be a sweet spot. Infusion,.7149 thank you for letting me quote you, sort of hijack your post, but I think we're on the same page. And sure Anet hardly sees these. Thus have I heard that they read Reddit more. I don't talk there. Here is much nicer. Also, sure, I could as said earlier just send a ticket being all LOUD but nice to Anet, but I only do that when Absolutely necessary. As said, I almost did a number of thing when they first "nerfed" the Specter. However, there are a number of very viable solo builds, they do tend to be desired in some strike content still. I just wish you'd send them a little LOVE sooner rather than later mainly for us PVE player without overbalancing for the other two modes of play. Cheers, and thanks, Ten.

Was the removal ALL movement-impairing abilities from Well of Silence a PvP/WvW thing? Not that I do EITHER. Just TWO seconds of Daze now? It's an alacrity generator. Balance my KITTEN KITTEN KITTEN!! Meh.

Not anymore.

What he said.

I deleted my diatribe because this isn't worth my time. Peace, Anet. Not that you even read these aside from moderation.
