Despite the creepy appearance of that new Macabre Tonic creature, the main topic on everyone's mind is the change to the <a href="http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Unyielding_Aura">Unyielding Aura</a> Elite skill.<br /><br />This skill had previously been the cornerstone for what's known as Ghost Running, where players could take advantage of what could best be described as an exploit. This also worked for many popular farming runs as well. With this new patch, Unyielding Aura now only works "within spell casting range", eliminating the way characters could rez from across the map. Of course <a href="http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10323936">many players don't like this fix</a>, but as any veteran <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/guild-wars/">Guild Wars</a></em> player knows, it doesn't take <a href="http://www.arena.net">ArenaNet</a> long to remedy unbalanced skills.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/11/guild-wars-update-adds-new-zaishen-reward-and-more/">Guild Wars update adds new Zaishen reward and more</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:00:00 EST.
