Testing out D/F in spvp right now to see what it would be like in small scale to learn

Trying to farm gear because i'm genuinely curious but not finding minstrels now.

What i'm noticing is im not having a lot of ccs.I like flash freeze because it reduces incoming damage to all team members by 10% and chills enemies

not very good when you got a bunch of necros with insta dmg on you.In fact:cc is a issue to keep yourself alive.You got defensives but not very good offensive ccs.

its pretty much air 3,5 and some water 5. if tempest then you can spam shock aura. theres always the elite cantrip too. that thing is beast.

Whats keeping me alive is water.Sometimes with stability i'm able to convert condis to boons faster than they can if i use rebound and others stuff, and their pressure

I wish elementalist have a way to convert condis to boons like broken firebrands and engis instead of just clearing them.

yeah its pretty insane

no you misunderstood me, I'm saying tempest is trash even in water.

It has some serious issues.Its really easy to just bombard the tempest and blow him up

sometimes i can't even land a heal if i'm playing vs a really good player, and if they are terrible i'l end up healing.

I feel like staying alive and healing can be real tough because of ccs.i'm trying to cc but not much options besides freeze and lightning.

I don't know what it needs but it could use something.
