Dual pistols warrior. BOOM

Firstly that's the symbol i suggested to begin with, check the first post again. Secondly, torch is a really boring unviable choice of a weapon on a class that lacks any good, viable main-hand weapon. Also it doesn't fit thematically since eles dont need torch, because they can create fire whenever they want.

The problem with offhands on ele is that all main hand choices are bad and very outdated. Dagger is locked pretty much in melee range, fire autoattack is garbage, so is water and earth and is very outdated and boring these days to play. Scepter is very niche, lackluster, heavily slow 1-targeted autoattacks, and only actual viable is the air one. So once again we will be locked in staff since it is the only real weapon that gives us some viable options in open world. This is the reason so many ELE mains want a 2-handed weapon, so we can break free of staff for once since release. We are bored of the overnerfed staff as the only viable option in PvE, seriously.

There's 0% chances they do another melee weapon for ele, not this time at least. Also if they decided to do Greatsword (hopefully) it will be ranged weapon (600 or more)

No, siege turtles can be slower but deal more damage to structure. That's the question, do we want more siege weapons added to the gamemode or are we fine with what we currently have.

Siege Turtles hype!

You would be surprised how important many of the combos are even these days. Especially in PvP environment. And even in many pve cases, you can heal/cleanse/blast stealth/give boons/shields/auras passively without even noticing, and they are really helping.

The thing with ele is that if we get another one-handed main hand, all offhand choices are bad, focus is so outdated and meh, and dagger is only good for melee combat. I still hope on a 2-handed weapon (GS pls) or at least Longbow. Rifle will be a lot of single target probably. Well we can only speculate but doesn't look good for now.

I mean, melee ele didn't really work last time.

Weapon doesn't matter, they just gave 1200 range dagger weapon on mesmers. Pistol might be 1200 range as well, or 900 and a great power weapon to compete with axe lack of AOE or something. We'll see.

https://imgur.com/dqwpGPK What do you guys think? The other strong possible candicate for the new elite spec is the 1st in second row that shows an electrified bullet, that would suggest rifle or pistol (bleh).

Just because the weapon is "Greatsword" doesn't mean melee spec. Mesmer has Greatsword and is 1200 range for example, revenant and thief have staff and they both melee, the weapons are irrevelant to the range, they may as well use a bow in melee range if they wanted.

So there were some leaks on subreddit, they might turn out to be true or entirely false (only a month and a half for official reveal). But we can talk about it, what do you say about this elite spec. All i have to say is, Where is my Greatsword Anet?!?!??!

Because it's super bugged.

I am with you, i really love Greatsword, and gameplay on other classes, i really wish we get our own greatsword with spinning elements, etc. That would be so cool. I don't want Greatsword to be melee only though, that would suck.

Because Ele is dead in PvP for years.

This kind of "meta" maps are incredible and very repeatable, i totally love Drizzlewood Coast, even though the meta is veryyy long with a lot of downtime inbetween objectives. Are you considering any adjustments in the future ? Also as for feedback, make the metas more challenging, don't be afraid, go all in we love challenging content. Thanks for the awesome episode!

It increases cooldown by 100%.

Before patch, small and big shade were hitting 5 targets, now only 2.

It's literally the skimmer mastery icon, just log in and check it. I think this is a mistake on their end i think they wanted to split those 2 but because it will come after the birthday they putted it there. who knows.

Festival of the Four winds is superior event in front of dragon bash.

Well that would be too lame, at first i thought the same, but if you put all the puzzles pieces together ("one of your mounts", "skimmer mastery icon", so important to put it in the roadmap), then yes it might be what everyone expects, underwater ability for skimmer (an underused mount).

So this is it, at this time devs are probably working on the next elite specs, tied in the next expansion. I hope, since this might be the final expansion of GW2, that devs are gonna go all in, and make an epic elite spec, both previous specs were kinda lackluster, a bit disappointing and didn't bring much to the elementalist. What i wish is to finally get a 2-handed weapon (hopefully a Greatsword), and an F5 skill that can transform elementalists to the ultimate element being, that will tie in all the elements. I can go on and on but i prefer to keep it simple here. I have trust on the developers, let's hope they deliver!
