I doubt it. In the class forums they also take pve n stuff into account but mostly my impression of these (all of them) is, that it’s an incredible saltmine. In every class forum there is no doubt that anets hates this profession (and only this one) very hard and nerfs them always and the others never and life is unfair. not saying the wvw forum is any better ^^

Oh but then the eles will tell you something. armor and hp are the lowest of all classes. At least, double the hp! and the dps is superbad PLUS you gotta be in melee always and forever, i think the dps needs to be buffed about 20-30% flat to be comparable cause eles always have to swap and press so many buttons and plan ahead for HOURS, no…. DAYS (!!!) even, if they eventually consider that some CC is needed therefore, every skill needs to apply 200 breakbardamage (unblockable ofc) in order to be even relevant to other specs. yes. buff ele infact. …. stuff you hear in class subforums. They are even sillier than the wvw subforum. It’s a blast 😄

I think we basically agree. We just don’t agree with it being a problem. i don’t want it to be otherwise cause there are professions already who work out otherwise. Nobody would argue some QoL changes would be neat. we have a weapon with „everything build in it“ cause we don’t have a weaponswap. While an engi or rev can chose different weapons / kits, we are stuck in our choice. But we have the atunments going for us. we don’t have to swap to staff to pump out more healing, we simply swap to water. I don’t see that as much of a difference. But this is the concept. it is more complicated and it needs more planning to do yes. But changing said concept would change the idea of this profession. This is not qol in my opinion.

It’s less about chasing somebody than being chased. Nobody can chase a thief. Not even another thief. the same reason why you struggle to chase a necro. Of all classes. The dude with 1 dash. the reason is spectral walk, as it is with that thief ability that lets you return to your original position. You never know if the tief opponent takes it or nah and he simply can do the opposite if what you do. now… necro has that, his worm and a dash. thief has even more and gets protected by some stealth. There is no way somebody can outrun a thief. Never. ….which is okay. It’s just important to know^^ that is why i never fight them. Even if i outplay them, they can get out. It’s just a waste of time to deal with them.

Things i didn’t know i need but really need!

How am i supposed to oneshot people if i have to equip support skills instead of damage skills? Checkmate. nonono that’s not „balanced“ or „working as intended“, i am supposed to win every 1vX always and forever and hen we have balance.

You sure? why is necro number2 in „most played classes“ for years? Years!! yes atm hscourge is very strong and a year ago, damage scourge was nice with epi for some encounters but overall the benches didn’t do it, yet it had a lot of playtime. i tell you why. Because it is quite easy to play for the results it brings, kinda the exact opposite of ele. People play what is fun and maybe what is easy. But some like it more difficult. why would i want 9 classes who all play the same? This would be incredibly silly. You brought up damage first and i proofed you wrong, ele can dish out very good damage. But damage is not the most important factor, fun is. And for most people, something simpler is more fun. (Also reaper is a fun spec by itself). ele can do all the things. Most effective in melee, that is true. But it can do all the things. Making him more simple instead of switching to something that already is more simple / better fitting is an awful idea cause some enjoy it how it is. i‘m not speaking about some qol stuff. I’m speaking about the very basic elementalist mechanics. They should be what they are.

Personally i think because the class was / is so strong and can be found in the meta everywhere but I don’t know.

It is. gw2efficiency -> statistics -> player statistics. number 2 is necro but that’s mostly because of reaper and open world where there is no cooler stuff to play i think.

Power Cata is number 2 on benches tho. Clearly it needs a buff so it can be numba1 yeah. another question on a serious note: did you enjoy yor 5000 hours on ele tho?

Yeah don’t confuse bear with doggo. Both are fluffy and adorable but one sleeps during winter. Basically is all.

Go! Your doggo wants out he needs to pee!

Sure but at the moment, core is very rare outside of certain situations (coreguard in spvp). so you basically miss out on 1/4 of „possible specs“. It’s un-used potential. It wouldn’t be something new but with an easy fix you would add more gameplay possibilities whoch would be appreciated i think.

I skiped some JPs that made me reee lol. skipping that seems the best option tho. I don’t remember this anymore but i probably was lucky cause all meta events / events where a piece of cake for me. Found a train that did it or something i guess.

This. i think necros can have the most potent LI Builds out there.

You rule. Have fun and a good day tho. /e if you miss the buttons like you missed my point it’s better to not play ele and call it bad and move on. Thank god there are 8 other classes that might be fun for you and that’s what it is all about in the end.

True. Dollys did nothing wrong and Quaggans are frens!

Imagine playing ele for 12k hours and still suck on it lol. ele is perfectly fine to perform well, if you don’t that’s a personal skill issue. yes, you have to press a lot of buttons and sweat your brains out but that’s 1/9 professions who does that. you want all the same? Everyone has 2 buttons, a damage and a heal button and the only difference is the colour of the cast? Yay balance!!! if you want to play something with less apm then do that. I very much enjoy necro for example myself. I like necro for what it is, and i like ele for what it is aswell. “oh no muh hp“… —> learn your skills.

Tempest. Cause i can also roam as cele and make all the bois seethe. +the overloads (especially air) are great for tagging kills. 😛

Yeah but even after all these years, i get lost on this map. And i think a lot people do aswell. That would be hilarious.

Only if you implement all the mounts / gliding / jumping mushrooms etc for those maps in wvw aswell. and i don’t think that would be a good idea.

You mean one of those 3? Okay. cause all the maps from the potential pool would be devastating or pointless for the gamemode but vanillamaps would be fine.

*tips fedora* a true free thinker i see. /e i want a fedora ingame and a fedora-tipping emote via /mlady
