I won't talk about animation, the weird slow feeling or anything, but I seriously don't understand what pistol is supposed to bring to elementalist. If you compare each elements between scepter and pistol, you have : Fire : both have burning on auto, 3 targets skill that burn on 2, targeted burning AoE on 3 Water : both have AoE freeze, and self healing (and pistol more damage for whatever reason) Earth : both auto have bleeding, and each weapob have a defensive tool (barrier on one side, toughness on the other) Air : no condi damage here but power, pistol have dash and cc, scepter have some burst and AoE blind. Not to similar here, finally! I don't even think I can talk about a bad design, as there is simply none. I'll never have an answer, but I would love to know what they tried to do here, and what I'm supposed to do with this.

June 27 Balance Update Preview
Chromatic Drake.3168 replied to Rubi Bayer.8493's topic in Professions
I really don't understand this one. If you only have the bonus when you apply an aura to an ally and not to yourself, that mean you either need to take water traitline (and so loose a lot of damage from air/earth/fire traitline as a power or condi dps), or you need to use shouts either on cd or rotate between them if the bonus if high enough. You also have to give up the stab trait, for the most interruptible skill in the game by far. It really looks like garbage design if it's that way, and it doesn't bring anything to the tempest "dps" build. Edit : also, on stream they talked about the combo with aura on signet, but this aura is only for ele, where is the combo then ?? Edit2 : "Ally" means also yourself. So it works fine, good. -
Hello, With the recent note about anet and the future of the game, I guess with what we can see on the forum or reddit, many people actually have a very good question, what does anet teap actually want to say with "new gameplay and combat features". For many players like myself, elite specs (and new class/new build/new weapons) is pretty much the selling point of expansion. New gameplay is pretty much what makes pvp/raid/wvw actually survive for many of us. IBS was sold with the same model (expansion-level of content), and while being at best a decent living story, it completely failed to deliver any new gameplay. I have no idea if anet will communicate/do some Q&A with us (will they even see this post?), but I hope we'll have answer, after this note that made have more questions than answers.

Hello, do we actually have any information/news about a way to change class (or race for those who also need it) ? I coulnd't find anything about a class change, and the last information about race change are from years ago. Do we have anything from Anet about a way to change class, either positive or negative ?

November 29 Balance Update Preview
Chromatic Drake.3168 replied to Double Tap.3940's topic in Professions
Coming from the stream, ele change are so ... weird. Power overall need much more love than condi, power weaver will bench lower than reaper with this patch. Also "massive" buff to a weapon that is already good. Also no change to the clunky tempest, already the least popular alac heal in the game. (edit : nvm it's a nerf with scepter water 3 nerfed. Lol.) I just don't understand this part at all.- 876 replies

The Increasing Toxicity in the Community
Chromatic Drake.3168 replied to lain.3148's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I don't know about toxicity, I don't care either as this word doesn't mean anything anymore, but holy I did this meta first week, and I wish we could have a votekick from map. Some players are just hopeless. -
I'm also an ele main, and I would pay a kittening tons of gems/gold for a class change. It's so hard to invest a lot in time/golds/money on a character, and to see it like that, while pretty every other class completely changed with elite spec/balance patch. I can understand that race change is pretty hard to implement, as it has a lot of impact, but I don't see anything on the class side, as they can already disable gear, rewards from story are only skins, and pretty much nothing else. I also asked support if they could do that, they recommanded to pretty much ask dev on forum as they read it to see if it was a project.

Hello, With the release of new specs, balance patch and so, I was wondering if Anet ever said anything about a way to change class, mostly as a gem store service. I saw that a race change would be near impossible, with how strong the link is between story/racial armor/etc and race,but classes don't have the same limitation, as gear is easily disabled (like when you swap elite spec), and nothing really is linked to that. Any information or something I missed on forum?

I tried to search a bit in this topic, couldn't find it, but I guess it was already somewhere, but is there anything about a class change in the shop? A new service (that can be expensive, if it's hard on database/requires manual action) that allow you to change the class if one character. It's probably a bit hard on the spaghetti side of the code, but it has no impact on anyone, it's just a service that you can skip by having an alt, you don't need any gear convertion or whatever. It also doesn't change quest/story as it's linked to your race more than your class. Does Anet ever said anything about that?

Catalyst Feedback Thread
Chromatic Drake.3168 replied to Fire Attunement.9835's topic in Elementalist
So far, I can't even see what's the idea behind catalyst. The hammer as a 3rd melee weapon, with one ranged and one mid range, is already very strange and the least possible original choice. Can't tell if it's good or bad, as I'll never play a melee ele. Then, for the catalyst itself, you gain a glorified lava font on f5, that doesn't even have a single interaction with the core class. As far as I can remember, this is the only spec that is pretty much just a core update, nothing less and nothing more. I can't even say if it's good or bad, as I feel like we didn't see the elite spec yet, just a very small core ele update (and not really a good one).
