Been maining ele for over 5+ years. I was a fool to keep my hopes up that this "profession update" will finally address our concerns. Not only did it not address them, it made us even worse. They throw us a Alac boon in an unideal trait that basically still makes us useless. WoW's balance is kitten too, but at the very least they have the courtesy to change the meta nearly every patch, to give some specs a time to shine.
I'm done with this game. I'll play when we get fixed, or not play at all.
Anet, if you fix Eles, I will dump my money into gems, 100%.
