Well if hfb and ham stay like they are , ele is not gonna get more playerbase choice , for me (as you said ) the alac generator is lackluster and you have not a lot of choice to , out of water , in term of healing. I undertsand you would like to let ele have his uniqueness, but fact is he is underperforming actually and only fan of it play it , no actuall benefit to play it (except 'rebound').

Hello everyone , I send a mail to Anet support to ask them if they are gonna change stuff about the ele , i am concerned about healtempest , i always wanted to play it , but it lacks a lot of things , and i dont like underperforming cause of my class choice. They told me they are really looking ideas in the forums , which i believe is true : people were complaining about no stab (can be but with a huge tradeoff) and no aegis , and we are getting those with shouts , and that greats ! but really not enough , so 2 ideas of change that could really make a difference for me : - Invigorating torrents : give régénération and vigor on allies you grant an aura / i would change régéneration into alacrity (and change the gm trait who give alacrity in whatever you want and would actually greatly benefit alactempest dps too) , so you can take elemental bastion from gm traits (or +15% damage dps version) and still have very decent healing trough your overload (with "unstable conduit" granting an aura when you finish an overload + "powerfull aura" sharing your aura to your subgroup) and your shouts who grant allies aura baseline. -Elemental attunement : arcane trait who grants a boon to you and allies whenever you change an attunement , i would change the might given from changing to fire , into fury , it will allow you to play arcane as healingtempest , having the attunement reduction cd , + some boon duration , healing on dodging , pulsing revive etc ... and also allow you to NOT TAKE air traitline while healing , for the only purpose to grant fury ... Tell me what you think about it ? have you other ideas ? Ty , have a nice day.

While i think it is pretty fine and not op at all , you know what anet thinks about unique bonus party damage modifier ? Ask "spotter" , "assassin's presence" or poor banners from warrior , never gonna happen (while i really like your overall new reworked arcane skills). The thing i could change is arcane brillance being a single projectiles , but you get 50-60% of the damage of it as healing. Arcane power : reload 1 ammunition from every arcane skill and increase effect of the next arcane skill u use , more bounce , more healing , bigger area of effect , or whatsoever. All arcane skills should be an ammunition type skill + bonus effect from your actual attunement , baseline.

32% of ppl in raids now (34% in strikes) , so ppl believe that with the nerf less ham are playing ? or that mech is perfectly fine ? haha . 1 player out of 3 in raids and strikes plays mech , because it is fun maybe ? No it's busted ! Anet patched a lot of others class with a variety of numbers modificator and cd reduction , they dont get it ! it's a the full mechanics of those classes that need to be reviewed , it's not because my water trident is now on a 10 sec cd that i will play healtempest .... i still need to switch attunement to give boons , then i have less healing , mechanist has his mech who take care of all boons while you heal it's a duo , like a support + a healer ... what can even get close to that ? Those numbers are an aberration ! https://gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/popularity plz anet do something , or the only class you will have to care about is mech , cause no one gonna play something else if it goes on ... 26% to 32% wow !!! gj anet , 95% of the buffs you gave to other class , in that regard , were useless.

It is the base barrier from mech who has been nerfed , halfed , ratio from healing stat not , so play as Ham and you will see it is more like -25% barrier . This nerf was more ment for alac/dps mecha , having a class who give alac , 25 might , fury and pulse decent barrier while dealing good chunk of damage was not ok . Think of it the same as scourge , scourge had a pretty decent barrier generation with no trade off in his build , mecha had the same. Now if you want a decent barrier generator , you ll have to invest points in healing, dont forget you have 2 passiv source of barrier generator , mace AA , and mech pulsing auto every 3secs . And 2 toggle abilty to pulse them , f3 and the sigil , even with a 260 pulse its pretty good for a non healing buiuld .

Me mech ! Me pew pew ! And me dont know who Mech Anics is.

Once the game launched on steam , once they've done all the stuff they need , i hope they can focus more on the balance aspect of the game , pve is atm a joke , and i have been told that pvp , wvw are a mess too . We will see today , people are gonna try , hardcore guilds are gonna camp the raid training golem and in a few days , something's gonna come out and i hope it will not be a new afk mech build (they are so many , flametrhower afk , afk bomb dropper , mace alac afk , pew pew afk,....)

Yeah it's kind of jealousy , but more afraid that the game gets more and more mechs players only , have you done raids or strikes recently ? well the numbers of mechs increase day by day , i see no rev. , ele , warrior , whatsoever (sometimes one guy , who seem to be lost...) . Thats the main problem for me , i do play the mech pew pew afk , sure not everyone plays it , but the numbers are there ,26% of the players choose mech in endgame content (strikes and raids , fb still dominant in fractals at same level of mech) Thats the funny part ! Just take a SAB pistol or the winter popgun , the noise !!!! I have been told to switch my sab gun to another skin cause of that noise , people have no humor , ...hum.... or sensible ears 😛

And they are still people trying to defend the spec saying it's at 26% played in endgame content because it has a lot of roles management... yeah sure the 8 mechanist in my raid where all playing HAM.... I remember when you had to do a full rotation to hope reach 30k , now you just have to press 1! Accessibilty ? more like stupidity Yes that sound familiar to me .

you can try it , but i think when you have touched ham or hfb you will be dissapointed. True hfb and ham are getting some nerfs , but what make those two powerfull is there boon access and their heal access , Ham has not very strong pure heal , but its has healing 100% of the time trough medkit spray , it's not huge , but bieng able to heal whenever you want is the key . Example you are playing ele , you need to go fire attunement from water , because your stacks of mights start to deplete , then a groupmember take a huge hit leaving it with 1000hp ... what are you gonna use ? your healing skill on a 20 secs cds , or water signet ? 20 cd too... , no healtempest has two huge problem : -boon access locked from swap attunement making you choose between heal/boon momentum (the patch correct it a bit with stab and aegis from shouts , ... but clearly not sufficient) -healing access : while the heal of the tempest are strong , it's their accessibility who is the problem , before the alac trait you could take bastion of elements who was a huge healing out of water option , now you have to choose between healing access or alacrity ... those two option should ne merged... Just look at ham : he pulse barrier with f3 skills that give might fury barrier and from that barrier pulsing alac . Hfb just belch out with no interruption quickness and has many option for huge heals in melee and long range with staff with both low cooldown and great accessibilty Another problem is i mentionned up is the alac bend to overloads (should have been auras) just imagine starting to overload and hop you get interrupted get your attunement to the 20 cd and destroyed your boon uptime (especially alacrity) ,... no , healtempest is taking a huge risk for no rewards at all , take it if you are a fan of it , but if you like efficiency do not touch it , sincerely ...

Well if you look at jormag tusk they are long indeed but not that large and both dont ressemble the slightiest . But ty for the comparison english isn't my first langage and i didnt knew that a tusk was the same thing like an elephant had , a tusk was for me more like a scale (dont know where i got that idea) .

This is my point of view , but for me tempest as healalac will still be far away from a HAM or a HFB , changes are good and open new ways to increase ele effectiveness , but not quite sufficient , we have way better skills in both e-specs mentionned up (just do the math , eye of storm will give 1stab for 5s , stand you ground give 5 stacks of stab. for 6s...) And there are way other problem with ele as healer : -Not a lot of sustained heal , soothing water has a duration of 10-7secs when you go out of water , then you are left with your healing skill and maybe 1 utilty to heal (cause you gonna take eye of the storm and aftershock to have stab + aegis) -Boon aplication , if you want to generate fury (as hfb and ham has) you ll have to take air traitline , whos a shore to take as healer for only 1 interesting trait. -Strong overload but 20 secs cd on attunement you overloaded , never overload water , the longer cooldown on it is actually a heal loss (great design.... your "strongest" heal skill actually input your heal further in time ....). All those problem will make tempest heal a choice for player who want a challenge , for efficiency ... well do not take ele ... only good point of healtempest is "rebound" who can save your subgroup from a wipe .

In bitterfrost frontier story (where you are angry with braham) it is referred as a fang .

That has to be one of the weirdest trait of all the game , what is the purpose of that skill ? give might to allies ? well play tempest then . Deal damage ? yeah nice by getting you rid off 10 stacks of might .... , this is one of the traits they need to completely rework , change it's purpose , as for the moment it has none.

They are reversing mirages nerf so you just know Suyheuti . For meteor shower they should just get rid off the damage and make food rain instead of fireballs , why not meatballs , like the animated movie , so the boss will start eating those , get fat and have a heart attack and gg !!! Then anet will nerf it and transform those meatball into soja cakes ! No, more serioulsy , they just have to make this aoe less rng , a thing like every 2 secondes a meteor hit one of the target in the aoe and deal less cleave damage (like 33% of the base damage) and also why not add a stun on the first hit , those are meteors right ? If a windblast like "gale" skill knock a target , then a freaking meteor should make it go underground !

Jormag tooth ! Compare the tooth in his jaw from dragon storm instance from the one in hoelbrak , holy kitten , i swear that always bothers me when i am doing my pinata on dragon bash festival and get a glimpse inside hoelbrak big room...

We will see what next patch will bring up , dont see ele coming back with that , it's kind of hitting the right direction but isnt enough (choose : eye of the storm : groupbreakstun , superspeed, 1stab for 5 secs against stand your ground : 5 stab for 6secs , self breakstun , resolution , same cooldown , well i've already chosen 😛 ) anet need to compare and look why people play this , this or this , ... they are indeed nerfing barrier on mech (which was ridicilously huge) and ramping the numbers of forgotten weapon (e.g : staff for ele) so good vibes for future i guess , i will still camp mech pew pew as dps cause "big boomer" get a +5% damage , hello 31k afk ! And for people trying to argue with obtena , do as i did (ty to the guy who said me that) just ignore , he s living in a world who's limit are his own safe bubble....

Agree and not , if those are in a decent spot more people should play it , no ? not the case and about the reward for playing those , get the good example of alactempest , if you are only one time failing your overload , just one time ,interrupted or dodge an incoming one shot : there goes your alac , cya . Look at mech , he pulse alac afk , the mech give a barrier every 3secs passively to nearby allies and so give 1-2 secs alac , + aa on mace last hit give barrier too , it's a 100% uptime without any risk... why bother playing alactempest ? you are a fan of fire , water etc , well nice i am a fan of efficiency and when i take an insurence i take the full package ! True on the bad design for the pwoer specs , the -10% damage dealt on spectacular sphere is an abomination , who literaly make me puke when i hover on it with my mouse , you do that that and that and ooohhh and also we input yourself a -10% damage dealt ... disgusting design ... but i agree with anet for the first change , baseline quickness was indeed a bad idea. At last good news , people were complaining for the ns on nerf on mirage and anet cancelled those . Appreciate a lot the "we will focus more on builds that are dominating the meta, rather than builds that could theoretically dominate". and meta is engi mech if no one guessed.

I think too would be better if they take that out (just use the stats of your helmet) , the only content where you actually care about your aquatic stuff is underwater fractal who is also the worst fractal you can get ( i used to love dolphins , now that i regularly do my t4 i hate them !) But in the wide game , underwater is poorly designed , you have no weapon to choose , some specs/skills doesnt work in water (try playing mech or play rev. with kalla underwater ...) it's just a content who is there but won't get any changes , and i personnaly dont mind about it, they are more important things to change than water combat.

Happy to hear that they reverse the changes , when things are done right we need to point that out too , i know people (me included) trash talk a lot , but thats because we love the game, ty for the information .

this is turning to a drama i will do as i a said 15 lines up , ignore you , you live in a world of care bears , where you think everything is equal , stay there ! good for you and a pleasure to never read anything from you !

sustainable ? tell me how ? and criteria is like " hmmmm do i choose to be weak or do i choose to be srong ". yeah hard choice ....

i can understand the game atm is pretty hard to balance ,, and i trust anet gonna do something about the flaws but stop denying that actually everything goes for the emch and thats way not fair.

how is it not a problem , having the squishiest class of the game underperforming for 5years ... thats 5 years , can you not see this is a flaw and must be corrected ?

hmmm kp.me take time to load it seems , good night.
