LR with the new arcane wave works, but in PVP, the utilities are mostly stun breaks and either Earth Shield/Lightning flash, as Sahne mentioned. So I don't see where you can fit the utility in. The trait that boosts Arcane Utilities should also grant an additional charge to the skill. Maybe then it would be more useful to take. Before I took it just to reduce the cooldowns, but then that got nerfed.

Can we be more specific??? Tempest aoe's? Staff? You say Ele in general and Anet will nerf the entire class into oblivion People complain about DH or Bezerker and Mirage. They say skills names, etc. But since no one understands Ele in the slightest, it's just Ele in general Thread 1/10- lack of effort

Cc on geyser is clever 😜 Why isn't static field as strong as necro fear ring?

Agreed. For pvp, 680 barrier from the bolstered elements trait is laughable. You only get 260 from using dual skills.

(A)Weaver dual skills need to be easier to land and stronger. (B)Otherwise all skills on staff need to be upgraded. However if you upgrade everything, all other classes will cry nerfs and the whole weapon gets trashed so I would not recommend option B

The biggest offense of all and an extreme example of gross negligence. Core ele and catalyst would’ve been fine if Anet just left it alone. But instead they buff it unnecessarily to nerf it into the ground soon after. This is why every patch note, Ele mains basically pray that the Devs forget them.

For Weaver- Masters Fortitude needs to change. Gain increased vitality while wielding a Main Hand weapon. Gain increased power (+120) while wielding a two handed weapon. This will buff core weapons to become the barrier bruiser build they were meant to be while allowing staff and hammer to pack a strong punch, especially in pvp. Leave everything else the same.

Wait till you hear about what they did to Scepter...

The animations need a lot of work. Fire 2 and earth 2 are multiple target abilities but you can barely tell cause the bullets are micro shrapnels. The weapon in general just feels like a normal gun without any Ele flare to it. If anything, use Air auto as inspiration. At least you can see the bullets fly. I only spam air 3 cause it's a leap finisher, but still pretty useless. Not sure why air 2 has a 5 sec window. Spamming skills and attunement swapping as fast as possible shouldn't be encouraged. Most fun attunement as water 2 & 3 for me. They're fast, and easy to use. Both are great for combos.

Offhand pistol would be perfect! Takes so much complexity out of this weapon choice

The bullet mechanic makes it super confusing. Every attunement you go into requires a setup process by wasting one skill to improve the other. This is exasperated with weaver Not sure why they didn't just have you conjure a bullet upon attunement swap. That way, the only thing you have to worry about it choosing a skill you want to use the bullet with.

Classic example of talking to Rangers...

Dozens? In an mmo?... Impressive Anet, please advertise your dozens of pvp playerbase

And they have the audacity to ask for more money... Lol

They nerfed the core weapons to such a degree that one would have to rely on cheese mechanics like pyromancers puissance. Spamming fire 1 till you gain enough might to detonate it. The nerfs took away all the diversity from the class. An entire game specifically designed around builds suddenly lacking options to create various builds. Nah, Pass.

Anet nerfed Elementalist as a whole too hard. Support tempest still works but everything else is just a liability. You're better off playing other professions for roamer/teamfight/duelist roles

I could beat him

Anet will do that. Then two weeks later also add: "Rock Barrier now makes you immobilized. Channel time increased to 5 sec... Oh, and it also puts you in downstate." Just cause Let's stop asking Anet for buffs on Ele. It always ends bad

This, this and more of this. Anet doesn't know how to balance Ele which is why it's in the predicament it's in. Not cause it's complicated, not cause of lack of ideas, but because of negligence Which in real-world professions, negligence is a legal offense. But Anet is just a group of techs so wgaf

I didn't buy either. Not until I see some actual balancing

Make players more aware of what's actually going on in sPvp

There should be a surrender button. If everyone on the team presses it, then game over. Without this button, the team mentally checks out anyway and surrenders. The game will still be over, just stalled till 500 points. Which is a waste of everyone's time Turn arounds happen, true. But that's only if the weakest links recognize where they are making their mistakes. A lot of it is rotation based mistakes which is hard to understand. Anet should create gameplay tutorials like they did for open world pve in EOD. Otherwise, the new players will remain clueless and get flamed at by their teammates. Either they will be mature and accept the criticism with a grain of salt, or just give up which worsens pvp as a whole

My internet is working just fine but I get this message every time I try to log in: The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. This is most commonly caused by firewall or router settings, security applications, or connecting through a campus network I use a VPN but I've always used VPN's before. This time though it won't let me log in.

Bad taste in your mouth for sure. You really do chase the experience of good matchmaking, which is so rare nowadays. Either you're dominating games 500-100 or suffering the alternative. Most times you're staring at the clock during those matches thinking what else could I be doing? The combat of equal competition is addicting, but that fix is slowly fading from lack of quantity

Why do rangers get pets and I don't? Why do thieves get stealth and Ele's don't? Why do mesmers get clones and detargetting skills? Doesn't sound fair to everyone who doesn't And on and on it goes... Why not everyone just grab a stick for a weapon and then we can call it fair And no dps long range weapons. Don't forget that. Which surprisingly, every other class with those attributes do have... Why do every other class with low hp and armor have 1200 range dps weapons and Ele's don't?!?
