Tangled Depths, Sandswept Islands, Thunderhead keep, some parts of Bitterfrost, Echovalds, Nayos, Kaineng need to be seriously revisited. Not to mention that after almost a year, some of those maps don't even show the red rift events properly. So, good job for fixing that, the main advertisement for your SoTo is not even working properly and can be a very frustrating experience.

Not fixed, dragon's stand bugged as well.

Gyala has been overtuned since release. The scaling is bad, cap the area takes too long, health sponge enemies. 500 phases bosses with tons of HP. I mean people have written about this before me, but I just feel like bumping the post.

Giving Fractal weapon skins instead of Gold Fractal weapons or Abyssal Fractal weapon skins... It's like they are not even trying. That is exactly what you would want a player to do, to throw away the reward, because it is utter putrid, the second we get it. So good job for that.

You are behaving like we actually get something worth from that chest. It's outdated, you would need 10 years, at best, to even pay for the investment, because those items aint dropping anytime soon, so you must buy the item on the trading post. I did the ach because I am mentally damaged, a sane person would never waste 1000 gold on a stupid chest that gives close to nothing, and I would not mind sharing it with someone. Even if that were a player who does not want to do the achievement. As for the person who made this thread, I already made a similar post like... 2 years ago? In the quality of life thread, but the odds they will change anything about it, are very small.

I would have to say no, don't play it. I stopped playing the weaver after trying, really hard to make it my main for 2 months. I practiced the rotation for hours, I joined fractals, raids, strikes, and after a month or so, I started getting pain in my left hand. I ignored it, and after one session in raids that was around 3h long, it got worse. Stopped playing weaver after that, my hand is fine now. As a mage enjoyer (in other rpg games), playing elementalist did not feel rewarding nor worth it.

I think they want the mystic coin's price to be on the same level as the Antique Summoning Stone, and it's getting there...

I know there are build that would help me survive, of course there are. The problem is that the Ele needs to jump through hoops and loops to survive while other classes just casually use what ever and do fine in the open world.

I will simply copy paste what I wrote in another topic regarding similar problems and hope that the devs will at least increase base hp of the elementalist. I played gw2 for about 7 years now and I decided to finally try out Elementalist, in my case Weaver. I heard many jokes how it's low hp, glass class, did not believe it. But after playing it for a couple of weeks, even with my 7 years of knowledge I easily get downed in the open world (I even have vitality jadebot core). Stop calling it a "glass cannon" because there is no cannon to be found. Ele is just a piece of glass waiting to be stomped on. What cannon, when a heavy armor herald has 200% more survivability and damage. Please buff the HP and add more survivability to Eles, I die faster than I can swap out the elements to protect or heal myself. Heck, I can't even finish casting my heal utility spell and I get downed/interrupted. TLDR; please buff Ele's HP, it's not funny anymore.

You thought they'd be fun? They are like PoF bounties with a shortcut.

Honestly, because of that veteran HP sponge scaling I've started tagging up less for events and have been trying to do the open world ach in SotO solo more often. Especially the ones where you need to carry items/collect and give them to an npc. Why on Earth would I want to heal and feed 20 Skyscales, if I can heal 4 and be done with it. They really need to fix those rewards for scaled up events. If they already exist, they are so minimal that it's not even noticeable.

First you do it with the new fractal, now on the new strike bosses. It's not fun to hit Dagda for 10 minutes, I literally felt nothing after we defeated her. Don't think I'll be doing it daily either, unless they decrease the hp.

I never tried holosmith. While leveling and getting HPs in EoD I used Base Engineer and Mechanist which were very boring. But thank you all for kind and very detailed comments ^^ They've helped me decide.

All other engineer specs are a big pass from me, only Holosmith looks kind of fun. I heard from people and saw from the benchmarks that the rotations are not exactly easy. Is it worth to invest that much time in learning that class? It would not feel good to spend hours practicing and some other class comes and smashes keys to out dps holosmith tryhard roation. The content I play are fractals and strikes, mostly. I know that the forum can be toxic, so please if you don't have anything positive to say about this, don't comment ^^
