  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    So your solution to get more people to do these events that are needed for the achi is to make the chest available to more people who haven't done the achievement?

    Sounds more like "I don't want to do the achievement, but I want to loot the chest, pls let me loot the chest without doing the achievement, ANet."

    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 It's outdated, you would need 10 years, at best, to even pay for the investment, because those items aint dropping anytime soon, so you must buy the item on the trading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.

    Greetings all,

    I stopped playing at around the end of season 5 (Icebrood Saga), I was playing a power weaver elementalist ( https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Weaver_-_Power_Weaver ) and I remember that it was incredibly hard to find groups for high level fractals (which were my favorite), RAIDS were COMPLETELY out of the picture, the few times I tried queing up I just got kicked out of the party since my class couldn't survive and overall the class itself just couldn't keep up either with dps or sustain compared to literally ALL other classes. 

    My question now that so much time has passed has the class finally gotten some attention by the devs or are literally all other classes better at the endgame still? I spent a LOT of time playing with my ele and I really fell in love with it and this was the reason why I never made a change to another class and now that I may come back to the game I want to know if things have changed?
     

    If I hop back into my old ele, watch a few youtube tutorials on the latest meta and possibly change my specialization (I'm willing to try the newest ones) will ppl still kick me out of ques for raids and will I be able to find groups for the endgame fractals?

    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'm not going to argue that other classes don't have it easier or that both their baseline and potential sustain aren't higher, but ele isn't as bad as all that.  Have you tried playing different builds?  For example, this build can manage 21k DPS while having 3.1k armor plus full protection uptime, multiple cleanses and reflects, projectile block, invuln, extra evades, and great CC as well. 

    As you can see in the clip, it's so tanky just the passive healing and barrier it generates are enough to sustain indefinitely against this champion even though I'm neither moving nor dodging to avoid any of its attacks.  But you still have all of the other active defenses, cleansing, etc. you need to handle really tough enemies up to and including legendary bounties, T2/T3 rift champions, etc.  I think this is a great build for solo play if you feel the need to survive against even the toughest challenges without giving up too much damage.

    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.

  6. 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.

    Everything in this content seems to have highly scaling HP. Every enemy in T1 rifts with a large enough group has too much HP. Normal/non-veteran enemies in large groups have more HP than the final elite solo does. It scales up the time to complete without being rewarding.

    We will encounter a point where people will be frustrated when too many people "help" with T1 rifts.

    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.

  9. 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 ^^

  10. Remove unused utility spells on professions 💣 or update them/merge two of them into something better. 
    I won't go into details of every utility spell, but for example Artillery Barrage is pretty bad and has a way too long cooldown. There are plenty of others I've never seen being used. 
    Forgot to add, most of Attribute combinations on armors and weapons also need to be removed. 

    Also for the people spamming the heck out of this merged thread, this is not for discussions. You are swarming the suggestions. If you don't like them, leave them be, if you like them, give it a thumbs up. 

  11. Please stop with the Infusion drop fixes everything mentality 💣💥
    I have been playing this game for 7 years and I have never gotten an infusion. 
    If you want to make people play an activity more, please give us more raw materials or gold. Pretending that you've fixed something behind a 0.0003% chance to get an infusion is ludicrous 💩

  12. I simply want to preview the weapons and back item on my outfit to know whether it fits or not, but when ever I got into Wardrobe, I can only see my original armor...
    Am I doing something wrong or is this how it works...? 

    (might be in a wrong part of forum, but don't know where to post this)
