Does that man staff mirage will work as power DPS or still busted since nerfs of might gen and alac?

Reaper exists as a DPS check as someone else said check your DPS to compare if you are lower you are prob bad at the game if you are a reaper well sorry ARENANET doesn't want you to be good so in the trashbin you go no power DPS for necro.

Elementalist has its issues too being that its balanced around having at all times all elements and sometimes ARENANET forcing eles to go into melee range while limiting options for blocks its pretty strange way to handle. Right now plenty of people are squabbling over who deserves to be viable and what build is too easy but our fighting just makes everything harder for the guys who work at arenanet to balance everything out. we fight over petty stuff and yet warriors aren't happy thief mains are also pretty annoyed as are some ranger mains sure druid was improved but there is always something to improve. One thing is for certain: There should be split between wvw and pve and just because something is good in pvp doesn't mean it gets to be uselesss overall in pve. So don't go denying that eles don't have their issues. Eles had issues in spvp when it comes to balancing viability not too long ago and WVW

IT doesn't change the fact if you got 1 class 20-30% below everyone else and for a while its just not good design. World of warcraft has very close balance to each class and you should be able to do every single bit of content with the clas otherwise you might as well just delete said class from options if its not going to be balanced to not give people false hope. Necromancers have been at the bottom how long now? really long time time for someone else to take that position.

can i ask you guys a question related to is it true that condi mechanist? i heard it has some pretty sweet numbers anyone able to show what kinda pve numbers you can get with mechanist?

Thats a terrible idea i'm not saying every utility for ele has to be great but having niche stuff that helps prop up ele when needed is quite important, especially since its so squishy. This suggestion could possibly break weaver, especially since it seems to have some mele procss in melee range.

They could ya know just increase DPS out of reaper shroud and have a separate line for tanking and overhaul reaper shroud moves to be more for tanking with support or something

Your other option "DO NOTHING" will continue to kill this game off and any desire for people to play the game. You keep saying reaper is fine its as is intended and keep talking about support yet reaper doesn't even succeed at anything what is it supposed to do then?

True that there is more than 1 way to be desired good support/DPS and heals etc buffs but Reaper offers nothing of the sort and falls short in the DPS range its way below everyone so because of that nobody is going to pick reaper when its a liabilitty. Also in my opinion about the mech nerfs: Instead of nerfing mech DPS down to subpar levels they should have just buffed reaper to 37k left mech at that level in pve or 1-2k DPS nerf at most. Its the newest spec and not sure if it has a place now.

I'd prefer balancing of ceiling and floor of ele and figure out what each spec is allowed to succeed at weaver the power DPS?what about peeps who want to play power DPS tempest?

In truth if it was a minor dps lost say you were at 37k and down t 36.5k i'd still play iut maybe even 35k DPS as long as i can do enough dmg in the phsae to kill now once you start getting into lets say 6-10k Difference its simply too much for a dps class to have that little unless it offers some serious support to compete like i see eles still do some DPS while they heal and do it well but if you take away their heal for instance then no.

Balance in the eyes of obtenna is DO nothing and when arenanet fumbles THEY FIXED YOUR CLASS SEE? elementalist grumble of problems there is no fire you are fine your class works see? necros complain about problems HEY its not their job to fix stuff Then what is their job?

This is exactly why we need changes for reaper to buff dmg so they don't have htat happen i experienced it and don't want it to happen again.

ITs their job to figure it out they have folks they need to put effort into having some testers or something to playt he game and find solutions for classes put deadlines or months into balancing classes out. They are the managers not me its their job they got responsibility if you mess up in a multimillion dollar and you feel stressed well its your responsibility to figure out a solution or hire people around you to fix the problem and find someone you trust.

We are the paying customers if people who play lets say warrior ele mains rangers guardans and necros aren't satisfied they lose money If they continue to fail their game goes under remember google stadia? thats not a desireable outcome. While making new specs is great asa it sells and gives content to people if your content all it does is have minor interest then people leave thats not good for a company if people jsut keep being lost look at what happened to world of warcraft where subs gets lost due to mistakes from activision blizzard. Not saying customers are always right but CMON at some point they got to take repsonsibility for mistakes on reaper and fix issues. People are speaking up and they want reaper to be desireable for raids.

If i ask you lets say to produce a music album and all you can do is screech in a mic and create noise as bad as noise on a chalkboard you won't make it if you have a job in a multimillion dollar company and a position as director and fail you know what happens? company goes under and so do you and you hurt the rep. They don't need excuses that forgive them for this they need to get off and fix this problem because its their job. IF the people up top in arenanet cannot get results they don't deserve to have their positions its their jobs to solve problems and they are supposed to be smart and know how to solve problems regarding class balance. you say not every class is supposed ot have raid but yet some classes have dominance FB was dominant as buffer multiple rev specs are viable and yet you can't even get nec right? why because you don't care?

Thats their problem though also excuses doesn't help them especially since their balance for necromancers overall is very fishy.

Low tier fractals have low requirements so easier to complete and less fuss on tier 1 fractals but later on reapers DPS falls through the roof because it loses tons of dmg upon getting hit and it dps basically plummets. With how punishing it is, that is not ok. I don't know what you main i don't care frankly but you seem to either playing open world and soloing regular mobs or doing jump puzzles or maybe low tier dungeons cause if you do that you gonna have your DPS become non existent and that is not good. Like i said before If anyone wants to play reaper as a DPS in raids or high CM fractals they should have the option be viable and not cut off. It creates stigma and toxicity and create a situation of superiority where one gets to be toxic laugh and point at someone and harrass. You can do pretty much anything in open world but when it comes to you know group stuff that is higher tier You are expected to kinda have certain things under control you know how military are trained and swat have everything planned to a T? well thats for a reason people plan out raids DPS etc and anyone who plays a class has to understand their class and offer something and if they don't they get benched and stigmatized and harrased and shamed for being underpowered which creates more people leave this game and it spretty simple: SOme people really love reaper and nec and want them both to be able to do content because in the past people have stigmatized and shamed them and they got benched and were underpowered. By your standards you are equivalent tohttps://www.salon.com/2016/08/04/this_is_fine_cartoonist_on_why_its_not_fine_after_all_its_a_response_to_how_weird_and_bad_2016_has_made_me_feel/ You know that one? ignore the problem and hope it goes away? well that doesn't work it makes the problem become worse and does damage to arenanets reputation and is a terrible advice.

Pls nerf necro its jsut so OP

This is why i asked about balancing the tools kit ele has like: Why did they nerf the blink ele has from kit? just as a example. I also think if you want a class like ele to use dagger in melee range either its DPS needs to be so op its top by a lot OR you need to improve the knife in mobility and evade or give it such so its somewhat like the way mesmers get invulns and stuff.

I-m talking primarily pve

Then when is ANET going to get off their butts to fix it?

Yeah fire and air for DPS earth for sustain tools and water for heal arcane for some mixture of stuff sustain and sometimes DPS Fire and earth for condi would be nice for a solution.

Can they maybe then fix the utilities and the flexibility and the damage? It just seems unlikely Arenanet will make ele superior dps to all and something has to be done to allow flexibiltiy for all specs.

Can they maybe overhaul mobility avoidances or something maybe earth so its not a massive DPS loss? Something to help eles as i think they aren't going to give them massive power creep DPS that is way above so wouldn't it just be better to make it so eles utility mobility and sustain is better balanced then to fit this light mobile and glassy DPS?
