Get into my puddles and remove my weakness :((

My biggest issue with WvW is that I can't play elementalist. I am garbage at playing elementalist. Yet, there exists in this game some players who are actually quite good at elementalist. Usually they beat me in WvW. This is unfair! Nerf any elementalist!

It does feel kind of like dealing with retal, yeah, but actually it's worse. Retal screwed my damage by making me less than 90% health, weakness just cuts my damage by 75%.

Why did they leave every other class not listed out of it? It's the optimal roaming food for most specs (shh, don't tell him about holographic super cake, he doesn't know...) edit: actually, nevermind, it's ele's fault. just nerf elementalist. 🙄 duh

I don't mind weakness/chill spam if we're comped up and have aoe cleanse uptime but as far as general disorganized WvW'ing goes (as it usually is, let's be real here) it's obnoxious and just encourages boonball domination. Can't fight back vs a boonball if everything I do is not a critical hit lol. It feels like I have weakness 50% of the time just because I'm hitting the enemy consistently; effectively I'm being punished by the game for doing what I'm supposed to do. I already know 25% of the responses to this thread will just be "get a healer" etc ... you've missed the point entirely. Someone else can explain it to you, I don't have the time.

I'm leaving this here even though I know you're being sardonic 😂 Excellent ****post, OP. It's artwork.

We need to nerf Meteor Shower again. It almost does 3000 damage sometimes on full glass that's just too much

You're actually correct, just not for any of the reasons you stated, OP. Tempest does have a broken build right now, comparable to cele death magic harbinger (but harbinger can get away with anything and will never be nerfed, unlike elementalist, if elementalist does anything right then it must IMMEDIATELY be NERFED!). Of the few who even know of this specific build config, few can play it correctly and most just get frustrated/give up because even the easiest most bull-crap ele build is actually still more difficult to play than other classes, who would've thought. Doing damage while healing and being mobile with stability is not a unique trait (no pun intended) of elementalist. Does Guardian come to mind? Just as one example, since Willbender does all 4 exceptionally well - arguably much easier/with less effort and to a greater effect, even. What you're describing is a good elementalist player. Someone with way too many hours on their ele character(s). I hate to say it but you are, as you feared (😅) just experiencing a skill issue. Getting top DPS in your pvp match is nice and all, but that's a lot like getting a participation trophy. tl;dr elementalist is supposed to be high skill floor high skill ceiling; if a day-one absolute new elementalist player autoattacked someone to death many would still say elementalist is overpowered and it wasn't their fault or the ele's skill.

Thieves are so oppressed /s

Still incredibly useful for WvW. Some players will try to tell you otherwise - this is because they're bad at game. With practice you'll top the DPS chart on staff weaver, or at least consistently get #2 and generate a lot of downs. Other than that, no, not that I'm aware. Yes it needs changes in all game modes.

Signet tempest isn't even that good, you're just 1v3ing bad players. Can do this on any build Yes it's a decent build but they nerfed it into oblivion and it's not as good as you want it to sound lol

I'm sorry that you ran into me or another (rare) competent ele in wvw roaming. In my experience 90% of ele players in wvw are just free bags. Most play tempest, and very badly. Most of the cata players try to use fire arcane scepter focus builds and fail miserably at doing so effectively. You ran into the 1% and are making a thread as if every ele is like that. This is why #ITSNOTOKWHENELEDOESIT. It's ok when any other class can do it, but if elementalist can, IT MUST BE NERFED!!!!!!! immediately!!!

Rare thief W post, actually quite a reasonable thing to say. However the solution you reference is having superior mobility & running away. 7k hits out of near-perma stealth is not counterable for most builds and even classes entirely.

I mean.. you're not really wrong Calming down would help your message be easier to receive for most ppl tho lol

Yeah this is huge for any sword build. I always felt like I should've been hitting when it wasn't

Ele is perpetually stuck as a class that is 1) unplayable and weak & 2) overpowered unkillable class Just depends on who you ask and how good the ele in question is

>Ele op >Ranger needs buff Can't make this stuff up

Spot on for elementalist Wait, you meant thief?

As an ele main with hundreds of videos posted on yt dedicated just to ele and all it's specs (I know that doesn't validate what I'm saying automatically, but just saying - not just a casual ele player here)... What are you smoking OP. You sound like you don't even play ele. Edit: yes obviously there are issues but come on lol what a dramatic post

This is a continuation of the previous thread, posted January 17, 2019 which was closed. It is still impossible to catch the kegs, making the only way to complete the heart waiting for buckets to spawn and then waking drunken patrons. Not a big deal, since there are plenty of water buckets around, but still glitched.

I make off-meta ele builds/content on YT, you may find some of it inspiring for your own builds. If I had to pick one build as a "meta" build, it would be fire 122 arcane 331 full celestial hammer catalyst (311) with eagle rune/speed relic. But I only use it when I'm forced to because I'm fighting something really cheesy. Here is a recent one: Sword Weaver builds: I have a lot more but I don't want to spam this thread with them. GLHF. P.S. Jen's builds are basic

No it's never happening stop asking

It's rare that I fully agree with you

Cries in ele only having one good ranged weapon and even then FA scepter won't do very well vs unkillable cele bm/DM harb, nor will the nerfed into the abyss signet build that I wish ppl would just forget about since it's garbage now

Video guy here, just stopping by to say sorry for the random engi clips at the start (I think nade engi is almost as annoying + just kinda making a meme vid) and yeah, cele harbinger is disgusting. I think what we should do is nerf elementalist again
