I have got news for you! Guardian and Necro cover like 60% of the playerbase because they're busted AF...it's not like either way Anet gives a kitten when it comes to those 2 professions! It's ok for a necro to have an elite that gives all boons to himself and all condis to you...meanwhile ele got what?...tornado?

The amazing design is guardian no ele..... It is reason why 2/4 of the population go rushing around on Willbender in wvw and no ele...so stop the kitten BS, if they don't know how to balance, it means they haven't got a clue what they were trying to accomplish. They did not want to follow the design of GW1 and they went all hippy-go-lucky "original" devs, they could have used a simple double element design: 2 x elements at any given time - offense or defense role, instead than this BS 4 x elements cover all roles crap..then come down with "ops we can't balance it sorry guys"

Lol...shhhhh

Back in the days, people used to spend months practising in unranked arena, to get good enough...in the hopes of getting 25 won unranked matches in a row and unlock ranked pvp from rank 0....then keep practising some more for months, asking/begging high rank to give you a place in their team to prove yourself and start your long journey to the coveted tiger emote( Phoenix for the greats and dragon for thr best). But in GW2 ....players lose 4 games and come to forum to cry...because they lost... In light of this behaviour, Anet removed the real matchmaking which was forcing people to get good to climb ladder, they replaced that with asinine 50/50 system and force vet players to carry bad players, let them win and climb above their actual skill level. They even introduced elite specs that play themselves.....but gw2 players would still dare to come here to whine on how they lost 4 games in a row.....and some individuals still wonder why pvp in gw2 is awful.....

Mesmer is like one of the few professions after guardian, thief and necro..that gets defences even before equipping any weapon or uses any trait, gear combination. That's what makes them far easier to play that you lot would like to admit

Seriously? We forget about the part where distortion is like a mistform..but mesmers can attack while it's up. There are dozen and dozen of mesmers in wvw for a reason. Did you take a look at player stats lately? Go and see them, then come back and keep claiming that mesmer "it's hard to learn". I could have said that with core mesmer, even mirage power at some point, where they were not using infinite horizon..but since almost every mesmer started playing condi mirage with IH and staff for easy faceroll....it all went downhill since then. Chronomancer...it's like easy mode mesmer and virtuoso it's easy mode X 2

Lol...chrono shatter is like the easiest glass build in GW2...by a mile, anything hard in GW2 does not get used....so get down from your high horse non-sense.....distortion into stealth into block into teleport into mantra of distraction into distortion into stealth...oHHHHHH me me burst omegalol...into block into distortion...and things get hard....blink/stealth and gtfo....moa form for the laziest kitten or well variant for the macro lovers.

So complete lack of RL achievements "forces" few individuals to hack in a videogame to ...win something at last?...lol, funny

Calling it here and now, when it's not well-known yet( at least for the next few days).....it's a PvP bunker spec...and it's already -10 in CMC's book...it's a ranger bunker spec and that's like -100 on top. I give it 2 x balance patches top, to be gone by Christman, end of January at the latest. Taking bets in gold 2-5g

Everything got buffed but...vast majority of players will only see buffs when they are obvious and aimed at the cooky/cutter build they have been playing for months/years. Crying one month before the changes are even applied and people got time to experiment.....GW2 community should get a kitten grip already...stop kittening crying for a 1 kittening second!

Loads of positive changes for the pets: Overall reduction in the massive CD on F2 skill for all pet families, I have been saying for years that F2 skills on 35-45s CD could not be justified at all Devourers, they finally increased attack rate/speed and CD reduction, it only took 11 years but this pet will see play finally Healing soulbeast will be a thing, a very powerful option for gameplay...mace/mace will probably amplify that, Moa/Fern will pack a huge heal team burst Jaguar now applies stealth, on you it would seem...in case people missed that part, being busy with takedown nerf Anet literally screaming at you to change pets, I wouldn't say that smokescale dead but yeah....there will be better options if you're not single minded on one-shot gameplay

There is literally nothing on this class outside the 1 trick pony with glass stats......as far as PvP?wvW goes, specifically duelling/roaming/group fight. Bleeding is not something you can build anything serious around...especially when most bleeding traits require the target being CCed beforehand, adding an unnecessary layer. Nowadays, when everything in WvW is a cele tank, a power ranger will have a really really hard time making a dent in their defenses, it's an uphill battle against almost everything. Also...it's currently the lowest effort exercise to fight a ranger in wvw out of all classes. My personal experience is that 8 havok groups out of 10 will have 0 rangers, and for the remaining 2 groups...their rangers will be focused the hardest, the second they show up: the easiest class to lock down and CC to death or condi pressure to oblivion, with the pets being literally useless vast majority of times. I spent thousands of hours and in-game gold on this class, love it to bits but...kittening hell....this class was that much much stronger as duellist in the past, the skill level requirements have been increased drastically while the opposite is true for the rest. The class desperately needs better condi options to expand the gameplay options...the oneshot galore only works so many times and in fewer and fewer instance, with other classes having an easier and easier time to use ultra tanky specs with condi burst or perma boon burst or block/evade rotations...

There is no effective range of roaming builds against celestial trollsand power builds are severely lacking dmg to fight again celestial builds which are sadly like 90%of "roaming" builds. Even on glass ranger, they will facetank dmg while ranger has little to no sustain when going glass. On top of that, ranger lack access to the most powerful condis and people will laugh at your bleed stacks

Elementalist is a stats check class...you can't afford glass stats and expect the same results as some other classes, which have access to inbuilt defensive mechanics regardless of traits. On ele you need to trait for dmg(aire/fire) and sustain(water) or tankiness (earth), plus need to invest in utilities for defenses....this is the main reason why most pve eles run condi specs

The OP must be only one who will buy GW3...ho and all those redditers looking to post more screenshots of their gemshop skins. GW3???? Yeah if they pay me 100$ p/hr I will MAYBE buy another product from anet

This thread clearly shows the line between decent players and the "forum warriors" uploading nerf threads daily. If it has not been made clear till now...all top players are such because they know how to multiclass.

Every time they buff/create power builds for ele...this community loses their kitten and will cry blood and tears on the forum for weeks/months till ele gets nerfed to a worst state than before those buffs and...cata boonspam? Your definition of boon spam is very outdated, because a 1/2s of resolution/resistance every 15s on top of the common boons with any build, can be hardly considered boonspam...the only reason people even bother with catalyst anymore, it's the hammer....I don't see d/d catalysts anywhere and if this boonspam would be anywhere true, we'd see loads of them

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect This should explain everything in detail about mesmer mains.....

You are behind deluded.....

People emojying you, are those who barely know how to play a single spec on a single class and when they lose...they'll come straight here ..

Ranger is like the one profession....even spellbreakers do well against. Played warrior for 1k hrs, 6k in ranger and the latter is the class I have the most confidence going against....to suggest ranger is that much better than warrior in any shape or form..crazy

In a world where the concept of effort=reward is considered, playing a hammer cata is way harder than pressing 5-3 from 900 range while kiting around and a pulsing stability utility waiting ....oh and dmg reduction elite, and traits? Yes...in a world where effort is actually considered and we don't watch solely on the pro who succeed with something after weeks worth of practice and defeats....anybody can pick up the shortbow and press 5-3 while kiting with staff

Yes nerf ele...while monkey builds like grenade spam are allowed to exist, something that GW2 would definitely do, even funnier when gw2 players talk about skill level, while they play monkey builds like shortbow renegade/vindicator....virtuoso/chronobunker.....bladesworn...all necro builds.....deadeye....what a kittening joke

This is what I have warned you about....I warned you in all those nerf threads of yours that ele on contrary to all other professions has literally no base concept. Everything it's just stack as much defense as you can and hope to kill something fast at melee range, there is no counter pressure idea or range swap to change strategy, no...it's all about rushing in and combo as fast as you can in the hope of killing something. The majority of times you will be there on ele in the middle of all aoe spamming from ez/braindead mode of condi builds.....and that's what ele has been since launch, only now other professions have literally no weaknesses and can easily facetank ele dmg on average. They gutted scepter damage...when professions like necro can range passive you for 6k dmg with no animation, mesmers can 2 shot you from, 1200/while distorted , revenants with that shortbow 3 do 3x more dmg than dragon's tooth ever did.....yeah it truly sucks to be an ele, it was fun to play again for few months after scepter/ cata buffs, but now we're back to square 1 where the only thing worth playing is Tempest for the jokes, the reason why I shelved ele once again and this time forever, because this time I won't be here for the next "oh look ele is good again" phase in 4-5 years from now. Back on ranger for the time being, for that little time I will spend on this joke

You know something is bad and worthless to play when people on a gw2 forum...laugh at you for claiming otherwise. There are no mention of elementalist anywhere anymore, not even silvers lose easily to an ele anymore, and the OP is a bronze rank...the only level where they would still complain about ele "luckily". And ofc 8 out of 10 eles now will be Tempest, which is the only thing worth logging in on the class. Elementalist is a class worth logging on every 4-5 years for a bunch of months, before it gets nerfed horribly and need to wait another 4-5 years for another go
