But some and not much. That its useless is exaggerated. Admit it ! ;)also are you seriously saying weaver bad ？Lightning rod weaver easily only one tier below metaI dont say bad. I´ld say not good. Like warrior. This is my honest personal unbiased impression.And its of course frustrating for these classes when outliers like holo even get buffed instead of nerfed.ah and that statement "if there's no glyph''Yea if there's no mace, condi rev would be trash too, better buff it man. such argument much wowTempest cant kill anybody, cant decap, cant hold node. No high damage no high sustain. It just gets played (still !) because there is no othersupport class with insta rez glyph. Warrior actually isnt that bad but gets knocked out by holo and rev.Devs didnt bring the outliers in line while they let stand warrior in the corner.Warrior has the damage to kill opponents, its got its CCs, its very mobile. So thats not the problem.The problem is that devs failed in balancing overperforming classes like holo.

EVERY CLASS/SPEC SHOULD BE VIABLE

[Elementalist : Class rework maybe?]

Ok they nerfed eles sustain to the ground, but well, at least they reworked some useless traits in fire trait line.Like "persisting flames" that didnt get played the last five years. Oh wait, its even more useless now lol =)

Persisting Flames: This trait no longer grants fury when using a blast finisher with a fire combo field. Instead, this trait will now grant the elementalist an additional 1% >damage for 15 seconds for each target struck with a fire field. This effect stacks up to 10 times.This means for example in a 2v2 teamfight, assumed both opponents run over the fire field, ele gets 2% damage for 15 seconds. Wow thats huge^^Ummhhh but they also reworked :Power Overwhelming: Reduced requisite might stack threshold from 10 to 8 in PvP and WvW.Sounds good ! But wait, isnt this a trait that never was picked by anybody and never wont be picked by anybody ???It grants 150 power over the threshold. Other classes have traits like this that grant higher amounts permanent.And ele wont have more than 8 might too often anymore in the future because of :Pyromancer's Puissance: In addition to granting might for each ability used while in fire attunement, this trait will now trigger Flame Expulsion when leaving fire >attunement or finishing a fire overload.Flame Expulsion: After a brief delay, the elementalist releases a fiery explosion at their location that removes up to 10 stacks of might from them. Allies are granted might >for 15 seconds based on the amount of might that was removed, while the damage of the explosion is increased by 10% per stack removed.Then they nerfed :Primordial Stance: Burning duration has been reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds, with the PvP and WvW versions remaining at 1.5 seconds. Bleeding duration has been >reduced from 8 seconds to 6 seconds globally.Lol nobody was ever interested in this utillity because of its low damage bleeding duration.Last but not least they nerfed burning on weaver sword :Searing Slash: Burning duration of this skill has been reduced from 6 seconds to 4 seconds.Thats 5 months too late dudes. Did nobody tell them that this was an issue before february patch ?I havent seen even one fire weaver the entire last season ! But probably they just wanted to make sure that weaver doesnt come up again :)

I always wanted devs to do more reworks and balance patches, but now I´ld rather see less of them in the future^^

[Can you pls]

@"SoulSlavocracy.4902" said:Well, fire weaver was able to burn someone down with condi before they even had a reasonable chance to cleanse. Burn guard now does the exact same thing ... and it still >isn't being addressed. >__>^thisSome top tiers play burnguard, causing instantly 5k burn damage per tick. That burnguards are currently the only ones who can kill Lord on foefire map alonesays everything. I ask myself whether devs think thats ok or they dont know that.That has to be looked at. 5k burn each tick is a bit much to say it careful.

[Elementalist : Class rework maybe?]

What runs wrong with ele on example obsidian flesh

Originally obsidian flesh was 4sec invulnerable with 40 sec CD. It was and is the one and only skill of ele to avoid damage and had a higher value than an ordinary block.Now its got 3sec invulnerable with 60sec CD and all skills locked down. As there are no other active defensives, ele is obliged to choose mender amulett onlyand water traitline to keep its survivability. Nerfing obsidian flesh = destroying core eles/tempests build diversity. Only weaver could live without obsidian flesh butalso isnt in a good shape. Eles build diversity = zero ! ! !Obsidian flesh hasnt got high value anymore. Every ordinary block with 30sec CD is ten times more useful !

Rework proposal (non biased) :1) Delete obsidian flesh and give ele a 30 sec CD block.2) Nerf or delete soothing mist + healing ripple and give ele some active skillful heal/defense traits to help ele out of this damn boring support role.(Why should ele support classes like necro or rev, which have much higher sustain than ele itself ???)3) Increase CD for unhealthy glyph of renewal to 120 sec.4) Make shocking aura unsharable to allies.5) Give core ele some stability (elite trade off) and reduce cast times for certain skills on staff to make it finally viable again.6) Rework useless 5 minute traits.

This is of course just a rough proposal how to rework ele and to bring back its build diversity, but to go more into details doesnt make sense,because a rework will never be done anyway. Probably not even the useless 5 minute traits will ever be reworked.

[Elementalist : Class rework maybe?]

@Axl.8924 said:I could have sworn that a year ago or so feel players were complaining about tempest not being good in SPVP.From release of PoF until february patch this year tempest wasnt playable. Too much damage around during power creep.

[Giving core engi its niche]

I would support your proposal, but do you really think devs are interested to work on core engi to make it viable ? I ld like to have your optimism man :)

[Can you pls]

@Khalisto.5780 said:What about nerfing overload healing or tempest traits or and utilitiesThey didHardy Conduit: Reduced protection duration from 3 seconds to 2 seconds in PvP only.

[5 minute traits have still NOT been reworked. What gives?]

5 minute traits will be reworked when devs have finished balancing^^

@Widmo.3186 said:They have no idea how ele works and what to do with it.^this@Shiyo.3578 said:Anytime it has a build that's playable it gets nerfs to things unrelated to that build gutting non-bunker/support builds and build variety in general for ele.Shock aura(when shared) and res signet were the problem.^this@Supreme.3164 said:What even is the scope of this class at this point?Core ele is dead for long time now.Weaver is still viable but who is happy to have a weaver in his team ?Tempest got pressured into one single role/build which has got the most boring playstyle of all classes ever :1) Sharing auras + healing in teamfights2) Insta rez with glyph3) Cant kill anybody, cant decap, cant hold nodeA pure support and runaway build that makes strong teams stronger but weak teams weaker.Its got the tools to escape but hasnt got much sustain and under pressure ele dies pretty fast. And now devs nerf sustain ? Clueless !

Ele has the most skills of all classes, its got the highest potential of all classes, its one of the hardest to play and now its the most primitive of all classes.Ele always was my favourite class but now I am close to be done with it.

Feels bad to have a PvP department without passion for PvP ! ! !

[Explosive engi has gone too far]

@Leonidrex.5649 said:this kitten kills me in actual gamesyou are not the only one ;) I dont even go in 1v1 with holo anymore because most of them kill me, and in the rare cases when I manage to pressure themthey just escape ezepeze with invulnerable and stealth.good holo = you are dead pretty fastmediocre holo = you are dead soonbad holo = an even and fair fight

A sure prove that a class/spec is overperforming is when even the bad ones are dangerous !

[PvP player population lower than ever before]

No match without necros.No match without revs,No match without holo.But where are the promised balance patches and hotfixes ?They say it will be coming soon but they dont know when.Toxicity is worse than ever before.They say gw2 should be a friendly environment but non of these trash talkers ruining PvP does ever get banned.Many players dont have fun anymore.Lowest player population ever is now the consequence.

I hope I am wrong but it feels like the beginning of the end.

(some would also say that theres too much bots/hackers but I didnt see even one on EU)

@Crab Fear.1624 said:hackers, traders, cheaters, and grievers need to be deleted forever.Let's make pvp great again.Players who brake the rules should be excluded. Increasing toxicity is also a problem.There have to be consequenzes for these people finally.

I can understand you.maybe one day i´ll find a home again.Home is not a place, its a state, its a feeling. And gw2 combat mechanics still are the best. Maybe you come back one day :)

[Give war stun dmg back]

Warrior has enough damage and CCs to kill opponents.The real problem of warrior is, that it cant stand condi damage over time. With a little help on this point it will be back.I saw Stronlo recently on warrior doing a good performance. Also a nerv on condi rev and holo will help warrior to find its role again.

Its ok I would say. Up to P2 you will see all classes/specs and some of them even with various builds.P3 and higher theres a bit less diversity (warrior? mesmer?)@Lethion.8745 said:are you happy with the state of PvP in general. If not, what is the main problem for you? I skimmed through the topics but naturally people only complains in such forums >which generally makes the situation seem worse than it actually isCommunity is a bit frustrated atm because devs started good work on balance, promised frequent balance patches, but now nothing happens anymore.Its like always, devs do something but then dont bring it consequently to an end.Main issues are condi rev sustain and holo damage. But actually the state of balance isnt that bad. Its good enough to have fun :)Some players might see this different but for most of them fun is just connected with beeing successful and when they arent they dont have fun.PvP would need more effort and passion by our devs but all in all I would say its ok. I have fun playing PvP !Check it out^^
