I play a power sword/dagger water/air build often. It's practically immune to condi and bursts people down easily. Lots of fun. Absolutely clowning on ppl with it lately since the noobs are forced to learn non-cele builds and don't know what they're doing. I do think Weaver could use a little work but overall, your mileage may vary. Ive also used a celestial (post-patch) fire/air weaver with primordial stance and balth runes, barrier traits, and it was also pretty good albeit less viable for 1vX due to squish factor. Staff weaver also remains the highest damage dealer in all of wvw if you play it correctly and don't use vitality stats.

Awesome. Love to see it. Side note, ask yourselves, if people don't cry for engi nerfs because someone made an all-engi zerg and it works, why is it fair that we cry for ele nerfs when someone makes an all-ele PvP group and it works. It's only bad when ele does it 😂

Swords Necro is all I ever wanted for Ele.

They did, in the form of scepter. But then it was actually as good as all the other specs for once and it had to be nerfed. #itsOnlyOkWhenItsNotElementalist -
Same phenomenon occuring IRL. Might be the same thing, actually. Everyone is complaining about it IRL, people are actually quite UNIFIED not divided about the issues, we all want the same things removed, and the people who are in power do nothing and actively make the problems worse intentionally. It's almost like celestial and boonball is a political issue, and I find that kittening hilarious.

Now that Thief perma-stealthing has been taken care of...

Even for internet sarcasm, Is possibly the most obvious sarcasm within context. How many shadow arts thieves do you see in the average GvG? I feel bad for the others you attempt to gaslight on these forums, or rather I would if your attempts weren't so obvious. Try to have a better day! Don't let the shadow arts Zerg build bite -

Oof you did not detect my very obvious sarcasm. I'm gonna leave you alone because this is like taking candy from a baby. Have a good day sir. XD -
How would you rate Catalyst, post june patch ?

It's fun to try that build but with air 222 instead of arcane, but it's simply not as powerful as a duelist without protection/vigor and dodge skills. Does make roaming in WvW easier and bursts quite more threatening though -

Hey man I can kill noob thieves who have no idea what they're doing as well At actual competitive levels of gameplay (which is rarer these days I'll admit) it's overpowered as a mechanic bc it's too easy to abuse and outside of reveal there is literally (literally, actually) zero counters to it. You get hit by the thief or you waste all your evades/blocks/invulns and get hit afterward, either way if the thief is actually any good you're getting slapped -

I'm sure everyone would want to Zerg on shadow arts thieves. Are you speaking about yourself? Do you even realize how ridiculous a statement you've just made lol? Let me guess you're a diamond rank who still mains a condi druid or something like that. You're right, this is gw2 forums, I don't know what I was expecting 😂 try talking to some competitive players and get back to me -

Thief stealth still isn't any better bc it's fundamentally OP lol Just like how every class needs passive cleanses built in to make condi not fundamentally broken, so too does every class need reveals built into common utilities/traits (ele have zero, gl on any melee build which is most) -
I got hit for 11k by jade sphere b-something, I forget the skill name. In any case mech is still low effort low skill high reward crap.

I like it a lot currently. If I see an EoD spec roamer in WvW I just quickly swap to this build and usually can win with relative ease unless they're very good. I love the spinny orb things. I underestimated the air augment and elite augments value/usability. If anything gets within melee range of me when I'm fire attunement they get deleted from the game similar to fire weaver, but I can also spam fire autos now with quickness to do a small burst at midrange. It feels a lot like playing core ele, but improved; it used to feel a lot like playing core ele but with handicaps. You rotate essentially the same way you would on core ele and that's probably why so many people don't like it even though it's quite good as a duelist. On tempest you could theoretically rotate similarly but due to attunements and the sort of builds it encourages you'll often find yourself staying in attunes for longer. Not so for core ele where you are forced to utilize every skill off CD. Same seems to apply to catalyst except you are rewarded much more for doing so efficiently. https://youtu.be/bPlOLA_cOI4 -
Sure it wouldnt be a huge deal overall because yes, they can just go to eotm assuming the buff isn't applied there as well, and what is gained may be worth what is lost (at least regarding zergling gameplay). Yet it's worth noting that many of them are spontaneously organized and don't want to switch maps just to have a few skrims and then go back to zerging. Does that mean the idea is bad or won't work? No, but we've driven that community to the ground already so maybe just keep them in mind. This would also make roaming pretty aids as well if I remember the OP accurately but tbh I skimmed it and not rereading due to time. Sounds cool needs refinement
