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 😂

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.

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

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

Rip gvgs Not like we had any to begin with I suppose

Valluns great and I enjoy him/his content but remember he's also the one who suggested using sylvari elite on staff dps weaver in WvW/some other strange trait combos alongside it that I can't remember. He is not a god of balance, just knowledgeable/consistent/good in general. We need a team of valluns

Nvm, Post edited/removed bc last time I said something remotely negative about a dev I was suspended 🙂

I mean yeah, for sure for some. But I'm also sure you can understand the disappointment in investing so much time into an mmorpg only to watch the devs make highly questionable balance choices for 4 years at extremely infrequent rates

Should be a pre-requisite for every anet dev to fight harbingers on elementalist/warrior (no antitoxin rune allowed) In WvW. Make them main ele/warr for an entire week and when they've given up/lost all hope, maybe we'll see some logical changes.

A friend who is supposedly in the 'know' told me there was recently a dumpster fire regarding an anet dev who basically said - paraphrasing here - "I'm going to irritate so many people with this patch and I love it, I main guardian and don't even know what I'm doing hahaha eat it get rekt gw2 community" Haven't seen it with my own eyes but I believe it.

So when you wait for 1.5 hr for a 80-man ebg queue to pop, and you're currently in combat, you fight visibly obscured and die honourably, thus losing your queue spot and having to requeue. Cool man that sounds really fun

Necro used lich? Just disengage/don't fight Harb used Harb elite? Just disengage/don't fight Power Necro used axe 2? Oh ur instaded anyway so u pretty much already disengaged Hey fellow Necro mains let's get our class buffed some more! Necro is cool and very respected 😎

.....if your queue pops you can absolutely change maps in combat. Have you ever played WvW? Lol

Keep in mind sometimes this is just players having a queue pop for another map as well. I've probably made a few people think I was ragequitting like that. If you die with your queue ready, you'll lose it, so you have to hit travel before you fully go down. When someone ragequits I'm pretty sure the remainder of their ping still plays out/maybe even a little longer, to my knowledge I don't think it's possible to "instantly" DC but it probably looks like it regardless since you can't actually see when they alt f4

Julian doing some classic Julian stuff. Never gets old

You mean 2/4, where did you get 3 from lol, and one (air) is not exactly reliable or very effective. Augments are mostly not worth using except earth, which is just a slightly more usable earth shield 5, and the heal which is just a slightly different Ether Renewal. All the other augments do things we already had before but worse. Run any of the others in WvW roaming over the core defensive utilities and see how quickly you're taken advantage of. I'm not necessarily agreeing 100% with op, just saying your somewhat snarky post actually comes off as somewhat ignorant.
