ohhhhhh okay, thank you!

Am I crazy? I thought the earth sphere granted resistance when this trait was selected, but now its just protection and aegis. When was this changed? I can't find anything about it in the patch notes EDIT: SORRY FOLKS i didn't realize this was a pvp only thing. guess i've been in pvp/wvw too much and i tried to pve..

Yep. Especially with the lack of new content whether it be pvp/pve/wvw. This game is perfect for casual play, years of content to do. Its just like watching a show and waiting an episode a week vs watching a show thats already completed its run. They have no respect for their veteran players, its painfully obvious. And unless you like achievement hunting/living in wvw, you're basically forced to take breaks and come back when there's an update. This game needs more content targeted towards veterans. But that in itself is very hard to accomplish with the kind of game gw2 is. I hope with their new expansion plan they're able to give something more/new to their loyal players.

Or at least have water 1 and earth 1 be ranged. At this point dagger does everything hammer does, but better.

What if they made it more like lava font? Just a single cast and no need to lock us in animation. Its the animation lock that doesnt make sense to me. Why lock us in animation and allow us to move around but limit it to a tiny aoe? I'd rather have it follow the target or have a single spin animation to summon the skill. Though I do agree with everything you said.

Just want to add that scepter feels like the only viable weapon for ele right now.

I would really like to see Hammer Air 2 function the same was as Dragons tooth: cast it on a target and have it follow them around. If no target is selected it will cast on top of you instead. It has a very long animation and small aoe. What are your thoughts about this suggestion?

I think majority of the ele community wanted longbow to be the weapon for catalyst based off a poll that was taken before the specs were announced. And after that, so many threads asking to redo catalyst after they gave us a preview of it came up as well. Im really hoping, if we at least get new weapons, the next weapon will be a longbow. Kind of ridiculous that mesmer has more 1200 range weapons than we do with 10x the potency. Though im sure if they did, it would be as useless as staff simply because we have more skills to use lol.

Especially the ult. As much as I love how cheesy it is, pressing 1 button to reset your skills as an ultimate is the epitome of laziness.

I'd also like to have our water 4 change direction if we retarget. Dunno why all the dagger-dash skills change direction mid target when you've got the option turned on, but water 4 doesn't. This kinda seems like a bug to me.

nah it would just be a recycled vindicator animation

what's rough is that there's almost no way to gap close when you land the cc with air 4. If the enemy is 300-600 units away, and you use air 4, you knock them down at that location and blast yourself back 600 units. (assuming the skill works as intended). Now you're 900-1200 units away from your target. If we take a look at our gap closers, we can see that arcane flash is our best bet to get back in range. Assuming it's not up, or we don't have it on our utility bar, the next best thing is to use water 4.. but water 4 only has 600 range and could potentially waste the valuable heal. I don't think anet made this skill to be an engage skill.. As for our utilities, i'd like to see relentless fire and shattering ice be instant cast. the 1/4 cast time is unnecessary. or maybe make it instant cast if the related jade sphere attribute is deployed? I'd like to see hammer 3 skills give us an aura on the first cast of our coil. (only on the first cast, if our coil is already going, then no aura is gained) I'd like to see the projectile speed increased for air 5, better yet, replace that skill with a 600 range teleport+stun.

here is the preview of the skyscale taken today https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/453190639564095488/1100345796655861770/image.png and here is the ingame version https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/453190639564095488/1100345890390155284/image.png Why is it showing 2 different wing sizes???

The Canthan Noble Skyscales have insanely tiny wings. They're roughly half the size of the original skyscale? I've found a few posts online about this bug, but is this the bug they are talking about or is this how it was intended? The Auspicious Pixiu Skyscale Skin has the same animation as the canthan noble skyscales, but its wings are relatively normal in comparison.

It would be a buff to spvp, but that game mode is 75% bots lol In pve & wvw, removing the energy mechanic would be sooo convenient. I wouldnt have to hit mobs before going into an actual fight just so I can get enough energy to use the spheres at the start of combat. They'd also have to rework the trait that gives you energy when swapping attunement.
