The original developers of gw2 were godlike compared to the current devs who clearly don't understand the elementalist class and why it used to be so enjoyable. When I think about why I stopped playing gw2 I think "pistol for ele".

Whoever created this thread, may they rot in gw2 hell forever. Anet actually listened to their stupid, stupid request and implemented it. As a result, they completely kittened Stone Heart. Stone Heart was a skill which was designed by the original GW2 game designers in all their wisdom. I don't think the current bunch of devs have even 1% of the design skills and flair that the original designers had. They listen to game players requests and implement them apparently no knowledge of game balance. Stone Heart is dead, and elementalist has is dying against the power creep of all the power builds. What a shame

Holy kitten you're right. They were there. LOL

I have Four legendary sigils in my account. On one of my characters (which happens to be my main character) I can only see 2 legendary sigils, and on all other characters I can see 4. I have tried everything I can think of, including un-equipping EVERY item of armor, weapon and trinkets from every character... but the problem remains. I created a support ticket. They asked for some screenshots to prove it. After I did so, they asked me to create a bug report in-game. From previous experience, I know that bug reports end up nowhere. I will never hear back from a bug report. So is that it?? I have permanently lost 2 legendary sigils on my main character which I use for raids? Thanks anet.

Unless you're name is Boyce

Given that most male character's outfits in gw2 look like skirts, I don't see much difference.

Is this guild still open?

No it's not cool at all. Its a stupid bug. It happens in the PVP lobby too. Dying, when you're just trying to get from A to B, is far from cool.

Seriously though, the expansion promotion videos promised an exciting and powerful new ele specialisation. But now we see that how out of touch the publicity department at anet is with their devs. The devs came up with a barely playable new spec for eles. Two weeks later they spot a video made by one of the top players in the world achieving high dps on a test golem, and they nerf it into nothingness. The catalyst spec, from the start, was either badly thought out or a complete pi**-take. To give another mele weapon to the class with the lowest armor in the game, shows, if nothing else an expectation that it will require skill to play. And then to nerf it as soon as there are signs that skilled players are actually playing it just cynical. Honestly, I too regret paying for the expansion. Such a waste.

This is absolutely true. Anet saw Roul's benchmark of catalyst doing 44k dmg against a test golem and went into hard panic mode. WTF. Have the devs actuallly tried to play pre-nerf catalyst in real world PVE or PVP ? (Ie, not against a test dummy). Only a handful of people in the world have the skill to maintain anything close to 44k dmg with pre-nerf catalyst. And yet Anet saw this one video and say "Oh noez we made a mistake. Catalyst can do 33% more damage then any other class, so we have to triple the cooldown of F5". Honestly, this is absolutely the most stupid, incompetent low IQ thing I have ever witnessed in game dev. If anet do not reverse this nerf, or try and do something to fix catalyst asap then there is something seriously wrong. Everyone wanting refunds for the ele expenditures are COMPLETELY justified. I actually raised a support ticket about Catalyst being unusable in PVE and PVP. Support responded by telling me to communicate with the devs in this forum. Do the devs actually read this? Who knows? They probably do for a laugh but then move on to more pressing bug fixes. Anyway, the fact is that catalyst is an absoluetly useless class. It showed signs of some promise in the hands of a few very high-level players. But anet have now nerfed it it to hell. It is NOT a fun class to play. I don't how the devs can let this roll and still have a conscience

So many good suggestions in this thread. It's 2022 and EoD is about to be released. Did anet listen? No. Rebound is still trash. Tempest's elites are a joke. I only main ele. Why do I still play gw2 ?? I don't know, but Elden Ring is coming out in the same week as EoD. I'll probably switch. I only ever play mages, and anet have nerfed the living kitten out of elementalist.

I'm looking at the elementalist traits while in PVP on 22nd Feb 2022 (EoD hasn't been replaced yet). Hovering the mouse over the Elemental Shielding trait shows that it already grants protection for 2.5 seconds. However, this page lists one of the Tempest changes as: "Elemental Shielding: Increased protection duration from 2 seconds to 2.5 seconds in PvP only" Very confused

Yes this is still a bug in 2022. Does anet ever fix these bugs? How can we contact anet?

Hi. How can I join? Can you send me an invite please ?
