mortrialus.3062 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Compared to the Bladesword it's kind of hard to exactly tell what is the new mechanic what is the utility skills and stuff. Some of the spells look gorgeous though I did laugh at the one air spell that blasted the elementalist off screen. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfyrik.2017 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Scrapper comes to Ele. Could be fun, but the spheres worry me. They sound like more limited version of turrets, banners and spirits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Crinny.6190 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Yep, Unless they buff Eles HP then Staff will be meta in WvW. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an interesting theme tying into the celestial animals of Cantha - I saw phoenix and dragon, anyway - but another melee spec isn't exactly what the elementalist community wanted. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Marshal.4098 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 That's good and all but the thing I was waiting for is the element mechanic. We have normal switching, dual pairing and overloads. Will they stick to core ele mechanics and slap wells on top to call it a day? Or is it some form of overloads all over again where at tuning to a single element pops some mobile AoE field around you? I don't mind weapon or utilities, I want to know what this spec can do with elements and I'm frustrated a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that ele gets wells as utility skills, with the phoenix and dragon being fancy animations for their wells. Then the mechanic seems to be "augments", t least they talked about augments which will also improve the well abilities if the augment is used inside the well.

Neveric.6824 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Another melee. More aoe (wells). Hammer. Wow, this is so bad, I really came to the forum to say this. I hate it. 14 2 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naneel.2348 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) I too am a bit sad it will be melee. hoped for ranged or at leastmix of meele and ranged. Effects look really cool, so Iam not completly off 😊 Edited September 16, 2021 by Naneel.2348 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zitounae.4803 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Am i the only one not expecting the def tools that should go around with -another- melee? Gotta keep hope for a staff rework someday i guess. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindBlade.8749 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 What the atunnement mechanics ? Guess they didn't reveal it yet until tomorrow like virtue for willbender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alurazle.5430 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I love Wells, didn't want Hammer or any melee weapon on my light armor and lowest vitality having class. However now I know my legendary scepter is still going to be my default. I'm hoping they at least give ele access to quickness and/or alacrity on the spec. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrollingDemigod.3041 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Funny, checked calendar it says 16.09.2021 and not 1.04.2021, I'm a bit confused by it. Another MELEE weapon for the SQUISHEST class in the entire game. Then we get WELLS, the question is though, does they work the same way as Scrappers or Necromancers, because if it's the first option then even bigger GG. The real question is: will it be more clunky than kitten Weaver or just like Reaper. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely saw a quickness there on the "Lightning well" part. So maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlKamui.5120 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Disappointed that it's melee but interested to see how the mechanic works with the Staff. Given that wells is the mechanic, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be mobile, so it probably wont be good for WvW Roaming. But who knows. I will reserve judgement till the detailed breakdown of the class and when I get to try it out in the Beta. Not looking good for what I want Eles to get though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other animals do you refer to? Phoenix is fire and the dragon seems to be Air, Water look like a skelk or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorani.7205 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I wanted torch, I get hammer. I wanted ranged, I get melee. I watched the video and I have no clue how the profession mechanic with attunement will work. I am not very happy at the moment. 9 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind weapon or utilities, I want to know what this spec can do with elements and I'm frustrated a bit. I think it could be that attuning to an element gives you a charge for that element and you maybe can unleash the charge with a new F5. So switching through all elements could then have a payoff. Maybe thats what the spheres at the feet of the ele are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoPinoyX.7923 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 There was ample opportunity to make it a ranged weapon by letting us lacrosse elemental spheres at the enemy, but instead we got Scrappermentalist. I'll wait to see how it plays out in Beta, but this could have gone in a very different direction with the weapon 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
