Swagg.9236 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Eles were ranged spike damage and area control in a game that made sense. For some reason the sequel just kept giving them melee weapons until there's no significant difference between them and warrior anymore. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ele: The one mage in gaming who realized a thin robe and a fancy stick aren't sufficient for a battlefield. Guardian: Proof that god exists and he does care. Necro: And so does the devil.

What are you talking about? Ele clearly does have a role: it's the only class that can activate "PvP Challenge Mode" for the team! That power is so unique that ANet keep nerfing it in fear it will bring more tears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLOL, good one. That right there speak in volume!!!! WTF is an elementalist? Are they mages or weather forecasters? Today will be scorching hot, tomorrow expect snow, all of next week will be arid and dry with chances of thunderstorms. In WvW double meteor shower Cata "may" be an asset depending on your commander. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior mains do wish to UNGA BUNGA, you can see it in all threads that veer into berserker talk(and even berserker can't unga bunga), but for some reason Anet does not let warrior UNGA BUNGA like all other professions and forces the chess style play of knowing how all other builds work so you can have an answer to the situation, push and pull, but with time everything started doing 15 things per second and the only answer became kiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Anet will allow warriors to Unga Bunga and they expect you guys to wear a tuxedo after 6pm for the evening cocktail party at private hotel lounge, sipping on cognac or 18yr old single malt whiskey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
