Yo CMC - the ele empire is here - all classes lose viability in the face of ele

[Trevor Boyer.6524]

And unfortunately, Arenanet seems to have nothing planned at all to fix this problem tomorrow.

Read it, there is no mention towards Elementalist whatsoever -> Upcoming changes and features/2023-07-18 - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W)

What justification you got for nerfing core ele?

Scepter 1 spam, Written In Stone, Auras in general, too much Stability access.

Core Ele needs to be brought down to par with other core classes, which will nerf all the specializations, and they do need to be nerfed. You can't ignore Core Ele when like 75% or greater of what is making Catalyst/Tempest so broken, is coming directly off of Core Ele. The truth is right now is that Core Ele is on par in strength with other classes actual specializations, when other core classes are heavily underperforming vs. specializations.

Core Ele is certainly bloated when you compare it to other core classes. For example, and the Ele mains need to be real with themselves here, if we were to run a "Core Class Tournament". Do you think that any class would be used except for Core Ele? Core Ele would absolutely dominant every other core class worse than Catalyst dominates other specializations. This is due to most of its brokenness coming from Scepter 1 spam, Written In Stone, and Auras in general, not to mention it would still have absurd Stability uptime vs. other Core Classes.

It really is my true, Core Ele in general is just bloated. It is not just Catalyst.

I’m just gonna disagree. It may be a strong core spec but it’s an average spec in the meta. Yeah burns on scepter are a problem across the board, but outside of that it just seems like it would perform worse than catalyst
