Aedil.1296 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Nothing just that. Wish I could have that fluid interesting fun playstyle with Ele without the need to be a 20 years old fresh top performing super attentive player. At least give one, ONE Ele spec that doesn't require much skill to use please. You did it for engi you can do it for Ele too. Almost 40 now, I was in my 20s when GW1 was the game 🤣 my mind is not that fresh anymore especially after work 😭 5 2 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnarox.9601 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) I would like shield or off sword. Better than this kitten pistol. But knowing anet that we want longbow, off shield and sword we would get torch offhand or even pistol offhand 🤣🤣🤣 Edited March 2 by Ragnarox.9601 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jski.6180 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 There some though sword on weaver was going to be an maces to start with but at the last min they changed it to sword due to deman. So weaver sword plays more like an maces wepon then more of an sword. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker.6924 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) A major theme of necromancer is "I harm myself to do more harm to you". There's a balancing act in how it works and if you do things wrong you canreally screw yourself. The new Necro swords fits that to a "T" with doing damage to yourself but getting healed too. That kind of mechanic doesn't fit Ele. the bullet mechanism doesn't fit Ele either Edited March 2 by Tinker.6924 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallic.2397 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) They should create a Gauntlet weapon for Ele, if not longbow. It'll be a new idea but very creative and fitting for what hammer tried to do, which was mixed ranges. You know how Holosmith makes weapons out of thin air basically? Well Ele does the same already but they conjure them. So Gauntlets, which will be a Main Hand weapon, conjures different weapons with each attunement Fire- conjure greatsword (300-900 range) Water- conjure ice Longbow (1200 range) Air- conjure dual pistols (900 range) Earth- conjure Earth Staff (300-900 range) Greatsword could be aoe and range DPS like the elite skill. Longbow could have water blasts and backwards leaps that heal at both the origin and Target location. Longbow could have a ice aura too. Air could be knockbacks and quick lightning fire. Earth could have forward leaps and 300 range autos. Staff could have blocks and a magnetic aura. That way you get a little bit of everything. You're not duplicating weapons cause it's technically a Gauntlet. But the conjures are produced from your hands with cool effects. Would have been way easier to implement and have fun with than a dusty pistol, lol. It would be a hybrid weapon but easy to use with Fire/Earth melee condi and Water/Air being ranged power. Weaver would still work. Dual skills based off the main attunement weapon. Fourth and Firth skills are still the old attunement weapon. The gauntlets conjure based off skill use. Just like Holo forge skills are different weapons for every skill Edited March 3 by Stallic.2397 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then it was actually as good as all the other specs for once and it had to be nerfed. #itsOnlyOkWhenItsNotElementalist 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZephidelGRS.9520 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Fire-camping Tempest is still comfortably doing like 39-40k DPS on the golem. The fire wizard fantasy is not dead yet. Edited March 18 by ZephidelGRS.9520 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s funny as Ele excels everywhere else other than instanced PvE. And I was pointing out without Elemental Surge, the aforementioned fire Tempest build is still perfectly pulling great numbers while being a low intensity build. It’s not going to be dead because of this change. Edited March 18 by ZephidelGRS.9520 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
