Codename T.2847 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I wanted to play fire wizard in PvE. But I compromised; I got to play with sword/warhorn FA tempest instead... I wanted to try out Spear as a replacement for Staff against zergs in WvW, but I compromised. I got blinded by my own skills instead. You see where I'm going with this? 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Calaway.9718 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Have you tried obnoxiously demanding the things you want to become real and have everyone else cave in and acknowledge that? After watching Anet nerf Celestial gear the sky is the limit, dream big, get everyone else to go along with you, bend that class backwards if you have to. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liewec.2896 Posted Sunday at 06:59 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:59 PM he's not wrong though guys, ele should be the quintessential mage, staff should be the meta weapon. instead we get a confused weapon with some support, some cc, some damage, jack of all trades master of none. most people who play ele probably pick it because they want that mage feeling, but in Gw2 unless you're in close range, ele is kinda lame. one easy fix would be allowing fire and air Overloads to be ground target skills. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, staff is awesome. Don’t touch it! rework spear into a proper glascannon ramged mage thing but let staff be where it is. also, i love my daggers. Doesn’t has to be range but having the option is nice tho. 7 hours ago, Liewec.2896 said: one easy fix would be allowing fire and air Overloads to be ground target skills. Oh yeah that would be very nice. Skillable tho. If you play some melee thing, they can stay that way but it could be nice if they are ranged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt this just jade sphere? Granted it leans more on the boons side than damage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only when Guild Wars 2 came out that Elementalist got assigned their new position of using all of the elements, rather than the ones they wanted to specialize in. Perhaps the OG Elementalist gameplay could be achieved in Guild Wars 2 by borrowing Revenant design to a new specialization, where Legends would turn into 4 elements but you could only pick 2 of them. Then again this would require enourmous amounts of work from Anet, with utility skills and weapon reworks for one specialization, so I doubt this would ever see the light of day. Oh well, one can always dream. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, one can always dream. 🙂 Give it weaponswap. So you'd still have 20 weapon skills, but it would be two elements over two weapons rather than four elements over two weapons. Utility skills shouldn't require reworking. Glyphs would have a little less versatility, but in practice there's usually one element that any given build usually wants to use the glyph in anyway so that wouldn't be a big deal. It might be a bit off thematically to use a conjure or signet tied to a different element, but this could be regarded as simply meaning that dabbling in a third or fourth element through utility skills is still possible.
