Why Anet cant see this is beyond me, unless they are listening a little too much to the test dummy player/raider who only really have knowledge of dps skill rotation spamming.I honestly think Ele is in a solid spot, Weaver issue is down to the Sword, the other weapons just offer way more damage. Once Sword gets the buffs it needs, Weaver i think will be in a really solid spot. Except against Condi Mesmer/Chrono/Mirage but you will still have the option to run away. Like most will do because of how unbalanced and unfun they are to fight against. Then theres Warrior with their insane bunker defense while having insane passive regens, blocks and such and insane Zerk damage, mobility and CC :/Can you explain me how Scepter/focus FA is in a good spot ?

Well, You have access to everything that all other ele have access to. It is down to player choice what weapons they take and such, Scepter is mostly the go to, but it can be run on others. Your off hand is again down to choice. You pick defense (Focus) or Mobility, CC, Healing, Damage (Dagger) It is also player choice to go full zerk. To say that its in a bad spot simply because of player CHOICE is a bit silly. I have seen some FA Ele destroying people, i have also seen some getting destroyed. Build and player skill is very important. If you want to run full zerk gear, then go ahead. Just know that if the person you attack survives your burst then you are going to regret it, Make sure you have defensive options. Then there is always the choice of NOT going full zerk, its not exactly needed with quite a few dmaage modifiers both in traits and runesets and sigils.

Duel attack is telegraphed and slow.dagger/X again another melee build, same issues as sword/X but much worse sustain.Staff - useless in PVPLets pick out some random skills with 2.1k power/ 450 condy : vapor blade, hits for 245..flame strike, hits for 354, 600 burn in totalDragons tooth - useless apart from downed playersit goes on...
