Why even take weaver over tempest in PvE?

@Zenith.7301 said:Most of the sword skills do no damage, and nothing will really approach air overload with fresh air for power builds. The damage is pathetic on most of these skills. Why are elementalists still saddled with incredibly low autoattack damage as the class with the least HP and armor in the game? Ele needs to be top DPS to offset its fragility. It brings virtually nothing in PvE that a warrior doesn't do better outside of damage.

Do you just grab a dart and throw it blind at the dartboard to determine figures for ability base damage values and coefficients?

More than likely it will be obvious to anyone that most if not all of these PoF elite specs won't see the light of day in instanced PvE because they all seem loaded with PvP gimmicks and low numbers that make them terrible for PvE.

But overloads are useless to eles playing pvp/wvw as they get easily interrupted/kited in any 1v1 situation.-Tempest is for group play, PvE centric, healbot-Weaver is single target dmg, self sustain ( barrier/dodge/evasion skills ) more PvP centered.

There is something for everybody now, pvers and pvpers, I have dropped ele for 2 years because of tempest and so did many other pvepers, we welcome weaver

Weaver dmg is to slow to be viable in wvw sadly or to short of a ranges or to few targets. Wvw has become super fast now and if you cant drop your bomb with in 3-4 sec your not going to be a dmg class.

Tempest still kind of wvw all though tempest pure healing not as viable as it use to be barrier put and end to that.
