Sunshine.5014 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Mesmer's Blink Spoiler https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Blink - 30s cooldown - 1200 range - Break Stun Elementalist's Flash Spoiler https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lightning_Flash - 40s cooldown - 900 range - No Stun break - Deal 399 damage to max 1 target within the AoE Is the 399 single target damage high enough that we trade off 25% more cooldown, shorter range, and no stun break? Ele has been a subject of Creeping Normality for long enough that we don't recognize how many nerfs have made Ele's skills much worse than the counterpart's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creeping_normality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Maybe you should rename this to Lightning Flash since that is the topic of your concern? I don't know if you're coming at this from a pve or pvp perspective, but they both have the same cooldowns of 35s in wvw/pvp. They both have traits for cooldown reductions and extra bonuses. Blink - 20% reduction, 1.5s superspeed Flash - 20% reduction, 6s regen and vigor Hey let's also include thief while we're at it and see if the tradeoffs are good or not in comparison. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shadowstep - 50s cooldown - 1200 range - Stun break - Shadow return 15s, cure 3 conditions Trait - 20% reduction You class ain't the only one that has seen nerfs that have left you behind the pecking order.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
