Core ele is so bad that...

... that it's the only core profession whose Icon you can not have as profile picture on the forum.

Now of course, this is a joke, but isn't it a funny coincidence that the class who is so invisible to the devs that it's unplayable is also invisible / unselectable on the forums  : o ) ?

Its very bad over nerf to its effects due to anet balancing of elite spec. and over all buffing other classes dps to be about the same in all game types regardless of risk reward.

 

Core ele is the npc class at this point where in a world that every one can use magic makes them an ele at some level much like ranger core is just a person with a bow and a pet.
