Guild Wars 2

I been testing the new elementals and now is worse. You have to cast the skills, on all other summons are themselves that cast your own skills.

Now is a lot worse. Bring the old elementals back.

@edit
Also remove the combat and target requirement to use their skills.

can we please get elementals that attack the elementalist who summons them? i’ve been on this game for 2 years and it just seems like the logical next step for elemenetalists

make it kittening instant just like other pet command skills

not instantly happening but queue it up for the pet
0.75sec casttime is bullkitten

lmao! Want to tell Rangers about AI behavior queueing instead of instantly when you tell it? :-p Been dealing with that one for a while.

Also … you want to complain about 0.75s cast time?

Let’s look at Ranger pets:
Lashtail Devourer’s Rending Barbs = 4.00s cast time
Whiptail Devourer’s Poison Barbs = 2.50s cast time
Jungle Stalker’s Mighty Roar = 3.00s cast time
Arctodus’s Rending Maul = 1.75s cast time
All Canines’ Howls = 1.50s cast time
All Drakes’ Breaths = 1.50s cast time
Lynx’s Rending Pounce = 1.50s cast time
Snow Leopard’s Icy Pounce = 1.50s cast time
Black Bear’s Enfeebling Roar = 1.25s cast time
Murrelow’s Poison Cloud = 1.25s cast time
Polar Bear’s Icy Roar = 1.25s cast time
All Moas’ Screeches = 1.00s cast time
All Pigs’ Forage = 1.00s cast time

Do you really think your 0.75s cast time that you have to push a button for is bad?

The new elementals summons don’t work correctly at all. I don’t want to sound mean, but it is about the worse programming I have ever seen for a video game; the animation literally respond about 5-7 seconds after you pressed the button, after waiting 1 sec for the first button press to summon it. It should be fixed immediately.

that is ur pet’s cast time, not urs
when u press f2, does it interupt ur auto attack? NO
does it cancel ur rapid fire? NO
does it affect ur own dps? NO
cuz ur pet is doing it and not u

for glyph of ele, YOU YOURSELF HAVE TO CAST FOR 0.75sec to queue the ability for the elemental to use
then pray to rngesus that the ele actually uses it instead of screwing up and that takes about 3-5sec

The 0.75s is the Elementalist cast time, then is more 4s to elementals cast their skills. This is nonsense.

A whole 0.75s cast time?!

I’m curious … are you using staff, scepter, or dagger? Just curious because I want to know if that 0.75s is a whole one auto-attack or simply a fraction of an auto-attack for you :-p

As far as the AI … yep … plagues GW2 … plagued Wildstar as well (even worse) … has plagued games for quite some time now. GW2’s is bad, but I’ve seen both better and worse than GW2’s AI.

Yeah. Thats the main problem. But not the only one.
