WvW Mobility / Elementalist previous nerfs.
RTL is needed because D/D ele is locked in melee.
Considering that paired with cloth+low HP and no defense mechanic, ele deserves the highest mobility amongst professions….
War, thieves outrageous movement is not required since they have access to 1500 range or stealth and 900….
Ele only chance of Killing something is via CC but stability and cond cleanse negates it easily….
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
All of this. This gives eles underlying problems. I can’t run from a group, but being so squishy I should be able to.
I have to leave a fight that stacks against me quicker than another class unless I bust FGS.
But balance wise I think it is abhorrent warriors have a cheaper RTL on that cooldown.

ele has great mobility, its just that most players are stuck playing ele as if it was the old DD who could both rush in and rush out. Gotta pick which of the two works better for you now. I don’t see why you would have to ‘outrun’ someone, and ele can run away from anyone but thief, got swiftness, got teleport, got invulnerability.

Please enlighten us! SHOW it….
To answer your easy question….
You need to outrun your target because you have LESS RANGE for example so need to stay melee range to have access to most of your skills.

play d\f ele without auras swiftness…
… mobility?? what is it? xD (RTL fix is egoistic)
Yes, many classes have better “movement skills”, but ele can give long chill, or stun\cc for every of this skills and run away.. may be run away
and i lied, i use earth shield and fire sword for “mobility”
