Ok so i wasnt excited about gw2 in ages…. srry for my honesty developers but this patch finally turned that around… a 1st step i hope
just a few opinions then…
Wardrobe - love the wardrobe, excellent addition to the game!!!! it does have 1 problem that doesnt affect me directly, from what i’ve been reading a lot of the town clothes turned into non dyeable tonics (i just have witch costume and love to use it in combat
a few more dye option would be nice tho…. never the less excelent addition!!
Mega Server - Its also a pleasure to see so many ppl everywhere i go, excellent job with it !! (PVE and PVP merge included)
sPvP
My main is Elementalist, all is good in PvE, i dont play WvW
I do play mainly sPvP now… my toughts about that
1 – Elementalist still falls behind every other class, fire trait seems useless, air is not that great either and to be honest i highly prefer evasive arcana over elemental contigency
(its not a bad concept but lets take this example… roaming in a big map from point to point most of the times you are in air…. someone attacks you you get fury, to me that want to play support Ele fury is not so usefull and the really usefull one, retaliation imediatly gets on a 10 sec cooldown… its just too hard to get it to work the way you want, especially since most of the times it depends on someone “randomly” attacking you on a 10 sec timer you cant be on Top of)
I really like Stone heart (a lot better then useless diamond skin* Ele gets under 90% hp with any attack….*)and even aquatic benevolence is very usefull but i rather use evasive arcana… if the healing buff also affected you it would be a different story still usefull…..
NOW THE EXCEPTION —-———— THE new sPvP MAP —-—————— Courtyard!!!!!!!
Finally a map where i feel Ele doesnt fall behind, if you can survive the big bursts your team is usually all there to support you
You can hide using line of sight and recuperate… not those massive maps where everyone can catch up to you and wipe the floor with your Ele’s kitten
real teamplay as i dont see stuff like in most maps where ppl go to a point you’re already taking just to get points instead of being usefull to team, ppl rezzing everyone as they go down, interrupting finishers… again… the only MAP where i feel Ele isnt stomped by everyone just to give you an idea… i have a close to 50% wins in other sPvP maps.. i played 9 matches in courtward… won 7
Plz make more maps like this!!!!!!!! and why not maybe capture the Flag maps? one can wish…..
IMo this happens because its a team play map… if a thief/warrior/mesmer fails to burst you immediately, he’s in trouble and your not the meat for every other class in this map as your team is always close by…
imagine one OP 1v1 class goes for you… he (as usual ignores everyone and goes for the Ele… even if you’re down he’s in trouble as long as you did some damage and even the Ele downed skill becomes more usefull then usual wink wink
anyone feel free to comment, especially Ele’s
