Im not asking for a huge buff, but for skills like the charr Warband Support, it’s been underwhelming for a 30 second duration on a 240 second cooldown with both of the members having only 10k health.
For one, they could either have a decent amount of extra toughness or health, or an increase of both, as well as a longer duration.
Secondly, the don’t really deal much damage at all, only 400-550 and maybe they could attack more often.

For the Norn Elite skills, maybe all the transformations could have a 45 second duration instead of 30 and the skills could also do a little more damage.

For the asuran power suit, the stats it gives you could be boosted slightly…

The avatar of melandru elite should last 30 seconds up from 20, at least

And also, the charrzooka launcher should have a base of 20 charges and also, imo, the Fire Rocket Barrage skill (#5) should have an animation similar to Artillery Barrage because currently it looks like Rocket Spray…or some other change to Rocket barrage might be nice.

Although it’s nice that racial skills were incorporated, it’d be nice to see some of the elites get a little more use than they have. And again, I’m not asking for a huge buff, but just some improvements here and there eventually, because obviously there are much much much bigger priorities that Anet is set on of course.

I highly doubt it. Doing so would cause a massive outcry on these forums since it would cause some races to better than others, and people would want a refund or re-rare item.

Even if you give something as passive as say, +10 precision, people will still min-max and get angry over it. Just go look at how angry people get over ascended gear.

And then you restrict it to certain races? Oh boy.

They’ve already been buffed before, so the chances are slim for them to look into it again.

I don’t care if they do kittenty damage, the Norn transform skills need either a massive CD reduction or a massive increase in uptime. Transforming is a central part of the Norn lore and everyone except for Snow Leopard is complete garbage that locks us out of most skills and ability to attack while moving. Why not just let us be able to use them whenever for fun, even if just in PvE?

Far more have been nerfed because of WvW than have been buffed for PvE. They just need to finally admit that WvW is a PvP mode and start treating it as such, starting with removing the racial abilities.

I know it doesn’t exactly appear like the most fun solution; back before I became too fed up with WvW to even play it any more I always had Become the Bear slotted as my elementalists elite. But I would still rather see it removed from WvW and made useful in PvE than have it available but worthless in both.

holy crap…my jaw instantly dropped after watching that! like…i had no idea it could be THAT strong. But with BM rangers, i guess it is insanely strong considering all the damage buffs…
Besides Norn rangers, lol.

Plus, i also found the buff-icon i was looking for, for about a week thanks to that video.
Whats that buff he gets when he kills someone? the shield icon? does that just come from any food giving a +damage boost after killing someone?
