They’re not listening to the players anyway. Might aswell remove anything but D/D Ele from PvP at this point.

I think eles are underpowered. They still needed thief.
Can we buff ele mobility and damage? Dont forget to remove cd from ashes too!
Then ele will be considered balanced in my eyes.

After all if everyone playing the same class and build then its down to personal skill and rotation right guys? Perfect balance archieved ^^

Why not nerf necro instead? Kappa

Only reason those 4 eles won was because of group stealth and SB 5.

Nerf thieves

Yeah I agree, 4 eles is not enough, they lack of stealth for an unstoppable 5 eles comp.

Pls buff it.

just give ele stealth.. there problem solved

Yeh cos anet always see so ething and respond super fast right. Unless by “in before” you mean in 3 years.

Celestial was dominant for 18 months then they buffed it in their patch. My guess would be they will buf elementalist in their next update, probably not meaning to.

either way anyone caring about balance at this point is in the wrong game. This isnt and never will be designed as a competitive game. After 3 years that should be obvious

surrge.3214:

Watch next patch is gonna give tempest smoke field….

No 5 eles? Pls buff eles, they are too weak ;(

Obvious solution is obvious: nerf thieves and buff ele’s

edit: oh wait people here are actually serious? o-o maybe I better watch the vid.

Is there an organized Anti-Ele event or… Did some tourney just end or what? Why is there like 6 ele threads all of the sudden?

The audacity that OP thief carrying 4 poor Eles to victory knows no bounds.

On the other hand, after months of complaining how OP thiefs are, we finaly have prof, that a single op thief can carry a team to victory.

Because yeah, weeks we have been saying this, but now we have undisputable proof of the Thief opnes.

PD: would be nice if you linked a video of it.

Added the video to the original post.

As much as I do agree with some things, I for one am glad devs do not listen to the utter moronic drivel drooling from some peoples gaping maws on this forum.

Note: I mean do mean forum not this thread specifically, we’ve all seen the completely stupid things that go around sometimes.

Ele does need to be retuned, pun intended, but it’s not as simple as simply nerfing a few traits, the problem goes very deep into the core of the profession, traits and skills. I’m genuinely surprised engy got the rework and not ele.

so what, have months of 3-5ele vs 3-5ele only pvp until HoT is released and they have time for complete proffesion overhaul.

Or couple nerfs to most ridiculsly OP things and have good, diverse pvp (even if it turns out ele is GASP!! not the absolutely strongest class for a month), while they work on a comprehensive balance pass?

Even full on temporary removal of the class from pvp (disable queue option – ele not allowed to queue until there is time/resources for balancing) is better then current state.

lololol. This makes the balance team look like a complete joke. I bet whoever handles ele is nervous right now. I can just imagine them thinking about how they will need to take a break from playing ping pong or foosball and actually do some work.

Eles need more buffs. And then change name class into Royal Class Elementalists or Arch Class Elementalists.

Every day that dd eles with fire trait line run unchecked is Anet showing us…. well… yeah.

It’s too far gone at this point. The best thing to do is to delete all other classes and change the name to EleWars2, it’s better to work around a mistake than admit a mistake was ever made.

Yeah…

This is just embarrassing anet…

Read, think, reply. Great example of what I said in the first part. I am really glad the devs do not listen to the forums.

Read the last part, what did it say? It says ele needs retuning but it isn’t as simple as nerf blinding ashes and a bit of water because ele is in a state where arcana and water are almost mandatory now and just ends up with the same problem as before the patch. There’s no reason they can’t start on some more core issues like little survivability outside of water and arcana by adjusting defensive cool downs.

Remember what happened to ele before the spec patch? They were falling out of meta. What do you think will happen with simple nerfs? I’ll give you a clue, shoutbow bunker guard comps and we’ll have just as much complaining.

Here’s the party composition for those that need the info : http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_Overskill

Here’s the party composition for those that need the info : http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_Overskill

Build team “Overskill”? Really?

Is the skill in knowing when to roll your face from right to left on the keyboard versus when to roll it from left to right?

Or is the skill all in the one Thief player having to actually try to match the OPedness of the four Elementalists?

LOL!! How to troll a balance team.

Well, there are some counters mentioned in the build. You could study it if you want to do better against them!

stof.9341:

Counters;
2 or more eles DC
DDOS
Enemy team finds a way to get more eles

^That made my day. Espesially DDoS part.

But in the end we all know that thief carried these poor eles. Ele are squishy after all like it was mentioned on recent stream.

Nerf thief. And revenant just in case.

Thief OP – nerf asap.

Ele underpowered – buff asap.

#balance2015

“This is a composition which heavily utilizes the epitome of skill and perfect balance that is DD ele”

lol

I have also played such a match while being solo with my ranger in ranked. My teammates were all four playing ele. All Points were decapped for about 6 minutes, then we got the first cap, about 2 minutes later the second cap. Match ended with about 200 points on our side after 15 minutes. Enemy got zero points. I thought this was just a troll group and this could not work against tournament players, … but in the end i was wrong.

" This is no longer a conspiracy or a lie. What we are witnessing here is a revelation of the all seeing eye "

F.M

Arena net:
Do You Believe Us Now?

After 3 years and Anet still havent achieve what is vital for every competitive game out there.
A skill rewarding gameplay.

Lets take for example LoL. Sure there are some broken heroes from time to time but a skillfull opponent will be able to shout em down.A skillfull team will shut em down.Well played strategies will take em down.

Theres no excuse for wanting a game to be competitive and not aiming for high risk – high reward gameplay.
And if they are aiming for it they failed soooooo hard so far

told ya’ll quad ele would become a thing. it’s the masterrace.

Buff eles….Just Do It !!!

Aww come on :U I just found a build to climb that MMR ladder with faster baff ele pliz :v

Putting eles aside i think cele amu and vamp runes should be overhauled as priority. Most so annoing meta build have at least one of those in common.

The ele have been op for me than one year but it is insane since last patch => ok
We are at the most imbalanced level gw2 has ever seen => thanks
Anet is still not planning any change on ele => bye

kThxBye…This team name is so telling :-)
Honestly thank you guys!!!
Nobody has been so helpful for the pvp community.

those d/d eles hp bar reminded the 55/75 hp farms on gw1 >_>

ANET need to see this video (they should be anyway if they take any interest in their own game’s tourneys) and stop being so stubborn.

It was sad to watch and listen to.

They should buff elementalist.

Traits that need to become baseline asap:
- Blinding Ashes
- Cleansing Wave
- Arcane Precision
- Elemental Contingency
- Stone Heart

Then Elementalist will be balanced both in sustain and damage.

Like i said before in some other thread, easy game means more players, also theres no point of spending resources balancing game where an expansion will be added with alot of changes.

I espect a big update 6months after Hot to try to balance the game.

TBH, I find more emblematic the fact they needed to reroll to thief in order to win the game >_>

Ele can do everything ( and be the best at it) aside thief role, cuz no one can take thief role ( aka: thief will always be needed, even if it’s not that strong).

The fact no one can take over thief role is way worse than ele being OP, cuz ele can be nerfed now or then, but thief can’t be nerfed without literally breaking the proff.

Food for thoughts.

I agree there is not much/anything that will be done in time. HOT is too close, and who knows if there will be a meta change due to specs, but i am not confident ele will be toned down in any way. People i know everywhere have just rerolled ele because the trade off is so great when it comes to time learning the class converting to success.

I’m just not convinced they will be toned down by passive buffs to other classes (new specialisations ). It will take an active nerf from anet to tone them down so people dont roll them to insta win, or by stacking them in a team.

tldr; the balance team is lazy

So true. It’s just ridiculous that there is a role in the game which the d/d ele hasn’t taken over.
Possible solutions:
- SB#5 now costs 12 initiative
- Earth#5 is a smoke field (maybe lower CD)
- reduce CD of Lightning Flash, something between 10-20 secs.

Food for thoughts.

The solution here is obvious…

nerf necro
