Level 80 Elementalist, experienced player in pvp, trying out pve for now.
Can we expect any change in balance soon?

Sometimes it’s really so frustrating to play this game. Whenever I log in I’m already depressed of the thought facing the cheese specs in tourney’s. A warrior can eat a full churning earth without any problem but I can’t take 3 auto attacks from a kitten hammer. Any CC spec should almost do no damage what so ever. It’s dumb that you get 10k health taken while being CC’d, I’m not taking about warriors alone, necro’s and other classes fall under that category as well.
For an ai spec spirit ranger is extremely effective which is dumb as kitten, engi decap specs can kiss my kitten . Scepter air on ele is broken as well since everything is instant. AND SO ON….
Where is the kitten counterplay?!

I feel the same way, the fun aspect isn’t really there anymore. In fact the past month or so I’ve just been forcing myself to play to grind some rank, but I usually just end up doing the daily and then logging for the night because…why bother?
changes in balancve have already been specifically announced for dec 10th in this thread:
I predict a balance change before December 11 but after December 9.

10th december balance changes won’t be enough.
It’s a step in the right direction for the most part ( aside diamond skin) but it won’t really change anything.
If anything, it will push bunker meta all the way, since they’re basically nerfing all viable sources of damage without addressing bunker capabilities.

Glad I’m not alone.

There is no counter-play and there probably never will be.
But there are counter-builds. Unfortunately the Elementalists doesn’t currently have any.
But complaining is futile. For months now the community has complained about:
- AI spam
- Visual clutter
- Passive play
- Condition pressure
- and excessive AoE damage and CC.
But instead of addressing those complaints, ANet turned around and made a series of completely random changes. Some of which address some of the aforementioned issues, but most of which do not.
It really begs the question of why have a forum if the developers are just going to balance based on their personal play-experience?
