I’d like to ask the Devs to rethink about this decision, players should not be able to cap points while invulnerable.

It’s an extremely bad decision seen as eles will start now using the conjure earth shield along with the focus, with such a build an ele can achieve a total of 11s invulnerability( add mist form) + other defensive mechanisms.

Unscrupulous team/players will start abusing the ele in such a way, the last thing I want is a return of the FOTM players..and for obvious reasons

This new invulnerability capping mechanic should be revoked as soon as possible, pls, I’m asking this in the name of the whole current ele population, not before long
the nerf cries threads will start appearing on the forum and given the changes history of the ele….my concerns are quite valid.

Its one of the changes we’re seeing tomorrow.

I’m okay with it, you’re not doing any damage with mist form or earth shield so anyone dumb enough to try to just invuln all day to defend a point is going to get farmed by good players that rotate over to them after they kill all their teammates.

I too share your concern. If this makes us good at anything, we will see a bunch of unrelated nerfs that hurt every build out there (all 2 of them!), followed by even more nerfs, and finally nerfing our invulns.

Then they will change it back so that invulns can’t cap, and we will be left even worse off for 6 more months. After that, they will give a few pointless buffs that still don’t fix the core problems with the class.

I get scared any time an elementalist is even half-way effective at anything because the devs are not ok with it, it seems.

I think I missed something. Are they making it so you can cap a point while invuln now?

What’s next, capping it while stealthed too?

Heard lys mention this but couldn’t find it in the notes

Bunker support Ele new meta

PS: posting QQ about it is actually a really quick way if making something fotm. Invuln capping aside, the skill floor/cap on the build is much higher than current fotm, so should only be noticeable at high levels.

If it gets out of hand though I can post a build for solo q warriors that’s designed to cut down bunker Eles.. god help them trying to with CC.

Invisibile player does not cap so invulnerable player should not be able to cap. What’s more player that takes 0 dmg for set amout of time (warriors f.ex.) also should not be able to cap.
First of all, we should compere invisibility to the state of being invulnerable.
When you are cloacked u can not perform any other action but move and do one initial strike. When you are invulnerable, u can move and atack contunusly. I see being invulnerable much more favored in pvp since cloacked target can be dmged.

This is very important topic so plz, do not neglect this. Most players will be against this change since this pretty much only in thieves favor, but keep in mind game should be fair.

This is why ele’s can’t have anything nice…

Btw my engi can’t do anything while invuln either. Time to try the new troll invuln ele I guess.

ron and ensoriki are on point though. Try to knock them off of it.

The idea of 11 seconds of invulnarability under any circumstance, if its true, is ludicrous and should jump out kitten to any dev with a quarter of a brain we don’t even need to go into its possible uses. A-net never ceases to surprise.

Sit on node, almost die, automatically go invuln and heal for 3500+ from passive regen while still holding the node. Silly.

Why do bunker Eles not run focus and earth shield? Because both decap points.

But, but…warriors have perma-stability so runes of svanir won’t work!
