Going to jump to a conclusion and assume the majority of arguments in this thread don’t understand how class balance work. The classes or effects aren’t intrinsically balanced for the existance of 4 or more. That is not an element of the class or effect that makes them powerful but the option to stack things to an extreme. Why do you think you can only stack might to 25 or other boons only stack to a max amount? Not because the given boon is too stong, but the ability to stack them infinitely would cause problems with various builds.
The profession stack limit is not linked to said class’s balance.
noone will ever run any other comp with more than 2 of the same class that are not eles, it’s not like there are other classes that can do everything and win any 1v1
On a side note…are you seriusly defending teams stacking more than 2 eles/even worse defending celestial eles themself or just trolling?
As a note, we’re aware of the odd interaction between elementalist downstate and Vampirism runes and are tracking a fix for an upcoming build.
Rune of Vamp downstate bug was fixed on Tuesday.
Why exactly was this not announced prior to the ESL monthly finals that just took place? I feel this had a significant impact on the outcome of several matches, I personally know I would have fared far better if I had vamp to deal with taunt+cc bursts.

Because it was going to have a significant outcome on several matches that included people exploiting an advantage provided by an obviously bugged rune set. Shouldn’t come to depend on game bugs to bolster your performance or playstyle, they can go away at any time.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, my point is that the rune set wasn’t bugged during the monthly final due to the stealth fix the day before, but nobody knew about it so nobody ran it.

Nope. I’m complaining about not having vamp runes to help with burst when everyone else is using it, and don’t pretend that you’ve never had any problem with taunt when used in a coordinated team. You wanna know how necessary vamp is at the moment when everyone else can use it? Try getting a taunt burst combo together with any other zerker/marauder class or cele necro 2v1 vs an enemy mesmer running meta build with vamp who has already bust his stunbreaks, then try vs an ele running meta build without vamp who has already bust his stunbreaks. See which gets the kill faster.
Imo anyone who runs vamp runes should be sent to auschwitz
So would you like to go there now, or do you have stuff to pack?
EDIT: Yes it wasn’t your actual build, but you obviously used vamp in that match since you got leeching proc on heal

Honestly, I was hoping that it wouldn’t work to save them the embarrassment but covering up a new problem by introducing an old one does not look very promising
I would love ESL to enforce more rules, since you can’t count on biannual balance patch. And I vote for a ban of vampiric runes: enough of these cheesy full zerker builds with zero risk / high rewards.
Balance team is a bunch of clowns, hurting the game to the full extent of their abilities.

They should ban it anyway because it’s bugged across all classes. They banned it on ele when it was bugged on ele.

Vamp rune currently is giving the real mist form ele skill and you can swap attunements and proc traits while using the skill mist form so the rune is working as intended.
This ofcourse means that other professions are able to use their profession specific skills also during the vamp proc.
Mist form as a skill might be broken but currently it’s not the runes fault.
Vamp rune used to give you a vapor form which is the elementalist downed state mist form skill and that caused the bug with ele resetting it’s downed state hp when using the skill vapor form while downed.
Now my suggestion here is to ban the vamp runes from every profession in pvp events.
For arenanet i suggest you to rework vamp or replace it with some other rune set for pvp. Pvp has too much invulns and passive invulns already.

What about the Overpowered interaction of stack 4 eles?
I believe 4 class stacking is against ESL rules. As for the elementalist itself, we’re looking into it.
I WONDER WHY 4 class stacking is against the rules!
My guess is that ANET asked them to implement the rule. This way it doesn’t seem like ele is as much over the top and the balance team doesn’t need to do any work to fix it.
Due to an ongoing bug with Vampirism Runes, we will not be allowing Elementalists to use this runeset in upcoming Go4 Cups, including the one taking place tomorrow. This is due to a bug that was brought to out attention that resets an elementalist’s downstate health while the rune is equipped. We will remove this restriction once the relevant bug has been fixed. Thank you for your cooperation.
Well this explains the anomalies going on in unranked pvp lately
