i notice some ele’s are getting tanky nowadays. i dont think that they are always the first one to die in a team fight.

eles move so fast. it’s really hard to catch them.

What are you playing, a guardian? lol, seriously, if you cant catch an ele you might definitely want to recheck your build!

i only get speed buff from my storm spirit proc. you all know how slow a ranger moves without a signet.

what i’m saying is that eles are getting viable after the latest patch. i see them getting stronger. believe me.

btw, guardians are not slow pokes. they can also move really fast.

well then, put on a speed signet, it is your fault not to use it! If you want to catch someone you will need it, not only for eles but for everyone, so that argument that you only have one swiftness is no excuse. A warrior activating signet elite will outrun you, lets not even count the GS skills that he can use for said purpose. A guardian will escape you too, staff or a swiftness shout + GS and he is already faster than ele. If you truly, TRULY thing eles have godlike mobility then let me pop you down of your cloud; if you see an ele using RtL to get away from you, that ele wont have any engage/disengage for 40 seconds, use it! relay that info to your mates if you are on voice chat. The only swfitness an ele gets from S/D combo is from switching to air, which isnt even specific to D/D because thats an 10 arcane trait, the other one is from updraft which needs to hit an enemy and has a 50s CD. Let me tell you even more, Scepter nor focus have any gap closer/gap opener nor swiftness other than, once again, switching to air, use it to your advantage! i assure you they wil NOT be able to outrun even a slug.

The D/D speed increase can only be proceed in combat and we are usually forced to take signet of air, which is a sacrifice, a sacrifice apparently you are not willing to take, so all I gotta say is; deal with it. We already have one of the lowest mobility in the game after necros and mesmers, we dont need to be gutted anymore.

PS: Oh yeah, you are a zoo pet ranger, I guess you shouldnt have much validity in topic given that you play that easy and OP specc, my bet is; you are trying [in vain, truth cannot be denied] to make others think that everything is ok so that your specc can remain dominant, wont happen, mate, most plyers are starting to slowly realize in how much of a bad state eles are.

i dont want ele’s to get nerfed. that’s not my point.

maybe, i was wrong believing in an elementalist’s potential. idk.

i roll a spirit ranger build and i am aware how strong this build is but i never asked an ele to reroll in a tpvp match. i may not be a pro but i really don’t think they are a liability on a team as long as they know how to play their role well.

Once again, and let me emphasize this again;

unviable =/= useless.

Just because they can do something doesnt mean they still dont suck. This isnt about min/max anymore. An ele will pull your team down matched agaisnt equally skiled players.

LEt me put this even more simple; imagine every class had a number on a scale from 1 to 3 based on how useful they are. Warriors are 3, ele are 1

A team with a score of 12-15 matched agaisnt a team with score 9-12 is a no brainer. Eles still contribute one point, but thats still bad.

i’m sorry i didn’t mean it if i gave you that kind of impression.

i shouldn’t have said what i said. i say really stupid things sometimes even IRL.

Simply accept the fact that you can faceroll with an ele once in awhile with any build you want to play around with. However, stay firm and have lots of patience in the reality that you’ll also get facerolled ten folds in return by doing so.

And guess what? You’re the only class with a double CD on a skill. That’s how unique the ele class is!! That in itself already makes you a winner in our hearts. We still love you no matter what!

Elementalists didn’t get jack kitten last patch. Conjures are still kittening useless and they nerfed mist form even more by making it a non-capture point contribution. in the end, we got nothing while other classes got buffed.

Not true, Staff is super awesome now. If you go 30/20/0/0/20 build and convince the entire enemy team to stand still in a 10 yard circle and completely ignore you, it’s possible to Lava Font + Meteor Shower them to death!
Also we have the highest damage while downed with Lava Tomb.

See, if enemies stop moving/attacking then Elementalists are incredibly powerful, especially with staff.

Why can’t people see this.

It’s so obvious.

Eles aren’t bad. They are just completely overshadowed by warriors and necros right now. So is every other class though.

Wintel.4873:

Currently I hate to have an Ele on my team, I would rather see them on the enemy team because they barely do anything.

I love to see an ele on my team. Every single ele I’ve seen in high-level solo queues has been a very good player. Easy professions sometimes get up to high levels without having any idea how to play the game, and then get wasted by people who aren’t just button mashing.

Wow spirit ranger finding it hard to stick on an ele? Sword auto. Learn to spam it more.

Also, about-face keybind, 2, camera angle turn, 2.

srsly, in which space you live? it has been like this for ages…
