Guild Wars 2

Or are there at least 2-3x the amount of Elementalists there used to be in sPvP, and every single one of them is D/D now. I took a break for a couple months so it was a bit of a shock to see how much the Ele population has changed.

All I see is minion master necros.

People found out how to make the ele gamebreakenly overpowered.
Tankier than guardians while dishing out good damage, having the mobility of a mesmer with a 3 second cooldown teleport .
Not playing tanky ele gimps you.

“the mobility of a mesmer.” wut??

Some people are all FotM with ele, because while they used to be called garbage a build was discovered that made them viable. People hate it however because it makes them hard to lock down and kill.

Of course they have zero damage by doing this, but people ignore that or outright lie about it. So they have a spot being a hard to kill bunker with some mobility and zero damage (with a fun playstyle of constant ability usage). Eles literally have no other spec options though or they get blown up by people looking at them and their burst is half of a thief’s/mesmer without any of the defenses.

Of course most decent players have moved on to necros/rangers and engis to counter the current meta, but the slower people are still complaining about eles and behind the times instead of adapting and getting better.

That’s not true. They dish out a kitten ton of damage…..

It’s probably because it’s spirit watch time, seems to bring all the ele’s out of the woodwork.

I smell D/D/ele lol ^^

Maybe it changes in high tier tpvp, but I see a good mix of every class when I queue up.

Sorry but mesmers are 1 of the slowest classes outside of combat we have 1 speed buff which is focus and it isnt really worth bringing in pvp

all i see are pistol/pistol thieves. and some eles. most of them not played very well.
