Guild Wars 2

top teams running 2 eles now?… isn’t this a sign of imbalance?.. im sure there are other reasons why ele needs nerf but this is a pretty good indication.

the best indication is probably, that y’all have to open balance threads in the wrong subforum. not only the wrong subforum, but in EVERY subforum.

and just fyi, running 2 elementalists is a huge huge risk for these teams. an ele is so much quicker to focus down than a guard and doesn’t bring the same amount of support. but better ask those teams for themselves, why they run dual ele setups

Except they are not easy to focus down tho. The two eles they run are both celestials, one d/d and another staff and in matches, they were able to hold 1v2 quite well whille still doing tons of damage.

Ele is the new broken tanky DPS, which has taken over warrior’s spot from last meta.

Running 2 eles is about as NOT-risky as you can get, given that they are essentially all-purpose boon-spamming sustain tanks which can 1v1, team fight, and even decap quickly.

The only good news is that unlike hambow, being a good ele takes a lot more skill than hammer chaining and spamming combustive shot.

How is ele a dps….. d/d is a bruiser and staff is a bunker. In a teamfight eles are also way more vulnerable than a warrior.

I rather have people running more active builds than a bunker guardian so i dont know why you are complaining. After all this is conquest so expect people to run builds that dont die like flies.

if you try to kill a celestial ele with a soldier user class or smthing that is not full dps/condi , ofc it will take time.

In fact there are lot of tips to take down eles in a quick 2vs1 assist , make him switch to water , burst after he used his attenument and gg

nb : Chill/Root/Poison/daze or stun hlps a lot as well.
