Guild Wars 2

I was watching a movie earlier today and a scene happened….as he was reading I thought….hey…..it’s like he’s describing D/D Ele’s:

Speed: Unknown
Size: Unknown

The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Never engage this class! Your only chance?
Hide, and pray it does not find you…

So uh….ya….ANet you can go ahead and update the description whenever. Some credit for the find would be nice.

Thanks! ^^

As an ele player I shoot lightning from my kitten, and sneeze tornados, I look at a player sideways and he melts…

Are we finished with exagerations? we will receive nerfs and good ele players are happy with it, wait for it and stop spamming useless threads.

ANET saying they are looking at it and ANET doing something about it are two different things. It’s been 3 months since the traits came out. There is really no excuse for ANET at this point. Threads like this will continue until they decide to get to work.

What I don’t understand is why d/d is getting a lot of hate again. I recently started playing this again after being gone for a year+ Has something changed to the d/d kit that makes it overwhelming? Or is it just celestial Amy that gives them the needed hp and healing power to live?

The synergy with celestial is a huge part about it. The build would still be pretty solid, and have a decent chance at staying meta with a soldier, carrion, or maybe marauder amulet, but celestial really just gives it everything it needs. That is what happens when you give a class the lowest base stats, then make every stat exceptionally useful for it. Then add an amulet that gives all stats and significantly more total to “make up” for its lack of specialization. Ele is more or less simply stat starved, and celestial allows it to feed that hunger and then some.

Three reasons…

1. Best at burn stacking which is also really OP right now.
2. Best at condi removal
3. Amazing at self healing

It is by far the strongest spec in the entire game right now.

Definitely the strongest spec in Conquest. The class simply has every needed Conquest aspect.

Your “keeping a node contested” classes and roamers are covered with just 2 Celestial D/D Ele’s and a Thief. Everything else can basically be damage + support fillers to complement said classes.

War, Engi and Ele were strong with Celestial amulet thanks to that April patch last year. We recently received a patch in June that kinda removed that Cele power on War and Engi, but Ele still remains very strong. So you now have 1 strong class instead of three. People are realizing the apparent unbalances.
