Guild Wars 2

No nerf to ele sustain? Bads are still going to get carried by blindly rotating attunements?

This is pretty sad. I was expecting something more substantial. So basically eles will now revert to using the earth traitline instead of fire, where they get protection and passive defense against crit, making them even tankier!

Only difference is that they won’t deal as much damage as d/d so I guess we can look forward to more bunker meta. The future for gw2 pvp sounds exciting.

Before anyone qqs about me not playing ele, I main it and I dare say nerfing the fire line is probably not going to fix the problem. Eles are still going to be unkillable, people will still call for nerfs. This is really disappointing, I would’ve thought they would make ele a more high risk high reward class.

I’m fine with earth eles. They deal no damage (especially with the fire attunement change), so they are just a different iteration of a bunker guard, with less boon sharing. I would have liked to see a sustain nerf, but I don’t feel like ele sustain is over the top considering they are wearing a cele amulet. It’s the damage that was ridiculous, on par with a full power or a full condition build.

22 stacks of might is still going to hurt quite a bit. I wouldn’t go as far as to say they deal no damage. Just less. Guess we’ll have to hope scepter buff makes it viable.
