Guild Wars 2

I can say that after a whopping 4 years waiting, it’s hard to contain my excitement about the recent scepter buffs on ele, those auto-attacks finally do dmg and are decent.
Meta or not, people wanted something fun and efficient to use, I’m confident that scepter will see much more use from now on, which game mode I dunno.

Again, ty, the wait was worth it in the end ^^

P.S the reduction of all those after cast has made the weapon set a pure joy to play

Agreed

Yepp, the Scepter buffs really made me happy as wel, can’t w8 to test them out. I’d be very happy if Fresh Air finally turned out to be a viable build, since it’s one of the hardest and most fun builds to play.

Time to Dust off my meteorlogicus, the way Scepter plays has always been much to my liking, but Cast time issues, and bad auto attacks holded it back. While this buff is not lifting the weapon up to the top of the top, it makes it viable in pve for sure (haven’t tested in pvp yet). And more importantly: much more fun. Finally it feels more fluid in it’s fast switching gameplay. The Air buff is really good. Sure it’s not lead dps in the game still, but it has two advantages: No reflect can counter it and it hits 3 targets in line. I kinda like it now, still below dps other weapons sets, but finally good enough to actually use it (auto-attack). Water trident is a neat buff, I always liked this skill but felt a bit underperforming.

I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Sure, the buffs are nice, but they’re rather small and won’t have enough impact to make scepter freah air viable. The damage will still be lacking, while the survability might be better due to other things being nerfed. For fresh air to be viable, there would have to be pretty big buffs, not just minor tweaks on a few skills. Shatterstone again is rather ridiculous.
