With celestial gone eles won’t have any real defense anymore (healing and protection both rely on having defensive stats) – and the last time eles were really able to use berzerker specs was at the start of the game, when Ride the Lightning still had 16 seconds cooldown.

Undo the whole “double the cooldown if it doesn’t hit (or if they dodge, block, invul…)” mechanic, it’s way past time for Ride the Lightning to be a usable skill again.

They probably won’t, if ele is unviable they’ll probably makes some other change but I don’t know why they don’t consider reverting previous nerfs. Its like they think if they do it that they’re admitting they were wrong.

Probably.

That post on reddit hit the nail on the head to.

ANet’s: Buff > QQ > Nerf > Buff > QQ > Nerf > Buff > QQ > Nerf > etc.

And there seems to be a growing opinion that ANet should pull their finger out and just separate PvP and PvE skills.

A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”

Because eles still don’t have rediculous mobility/disengage potential without the current ride the lightning. They need MORE.

All eles ever want: more. More boons, more condi’s, more cleanses, more heals, more regeneration, more damage sources, more damage mitigation, more might stacks, more kanya west.

The current meta Tempest is probably the least mobile thing in PvP.

You want more?

You got ranger staff Ancestral Grace, a 15 second cooldown, a targeted leap, evades attacks, heals nearby allies AND is a blast finisher.

Ride the Lightning deals damage and goes on a 20 second cooldown IF you are lucky, dodge, block or blind will trigger the 40 second cooldown.

You want MORE?

Executioner’s Scythe is a targeted stun on a 30 second cooldown, leaves an ice field that lasts for 5 seconds plus deals more damage the lower health the target has.

Tainted Shackles deals no damage for 3 seconds, then immobilizes and inflicts torment, you can also dodge/break the binding, all on a 45 freaking second cooldown. Wanna know something funny? Torment will NOT be doing the damage on movement bonus if it hits because of immobilize.

YOU WANT MORE?!

Necromancer focus has the same abilities as necromancer traits.

Seriously.

You can equip traits that does the EXACT effects of necromancer focus. With the only exception of applying regeneration to allies, which for a necro, is absolutely worthless.


The power creep is nothing short of insane, powerful skills no longer have long cooldowns. Which is a shame, it means ArenaNet is failing hard to keep balance in control.

Now we got diamond skin that will remove a condition every second. We went from Cleansing Ire 3 conditions removed too OP, to balancing with removing a condition every second. Every. Second.

ArenaNet: wat iz powercreep lulz
