Guild Wars 2

town clothes are so out of the way that no one cares about them… unlike elites, which are a key that you can press in combat to get whats supposed to be a powerful effect.

town clothes look terrible.

Yes, but they’re a MUCH more interesting topic of conversation that another ‘nerf’ thread.

make a topic in the appropriate place then instead of derailing this one … ?

NERF TOWNCLOTHES!

Best scouting skill in the game. Don’t nerf it.

Promote the usage of it. A permastealth thief with this elite is an uncatchable scout and they don’t have to give up any other useful elite. It makes me sad my thief is sylvari.

Game needs more decent scouts, don’t steal their tools.

i use that form alot then i need to get away. im playing a norm guardian and its the only skill i have to get away and if i dont have that then buff guard skill so i can be more mobile
and 2 the elite skill is so bad on the guard in wvwvw u got a skill to reset the f1 f2 f3 and its bugget it say that u cant be hit for like the 2 sec u use it but u can still be pull and push
and then u got all the book spells that have no use in 1 vs 1

The norn bear is the best thing ever.

I think the real problem is not that the Norn Elite is OP — as others have mentioned, taking it often gimps their offensive capabilities. The problem is the asymmetry in rewards. If the Norn beats you, he stakes you and gets badges/loot or simply the satisfaction of having staked you. If you beat the Norn, he escapes at the last moment using his elite. This asymmetry makes people unhappy.

In my opinion, this is the same problem with thieves. They win: they get loot/satisfaction from staking you/teabagging rights. You win: they stealth and run away. Whether they are OP is actually a different problem!

You can add Eles because they can mistform through a portal while down.

(I must be REALLY evil. I’ve got a Thief, an Ele. and a Norn Guardian)

If it’s any consolation, nowadays I only play the Guardian and I don’t equip the racial – it just ain’t that useful.

Hi, I’m a baddie.

The very few Norns using Lepard Elite is those with extremely sucky profession Elite skills. Give a serious look at Norn racials before calling for a nerf.

Or they can chose to use an actual Elite skill in order to win the fight?

Yes. They will absolutely tornado/mortar you to death.
Okay, let’s be fair. They will drop a crate on you… Or run away with their Greatsword instead of the leopard haha.

So basically the fix to uttersucks elite is to nerf racials right?

Only 1600? Feels to me like 3000 or something :P
