Frankly i m so depressed that i’ll post it here i really don t want even to lose my time for this…if i am right…
traits
Earth’s Embrace : start at around 25-30% HP insted of 50%
Final Shielding: start at 10% instead of 25%
or did they nerf them to match BASE HP of a nude character?
Because final shielding at 1000 HP (usually it starts when i have <100 HP or don t start at all because i m dead) and the other at <3000 are so useful….
They were vital to my playstyle but now are useless……as my ele without them.
Good Job
if i am wrong well i ’ll ask forgiveness later -.- but i tested it and if i am right well i cannot play my ele until fix and i don t want to change playstyle considering i alreqady changed so many times due to nerfs and bugs…..
P.S: and please don t tell me your build because i don t see the point in having choices if all but 1 are not working/unviable.

A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
i noticed i was dying like crazy…..and then i noticed…..
So i tried it on 2 moas (1 at a time obviously ….after all i use an elementalist) i have something like 14000 HP (i was infact trying to get some mats for my exotic my current armor is bad) ….
At 7000 no armor….at 5100 no armor….at about 3900 armor popped out….
So i killed the moa (with help >.>) took of the trait and tested the other…
Well arcane shield went out at about 1000 HP….
Then i tried to play…with both traits as always….
same result aside the fact i often died without final shielding or it triggered at about 100 HP -.- (this because normal mobs hits harder than moas).
I asked around and seems i am not the only one to notice it.

Just tested Final Shielding on the Mesmer NPC in the Mists (he’s the least bursty with more consistent DPS) and it activated at around 3k of my 15k HP. Seems to be working fine.
Earth’s Embrace activated at roughly 50%, too.
Try testing it on an NPC with consistent DPS as opposed to heavy hitters. If you drop from 50% HP to 10%, then yeah, Final Shielding won’t activate until you’re at 10%.

I tested a MOA (you know that weird looking bird i think slightly less powerful than jormag)……and i can assure at 7000 of >14000 iddn t trigger….it did under 5000
Same for final shielding activating at 1000 or less
dunno what to do but i m not crazy nor are other people in the map i asked (far shiverpeaks).
Unfortunately i have only an armor and i cannot get another to see if its the armor fault or what
I’ll try it again and take screens

Tested it in WvW. At 15,825 health Earth’s Embrace should have been activating at 7912 health, and instead was activating closer to 5000 health. It was not a visual/timing bug, because the mob was able to attack for two or three more hits before it activated. Similarly, Final Shielding was supposed to activate at 3956 health, but was instead activating much later than that.
Tested it in the Mists on the Engineer. 18945 health, Earth’s Embrace should have activated at 9472 health, instead activated at 7284 health. Final Shielding should have gone off at 4736 health, instead went off at 3387 health.
final shielding not activating at 1500 now after 3 minutes cooldown……earth embrace started working sometimes…..seems randomly….
P..S. tested again working as first post again -_- (NB i leave 3 minutes at least to make them recharge..).
