Guild Wars 2

Can we please get it back. Revert the nerf and normalize it.

Give it back its Stunbreak properties like the other classes teleports have.

Also thanks for the scepter, i hope itll be good, cuz then ill be a shining beacon of positivity in these forums.

So far everything, but, the vigor nerf seems pretty good unlike some balance patches.
Im not sure how strong engis will be, because i have a feeling they will be kind of broken with all the said buffs. But who knows.

“Remember remember, the “insert date” of “month” the Ride the Lightning treason and plot. I know of no reason why the Ride-The-Lightning treason (and mist form, lightning flash, tornado, fgs, ice bow, etc.) should ever be forgot…"

The elementalist has an history of dramatic nerfs, extremely long cooldowns, and useless elites, yet despite all these handicaps we found ways to prevail.

i would like to have it normalized to 1200 range, like blink and shadowstep

This is reasonable.

Lightning Flash is on my bar 99% of the time. It’s so versatile and strong, even without a Stunbreaker. Would it feel better with a stunbreaker? Sure, but Cantrips are the very last category of utility skills we need buffed.

So salty, need popcorn.

Sure, lets do this lol. “Normalize” makes sense only if it really is normalizing and if they want to normalize they should not have exceptions.

Ride the Lightning using Ele WTB Ancestral Grace.

1200 range, non target specific gap closer on 12 second cooldown. Toss in the 240 radius 5 target 1000+ heal, and compare that to RtL’s stats, devs make baby Eles cry.

Can’t use 6-0 while in Mist Form. #neverforget

running away from thieves and warriors with 1500 range rtl on 15s cooldown. the tears back then were so good…

I don’t mind having 1200 range, and it dealing no damage.

Mesmer’s blink is so much better than ours. Breaks stun, 1200 range, shorter CD

I would also be ok with this as long as it matches Mesmer’s. That is if they truly believe in normalization rather than just using it as an excuse for a change.

No more Words needed;)

Be careful there because what you just said may result in Mesmer nerfs instead

Not that they would have all that much of a harder time getting away in WvW lol. Invis and clones already do that. And Chronomancer likely would make the situation worse.

You would need to take away the dmg effect from it to put it more in line with ground target blinks but 300 more range would not be too bad.

I don’t care about the damage component of lightning flash. I get that the damage component is meant to make it an offensive ability, but I don’t like it. To me, lightning flash has always been a form of escape tool, and having it stunbreak made a lot of sense. I’m still bitter that some random glyph whose effect you would want active before a combat encounter became a stunbreak.

I like my damage on Lighting Flash, lot of kills using it on runnig targets.
But +300 range wold be nice.

I would really like to see something like the Warrior’s “Outrage” as a stunbreaker. We typically can only slot one and it has a 75s base cooldown, making us extremely susceptible to stunlocking for a class which ANet doesn’t want to be a DPS yet takes away our defensive capabilities patch after patch.

Signet of Air would come very close if it had an equally low cooldown.

Why ask for buffs on one of the best utility in the game? It used to be 1200 range, stun break and more than 1 target if I remember well and it was nerfed for a good reason. Save your breath.

I believe you did not fully get a grasp of ANet’s balancing policy yet. ANet seems to like normalizing, yes.. but only if that results in a nerf to elementalists. At the end of the day, they don’t really like to normalize.. they just like to nerf elementalists.
