Another proposal
The ele will never be as fun as it was when the game was released. As absurd as it may sound, the game was better balanced a few months after the release than it is now.
Yes the Ele had insane aoe damage, but the thief could press 2 keys and kill it. It was just perfect and satisfying to play. Now everything has been flatten and normalized, passive play (conditions) has become the norm, and I left mostly because of that, and also because of many other things done wrong everyone has mentioned.
I think everyone still playing this game have forgotten or never known how good it used to be before.
Basicaly i do use stone heart and refuse cleric amulet. :-).
It works for me and i did not quit. But i did go back to arcane too now and sigh it feels good but subpar to a lot of other builds … Warriors and engis got immortal, mesmers kill me and necros corrupt my boons …. At least i win most of the rest …
Actually I thought little bit more about it.
Default version reset the CD of the Earth Attunement every 60s, If Staff or Off-Hand Dagger equipped reduce the ICD to 5s.
So cancer can’t benefit it

Funny is that I would prefere more to pay to play the game like it was at the start than pay to play a new expansion

I don’t think it’s funny, the gameplay was more tight and visceral. You could heal and summon elites in mist form, Ride the Lightning across the landscape on a 16 second cooldown, damage wasn’t capped like it is now. Ice bow wasn’t useless. Focus could reflect WvW siege. You could meteornado It was WAY more fun.
Sometimes good gameplay is more important than map variety. Look at the success of games like Rocket League, simple but amazing gameplay is just more rewarding.
