This isnt helping our case. They already want to nerf meteorshower because all the bads who get caught in it and die due to their own stupidity and ineptitude are crying and kicking their feet for the weakest class in the game to get even more nerfs.
weakest? in terms of survivability thats debateable… lot of escape with LF + mist forms, armor of earth, FGS mobility…plenty of cleansing in water and traits + cleansing fires… plenty of dodge with essentially perma vigor (just need 10 in arcana)
in terms of damage? lol eles pump out serious numbers, not even debateble here, they are absolutely fine in terms of damage.
they are weak in condi i’ll give you that, but you dont really need condi when you are dropping 10k meteors easily.
please quit whining , ele is absolutely in an OK place (although I personally wouldnt mind a bump in a little bit of HP :P)
I do content across the board in every aspect of this game with my ele… my other classes not so much…
while i think that ele is actually not that bad as people describe them
@ skitz, u got no idea, one cc and ele is dead unless he has some def gear, 1 cc and few hits, (only 2-3 by a thief) and ur dead. the evasion isnt gonna help u at all if u r cced, lightning flash doesnt stunbreak so it just saves u for 1-2 seconds

mistform, armor of earth, diamond skin, cleansing fire… signets also have stun break
for god sakes if you get feared/immob immediately, switch to water and break it?
you got no idea if you seriously believe ONE cc will kill ele…
yea sure it will, if you don’t get rid of it! just like one immob can kill anyone if they don’t bother to clear it…
Eles have great condi cleansing options, i dont understand how you can say ONE CC will kill ele when they have plenty of options to clear it…
If you don’t want to run stun breakers, that’s you’re problem, but I love running armor of earth + mistform + lightning signet for stun break and blinding on short CD
u rly think a staf ele takes all that crap? and diamond skin is last earth trait wich DOES NOT have anything to do w cc
the only stunbreak staff eles take is mistofrm or rarely armour of earth.
switching to water clears condis if u r traited, doesnt remove the cc. , cleansing fire is condi once again, no1 runs signet coz they only sux
pls inform urself before posting here.
you do pretty much have to run cantrips…its there for a reason (survivability)
if you want to go all out YOLO cannon build and not bother with stun breakers, then ofc you are going to get destroyed by 1-2 stuns…
show many how many classes can run these glassy builds and SURVIVE multiple stuns? even warriors/guardians that go that route of full glass will get trucked if they dont take stun breakers with them…

most staff eles run lightning flash, mist form, arcan blast for the blast finisher
u wont see many staff eles with more than 1 stunbreak(mist form)

To each their own I guess… when I run staff, its because I’m usually in a group and love to play a more support role…theres no need for me to bring arcane blast since theres others in my group that can do blast finishers… I don’t know how people run without armor of earth + mist form… its like required for me imo in any pvp/wvw setting
