I ‘m having some serious problems dealing with rangers and engineers while using a d/d set on my ele, I believe the reason for that is how bugged are the gap closer skills on d/d and let’s not forget about Shocking Aura and Frost Armour which don’t work against ranged enemies.
I can somehow manage against mele enemies, but rangers and engineer got far too many : snare-knock back , to get close to them
Maybe Anet want every weapon set for eles to work differently from the other, but as a mechanic we cannot swtich weapon set like a warrior, so while using d/d we become quite vulnerable to range attacks.
My suggestions are:
1) Frost Armour should chill ranged enemies also, not only those at close range
2) Add a reflect effect to shocking aura
3) Fix the bugged Ride the lightning
4) Buff magnetic grasp as right now, it’s very weak and uselesss as gap closer, because 8 times out of 10 it will miss
