Well. So, Powerr, are you still thinking you can win most builds on 1v1?
I don’t think you can win with normal hammer warrior on node. Tempest defence is nothing with them. I know you are so good. but still.
for now, i think ele can’t role anything but burst from out side of node. and thief can role it much better. also power necro will do much better if node fights.

you guys making pvp of this game for conquest rule mainly, right?
so what point on ele on current meta?

PS.
when do you fix meteor+tornade bug?

Its not a bug, its a feature.
Thats why we get nerfed, so eles stop using S/X and go for staff tornado glass so warriors have a easier time eating us.

Thing that should be changed (in my opinion):

  • We got based almost lowest stats (buff AP)
  • Attument changes
  • Change Attument cd to 10s
  • Change Atumment cd by trait points (example 30 earth 30%-? cooldown reduce on earth attument)
    *I beg u Anet. Stop buffing brainless/OP builds (passives, ai) like PU/Phantasm mesmer
    *Lower condition dmg still its too high for our AP.

Attunement CD’s need to come down to 5 seconds if we really want a class that actually has a core mechanic on-par with what all theo ther classes have. 3 seconds with 30 Arcana, and something to stop attunement boons from stacking when switching is spammed.
Ele abilities have long cooldowns so there is no excuse to tack-on further long cooldowns, it just breaks the flow of combat.

I mean look at Engineers, they can switch kits with 1 sec CD and all kit abilities have VERY short cooldowns (max 20 secs). They can basically do everything that Ele’s can do in terms of being extremely versatile with offense & defense, and they have zero downsides. Switching kits also gives them perma-swiftness and 50% vigor uptime with ADEPT traits.

Mostly agree with you, but they don’t have so uber “features” (call it like you want guys, but if you believe this was intended, you are delusional) like we have (meteor + tornado; Fiery rush – FGS).
So we were hammered by extra CDs during the beta, and even more hammered when these “features” were discovered and when ppl actually begun to play Eles with nice skill, taking advantage of our sadly broken mechanic, because balancing a trivial class like a warrior is impossible against complex class like Ele is, that’s the main problem here and the reason why we are basically the PvP weaklings now…. It’s because our class had almost no limits to skillful players, but the easy to play classes have much less room to promote player skill, and also much bigger playerbase -> whining/crying that we are OP. Now you see the result of this..

Edit: Also, Engis are now in worse position regarding perma-vigor than Eles, they have to take two traits to have similar effect as we do (perma-vigor on crit), but the have swiftness with it too.
Switching kits in combat to get 50% vigor uptime seems contraproductive to me, I guess it’s better to just take the master trait in tools (critdmg traitline)

Why is anybody still posting here?

Devs don’t care, and it’s impossible to keep up with any train of thought.
