Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure how the bugs are getting worse without patches, but it’s really starting to get to me. It didn’t use to be so bad, but now I’m having to deal with multiple bugs every run I do. I constantly can’t move after using any of my mobility skills, lightning flash doesn’t break stun when I teleport, churning earth freezes mid animation and never casts forcing me to flash to start moving again, I randomly start moving like I’m snared with no conditions and no enemies, magnetic grasp and RTL take me past the target, and the list goes on and on. It is just truly ridiculous that not only are none of the ele bugs being fixed, they are somehow getting more numerous and more frequent despite there not even being any patches.

Please, if any devs stumble upon this forum, please, consider fixing elementalist bugs.

I support this post wholeheartedly. The bugs are getting worse and ruining my experience. I’m constantly frustrated, especially in WvWvW when I fared better if the bugs didn’t get in my. Hell, as fun as this profession is, I’m losing interest and starting to play a mesmer.

I, too, am begging the developers to TRY and FIX the bugs.

dagger earth 3…… I cant tell you how much I CC myself for 3 seconds with this skill. I think I’m just gonna stop using it all together which sucks because having an immobilize is so good. Nothing funner than fighting a GC thief and then stunning yourself for 3 seconds while he kills you with 2 heartseekers.

Also the RTL making you stop running when it ends.. very annoying.

I don’t get the over shooting like some others but Ive watched it happen in WvW to alot of people.

Looks like some of us are back to square one only using RTL for escapes again

yep im having trouble with the exact same skills. also fire 5 misses alot. and skills like lightning whip dont do damage against objects for example centaur weapon racks or treb’s in sPvP.

Ride the lightning, magnetic grasp and fire grab should be top priority

What’s wrong with fire grab?

I haven’t done any sort of PvP with my ele yet (waiting till 80) but I don’t recall ever missing much with Fire Grab. Maybe because people assume it auto-targets your enemy when in reality it’s a directional burst much like the fire breath.

Yea i feel the same. They really need to stop adding stuff and fix the skills i know some of the other classes have the same problem. and the dumb right click dose not help.

Welcome to playing an elementalist, where we get nerfed, become more broken and never be fixed…..

Agreed, these bugs are really annoying but I’m not expecting to be fixed any time soon as the devs seem more interested in other classes.

I hope everyone realizes that this whole “woe is me our class is so broken and they’re never fixing it ever because they love <insert class here> more” mentality exists on every single class forum.

You still miss way too often even if target is infront of you.

Also, I have 100% chance to self-lock myself to lupicus with magnetic graps and rtl. They never work there correctly.

Yea..I would prefer magnetic grasp be altered more than fire grab.

I never really even use MG except to give myself fire aura (though in fire ring I’m mostly using earth 4 and 5 for might stacking).

Magnetic grasp and RTL are useless vs Fat enemies …
They need to increase/change/whatever the the mob model or something that u won’t be “obstructed” while trying to travel to the middle of him

They could make MG and RTL act like HS :I

I can tell you that if you live in Australia and try to use Fire Grab on anything that is moving you will miss 90% of the time due to lag. I even miss Fire Grab on immobilized targets that are just about to get out of immobilize, as far as I can tell they are Imob to me but free to them and have started moving so I miss. Some anti lag would be nice here, but would prob bugger up you Americans.

RTL I go past my target alot, quite annoying when defending on a large point, such as graveyard and trying to close the gap to someone on the other side but miss and end up not moving out of the ring.

MG I have found self stuns you in 2 situations, 1 the target model is physically larger then the hit box, such as the Mad King, any large mob and svanir or the chieftain. This puts you in the pull animation for full duration if cast at point blank and slightly lesser the further you are away. The second situation is lag I think, I use it on a foe who to me is above a level (e.g. someone standing above the ramp to downstairs in the clock tower and I’m on the point) but to them they must be down the ramp. As the skill hits my character is sent into a left right repetitively ninja run for 3-5 seconds.

They could have HS act like MG or Burning Speed. This way, HS wouldn’t be as cheap as it is.

This. My Ele has been literally unplayable since they changed the implementation of RTL.

I’ve reported this bug twice now, the first time being ~4 weeks ago and still nothing, no fix nor even acknowledgement of the problem.

My experience with Fire Grab is that if the target’s not in front of you when you start casting it, it won’t hit even if you move.

I agree with the rest of this thread in its entirety.

The not being able to move after using mobility skills is the one I am really frustrated with at the moment! Its % is increasing for sure.

I have teleport on a thumb button on my mouse. I’ll spam it to get out of cc and it won’t work. I don’t really get that. Is the game just really slow when playing an ele?
Yesterday I was playing around with a staff and I had to spam every ability because they wouldn’t go off on keypress or release.

I totally agree with everything in this post..this is just too much

I randomly start moving like I’m snared with no conditions and no enemies

And i thought i have problems with my keyboard..wow this is sick, so bugged

Im thinking i will stop play this game for a while..im so dissapointed in Anet, they are like bunch of amateurs. They cant do one thing without screwing up 2 another things

try rerolling engineer → return to ele knowing other classes are more broken due to bugs than your own → whynne

Giving this a bump as I just had to log off because I’m getting the bug where rtl/magnetic grasp shoot me way past the target every time again. Impossible to play like this.

I really just don’t understand why anet is doing absolutely nothing to fix the bugs. How many years is it going to take before they care enough about their game to fix gamebreaking bugs.

Maybe they’ll get around to it after they finish introducing new bu—I mean, content.

Not to mention lightning whip missing 50% of the time, and 100% if you are moving, same for fire grab.

RTL and and Magnetic Grasp are consistently overshooting my target, making it difficult (if not impossible) to perform a follow up move that actually hits the target…

Magnetic Grasp is also back to acting like a self root when you use it at anything less than full range…

Man this is so true I would have won like more than 50 if firegrab didn’t miss. Also magnetic gasm in clocktower leaves you unnable to move for like 2 seconds fire cone an water two misses sometimes too

Also experiencing the bugs mentioned here. They should be fixed and our class’ damage balanced and mechanics adjusted. Feels like I’m playing on some private server.

Wait guys nerfing AoE and bunker spec is top priority, bug fixes later :P

Time for another bump. Been months and zero bug fixes. I’m still dying to bugs every single time I play this game. Seriously anet, get off your kitten and fix some bugs.

Lol, none of the bugs of the OP happen to me. Only today I had an overshooting of RTL in 100 hours of ele gameplay. That’s not that much but 100 hours of D/D should have exposed some bugs, which it didn’t.
