Guild Wars 2

Before I start I just like to state the fact that I like my ele. I do very well in WvW and pvp. This is not a we need buffs to skill thread.

The problem with eles is that you are either hero or you are zero. It is extremely unfriendly to new players. There isn’t a nice progression . If you don’t have the right build right gear and the skill to manage all the skills in all the attuments you are most likely the easiest thing to kill. On the other hand the ones who played the class a lot, who tried all the builds and found what they like (mostly bunker build of one kind or another) become god like in WvW and more than hold their own in pvp.

We need to make the class a bit more friendly to new players , if not we’ll end up having the smallest player base and that = lowest on the ladder to have anything done to the class. Things like bug fixes .

I personally feel that what we need is synergy in our traits. I just finish helping my friend decide on builds for his mesmer and omg mesmer trais are so awesome. Everything has synergy with several weapons and their class mechanic. Some times it was really hard to pick traits because they sound realy good. All their skills have 2 or 3 effects at the same time. Offense and denfence all in one skill or trait. For ele only water and arcane has some synergy. Idk how it is for other classes but if they’re not like mesmers then they should be.
