Give elementalists something other than DPS
Staff ele says “Hi.”

Necro main enters thread, scratches head and leaves.
Auras aren’t just personal, Defiance is leaving soon, Eles are very good healers and it might be a thing soon.
Every class is dps, healer and tank all build in one. Why would you want to separate these roles to specific professions? I like the fact I don’t need other players to heal me or tank for me. I can do everything myself.
Ele’s will function perfectly as support characters, buffers and healers.
If you’d be very quick you would have been able to see conditions were nice as well, but these’ll be nerfed somewhat within 24 hours from posting this post.

As someone who mains a PS warrior, I find this silly.
Eles can give might, murder people, heal people, go invicible, warp away, give other boons, become invincible again, burn the hell out of you, and be the best tanks, all by using a single set of gear, dont tell me PS should be removed or that eles can’t do anything other than DPS.
Also, eles stack more might pre-fight than warriors.
Not to be rude, but you have literally zero idea what youre talking about. Eles can do almost everything. Pretty much the only important things they dont have are stealth and portal, and they do have stealth, but only underwater (im exaggerating a little, but not by much)

Ele is still tier 1 in dungeons, sinister Engi supposedly have higher sustained DPS, but it only works in a longer fight, large AoE bursts from Ele are preferred. I do predict that sinister Engi will become meta though, Mordrems tend to have high armor, so condi damage will be useful in raids if that’s the case.

Its fine that ele’s can’t stay as top dps class forever, but it would be nice if eles had other roles we could fall back on in pve. Defiance negates a focus on CC, Aura’s are personal and has minor effects, and healing is not a thing. Maybe if PS warriors didn’t exist then might stacking could be their thing, but as it is we don’t have a trait that give party might without a ICD.

As an Ele main, what are you talking about? Eles are one of the most versatile classes, with only multi-kit Engineers beating them out. They gently reduced our burning damage a teensy tiny little bit for one weapon set. We’re still versatile, and we still deal a lot of damage.
I main Ele and Necro, though I have an alt of each profession at level 80.

Defiance has needed to go away since it was first brainstormed as an idea… Other than that, we wait for raids and hope it makes other, non DPS centered play styles something other than a pointless amusement.

Is this a joke thread mocking necros? That’s the only reasonable explanation I could come up with…
1. Best DPS in the game
2. Second best healing in the game
3. Super tanky
4. best boon sharing in the game (second best for might)
5. Aura sharing
Ele is literally the best or second best at every single role in the game…

Defiance needs to go away for bosses too.

You can run support in PvE. Staff support is best, but you could be D/D support, too. Nothing stopping you besides a self-imposed restriction to play the “meta” all the time.
Just not any reason to do that outside of high level fractals and maybe if you are skipping sections in TA.

Are you sure you play ele because we have a LOT more than just DPS. A truck load more.

Well if you can equip all 5 traitlines and activate all majors, just like in the ele build you described, you can say the same about warrior. You seem just as clueless as OP.
I can’t wait until ANet releases the game promoted in the manifesto.
Until that, I’ll play GW2.

Tbh, if he didn’t mention the “single set of gear”, I’d agree with him. Eles are very versatile.
