No shout and still d/w.

Mem no Fushia.7604:

No scepter and one shout.

Wait why would scepter (a dmg aimed wepon) get play in spvp when its not really used on ele who is more dmg aimed then tempest? As for shouts i am not sure why ppl don’t use them even eye of the storm has a use over say cleansing fire or other stun brake ability.

Shouts, about them; one person took that burn apply shout just to take it, randomly using if even using.

Second person who took shout took elite one and even if he would come with idea for what skill save it, hardly was ever using it and if use I can’t take if it was for something important, it looked more like; I use elite so next skill should be carefully picked -but- there come amnesia and he is using the just next skill w/o minding that. Imo it just show how meaningless choice it is. He tried imbue wharhorn air skills or warhorn earth 4. If I remember he tried do it for amor of earth but it is instant cast so he casted armor of earth before shout was full casted.

PS. If there is somebody with beta and will play, try geomance tranining + rebound + obsidian flesh. Make few run with focus off hand. Maybe eye of storm and shock aftershock. I would like to hear some opinions how its working.

Honestly the fire shout is the only good one, mostly because it has a reasonable cooldown with 20 seconds. 50 seconds for an aoe cripple that MAYBE gives aoe immob (just count from when you’re crippled and you’ll easily dodge the immob)? Way too much when signet of earth is what, 25 seconds? Also, eye of the storm 45 seconds? Signet of air is 25 and does basically the same thing, maybe even better because of the blind. Eye of the storm doesn’t even give an aura what the kitten…

Frost shout seems super weak with again a long cooldown.

And of course the elite shout is a disgrace. “We heared you loud and clear that ele’s elite skills are lacking. So we gave you an elite that makes other classes’ elites better! Brilliant!”

See i would think earth or eye of the storm shouts are the best though i play more team minded and wvw. These 2 shouts should see a lot of play in big pvp fights being able to aoe root ppl and being able to stun brake for your team like that will be game changers for a fight.

But you’ll never land the aoe root against competent people with it’s obvious audio tell and clear indication when the immob while happen. Audio shout + aoe cripple, wait X amount of time, dodge/block/whatever the immob.

I can see the utility of the aoe stun break, but even then the shout should really give shocking aura to make it worth something for yourself too. Maybe don’t give the shocking aura for aoe, just yourself (though magnetic aura is aoe too).

There is no way that an AOE stunbreak (no stab) on a 45 second CD is going to contribute enough to your team that it’d be worth taking over another utility.

People would rant about shocking aura.

Maybe aegis or resitance or stability.
