Guild Wars 2

I truly give up now. I’m not gonna repeat myself for the 4th time.

Raptured.9307:

I run the bunker build for the same reason that everyone else runs it. Alright, so you’re saying the only reason people run dapheonix’s build is that they can’t dodge. Otherwise if they were better they can do all that dps while being just as survivable AND support if they were just good.

Same reason why tons of tears were shed in warriors forum after food (!) nerf. Apparently they can’t play full zerker anymore in dungeons other than cof1.

I seriously don’t get why you guys need to argue abour things in so many posts. If someone’s claiming something you disagree with, just post a video where you nullify those claims. Simple as that.

i read a post once at www.killtenrats.com (although I can’t find it, I want to give them credit for the idea) that discussed the difference between the way a game works and the way we want it to work. We have an conceptual idea of what our profession is and how we want to play him. The developers on the other hand really put a monkey wrench in things because the class can play an entirely different way entirely.

As an extreme example, if my character can fart and blow the hinges off a gate 2500 units away, that is there for the player to use. But, many players will not use that because 1) they play a beautiful girl and we all know girls don’t fart 2) It must be a mistake, no one can fart like that 3) my character is for support, not dps.

I struggle with this with the elementalist. Anet has in writing that this class can do dps but is a superb support class. They say support will always be the primary purpose of the class. We all know support classes do support, not dps!!!!! We have pictures of what the support class looks like. The picture has high vitality, high healing, high stuff for party members. Truthfully, it rankles the mind to think someone took the high vitality part out (as one example) and built a viable dps build that can survive. It’s not supposed to work that way.

Actuallly I am a bit jealous. I need 17,000+ vitality to stay alive in a dungeon, WvW, soloing or duoing champs, mulitple mobs. etc. However, if you can fart like that, my hat is off to you. Have fun.

Ele excels in support role (similiar to guardian) but they fare rather well in dps department. Problem is, it’s harder to survive with glass cannon setup as ele than it is as guardian/warrior.

I have around 12.8k hp in pve and somehow I manage to retain my bloodlust stacks throughout whole dungeon with d/d, s/d and lightning hammer.
