JaNordy.6149:

No, old RTL was OP. Anyone that played when game came out knows this.

I feel the need to quote myself again

Sunshine.5014:

Ele was unkillable not because it’s good, but because:

• poison was bugged (yes, it was bugged—you heard it right),
• 15s 1550 range RTL used for running away.
• Immob was not stacking, so uunorganized people don’t know how to chain Immob to stop the ele from running away
• the meta was all about burst (Mesmer/thief/100b warriors) so they don’t have a lot CC to stop the ele from running away
• if they failed a burst, the ele could freely run away and heal to full, then come back. That annoyed a lot of people, so they complained on the forums, and ele was nerfed to the ground, until Celestial shows up in PvP.
• ele glory day was a bunch of videos from daphoenix showing people how to play d/d ele by… running away in wvw. He successfully trolled a lot of people though. Google it. It used to be sticky in the ele forums too.

After the poison fix, Evasive Arcana nerfed, chain immob, CC meta, RTL should be reverted.

And look, we’re not asking for the 15s 1550 range back. We only want 20s 1200 range instead of the blind/block/evade kitten cool down.

RTL had 12s cd when game launched (veterans may remember).

Nerfed some months later to 15s then to 40s(total destruction).
