lol. that video is still funny, and still true. look at all those useless sigils they worked so hard on trying to make good. and moving stun breakers from useful things to put them on useless skills because changing things is what gets developers paid faster than fixing them. note that they didn’t need fixing or changing. ele skills were never imbalanced imo. the only thing that did massive damage was meteor shower into tornado. that was gutted, meanwhile a rifle warrior can still do those numbers easily.
Lets breakdown the Lol-factor changes over the years (you can look up the links on your own): Glyph of Elemental Power as a stun breaker, the inability to heal in mist form, ride the lightning range nerf, ride the lightning requiring a target for short cd, ride the lightning no-longer lets you cross gaps (you sperg rapidly downward and smash your keyboard), every remaining amulet choice in spvp, the warhorn LOL, that change to air one in scepter that let us aoe 5 with it that lasted about a month before it was stealth nerfed, the cumulative ramp-up number on scepter air 1 making it feel like you’re doing huge damage when you’re basically doing the first hit of what any other damage class does, immob in vapor form GG.
Staff is the only weapon they haven’t destroyed.
D/F is the go to surivability in WvW and Spvp. There are no other choices.
Here are some completely unnecessary buffs: making ether renewal a cantrip (ok so you can now get the old cd of the skill by specing into cantrips when cantrips suck compared to shouts with trooper runes).
I only play ele so I know all of the trash they keep doing to this class, all the while buffing the kitten out of warriors since the dawn of time.
