Guild Wars 2

I come on here and see post after post of how weak Ele is, then I see videos of eles soloing entire zergs and coming out on top. Now some of you will probably say “that’s in WvW and players are underlevered there”, to that I say true, but not everyone is underleveled and undergeared. Also I ask you, can absolutely every class pull off this feat?

First of all other classes rarely need to build into full defense/heal. Just look at thief’s damage AND survivability in damage spec for example – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm2jh9oO0qo

Other classes likely could but here’s the thing, they’ve never had to learn how to do it because they’re used to ezmode. That’s what makes an Ele so fantastic and fun to play, it’s also what makes it so frustrating to play too!

For future reference our bunker builds are likely going to be nerfed though.

Impressive, but I noticed he generally had to pull and single out his targets (which makes sense considering he’s a thief). The vids of Eles I saw generally had generally stayed closer to the main group, taking them all at once with AoEs while dodging around them, and periodically gaining some distance with RtL before diving back in.

When Anet will nerf our only viable spec (at least in PvP), elementalist can be deleted :/. I don’t even say IF, because it’s more likely WHEN. And of course without fixing/buffing other skills, like it was before.

Just watch video from middle, there are many fights 1v3. And now just imagine, what will be if this thief will build into bunker?

Id like to see those videos so feel free to link em.

As for underlvled.. it does matter. I went vs 4 people as a bunker ele and they couldnt kill me. Later in 1vs1 a thief downed me in 5s flat without me having any chance at all.
