Guild Wars 2

Not everyone studies the nerfs that have been happening to Ele. I take months off at a time, so I miss patch notes. There are many in these forums that do not realize how much the nerfs have really hit the class. Let us help educate them. Let us find the old videos that show some old tooltips or actual combat numbers. Let us not waste their time, so give the time in the video to skip to. I ran across this yesterday. It showed the old Arcane spells damage 150% more than it is now.

Vid 1 – S/D, nice direct damage
- time 3:10 for Water Line 25 trait, serious?
- time 5:35 for Arcane Wave, holy cow
- time 6:45 to see the rotation

Vid 2 – S/D, remember when your dps was boss
- all 11m, for your viewing pleasure

Not quite sure what you were after here. You mean just arcane wave stealth nerfed or everything?

I don’t say they definetly have not nerfed something on ele. But firstly the arcane tooltips have always been off, as they didn’t use correct weapon damage and such. I remember something that the tooltip used to show around the 150% damage cos it always crits. Anyway not sure about the arcane as I said.

But if you say the weapon skills have been nerfed? If you can name a skill that you think has been nerfed, it’s simple to just compare the coefficients now and beta for weapon skills to determine it.

EDIT: went and did the same kitten, arcane wave did the same 1.3k as he did on dummie.

Did you use the same build? He did not use high power. I know that Arcane Wave tooltip shows between 500 and 750 on my Ele depending on Power points. Did you notice what his tooltip read at his low Power? Oh, and I remember a lot of nerfs – constant nerfs. Little things were taken. Remove a condition effect. Lower a condition effect. Lower direct damage. Outright negate traits. It’s bad all over.

I want to see every nerf that wrecked a build at some point. People should post links and give times like I did.

You are not making sense :P. Whats wrong? You mean the nerfs? Yea bummer we hate em too. I tought you were talking about something hidden stealth nerfs. And I don’t see such between that video and current, around same build same power.

Sometimes people get so focused on where they are going that they forget where they started. Other times focusing on small things hides the whole picture. I think its time to look at the whole picture’s pieces.

This was before they broke the class, I remember!
