A lot of people cited Meteor Shower as why Ele is OP. As in “Ele top PvE/WvW DPS”.

They used it as a way to justify Ele nerfs, and prevent Ele buffs, like “Ele is still the top pick for PvE/WvW”

We should nerf Meteor Shower, so that there is no more reason to justify Ele OP. After that, wait a year, and ANet will fix the rest of the useless skills.

Unfortunately I will have to…not disagree but rather add some nuance. Whether or not it is nerfed won’t change anything. Typical arguments people have used to justify ele nerfs and prevent ele buffs include but are not limited to.

1) They do a bit of everything (Note, Rev, guard, and now ranger do a bit of everything if you don’t count engi.)
2) BUT THEY HAVE 20 skills -

yeah but lets look at staff. Fire has good skills all around but I find it hard to think that Air 2 and 4 are anything but things you won’t use for the first and a short term swiftness application. Water 2 does damage but it is lower than either air or fire, water 4 is a chill field. And earth 3 is magnetic aura and 5 is a shockwave thing that isn’t all that useful.

Skills on staff that aren’t glorified buffs and somewhat usable as CC or damage…5 on fire, 2 on water, 2 on air, 1 on earth (eruption).
Mainhand dagger has Lightning whip, burning speed, water 3(blast finisher). The others are very situational and honestly not all that useful outside of PvP.
Offhand focus has air 4 and 5 and earth 4 and 5, as well as water 5 ish.
Warhorn has fire 5, air 4 and 5, and water 4-5.

In all honesty the amount of decently powerful skills on each weapon very closely matches what other classes have with 2 weapon sets for swap.

3) But other classes were bad for xx years – Well I hate to be the one to say this but saying that ele now needs to be worse or not get buffs simply because other classes had a time when Anet didn’t know what to do with them seems to come from a very biased and revenge-minded position. Ideally Anet should know what to do with each class and in realistic situations each class should have something to offer to the group whether it be PvP or PvE. As it stands they don’t.

4) Ele is still good, stop complaining. – As if debate or healthy discussion wasn’t allowed. This is silly.

So as much as I would be fine with nerfing meteor shower if it meant we got decent buffs to skills that are otherwise meh I know for a fact that nerfing it won’t do anything. Anet has people on the team that actively have biases against Ele as shown with the balance stream when icebow was nerfed. I don’t have any problem with the nerf itself as people still used it on staff…however they showed themselves to be unprofessional by stating how excited they were for nerfs to icebow (which got posted on reddit) and of course doing a Mic drop (but not actually dropping the mic) on the stream. Any professional wouldn’t do that in other gaming companies. They would explain why and try their best not to show any biases.

They are in a crappy place pvp wise, why not keep kicking them while they’re down? How about get your head out of your kitten and stop calling for nerfs and instead buff other classes. Anerf has left a sour taste in my mouth- no wonder why gw2 has the most complaining player base because you can’t recognize when other things need a buff or tweaking, instead you call nerf. So sick of this player base

The first reply got it. You don’t get it. Now switch off your fire attunement and stop putting Lavafont on your head; I can see smoke coming off there. A lot.

I suggest renaming the skill to meteor kittens. "You drop kittens that damage your allies and make your opponents wii fit instructors for life. I support this skill.
