Guild Wars 2

Well… Things have changed, with HoT I am using way more my Engi but my main used to be my Ele.

Sooooo… is there a ‘meta’ out there? I want to take a look at it and challenge it so our Ele’s can live in glory once more.

The first thing I felt obligated to do was transform my Beautiful Celestial Equipment just because no one gave a chance to do the Raids. Sooo bye bye Celestial armor.

The good thing is that I am using my Scepter more… although I HATE the animations. But whatever, Staff is ugly too and I have learned to look past that.

Now I am using my time to do what I did when GW2 came out; figure out who my Ele is and how It can become powerful enough to compete in every area of the game.

Let’s work together Eles!!! (^_^)//

Eng always been the jack of all trades ele never was a full jack of all trades it lacked good conditions and stealth. Ele never had the that many of the strong boons too.

I remember how powerful Eles was. Engis are just living the glory days ele had. But I want to focus on making Eles awesome again and nerfing other classes wont mean that your personal favorite will become better by default.

Also, the only thing anet needs to fix is how healing works in the game. because the only reason engis got lots of sustain is because no matter how much healing power you got, a healing blast will heal over 50%, and engis got a lot of healing fields and blast abilities, so they just focus on Toughness, Power and Condi.

So this is a good question eng vs ele for jack of all trades the problem with ele as a class is that its very much locked into its game play base off of its main wepon chose. Staff is the all in ranged control scepter is the mid ranged burst and dagger in the close ranged dps. The off hands add a different effect dagger being the all in dmg with aoe cc and foces being the single target cc or snip cc with aoe def. Eng to a point is locked in this but becuse of its kits it can comply brake free and be a true jack of all trades where ele at best has its conjurer wepon that have very limited effects / time they can be out.

So what ele needs is to have more build in “evasion” (low cd blinks more super speed or stealth) and condtions (having more then just burns and bleeds at the only real dot effects) or make its conjurer weapons longer lasting or on shorter cd. That or comply kill the ideal of ele being balanced arone the ideal of being a jack of all trades class something that kills most of its dmg healing def and boon support tools (the % that added armor effects the power of these effect mostly ele has some of the worst power + to effects and healing power +).
