Guild Wars 2

Only reason I recently made a elementalist was for the Ride the lighting skill and mist from. Now the you fix RTL (understand that… don’t understand the 20 to 40 sec increase). Now you can’t heal in mist from when you are getting hammered. Currently at lvl 24 and that’s my stopping point cause of this nerf. Ele just not fun now. Guess I’ll just delete it. Good job on the other bug fixes.

Be glad it happened to you at level 24 and not at 80 after you got legendaries, full ascended, maxxed out bag space, exploration star, spvp profession title, soulbound cash shop mining pick…

::Points to self:: You must be spying on me good sir…::sighs::

You chose a class for 2 overpowered skills. Then get mad when they eventually get nerfed.

Well played. I suppose this is why I can’t take Elementalists seriously.

Mobility isn’t OP, neither is not dying. The D/D bunker spec was OP because its damage was too high for a bunker (I’m looking at you sigil of battle). That was all that had to be fixed. If they wanted to fix RtL so that it wasn’t a super-spammy escape in pvp, just make it 900 range on 15s cooldown. PvE-ers would be happier (almost as much mobility, but with an actual offensive air ability that could be used in combat reasonably often), while pvp-ers would whine about something else other than RtL out of combat as an oh-crap button. Please note, bunkers will continue to be complained about (and we will keep being nerfed as long as the bunker is viable), because people get upset when they have to fight sustained battles.

Nerf is ok…make useless No

Yeah im pretty bummed out of this nerf. owell like above, better now for me than later. Guess I got lucky. Well better play my ranger or guardian before they get nerfed for no reason.

For no reason? I dunnoe about that, friend. As far as I can tell there are lots of reasons to nerf Elementalist…

And yet these nerfs didn’t really do a whole lot to the nerfworthy aspects of elementalist, while crippling other types of elementalists and making the class a lot less fun to play. Pretty much exactly like the 4s thief revealed nerf last month.

I don’t know man, I’d like to think not being able to heal in Mist Form hurt every elem build…

And the RTL changes make it hard for elem to just cheese out of combat whenever they feel like it.

Sure some build hurts more than the others, but a nerf is a nerf.

showatt.9413:

I thought the general claim made by everyone was that the elem was an invincible bunker with massive in-combat sustainability. Why would he ever need to cheese out of combat….unless the people complaining about the elementalist bunker are lying through their teeths.

Pretty much this.
