Guild Wars 2

Lately I’ve been using LF Scepter focus builds for easy dungeons, and it does nothing but kitten me off. Mesmers and Guardians. Oh how I hate them.

“Isn’t fun to spam symbols and reflects and chaos storm, usually on bosses or mobs with no projectiles anyway, so that the ele can’t put his flame wall down in time to stack might”?

That is the story of my life. At least rangers have water fields that are useful. Its just painful to think of all the DPS we waste to get retaliation and chaos armor.

And whats worse is when some idiot warrior takes my hammer. Do they not realize that I need that in order to not have kitten DPS for 30 seconds?

There all better. My frustrations are less now.

elementalists dont rly work that well with pugs, anyway, try not to mightstack after the mesmer used feedback, u cant tell a mesmer not to feedback.

about other ppl taking ur conjures, i always make sure after getting pugs rdy if they first listen to me, can understand my language, then tell them at least 3 times not to take my conjures besides fgs

works mostly out that way

yeah, I just figured they’d have enough sense to leave the hammer alone. Anyway the mesmer problem is in part because flame wall has a cast time while feedback doesn’t so, if we open the fight with those skills the mesmer always uses it first. The guardian symbols are basically spammed too.

I suppose moving to less DPS heavy D/F build might be easier, since I won’t lose the hammer to an idiot or if I’m downed, but still it irks me. And I can’t not play elementalist for pugs. My only other choices are necro and mesmer, and mesmer is completely boring to me in pve, and I find necros to be a terrible class outside of WvW.

My favorite run was a PUG with 3 elementalists in CM. It was all fire fields with 25 might every step of the way.

go d/f on pugs, fresh air, just fgs as conjure…

its more reliable dps for pugs, more defense for when people screw, and you have more constant fire fields and blasts for when people mess up you rotation.

Yeah I guess you’re right

I have to personally learn to be less perfectionist in dungeons too, and to be honest I think I like paying D/F or fire staff better than the hammer builds. I was only running them because they seemed ideal for “easy” content.

When that happens, I blast fields for myself only with the lazy firestaff.

If they wanted mightstacks they’d play better wouldn’t they? :>

Yeah exactly. Its so invigorating when you run through a dungeon in no time with perma 25 might and fury, that its almost like an adrenaline rush. The thing that irks me the most is the mesmers using feedback on bosses that have no projectiles..

Anyway I’m just going to focus on having fun with my playstyle and not becoming supremely agitated when the finesse of the scepter can’t be upheld.

In groups like that, just pre stack the might once, bust out the LH and go to town. After that don’t drop LH to restack the might since it will be pointless with the others laying down the other fields on the boss.
