Guild Wars 2

Been playing with necromancer and my god is the flesh golem elite so much better than our elementals, because YOU CAN ACTUALLY CONTROL IT. Can’t count how many times I have escaped or sealed a kill with its active knockdown command, and every time it makes me hate our elementals that much more. It would bring so much more strategy to a fight if I could actually control when my ice elemental knocks foes back and heals. Maybe they would have to tone down the damage/heal numbers a bit on fire/ice, but it really boggles my mind why our skill gets such lazy treatment compared to theirs.

Additionally, why do our elementals die after a set amount of time while flesh golem stays forever until it is killed, and with a MUCH lower cooldown (60 seconds versus 180 seconds)? Never have to worry about timing when summoning golem, unlike our stingy elementals.

Speaking of necro elites that blow ours out of the water… plague form. It’s like tornado form but good. But that’s for another thread.

It would be a nice addition to control one of their abilities, I agree. Elementalists control the elements, so why not be able to control one skill of the summoned elemental, be it the lesser or the elite version, rightfully calling yourself elementalist. If you can summon and force it to fight for you, you might as well be a pokémon trainer and shout an ability command.

you do realize elemental are so much stronger than Flesh golem right? also you can chose the elemental that you want for the situation that you want, and it brings a lot more in fights.

Elemental actually play a roles in fights. flesh golems, exept than when its using charge. it just deals moderate dmg before dying to AoE.

and tornado can be nice on situations… its just dumb that it instant procs confussion soo many times for no reason >.> instant kill..

And it doesn’t proc healing signet more then once …. double standard?

Edit: if I recall correctly the healing signet disappears when in elite, so disregard my last.
