Guild Wars 2

After taking a long break from gaming and coming back to play this weekend – I have just one question – “can we once and for all just get this class fixed”? The same problems plague this class now were around over a year ago. The “glass cannon” concept stinks, especially when everyone else is pretty much a cannon too.

I like the complexity of the class, and don’t mind the “work 2x as hard for the same result” part as much as I hate the “glass” cannon part. If it’s this easy to die, the damage output/rotation should be much easier – or – if complexity is what we’re going for, then there absolutely needs to be more mobility / escapes / survivability.

Instead we get the worst of both worlds. Stance dancing complexity mixed with no armor – equaling 2x the complexity with 1/2 the survivability compared to other classes. And yes, I’ve tried various spec builds, various weapons, from D/D to specter to staff, from fire to earth to arcane, and everything in between.

I play mostly on the weekends and some week nights, and I can’t throw away all the map exploration / other achievements and start all over with another class. I would love to try a mesmer or guardian but I just don’t have the time. I’m all in 100% with my elementalist or bust.

It’s time for us to be a useful class.
