Guild Wars 2

Hello guys

i think more than 80% of players dont like tempest .. so do u think anet will remake the tempest ? is there a chance ?
cuz i really dont like the idea of it and that elite it just ewww

Hello.

Tempest is decent for support at the moment, but too weak to consider using. While a complete rework is not probable, expect to see some good changes (hopefully).

changing values, numbers and effects is not a big deal but if it comes to remake whole animations then i don’t think they will.

Well this expansion is a dud for us.

Maybe they’ll fix it. Not too confident however as the base idea of the Tempest just conflicts very hard with the base Elementalist.

Hopefully the next expansion doesn’t come out in another 3 years :/

I think it’s too late, but lets hope they at least redo the elite skill and make the overloads worth using while improving the traits and shouts.

They will move the number and buff / nerf things as needed but your not going to get a compete overhaul on how things work if that what your asking for. Its a bit silly to ask for that much.

Yeah, theres no way they’ll do a complete rework of the elite spec, as all of the skills/traits/animations are in the game. But I do expect them to tweak all of the skills/traits to offer something with more viable gameplay. I think it has potential, but all of that potential is buried under a lack of stability, non-impactful traits, and excessive time related costs to use overlaods.

So many iterations they’ve made yet we’re still stuck with this “elite” spec.

I wonder how the sword spec looked like since they didn’t like it and they love the current tempest.

Rebound should be a 3 seconds reflect and on the third second cause an AOE launch 400 range radius. Now that would be fun and worth using Tempest meh traits.

Faith ? Hope ? Gone long time ago

I’m just going to throw my 2 cents in here…

Warhorn: great (I really loved playing it!) but needs a little buffing to flesh it out. However I think this entire community would be happy if ele got a main hand to go with it, like sword. Because right now scepter is pretty weak and dagger pairs better with focus or offhand dagger.

Overloads: GAWD AWFUL. It’s a mechanic that goes against the base of ele mechanics! we are supposed to be attunment swapping (lets ignore staff meta in pve for the moment). In addition the skill cast time is forever with no way to prevent interruption (aka stablity). It needs a redesign before I would ever use it.

Tempests traits: Because overloads are awful most of the traits are as well sadly.

Tempest skills: elite is nice but its not really worth being in the elite slot, it should be moved to utility. The other utilities are pretty weak unless you are an auramancer so a little buffing would be nice.

If they really cared about the ele community they would scrap overloads in their current state, give us main hand sword and balance tempest trait line around something that can be of more frequent use.

The Tempest shouldn’t really be an Auramancer; it should be like a storm.
We actually already had an Auramancer(Aura on Signet use), but it was destroyed in favor of giving Shouts AoE Auras, which “coincidentally”, the Shouts are all just AoE versions of the Signets with no Passives :L

Yeah I actually just reworded my proposal, trying to have more of an open mind but you beat me to the edit.

I personally think its a bit facetious to think that they deeply care about the “ele community” or any community. The game designers may consider it, but they want to make the game they make with their own ideas, whether or not those ideas are good or bad.

I think the tempest is fine. I’m actually looking forward to using it when it is fully released.

Yes, some traits/skills need to be buffed. But I’m not going to throw my hands up and declare that Anet start over again.
