Predict what will come next
Whole bunch of speculation there. Given that we just got a series of buffs I would say those are probably just the start. Anets first pass at rebalancing the class after the long series of mega nerfs. I think they realize that they obviously overnerfed the heck out of the class and are having that “oh crap” moment. Overall I think Anet has proven that they totally suck at class balance.
Whole bunch of speculation there.
Speculation is the whole point of this topic, as the topic title implies.
I predict that…
1. D/D Buff
2. Bunker Nerf
3. HP Buff
4. Elite Buff
5. S/D Buff
6. Focus Buff
7. Staff Buff
8. Trait Line Buff
D/D has already had a nice buff, I’m not sure if they’ll go any further with that aside from fixing some of the bugs within this weapon set.
Imo what needs to hapkitten quite clear. At least regarding pvp.
Our bunker builds need to be nerfed. If I spec full bunker even against 2 good players, I won’t die, ever. Unless I royally screw up. I won’t be killing them either, it’s just a game of who “gives up” first.
I’m a scepter/dagger player mostly, so I might be biased in saying that’s our weapon combo that needs the most help – especially in the damage department.
Flame tooth will not hit anyone, and in the off chance that it does, it provides pathetic damage vs the difficulty of actually landing it.
Phoenix falls into the “awesome” department due to the cleansing it provides, however it can only be used as a melee range spell due to how slow it travels (and again, quite subpar damage compared to other classes)
And I could go on and on – with the obvious culprit being the low damage.
Elementalists need to have their survivability reduced in full tank specs and at the same time they need to have their survivability increased in full offensive specs.
Not only that the damage in our full tank specs should be slightly increased to acompany the survivability nerf, and the damage in our full offensive specs needs to be massively increased, for it to be worth taking.
