Guild Wars 2

A few months ago, they made it so that an elementalist could command the elemental to use their special move, a large improvement to a largely useless(still is a lackluster and bland) elite. However, a large issue that I find extremely annoying is the amount of time it takes for your elemental to use its special ability after you have pressed the button to do so. A good example is the water elemental. The heal on it is extremely strong, however there is almost always a good 5 second delay between when you press the button and when the heal actually comes out. Another good example is the air elemental. Because it takes a good few seconds for the stun to come out, it is largely useless for interrupting enemy attacks. Could we please get something similar to ranger pets where when the special ability button is pressed, the elemental cancels all other move sequences and then has the special move cast relatively quickly? Also could we have it so that the fire/water/earth elementals don’t need targets to cast their moves? Aka instead of the water elemental heal being bound to an attack, it simply casts an PBAOE heal?

1 you can’t aim it
2 you can’t time it
3 you need to cast it instead of insta-command
4 Its not worthy of being called elite.

FGS was also nerfed into oblivion, now it’s just an escaping tool.

But tornado has a lightning field now! How amazing! Much elite! Very power! So buff.

Seriously Anet, give us proper elites.

Tornado is just ridiculous in many ways. It’s a suicide button in WvW and PvP. I still don’t get it either why the hell we are going into a Tornado state, would be much better – as already suggested here in the forum – to transform this joke of an elite into sth which gives the chance to select an area and cast this skill there. The additional stability is also ridiculous, doesn’t justify this bad elite.

FGS was killed in many ways. Don’t know if that improved anything – the new meta is frostbow 5 – frostbow 4 – frostbow 3. Still stacking everywhere and killing a boss just takes a little longer then before FGS’s death.

New elites would be awesome, but are something we will probably not get in nearer or further future.

Just give as the possibility of a 4th utility slot already.
