Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
Returning Ele
In WvW roaming old D/D in celestial is still doable. In PvP it´s outperformed by D/F tempest. We have powercreep here and not cele amulet. A D/D ele gets killed in seconds with it´s low HP.
Can´t say for PvE. Many use D/WH now or classic staff.
I also returned recently. In pvp the class has been completely destroyed (that’s why I had left anyway), only bunker is viable and it’s boooooooring.
Overall the best years of the class are gone, staff in WvW isn’t as rewarding as it used to be. Meteor has been nerfed multiple times (now there is a big circle everyone dodge out of, and meteornado is gone, every other skills from other classes have been buffed), fire trait and water traits have been nerfed, and everyone else hits harder with less delay on skill cast. Even worse, they can cast in an instant from stealth condi-bombs that do more damage than an ice spike on a slow animation and long cooldown.
Basically the class got completely kittened.
