Guild Wars 2

I play my Ele almost only in wvw.

Still staff, still support/CC/combo fielder role, still same build/traits/equip.
Still rolling hard.

Sure, Mist form change is annoying, but it just makes you plan a lil more your moves – use it to run in safe spot for casting heal, instead of stand still and heal while invuln.
Cleansing Water ICD is a bit a bummer, cause limits a bit the condition removal capabilities (esp the aoe/allies one), but the effectiveness of the staff ele as heal/condition cleanser is still unmatched.

D/D has got some bad hits, but i don’t play much that spec.

I’ve played DD for a while, I play beefy hybrid 0/10/0/30/30 with 60% boon duration mostly in WvW.

Combat feels still the same.
Survivability feels still the same (I use signet heal).
Chasing feels still the same.
Escaping feels still quite the same.

Just jumping around and riding the lightning over every fence and low wall has changed.

I just feel bad for the glass cannons though… The mist form and RTL change affects them greatly where as I have not noticed any great differense. I still use mist form to avoid bursts, ress ppl ans stomp ppl and as a panic button (you can still change attunements while in mist form).

It’s just funny how Anet wanted to force ppl out of DD bunker builds and now they force ppl to use it again. And it sucks that RTL still bugs out because of terrain resulting in 40sec cd.

Played ele since the begin.
Haven’t tried PVP, PVE after the patch, too busy with MF (need the freaking jet backpack!!)

Still enjoying the nuke hard with the staff. And also feel strange when I go to mist form to lose the cast.

Also when using D/D I do feel the different of 20sec and 40sec cooldown.

But I suppose eventualy, I’ll adapt… :-/

Ele primary in GW1 since Factions release….. Ele primary in GW2 since BW2….

Yup, luving me some ele. Although, I play staff not daggers.

insert gasps of horror here

Perfectly happy here. =)

Nerf was well-needed. I used to stay >90% hp the whole fight running 20/0/0/20/30. My bunker on the other hand could hold their own in a 3v1, staying near full the whole time. Condis were the only thing that ever touched me and we had enough condi removal to deal with it easily unless it was a full condi necro or engi. Nerf hit our most op abilities: the amount of healing, the condi removal and the ability to disengage and engage fights as we please. As funny as it was to kill people and never take more than 2k damage, it was op. As much as I didn’t like having to change my build and whatever else— it was well needed. People actually have a chance now. I ACTUALLY TAKE DAMAGE NOW! And that’s how it supposed to be.
