Guild Wars 2

Vash Past.4385:

Anyone who would argue this point should first accept an Auto-attack duel.

This is exactly why so many people have issues with the elementalist. You pick a single aspect you dislike, isolate it, and then dismiss anyone who disagrees as crazy or uninformed.

You cannot look at skills in a vaccuum, because they do not exist in a vaccuum. Any good ele will be spending most of his/her using all the other skills available. Auto attacks are only fillers or, in the case of Stoning, combo parts.

Elementalists aren’t like other professions. They are like thieves. The auto-attacks are filler skills, for when you have nothing else available. What I don’t understand however, is that people ‘get that’ for thieves but somehow cannot accept it for elementalists.

For future discussions, I’d really like to see people taking into account the context when discussing game balance. Because isolation, which may get you to appear very smart at first glance, ultimately doesn’t cut it in a game where skills are grouped up together.

zerker staff works quite well for me, if you use the CC in tandem with a hammer warrior works amazing.
pvp is the most fun when fighting in 2v2’s

I smiled a bit :P

I do agree. There are those aa, use special skill if required classes and those who work vice versa.
