Guild Wars 2

Well here is their description of the Elementalist straight off their website for the Professions page:

“Elementalists are multi-faceted spellcasters that channel elemental forces, making fire, air, earth, and water do their bidding. What they lack in physical toughness, they make up in versatility and the ability to inflict massive damage in a single attack.”

… dat single attack. /10char

(sigh)

I play a D/D Elementalist and do a lot of WvW…I really hate to reply to this thread with “learn to play” but well…learn to play?

My elementalist has always been great in WvW. And now that RTL and magnetic grasp actually work, she is amazing. I have NEVER played another class with anywhere near the CC, escapabiliity, mobility, survivability, and boon spamming potential as an Ele has. I very rarely lose 1v1 fights (even against burst thieves), and I even win most 1v2 fights.

So when I see the constant, constant whining on these forums, I just don’t know what to say. You guys are obviously doing something wrong. If you want advice, please ask me, I will be happy to help. But I’m telling you right now, that the class, as it is today can be amazing with the right spec/playstyle.

Whenever a patch has Ele changes included I come back to this thread and read it. Along with the official description of Elementalists, “Elementalists are multi-faceted spellcasters that channel elemental forces, making fire, air, earth, and water do their bidding. What they lack in physical toughness, they make up in versatility and the ability to inflict massive damage in a single attack.”

“Elementalists are single-faceted spellcasters that channel arcane and water into their dual daggers. What they lack in damage, they make up in condition removal and the ability to run away very fast every 20 seconds”

Fixed the description for ya.
