These two builds have been OP since beta, yet we still haven’t seen enough* nerfs to them. (there was the one nerf when we fixed elementalist talents and took away their spam blast finisher.)
They both do way too much damage and completely dominate the meta.
I have no idea why arenanet thought it was okay to give these two super defensive weapon sets with ridiculous gap manipulation such high damage. Ranger damage is supposed to be balanced around scaling with their pets, so normally power builds arent viable, but the longbow is the clear exception. As for elementalist, dont even get me started on how lethal eruption can be! Giving ele this over powered opportunity to hit with perfectly hybrid condi / power damage is ridiculous! Nobody is prepared to survive both types of pressure from a more focused source, they all specialize rock paper scissors and just accept that one of those two offense types will defeat them, so this mix is unstoppable in the meta.
Fellows brothers and sisters Eles, have you ever imagined that one day we,Staff Eles will shine on the OPness stage? Imagine no more because today, it has came true. Let us override with joy, let us honour today as the day Staff Eles will be reborn anew, let us celebrate until the world end

It’s a troll post…
If eruption is OP, what does that make churning earth? ._.
