Guild Wars 2

I’ve been keeping tabs on the ele, bcs it’s my opinion that it’s the most challenging profession to play, meaning it’s the profession I want to play.

I’ve noticed frequent nerfs to the class. Though the conjure buffs were appreciated.

I have to wonder if being the most challenging class to play is a draw for skilled players. I wonder this, bcs the there is only one logical explanation I have for why the elementalist is constantly underpowered and requires playing near the skill ceiling to operate at the effectiveness of lower skill ceiling professions.

The explanation is quite simple. Ele’s are so much more challenging to play well than other professions that they can only be played by the most skilled players, and these players reach the skill ceiling like they would with any profession and dominate the opposition.

This makes the elementalist look overpowered when it’s not. Any profession would look OP when played by these types of players, but they choose to play the elementalist bcs they enjoy the challenge.

I’m definitely not one of these players, and this explanation I have isn’t necessarily true, but I would love to hear a better explanation.
