Guild Wars 2

Anet really needs to address this.

Ahahahahah. Comedy.

This is neither true or funny.

If you want a funny GW2 video this one takes the cake.

i though it was funny and half true. if your a noob ele do this haha

Ahahaha!
So true!

When are you going to post the warrior flavour?

I understand it’s more complicate because you have not two but THREE buttons to learn so the mastering curve might not be at everybody’s grasp anymore. But still…

It’s funny how this happens in virtually every class based MMO ever.

Remember World of Roguecraft?

I lol’d

A little overstated, for comedic effect, but the part about not having to set up combos or hope someone doesn’t move rings true.

This needs to be stickied lol

I often lurk in the elementalist forums but I just have to reply and bump this.

I haven’t tried playing a thief yet but I hope this isn’t true.

FUNNY nonetheless

Lol awesome game design right there.

Rofl that exploit had me crying from laughing so hard. Thanks for making my morning.
:)

Rofl that’s really funny

+10

Oh god the toaster and cat keybindings got me good, nice vid.

Its funny how easy it is on thief to burst down players when on Ele you have to work so hard for less dps and less survivability.

lol how pathetic…

You just won the interwebz!

That is funny, thanks for the link.
I really hope they buff ele soon, I have been playing less waiting for them to fix it so I can enjoy the game more.

But still the thieves says that we only cry and their class is balanced. This is a really a good example…
But, if thieves continue “abusing” their “power” they suffer nerfs and nerfs… Bad but fair.

If I ever die after summoning Dragon Tooths, flame shields, rolling back and forward spreading flame walls, creating huge eruptions and breathtaking blasts of wind, switching attunments like a mad bunny….

I will know why. There, somewhere is someone more skilled:
2! 2! 2 again! like a boss!

I keep hoping that as I level and get better gear, I will become more powerful… It hasn’t happened. I actually seem to do less damage the higher I get fighting mobs my level. It is very discouraging… I think I may roll an alt just to try and like this game again.

On a side note, played Ele in Beta and they were awesome, so wtf happened between beta’s and launch, we got a major nerf bat?

Well, while im an elementalist,i foundt it funny…

Burning Speed takes so much effort to keep a target within ~600 range in order to deliver the PBAOE in order to begin our burst damage otherwise it’s useless. If a target runs too close, or too far, or snares you, you’re done unless you blow your lifeline and use the root that’s meant to save you life in order to even begin to open up.

Heartseeker… does all the targeting for you and delivers the same amount of burst that I have to cycle from Burning Speed → Ring of Fire → Arcane Wave → Arcane Blast → Fire Grab (and hope it lands instead of missing).

I’m not even going to bother to ask for damage buffs. For god sakes, fix the quality of life with Elementalist’s abilities. We shouldn’t have to go through this much trouble and throw away our utilities meant to get us out of bad jams just to deliver burst damage other classes can do with one single button.

lol, i do like the random trait points and not even bothering with the 10/20 point skills at all.

It is quite shocking to see how easy certain classes can be played and still get kills (like your num 2, num 2, num 2 etc).

Awesome. If we eles practice and practice our attunements maybe one day we could do what that thief did with his #2 button.

But hey we have combo fields! I’m sure giving people regen for four seconds will make all the difference.

Anet really needs to address this.

I play all the classes, I played around 250 hour of GW2 and I’m 100% agree with the op : )
Anet, a fix maybe??

Awesome video! I’m loving my god mode thief.

elchulo, we play the same game, so we all have an OP thief : D Just some of us wanna get a little balance for ele and play with here as well , )

Rather sad, yes. I don’t do any sPvP, but I run into the same problem in WvW all the time especially against thieves. The amount of damage they can deal is just stupid, not to mention often they can kill me while they are stealth (and loading players from stealth in WvW takes several seconds more), and there is entirely nothing I can do about it, even with half my gear being power/vit/toughness based.

Either classes like the thief need a massive nerf, or the elementalist needs fixing. Or more likely, both, since our current traits are… well, simply broken by design in my opinion, and that’s excluding actual bugs.

haha brilliant!

Although I have to say us Ele`s are OP, as can be witnessed anywhere in Tyria….

So i’ve been playing my ele so wrong….
The thief build for elementalist is the correct one
thanks for sharing

That was good stuff, especially binding the 1 key to the toaster! I’ve played a thief and an ele in WvW, and it’s really amazing how easy it is to kill stuff with HS or PW as a Thief.

i don’t have a toaster, will a grill suffice?

Come up with some original material please. This joke has been done to death in every game.

Surely you mean “done to Ele`”? ;p

Nope has to be a toaster… did you even pay attention to the video?

:D

freaking double post

Really funny video, even though I disagree with the implicit premise of it.

I see so many people using this exploit and ANet has does nothing about it.

Omg dude you opened my eyes, I have been doing it wrong for all these weeks!

Seriously funny as kitten

Made me laugh, thanks for the entertaining video =)

Thx, I knew there HAD to be some trick to be useful in PvP ….

One question, can we also use this trick in PvE ?

Bump for funny ^^

This has got to be a joke thread…right?!?

…or are people really just this bad at attunement swapping?

GW2 is NOT like your typical MMO. You CAN’T expect to 1-2-3-4 to victory. Get better at YOUR class, and learn BOTH the mechanics AND the skills of OTHER classes. So you know what to look out for, and how to adapt accordingly.

Can you tell me which attunement I should switch to to get elites actually worth using?

Which attunement for a downed state that isn’t a free stomp?

WRONG! Elementalists Rogue build can expect to 2-2-2-2 to victory! Did you even watch the video?

L2P issue on your side mate.

Man that’s funny!

#1: HS is nerfed. Read that carefully. I know it’s a hard concept to understand.

#2: You can kill anyone if you 2v1, 3v1, 4v1 someone…and vise versa.

#3: Only bad players die to HS spamming bad thieves.

#4: Learn to play an elementalist better.

Why you no watch video? ^_°

Lmfao, that was hilarious, even if it was quite untrue.

For the sake of pointing it out, Heartseeker was nerfed on the 14th of September. Also, the Thief has the second lowest health pool in the game, only slightly above Elementalist, which when combined with medium armour, makes them one of the squishiest classes in the game.

…because I saw the starting clips of him dying as an elementalist, and realized that any class would die in the situations he died in.
