Just curious. I’d like to know when I can pick up my ele again and continue doing world completion without getting annoyed at Anet’s esports balancing every time I switch to lightning attunement. In the meantime I’ve been sticking with my 80s that don’t bring down my mood whenever I log into them. Like Warrior and Guardian, forever the (boring) kings of PvE. Whatever happened to a bigger focus on separating PvE and PvP skills?

It will be reverted in 2133 or when they realise that ele is realy unplayable anymore in pvp and/or wvw, which imo isn’t the case.

(haven’t test in pvp yet after patch, too busy with Molten Front)

Yeah it will be reverted in WvW as well, when Anet realize they broke the class… Which is probably never. I’ll just jump ship to the next big MMO.

Probably months <cough> years down the line, just like how long it took them to revert their error of removing EA.

It’s not a matter of the profession being unplayable. It’s a matter of me signing on to play a profession and the playstyle dramatically changing under me after I put in the effort getting legendaries, ascended, etc etc.

It doesn’t play the way I want my character to play anymore. Not even close.

If they had messed with healing output or something instead, could have lived with that.

Never. I expect more changes on RtL but it won’t be a reverting. Deal with it.

The reason is: if you’re a guy and they gives you tons of money, and big house, cars, platicsurgewey to make you tall, handsome and smart…but they took your mojo (you know what I mean).

They indeed buff ele in many way, but the core of our proudness is gone

i just hope they stop that conjured weapons nonesense…

If i wanted to play a hammer i would have rolled a guardian or warrior and have access to ALL my utility and weapon swap while using it.

GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

^ This. Why invest time, money & manpower into that conjured weapons crap when there’s other issues at hand that are so much more important and urgent to fix? I mean, it’s common sense already stuff like conjures don’t work in an only even remotely competitive environment. It’s been this way in pretty much each and every game implementing such things. It’s kinda cool and fun to toy around with. In PvE. For a while. Then it gets boring and you go back to a real build.

Concerning the RTL disaster: Just stick with the now fixed 1200 range and revert the CD back down to 15s. That’s really all that should have ever been done to this skill. If devs really can’t overcome their hate for elementalists, then for gods sake, stick with the 20s cooldown. But that 40s BS is unbearable and turned a profession that was picked by players for its roaming ability into a profession that just isn’t able to roam properly. As I said before, this wasn’t a balance change, but a drastic change in concept and design of an entire class, and has to be reverted.

There is only one god, and his name is Death.
And there is only one thing we say to Death: ‘Not today’.

oh but they fixed spirit watch….its all they cared about..

Good fix would be dealing with the root of the issue I.E. those silly pvp modes…
Not destroying WWW/PvE classes

Maybe in 2 months or never. It is likely they wont change it back but we can always hope.

It didnt take them long to revert the change to thieves stealth when the had revealed at 4 secs. which wasnt that bad. I could still permastealth if need be, just took better timing and actually had to pay attention. But they saw that as being too exteme of a change to thieves that crippled the profession. Yet doubling the cooldown of rtl, reducing its range, and nerfing mistfom wasn’t crippling? I just don’t get their logic. I guess it’s because thief is one of their pet classes. If we had a dev who actually mained ele maybe we could get some somewhat intelligent changes to the profession.

You know you could try to stick together with your fellow ele’s and ask for just an un-nerf, instead of an un-nerf just for you.
