Q:
Will Temptest change d/d Ele significant?
I have a feeling d/d ele is mostly dead in at lest wvw and maybe pve. So tempest should be talking over for melee mages.
Guild : OBEY (The Legacy) I call it Obay , TLC (WvW) , UNIV (other)
Server : FA
In it’s current state? No. Maybe after some patches untill HoT or after people kitten and whine on forums for a couple of years.
The tempest line does not bring much unless you want to use
- shouts
- warhorn
- overloads
shouts are currently okay-ish. It depends on teamplay and group composition if they are useful. Using Warhorn did not feel as smooth as offhand dagger or focus – let aside the fact that you wont be running D/D then . Overloads currently do not fit the fast rotation style of D/D ele and rarely do more damage than dagger air/fire autoattacks. As there are no real traits that have some functions outside of the uses mentioned before, I dont think this will be useful for D/D.
By the way: “Will Temp t est change …” – was that spelling mistake intentional? because “Temp-Test” is probably a quite fitting nickname for that spec
