Guild Wars 2

I was just wondering what is everyone’s opinion on elementalists in pvp. (wvw and spvp)
OP,UP, or balanced just curious on other peoples takes.

Oh, the old gray mare, she ain’t what she used to be…

Lots of effort, far less reward than other classes who can do better with 1 – 2 buttons.

Arenanet developers seems to think differently than the majority of the feedback in here. I’m really interested in seeing what explanations they have in keeping Elementalists in the current state they are in both in PVP and PVE.

it seems like the elementalists numbers just dont add up anywhere near to other classes. Maybe were all using the wrong build XD

I love it, but it would be nice to have a number of buggy abilities fixed…

On it’s own? It’s quite playable, very challenging/rewarding, and you’ll pay dearly for even the smaller mistakes (even in simple PvE).

When compared to a couple other classes that I’ve played? We’re patheticly UP.

I like it , its definitely the most complex class to play and the rest are very forgiving when it comes to making mistakes, i cant spend more than 10 seconds in a atunement or im dead, it doesn’t really have the ease of going full burst spec and just stealthing away. Yeh khash it does feel like the other classes do have much better burst damage the beta damage for ele was very nice maybe it was just a bit of overkill with the nerf.

Also the healing abilities for ele seem really weak all my other classes skill 6 seem to do much more.

I am having amazing fun running around solo in WvW with a bursty D/D. Insane mobility and hilarious burst, Mist Form stomps erryday.

Elementalists do have issues and I’m sure a Thief would do much better at the kind of solo WvW stuff I do, but it’s not really an issue to me. I enjoy the class as a whole and I’m sure ArenaNet will eventually come around to bring the various classes in line.

Very straight-forward build (copy-paste): http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fEAQJAoYhImkblRygjDAhHEwQCiCPUeMDO1A;TIADKmFA

I just started playing ele in PvP today after playing Warrior, Engineer, Guardian, and Thief but always getting bored, and I’m having a blast.

I decided to start with the build I saw on a Team Paradigm stream (scepter/dagger). It doesn’t do amazing burst damage or anything, but I find it does really well in 1v1 situations. On top of that, at least in pubs, I’m really hard to catch/kill, despite not being all that tanky. The mobility is really nice, as well.

It doesn’t really matter to me how underpowered people seem to think we are. I’m having fun and I’m not so weak that I can’t contribute (I think I contribute quite a bit). So unless you’re planning on min/maxing your teams for tournaments, I doubt the weakness, if even true, will matter for most people that just like to pub.

Best class in WvW, worst class in sPvP.

You zerg alot eh?
