why can't we have nice things :(.
Because forum posters don’t know how to appreciate the good things the ele still posseses. The negativity aspect only gets emphasize. Finally, us eles are still op.

ele are not OP, but this balance patch did improve some traits that needed to be improve. It is just too bad they decided to not improve other areas as well.
also it is easier to whine than to appreciate. Players want their classes to be OP and when they don’t get it, it means failure.

This is an mmo forum, if someone isn’t whining chances are the game is dead.

>> The Signet buffs are nice across the board.
>> The Glyph changes are a first step and reward active use of skills. Sadly they did not take a second step and reduced and tweaked some recharge times on them e.g. with making “Quick Glyphs” have a recharge reduction from 20% to 25% and also reducing cool down and duration of GoEP to encourage more active skill use and make it viable as a stun breaker.
>> The trait changes are a great improvement for Contingency and Rod. Ashes has to be checked in game because of possible internal cool downs.
>> The nerf on Meteornado and FGS#4 was lingering for a long time and is fine. What could have been done better is giving us a bit more as a trade off, like (again, rewarding active skill use) reducing the recharge on Tornado to 120 (and Whirpool too which ATM has 30 secs longer cool down) and non FGS to 150. They allowed the “exploit” of these skills for a very long time, that’s why I think a little buffing is OK, because those huge damage spikes did not appear out of nowhere after a recent patch.
>> Not OK is the nerf to Burning Speed/Retreat which is a by-product of the FGS#4 nerf. They have to work on that, because it randomly reduces the damage of skills not connected to the skill that was balanced.

Ele is the only class with an elite now that has a huge heal attached (looks like its 15-20s CD) that can now be CONTROLLED. That means you will get the heal at least 2, maybe 3 times during the life of the elemental. On-demand stun from air can replace a stun-break if it works while you are cc’d. Fire burst can now be set-up and timed with your cc’s/immobs.
THIS change to the ele glyph is really absolutely AMAZING. I don’t think you guys are appreciating it enough just how much this increases the power of the skill.

yes sadly the elemental will die the second it spawns because it has like 10k hp, no armor and is melee. We dont need more heal because we already have ether renewel and several healing skills on weapons and traits but they might nerf these to make us dependend on pets
The Ele is OP.
Fairly sure the OP is ele, yeah?

Absolutely, it’s the most versatile profession that excels in all areas of this game. It shines way more than any other profession. Along with experienced skillful players it makes this profession very op.

which makes it a pain to balance and i dont know why they try to “balance” it even more when it was in a fine state for a moment. FGS is okay but it should have been buffed along with the nerf since skill 5 and skill 2 are awful. Tornado was really uncalled for and just removes the chance of it seeing any play in a competetiv enviroment.
what’s wrong with 2 and 5 ._.
