Guild Wars 2

So I was wondering why Elixir X is not used more in PvP? I used it in Solo Queue for about 10 games and it wasn’t that bad. It’s issue tend to be more that it’s only good for fighting on point. If you are fighting a ranged class, 4 on the brute is about the only option. Then again, supply crate has a similar issue.

The brute is the better of the two. Every skill is useful. With a HGH, Runes of Strength build and a crit of 50% means you can aoe the point with sigils of air/fire. I was able to hold the point against 2 melee classes easily. If you trait the right way, the cooldown is about 1 min which is faster than supply crate.

I get that the RNG for the tornado is a bit worse but the perm blind you can do will help mitigate damage. However if you have 4 people on you, you’re going to melt just like any other time.

My play style is very simple and straight forward, potions+bombs and now the elites gives me enough rotation. With enough might, the offensive power of the brute is just too good not to use. Even if you won’t get it all the time. I just don’t see going back to crate only for the stun and turrets. I feel like using Elixir X’s utilities are much more active than the passive crate.

Simply because you can’t get the proper transform that you need.

It’s not going to be overly useful until something changes about how each form is accessed.. like:

75% health threshold and below for Rampage, and above 75% health threshold to start a decap in Tornado.

Or a modified engineer-unique transform.

It’s too unpredictable. It’s difficult to use a skill well when you don’t know what the skill is going to do. Besides, the Supply Crate is much better.
