Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure what else to tell you. Maybe it’s Flame Jet that procs burning across multiple targets and I was incorrect in my thinking. Whatever the case, I see the 650+ number popping up across multiple targets consistently—at the same time occasionally—and what appears to be permanently, if not close to it.

Flame Jet has a 2.25 second channel and not 2.5, btw.

@Oxstar.7643 lol elementalist are better than engineer in every way, exept fun

they have more damage, heals, support, survival , invulnerability, soo much stability, elementals are x1000 better than turrets, their elemental weapons are x1000 better than us giving the team a FT or EG, they usually just pick it up and be like ew.

and the thing that makes them much much better than engineer is, eles don’t get nerfed to the ground every month!!! they have a the phonix but we’re the one who have to keep raising from the ashes every update..

that being said! engineers can beat eles! it all comes to skill of each player at the end!

Conjure Fiery Greatsword is the sole reason I returned to leveling my Elementalist a few weeks ago (mostly because I’m done gearing my Guard and Engi).

It’s funny how people always claim that elementalists are better than engineers in every way.
I beg to disagree, given the past experiences I’ve had. But I don’t know what the world is like now since the patch.

Well, during the last few months special events, my low level Ele (under lvl 20) was side kicked up to 80. It was able to hold it’s own and kill/survive as fast or faster than my 80 Engineer. It was a humbling experience.

Those attunements are just insanely powerful to combo off each other, and the only downside is if the adds keep coming and you are stuck in an attunement you don’t want.

IMO the shared cooldown of the trait is hurting a lot. For instance, you can’t:

- …equip Flamethrower, put down Fire Field, switch to Elixir Gun and use Self Knockback Shot with Glue immobilizing your target inside the two Aoes. This combo would be awesome, but you have to be in Flamethrower for 20 seconds until you can do it.
- …do the same combo as above, just with Toolkit pull and Confusion Smack.
- …rely on Med Kit’s rad Magnetic Aura when using other kits. “Hmm, incoming Unload, my CD should be ready… or not”

Please make these effects work like with the Ele trait Evasive Arcana which gives each attunement a separate CD. Currently, it rather hurts you if you want to use more than one kit with Kit Refinement.

I usually rush the fray with Flame Blast, followed by some Flame Jets. Well into the battle I swap to Elixir Gun trying to immobilize as many as possible. Then Fumigate, a Super Elixir, Acid Bomb for the Retaliation, swap to Rifle, Jump Shot in again, swap to Flame Thrower in the air for a Flame Shield, back to Rifle, Blunderbuss as I land, Overcharged Shot. Repeat.

So you are like an ele, but vastly worse.

This combo is invalid due to CD restrictions. It also claims to activate the glue drop and flame shield in a short period of time, which is absolutely not possible due to the global CD. It also doesn’t appear to have a third utility equipped.
