Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, i wanted to say that i been playing wvw with my engineer and my elixir s rarely works.

Same with my guard’s 0 skill – that ultimate with makes you invulnerable for 3 seconds and refreshes virtues.

Basically i pop an invulnerability and people do so much massive damage i go on down state about 50% or i just die.

Seems invulnerabilities are bugged.

It doesnt stop condi damage. Elixir S is kitten in WvW because it will get you killed unless its only power builds you fight.

Doesn’t cleanse existing condis.

If specced for it, it will cleanse one due t the fact its still an elixir.

Well chances are you have 6-8 condis on you so it doesnt really help now, does it?

Which is why traiting it is a bad idea. It’s still a great option as a skill.

I’m sorry if this is rude, but how in frell’s name does being ****blocked from casting anything actually useful for four seconds help? Even untraited, the skill is a liability. Unless you’ve got buddies around that can cleanse 6-8 condis off of you lickity-split, you’re done and your death warrant is signed and stamped thanks to Elixir S stopping you from doing anything to help yourself.

well it’s not condis killing me. I died to 50 players auto attacking me 1 and i take too much damage even while invulnerable to physical. I think it’s lag or something.

Same with guardians ultimate skill. I use it and i still get killed.

There are times when i pop elixir s and i straight die, no down or anything. Seems pretty buggy i think.

I think you mean elixir s triggering when you are low. If that so yes that happens sometimes. I think it happens when you get bursted down way too quickly, eventhough someone hit you when you are 25% it still does not proc the passive sometimes.

For one, it’s a great way to get through chokes in WvW.

Fair point. I’ll concede you that.

Its literally impossible for 50 people to auto attack you without giving you tons of condi as well. All those guards will cause burning and the other half of the zerg probably cause bleeding.

It’s pretty much due to lag. I once had Elixir S last 8 whole seconds during a laggy WvW fight while our guild driver on guardian was in Renewed Focus for 8 seconds too. Sometimes the lag works in your favor and other times not.

I think you are exaggerating the downside of the skill. Yes there are times when you can get wrecked by condies already applied to you, but thats usually if you’ve used the active Elixir S at the wrong time or you’re getting trained and RNG doesn’t go in your favour for the auto Elixir S proc. That said purge gyro can still clear your condies while you’re invuln (i.e. no new condies can be applied), incoming healing still works (regen, rapid regeneration, bunker down bandages, etc plus external healing sources) and it lasts long enough that your likely gonna have a dodge roll available when the invuln ends.

My suggestions to you:
• Know that if you’re blobbing in WvW its not a good fit for engie; play something else
• For smaller scale WvW and PvP, work at making better choices of when to pop the active
