Guild Wars 2

for wvw its kinda needed, for ground fighting i tend to use dagger/dagger then change to staff for a siege and its very annoying to have to run way back and wait for aggro to go away

my suggestion would be to allow ele to weapon swap but put a long cool down on it, say 2 min, that way you cant constantly swap

i can live with it IF they limited it based on server populations, you should really only be able to transfer to low population servers

while i wouldn’t be opposed to something like this i can see a few issues

1) what happens to those slots when your guild cant fill them? if they are left empty that only hurts your server while you guild isn’t playing

2) reserved slots doesn’t really give all players on a server an equal chance to play which is unfair

i think a better solution could be to have a party queue which would save room for them when they enter the queue, possibly even give them priority

This is a decision Anet made back in the the BWEs that is having repercussions since release.
1) They decided to reduce the number of servers before release thus increasing the server populations.

to be fair it was a good decision, if you look at the old republic they launched with a lot of servers and that caused some serious population issues with people being to spread out

its better to start off with fewer servers and add as needed

yes please lets nerf the 1 good skill a staff ele has, maybe that will finally push all those noobs to reroll a thief

yep i’ve had that happen quite a few times, you really have to pay attention to whats around and take care not to hit something unwanted

doubt it, most people dont know they exist and those who do know of them are usually the people using them so they come here to deny they exist

actually think it would be good to have some sort of reset if 1 server manages to take over all 4 maps, its not an issue with 24 hour rotation but i can see it being really boring for all sides when it hits 2 weeks

agree 100%, have seen whole guild groups change servers when the tide turns, and i suspect a lot of people are doing this, i see it almost everyday where a server will get pushed back then suddenly they only have like 5 people left then out of nowhere the winning server gets an even bigger boost in numbers

yep it will only get worse, it was really kinda stupid to give unlimited transfers, i can understand if your first or even second pick turned out to be a server you really didnt want but there has to be a line somewhere

i’ve seen a few guilds changing to whatever server happens to be winning

i ended up in another guilds group earlier today and our servers numbers were low so we were slowly getting pushed back, after awhile everyone started saying ok its time to swap over, 30 sec later i saw them on the other side

they really need to have like a 24-48 hour cool down for changing servers for changing servers as i’ve seen this a few times

Corpse run is from wow, pretty much when you died you would respawn as a ghost and have to run back to your corpse

dagger/dagger is by far the best for pve and small pvp imo, really only use staff when you need some good aoe

that said your better off rerolling because as it is ele just suck compared to every other class

yep i’ve noticed under water damage is pretty low, not sure how it compares to other classes but i assume its crap just like on the ground

haven’t had any fps issues here, might give this a try and see if it somehow boosts me a bit tho

i’d prefer if they just let us swap, very annoying to have to back off and wait for aggro to go away

only used it once and was not impressed

welcome to the life of an ele, get used to it

@Anndy What traits do you go for with Dagger/Dagger. I tried it before but I realised I was taking in way too much damage and not dealing enough to make up for it.

nothing special, actually have everything spread out pretty even atm

i use armor of earth, arcane shield and mist form to tank a bit

usually swap between fire, water and air but started using earth more recently for the bleeds and churning earth does some very high damage but has a long cast time so i tend to use arcane shield while casting it

air and earth also both have knockdowns which help quite a bit

i like dagger/dagger a lot, not much range tho
