Also for those bagging Lava Tomb, it is the best staff zerker trait we have.

You do realize that saying this, that the best trait in an entire line is one that functions when DOWNED, shows just how sorry a state the Ele is in right?

Well yeah, that was the entire point. I guess I was too subtle.

If inflicting Burning refreshed Earth Attunement, then we would finally have a viable Condition build. At least for DPS.

Burning Precision – this needs a rework. Change it to 30% chance on HIT to inflict a 2 second burn. 4 second cooldown. Unlinking it from precision is vital, so Elementalists can use Dire gear and this trait.

Blasting Staff is basically required for Staff. And Sceptre still fails to deliver a viable condition build, like all Ele weapons.

If you know Soothing Wave is ‘100% useless’, THEN FIX IT! Fix every single useless trait ASAP. No one cares if you ‘change too much’ if you are actually bloody fixing the useless traits!

Everyone is also correct, in that Arcane 10 points will be rubbish unless you are using a staff. The sceptre and dagger traits are horrendous, right up there with Soothing Wave, Flame Barrier, Zephyr’s Speed and Arcane Precision.

You should not take smooth penguin seriously, btw. He is either a really dedicated troll, or is married to the Anet founder’s daughter.

As for the topic, yes, they need to kill the RNG precursors. And you cannot say ‘you choose to grind wah wah’ when absolutely everything is a grind.

I want to play these mystical Elementalists some people here seem to have in their games…

As for warriors, they have highest armour + health, stability, condition cleansing, mobility, crowd control and super healing.

Stop pretending, kids.

So… you find PvP to be very relaxing and want it to be even moreso?

Eles have plenty of damage mitigation and self healing. Have you tried hitting your keyboard instead of mashing the 1 key?

Rubbish is the word to describe PvP. Or imbalanced. Not intense.

‘Plenty of damage mitigation and self healing’….well, that shows you have no clue what an elementalist even is.

“What game are you playing? Eles have damage mitagation?”

Elementalist with auras traited correctly with signets have full up time on protection …amongst other benefits.

They also have a completely unviable build.

Thieves have many different forms of evasion, blind, and repositions – that’s why their health is low.

Guardians/Elementalists have access to many, many different skills with protection or block or regen – that’s why their health is low.

Uh, yes, I get that. It doesn’t change anything. The difference in utility does not fully compensate for the difference in defense. Due to that, warriors (and guardians because much of their defense is passively generated) have much higher skill floors than Thieves and Elementalists. The former two are dramatically easier to steamroll through content with than the latter two are because they can just stand there and tank everything.

I’m not saying that Thieves and Elementalists should be able to do it as well as they can, I’m just saying the gap should be smaller.

Again, you will have to take some pretty big nerfs more than likely for any HP increases. So be careful what you wish for.

Warriors have for all intents and purposes no access to protection, little access to vigor, and 1(?) blind. Their heal skill, HP pool, and possibly adrenal, is all that keeps them alive.

Yes, warriors do not have condition cleanses, heavy armour, stability, the greatest mobility, zillions of heals, and a plethora of crowd control.

Stop lying to yourself, buddy.

Guardians having a lower health pool makes their heals give “more bang for their buck” because they have a lot of small heals, which means they heal for a large® % of total health than if you were to have a higher health pool, like 20k. Additionally, Guardians have a lot of damage mitigation through blocks, reflects, blinds, regeneration, AoE healing, etc.

Elementalist have a lot of damage mitigation through the use of Cantrips and also a lot of mobility through the use of utility and weapon skills.

Thieves have access to blinds, stealth, projectile destruction.

This is not including the fact that all of these (and others) have access to stuns and dazes.

Sure, there’s a gap, but it isn’t a gamebreaking gap. If it didn’t exist, I’m quite sure the PvP would be a lot less intense, especially if the high health users were brought down.

What game are you playing? Eles have damage mitagation? PvP is intense?

Agreed. An 8k base HP gap is ridiculous.

Trick-or-Treat bag farming 100+ per hour.

Posted by: Avatara.1042

8g an hour is over estimating.

The only money I’d be making from champ farming is the coin from boxes as I need everything else. I salvage all blues & greens for luck, salvage all rare and exotics for ecto/DM and need all materials for crafting + saving for legendary.

So at the end, I barely make much money from champ farming.

Thank for you this. It explains a lot, especially about Ride the Lightning (1.75 second aftercast on top of the massive Oceanic rubberbanding = useless).

Oh and you can cast Healing Rain while moving now. Might want to update it.

Give it a memory feature as well, so I do not lose my search when I click on different categories.

That’s how it was working at release and for a few months after that. Then one patch made the search page reset every time you went to another tab and came back. I hated that change.

Was it an intentional change?

Warriors spamming banners to revive Lord

in WvW

Posted by: Avatara.1042

Avatara.1042

Thats fine, take away a ELITE that makes the warrior good, leave us with Rampage. Ill be fine with this as long as they nerf every other class’es elite skill also. Why single out warrior when most classes have a insta res but just dont use it because theyd rather just let the warrior do the work?

Guardian: Signet of Mercy
Necro: Has a signet that revives allies (lord)
Ele: Has a signet that revives allies (lord)

I dont wish to go on but just because Warriors are in charge of ressing, doesnt mean we should single them out because then you would just see 50 ele’s ressing. It would shift to the next easiest class. How about finding a solution rather than “nerf war pls”

Ahahahahaha….

Any Servers without Queues?

Avatara.1042

There’s very little attrition in the EU leagues. It also has a very compressed time of play. NA tends to be more spread out around the clock., including multiple time zones within NA itself.

Many of the top GvG guild went to silver league to avoid the queues, but that movement attracted a lot of players in addition, that’s why there’s queues in silver league as well.

That makes sense.

SoS has no queues. Join us.

It is quite funny that people claim that ArenaNet doesn’t have a clue, while they themselves clearly don’t understand what a League is…

It is quite obvious that you are the clueless one. You have zero concept of fairness, and think that just facing each other once equates to balance.

Don’t bother. In his eyes, ANet does no wrong.

It does seem that way.

Fair draws?
Isn’t the whole point of the League that everyone is supposed to meet everyone?

Fair means everyone gets equal treatment (or as close as you can get with 7 weeks of matches).

You did not even attempt to give fair draws AND you did not even attempt to balance out red/blue/green starting positions. Was the 10 minutes it would take too much for you?

For example, JQQ has an easier draw and is green all seven weeks.

Pink Dye

Posted by: Avatara.1042

Avatara.1042

Secondly, I don’t understand the mentality of people like you who would ever find it “shameful” that someone would make money on a video game dye. Why, because it is a color that is used to signify support of breast cancer awareness? Yeah, shame on those crazy people……

Yup, and you probably never will. GG

Our society has become one in which everyone has now been trained subconsciously to shame each other so we all feel bad about ourselves and succumb to what ever the flavor of the day minority (or majority) opinion happens to be. What do you think this whole political correctness movement over the last 10 years has been all about?

You may find the pink dye situation shameful even though it was more likely an issue of supply being used up long before demand could catch up and not an issue of people just profiteering. However, you and all others who wish to shame everyone else for whatever you don’t like is disgusting in it’s own right and the real issue with topics like this. So, GG to you sir.

If you cannot distinguish exploiting something like breast cancers awareness from what a “flavor of the day” opinion might be, then that says it all and then some.

It’s the same mentality that has been created for people to adopt, it doesn’t matter what the topic happens to be. So, I can’t distinguish what you are talking about, because it doesn’t exist.

But, I guess, enough about this. This isn’t even the proper venue to discuss such things.

You have the empathy of a rock.
