Guild Wars 2

Hey op hf out there and send me your stuff while you quit kthx.

Ooh i know.

You can RP an elemental ranger!

Icebow and elemental glyphs, switch attunements like A kittenIN MOOD RING WHY DONT YOU.

People these days man.
People these days.

Alrighty let’s do this.

EARTH

And there you go.

Single element builds that work with conjures mostly except for air where you just go d/x or s/x and throw a combo when needed then get the hell back in air.

Super cerial stuff.

Best archer EU.

When that happens, I blast fields for myself only with the lazy firestaff.

If they wanted mightstacks they’d play better wouldn’t they? :>

Found out about SweetFX thank to this thread.

After a 2h run for a lvl 19 fractal i got this letter. http://puu.sh/7Lst2/06a1cf4c97.jpg

The mix of flattery and irony really made me laugh.

Look at all those bold letters someone’s jimmies are seriously rustled.

Staff and renewing stamina along with keeping your distance with lw or staff.
Celestial will make you miss your big numbers but you’ll feel much tankier.

It all comes down to practice and denying to stack when people fail to deploy their projectile eaters properly.

While you’re getting that simplicity implemented, do the same to ele’s staff autos, see how it goes.

Don’t forget to fix archdiviner’s ring of warding unjustified doubletap- one is during the swing animation and the projectiles, issue being its inconsistence, as it might hit both or one part.

ITT; boohoo i missed a lootbag ;__;

True, female human casting meteor shower is the prettiest thing in the game.

Lineage 2, destroyer, frenzy.

Yes,yes go ahead and buff that aspd, then do the same for ele staff, necro staff and every slower weapon in the game.

Fair treatments.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

this is working as intended.
warriors are meant to be fast.
what is the problem?

Oh exploitable.

this is working as intended.
X class is meant to be Y.
what is the problem?

Now to make our own.

this is working as intended.
thieves is meant to be stealthy.
what is the problem?

Join the fun people!

The wanted elementalist that summons tornado-pillars is enough rep for me.

Oh you burnfall.

I’ll be waiting the moment you realize all the truth and justice you preach about on and on is merely subjective.

Till then have fun roleplaying the white knight of the woods.

You ARE aware that noone takes you seriously by the way.

Regardless, keep going, some posts are pretty entertaining.

Couldn’t care less about the build, but most seem unable to control their pets resulting in refuges breaking aggro drawn when skipping and general rolleye shenanigans.

Also people cant seem to stop channeling their shortbow 1 even when people are 3 red pixels from dead and lying on to them, but I guess that’s irrelevant.

There’s nothing to “fix”, your entire gripe can be avoided by simply clicking the skill while you have fastcast on, it’ll function exactly the same way it did before the “devastating eff-up”.

Thanks for answering.

Pugs or organized parties?

Ryuken.2789:

I suggest air, in case you run into something difficult you can spec glyphs and spam boons.

Also GoS.

10/10 effen lel’d

will dedicate a placard in your name when i get rank 40

This is what happens when you RTL past gs warriors?

iBlasiannn.4279:

I’ve recently gotten back into ele, and I’ve just been comparing utilities between us and other classes. Mainly Armor of Earth, Mistform, Lightning Flash, and RTL.

Why does Armor of Earth have a 90-second CD. I really cannot understand this at all. 30 in arcana, and you have 7 seconds of Protection and Stability? Not worth it.

Mistform has a 3 second duration, and allows you to move 66% faster. In reality you’re always going to be in combat when using this skill. So it’s more like say 50%? When a warrior has Endure Pain that is on a 60 second CD with a 4 second duration. You can use skills as well. This just seems unfair. Mesmer as well has a 60 second CD on their invuln. 46 seconds if traited. Can use skills as well.

I’m mainly comparing LF to the mesmer’s Blink. Yes Blink does not do damage, but it has a 10 second shorter CD (30). Personally I’d rather take the mesmer’s Blink over our LF. Oh I nearly forgot, it’s a stun-breaker as well.

RTL was nerfed a couple months ago. Warriors have insane mobility with GS. A warrior can use rush which is basically the equivalent of RTL, but it’s still on a 20 second CD whether they hit anything or not.

Just been really irritated lately with the state of elementalist. Maybe I’m not seeing something in my blind rage. Please feel free to leave feedback.

Lo and behold, the grand summary of this subforum’s woes, all concentrated within 1 single post.

Give or take a couple.

Vissarion.6509:

How it was supposed to work(or i would like to): Lingering elements, getting out of an attunement, gives you a 5 sec window to get back to that attunement before going into cooldown.

When that was read.

For the love of god record this from as many possible povs you can, a compilation would be glorious.

Zelyhn.8069:

Weapon neutral?

Try my 30/30/0/0/10 build: it works with daggers, staff, scepter, LH, FGS anything! But it requires a high skill level to work properly. The Dec 10 patch will even further buff my build and make it even more compatible with staff and conjures

Have ran that as well but it could be a bit overwhelming for starters.

Good thing about it is the glyph fit-in in case you got a pug with problems at shaman.

Air is an excellent line overall.

What about a weapon-neutral build?

Not sure how many forum certified there are but 20-10-30-X-X with signet auras works rather well with good protection-fury-swiftness uptime and the occasional mightstack off fire aura.

Been using it on and off and it has been rather survivable.

Actually LF still damages even if you don’t teleport.

I’d say its a plus.

Shadowfax.7562:

So Arena Net please fix your 1 year bug with this trait!

They fixed it. Now you can cast fire/water/air/earth spell for 5 sec when attuned to fire/water/air/earth.

D’ohohoho

STRanger.5120:

As long as those things are percentiles we’ll be fine.
If not better reroll werrier.

Actually used that trait for a couple of weeks when roaming with a small group as staffie.

Pretty good with earth signet for locking down hapless fleeing people.

Entirely unreliable on larger scale though.

CMstorm.8679:

Berserker Stance didn’t work against Agony. Why should Diamond Skin? As far as I know, the only thing to protect you from agony besides dodging, agony resist, or any kind of special items like the crystals during the Jade Maw, is Invulnerability of course

In fact, NOTHING can protect you from agony application during entry.

Agony is only subject to agony resistance alone.

Mash Hog.5672:

What good is a fire shield though?
How effective is it?

That is debatable, considering it only burns (on a %) when you’re hit, I’d use it merely for proccing boon and shielding.

Also might but what good is it with this kind of healthpool.

However, to have all 3 you’d have to go 20-10-10-30-0 and considering you get 3s of aura with 5s fury+swiftness and 3s of protection, I’d say it’s not worth.

Better off having written in stone and ditch powerful auras.

It works with boon and shielding, brb testing powerful auras.

Yes, yes it works with powerful auras.

GuildWarsPlayer.5608:

How does this skill work ? It says conjured weapons have more charges. I have no idea how to use this skill. I selected it but I am not seeing how anything different is happening with fiery great sword once summoned.

You can use 25 skills instead of 15.

Essentially adding 10 charges to the weapon.

Xia.3485:

I would also like to see a video of that Axelifus..

Reading all these proposed changes.. I can’t help but wish there was a public test server.

Sorry Xia, i won’t be making any video about that, too much hassle to make a point like that.

Only thing I can add about this matter is that you don’t have to get stuck with the traits you picked as they’re adjustable out of combat as is utilities and weapons.

Swapping for example fresh air and air training for a glyph combo and using goep//gos can add some nifty offensive utility that arcane wave doesn’t.

Whole game is about being adaptable and recognizing patterns, we all had problems when we first ran a dungeon, but having ran everything a few times and saying it’s impossible to survive is a stretch, a far one too.

On the actual topic;

Is the conjure mastery solid about moving to adept?

Also, are you happy with the way conjures work now or there are more changes to be made in the future?

Lian Olsam.9541:

omg it was an example, this is not the point, with 30 30 0 0 10 its worse, so the point of my idea doesent change, if u play 30 30 0 0 10 i hope to dont find u in any dungeons or fotm… like i said i’ve played with some full zerker or half zerker (happy now?) with 30 on air and no points on water and 10 or 20 on arcana, and they was ever downed…

my english is bad i know but i’m not speaking martian… the point is if u have full zerker EQUIP and u play with offensive build like 30-30-x-x-x or 0-30-30-x-x u r a burden for the party, your vitality is really low (more or less around 11k at lvl 80) and you have no defensive skill like evasive arcana cleasing water/wave (i dont remember wich one) renewed stamina and elemental attunement, and your cd between attunement is too hight

i saw a post of dev (maybe john) told us they wanna make more viable builds, i told to everyone that is not possible if those traits it deeper on the three, cause imo its a must have…. u can play a full zerker but if u are everytime downed your dps is 0 and someone have to spend time for ress u, that’s my point, big number imo is not dps, dps its average damage that u (and your team) do, and atm i tryed a full zerker setup it’s really no possible to play without those traits, it too important for elementalist

like i told i play ele since bwe, i’ve done played hight lvl on fractals, and almost all dungeons, so i dont speak only cause i have to waste my time, i also played with other elementalists with some more offensive build, and they was ever downed so there is no point imo to play with those build.
i have also full zerker war, and a guard both lvl 80 and almost full ascended, i see the difference between those classes and ele, with those one full zerker its possible stay alive, with ele full zerker, really impossible…

That’s pretty much bs @ pve since all the defence you need is renewing stamina and you can run as glassy as you like.

Clear l2p issue.

Seras.5702:

How does a Fresh Air build work? Do you simply swap to air on CD for the bonus lightening strike and then back to another attunemen?

That, and you tap 2 along with the attunement for lightning strike off scepter.

Attunements of course give you other options such as rock barrier or a quick heal, fire combo etc.

Whole idea was quick attunement access, why they chose air and not some other is beyond me, perhaps the 15 air spike.

Kashrlyyk.5364:

… in an ARPG.

At least that is the impression I get when I see 10 keys long “skill rotations”. Those sound more like a 10 hit combos out of “Street Fighter” or “Soul Calibur” or all the other ones.

But this is supposed to be an ARPG that you play with your mouse and keyboard and not with a gamepad. But then again a gamepad does not have enough buttons to go through all the skills.

So ANet could you please fix the elementalist so that the profession fits better in a PC ARPG?

You just found the reason why people still play this class.

Conjures should do.

Nah, they’re already lowering cds on attunements.
Also combos.

Hehehehehehe

Do fractals, hope for chest, or any world boss for that matter.
Besides, is it really worth spending all that gold on leveling a timegated craft for a measly boost?

He’s right about that 3%, FFT’s rng haunts me to this day.
