Guild Wars 2

I will add about Ele icebow.Ice storm(number 4 skill) deals 24 impacts,each deal 5~7k damage to boss lvl 80 like bloomhunger.If boss have big model/big “hit box” =>then this skill deal 100k damage+some condi damage.Also you give bow to you team,so 2 eles= 4 ice bows=>400k damage to boss in 2 sec+long CC “Deep freeze”.Same about meteorshower 24 impacts,but more randomly,each deal 10-12k damage~even 50% miss>its a lot of damage.

For example in Asura Fotm full meta/zerker party kill boss less then 20 sec.Thief not strong in pve.He helps to skip mobs or doing dredges ,but he dont give anything to party and his dps =like warrior,but warrior give banners,re-stack might,give 150 power etc.

It is so disappointing to log in and find out that only 1 thing is realy hard and get you enjoy=>making dungeons and fractals solo/duo.The purpouse not even gold,just making some fun .

Ele is op right now.pve meta=2 eles(top dps with bows) Spvp=undead Cele ele .WvW=>like always.

You see condition=>you cleanse it.Problem resolved.Every good build have some quality/kind:1)Damage(direct/condi/mix) 2)Getting dps boons 2)Survive ability :a)condition cleanse b)breakstuns c)dodges d)Boons for survive etc. So when you creating a build=>you balance all this things and many others for you role .All what you need for winning condi guard=>its remove conditions 1-2 times when he try to burst you down.P.s.Its not even close to be OP.

Arena-net keep silence like always.

I don’t see a problem with them adding Russian hieroglyphics.

Lol? Cyrillic symbols exists in game and you can type it for example, in the TP search field.
It looks like artifical symbols restriction. Nothing more.

But you cant type in chat.

I dont need naming systems,only chat!Not localisation,not naming system,only chat.

Russian/Ukraine/USSR community is not big right now.Its lesser then it was on release,but with HoT announce many new people start playing in this game and smt its hard to explain or answer on question fast.We dont need only Russian server or smt. like that.Just cyrilic symbols for normal communication.Right now you can find German or French symbols which is not pure English and its ok/its good and im happy for you guys.I just want to communicate with people from my own country.For example in my 1 post i spent like 10 minute`s and on my own language i can write same for 1m.

P.s.New players often ask about classes and like example i write smt :"If you like to play condi classes,then engi/necro/ranger better for that playstyle.Ele universal from this point.You dont have pure tanky/dd/healer class..All classes can be tanky/DD/healer and its depends from you build,but some of them still better then others or have some aptitude ".

How its looks like :"“Esli tebe nrav9tc9 classi kotorie ispolzuyt DoTi ,togda ly4she podoidet necr/eng/ranger.Ele yniversalniy v etom plane.4ustih heal klassov ili tankov tyt net.Vse mogut bit dd/tank/heal v zavisimosty ot builda/yklona,no opredelenniy sklonnosty vse ge imeytc9” (its also hard to read) This is simpe example and when you try to explain some traits/builds synergy →its blow up you brains.

“Ban hammer” which was on release ->ban every single player which buy a cheap thing from karma trader even for own character(not for abuse).Its not a paranoia,this situation was and accounts wasnt return to casuall people.Some people spent 50$ for 1 week of play.You cant be protected from same situation on HoT release.Example:"You are newbie player and explore the world.You are making some events,buying gear for youself from karma traders(nice skin or better stats) and then BAAAAAAAAAM.You got ban because 1 thing was very cheap.Many people abuse this and you didnt.Result same->perma ban".Honestly->it was fail/mistake of Arena.net ,but was punished normal players.

Full localisation is expensive,but add cyrilic symbols in chat for normal communication->its not a big deal.Even my europe friends dont understand that.(why they cant do it or dont want to do it?)

Im waiting 3 years when this miracle will happend.Im kittened up to explain newbie players from Russia,Ukraine and other slavs country`s some specific of game.Im not asking about full localisation,but we cant use our guild chat normally.Its not a big deal write smt like “fotm lvl 50 1 spot” for players ,who already know this game,but when you try to explain newbie player,which didnt install voice chat yet,some complex things about game mechanic ->its looks like “Esli tebe nrav9tc9 classi kotorie ispolzuyt DoTi ,togda ly4she podoidet necr/eng/ranger.Ele yniversalniy v etom plane.4ustih heal klassov ili tankov tyt net.Vse mogut bit dd/tank/heal v zavisimosty ot builda/yklona,no opredelenniy sklonnosty vse ge imeytc9”. .Also its looks like disrecpect/discrimination. Thanks for reading that.

Sorry for my English.The HoTs looks very crude right now and i dont want buy this right now.Even more,i will not play 2-3 months cause of this :1)On new addon someone can find exploit and if you itncidentally/casually use it >be ready to get perma ban.Same situation was after release with karma trader and all people who buy cheap things(Arena`net fail) got banned even if they didnt abuse this.I dont want loose my account and 100$ because im normally playing in game.No one cant be sure thats it will not happen with him. 2)Bugs 3)Balance/meta. Im sure that veterans players will not able to play normally anymore cause meta will be broken.(specialisation/revenant).If you dont have it->you will loose pvp matches or will not able to go in dungeon with random party.(you will be kicked cause you are not reaper/revenant or whatever).From this point Arena`net push us to buy new content,because if you dont buy it,you will s-u-c-k and after several months most part of OP things will be nerfed like always. Im tired to make new gear after every “balance” patch.

For 3 years arena`net didnt create any new dungeon(like Ascalon,CoF etc.).Also didnt add Cyrillic symbols etc etc etc and was many painfully “balanced” patch`s .About Cyrillic→its very hard to explain some specific things to newbie players if they are Slavs(russians,ukranian etc etc),cause you have to use English symbols.Could they add cyrillic chat?Yes.Its not hard to do.

Also this is 1 time for 3 years ,when ele a little bit overpowered.Thiefs,warriors was op several time ,but eles only 1 and all people start crying about this.Let us play a little bit.

Its not about ele,its about celestial.Just remove this from game>it will resolve many problems.1 year ago cele warriors was OP,now eles.Cele Revenant is more op then others.

Stance are bad?People use them EVERYWHERE.(in fotm,in pvp,in WvW).Zerker warrior with double endure pain->is pain in my kitten .They are strong,thats why they have so big cooldown.Lets make less CD,then what?How you will kill him?Warrior heal stance is amazing on wvw/pve.Endure pain cool in every aspect of game.Berserk stance good vs every condi class or condition CC.If you will make less cd=>warrior will be god/OP.

Necro tranformaton.1)Plague good CC 2)Lich is AMAZING damage dealer in pve/pvp/wvw.If you are tanky/bunker then you use plague and if you role is dealing damage,then you are using Lich.Both this Elite skills are good and be called “Elite”.

Sorry for my English.

Problem:Its very annoying to me craft superior sieges or charged loadstones from core`s because you have to click all time to same things and you spend a lot of time for this,if dont use clicker(i dont use it,but i want to start doing it).

Solution: Make mystic forge similar like craft station for recipe`s with stable results after you learn/discovery the recipe`s. For example :sieges,mystic weapon,transformation with stable result(from core`s to lodestones) etc. (discovery system which already done in the game) .For things with unstable results dont change anything.

I think its small thing which will do game a little bit better and its not hard to realize.

Hi,
Try to imagine the situation for example:
Guardian have staff with sigil of blood+sigil battle and greatsword with sigil of fire+sigil of force.After he use empower in battle and change weapon, he got bonus from 4 sigils(power stack+3 stack of might+5% of damage and also fire blast which work very well=>its all increase the damage too much).I think its unfair that elementalists and engi can use only 1 sigil like optional,because 1 sigil always will be with stacks and if we change weapon,we loose stacks.So other classes,which use two-handed and can switch weapon, have more advantage,then it was before.

Developers,may be you should to create a special weapon for this classes with 3 sigils for example for ele and engi?Same problem with d/d ele vs warrior without two-handed weapons.(2 sigils vs 4)

Sorry for my English.

Insanity.5174:

Diamond Skin : conditions taken below the 20% the health threshold are converted into boons?could be?ele survability?

Nope.20%=2,5~6k hp.Its not enough if u have low hp and imbalance if u have 20k hp.Also how it will work?For example i have stability and necro try to fear me,as result i dont get + stability time,i will be just immune to fear.It will be imbalance.Because if smb will try to poison me, i always will get regeneration and cure 1 condition(11 trait in water) which was on me before threshold.

I suggest change glyph of storm and up his range to 1000-1200 from 900.Its very anoying that most skills with staff have range 1200 and if i want use glyph i must come closer to enemy melee/range group.

Lian Olsam.9541:

I tink evasive arcana is a must have for any kind of build and 30 on water for more vitality and some good trait like cleasing like n 15 cantrip master so i have only 10 point to choose… i play zerker and imho a death ps is a bad dps usually i can stay alive only with this build so if they wanna change realy something they have to remake elementalist basic stats or move some defensive traits on offensive three… before and after patch will be no a real change… i ve played with some other eles with high ap 10k+ and i ve spent my time ress him every time cause of bad survivability on dps build.. best compromise atm is zerk equipment and defensive build…

Agree.
My build which i think balanced.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQFAWhImkbwx5QlDAkHm4CLiCWUeMzO2A-jEyAYfACCQ6rIasFOiox2AquGT7KIriTqUARsMC-w

I deal good damage and i can survive.

Fire/air dps build.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQFAWhImgbyx4QlDAhHEwQCCFW0QRBO7A-jkxAYLg0XR0YrnFRjVXjpdFkVxJVIgRLAA-w

If i dont take water traits,i have only 15.5k hp(wurm rune for hp balance) but its not so good at survive.I have problem vs direct damage and vs condition,also i dont have Cantrip Mastery,its mean that i will not survive on lord room or long fights.

JonPeters.5630:

I do agree that the 5 point minors need looking at. I think the Earth and Water ones are in an ok place right now but Fire and Air need work.

Hello.
1)Aquamancer’s Alacrity is very important for full support ele(very rare kind of elementalists) and if u move this trait to master tier,then we will have problem with survive ability.Elementalist have lower hp and lower armor,but we can descrease this problem with using our cantrips skills,so Cantrip Mastery are important too.We need both this traits for support and survive.Its not unbalance,so please let us to take both this traits.Doesnt matter which will be on adept/master tier.
2)Elementalists take arcane traits for survive and lower cooldown on Attunement are good,but not so important.
3)New diamond skin are usless at wvw.For example at my build i have 20k hp(wvw trait,food etc),and if i loose 2 k hp=>it will be doesnt work.If some warrior just auto-attack me 2 times=>this trait will not work.Its not bad trait for spvp,but it usless at wvw.Also we dont have usefull traits at Earth.Stability when we change attunement too low,fast recharge on skills not so importent because earth dont have important skills.(They good,but not so important).Arcane and water traits good not only for elementalist,but also for his group.Earth dont have this something like Elemental Attunement or Healing Ripple.

Realy?
Water I – Aquamancer’s Alacrity. Moved to Master tier.
Water V – Cleansing Wave. Moved to Master tier.
Arcane V – Elemental Attunement. Moved to Master tier.
Arcane VI – Renewing Stamina. Moved to Master tier.

Thank u guys for nerf my wvw builds.I play for class which have the lowest hp and armor and u nerf my survive ability more.Are u kidding me?!

Now the most actual build will be dps with 30 in fire.Also i must spend many time for new gear to balance the build and its not fun.Support build will be not so good.D/D elem nerfed.Diamond skin usless at wvw(only solo roaming).So all elementalists will be at dps builds like the most actual without any variations.(30 fire/10 air///10 arcane)

Also thief nerf again…no comments…

Guys,u just kill my favorites classes…
I will delete this kittening game after this patch.
