Things I’ve been getting annoyed with lately with the Ele Class which mostly stems from WvW because I’ve been enjoying that most lately.

-Staff only choice: 1200 range and being so squishy can’t really get closer. No weapon swap means we can’t be versatile to a group battle and a 1/1 (or small sided fight) like other classes with a longbow on one weapon set and a dagger on the other.

-Extremely low base HP pool, in order to push damage out we need a strong precision / power build basically the definition of a glass cannon

-With staffs we have an incredibly slow auto attack and 1 out of 3 attacks get ‘obstructed’ for no reason in open field combat.

-no ultimate worth using in WvW – tornado is nice but still get dominated by people focusing and damaging you

I understand I have no ‘recommendations’ for change and it seems like I’m just whining but I am just pointing out things I’m frustrated with and want to see if others feel the same way. Again my view is mostly based on WvW I know the sPvP most run dagger/scepter and I do too it’s a lot of fun. There are probably some other things I have forgotten which will come back to me playin, see ya out there!
