Guild Wars 2

I’m seeing the pattern that people have fun in PvE with their elementalist but in PvP they are having no fun. In my mind this is largely due to the fact that many of the elementalists more powerful abilities are simply not effective against player characters such as dragon’s tooth, meteor shower, flame wall, churning earth, etc. So players wanting to spec as a glass-cannon end up being all glass and no cannon when player’s dance around all of their best attacks. This only leaves the turtle healer build which most elementalists did not envision when they rolled their tunes.

Also Akuma is ugly.

I’m in this boat and decided to just role a thief and wait to see if they balance things.

@Rafe, what isn’t fine about D/D?

Ride the lightning and burning speed to start with, you’re really alright with how these skills function?

I love PvP and wanted it to be the endgame for my ele but it is horribly frustrating and i always feel weak and pitiful compared to other classes, not the experience i’m looking for from a game. I’m currently leveling a warrior instead so that i can enjoy WvWvW. What a shame, hopefully the elementalist will be fixed (there are about a hundred bugs in the profession that might make the difference) but until then i’d advise against PvPing with one.

Has anyone heard any response pertaining to this issue? At least give us another trait that works guys

Still bugged for me on Tarnished Coast.
