So, I can’t go into much detail on things quite yet, but I just wanted to reassure you folks that we’re actively discussing a number of issues that are affecting balance in PvP – including, but not limited to elementalist sustain/damage. Per the usual, we’ll be talking to you folks about the changes once we’ve finalized them.

Sorry I haven’t been that active on the forums lately – we’ve been pretty busy around the office.

“Thanks, Grouch. You’re the worst!”

Edit: Also, just because this is an elementalist thread doesn’t mean we’re only looking at elementalist, and it also doesn’t mean we’re only looking at doing nerfs.

So nothing on nerfing Celestial Amulet ? I can see 3 stats that could be shaven in pvp at least (condition damage/healing power/ferocity). Or abjusting the burning formula?

Seriously dont kill ele in pvp again

Nerf the amulet that only one class can use, making it even more useless to all other classes…

Or nerf some ele skills?

Seriously leave might, leave the amulet remove some of eles burn stacks and finishers.

You do understand that ele is a mage right ? I’m supposed to control fire and burn (among other things) not let it sit on my wrists for show? Other classes like Guardian/Engi (and Berserker elite spec from the looks of it) can do more burning than ele already.

Celestial Amulet is the only viable build for ele and it has been since it was introduced. Why do you think everyone and their mother runs Cantrips? It’s the only viable option. When was the last time you saw anyone using Conjure Weapons in pvp? Apart from Fiery Greatsword which is exclusively used for mobility.

What about our Elites now that I mentioned it?

When was the last time anyone run Arcane skills (except Arcane Shield, Arcane Brilliance, Arcane Wave which see more use in PvE than PvP). Everyone is forced into Arcane traitline but rarely takes arcane skills in pvp.

What about Scepter/X buffs? the autoattacks are horrible.

I don’t see why they just don’t get rid of aquabreather stats, like people suggested a million times by now, and make them use the stats/rune from the helms and just be an underwater skin. Its clear we haven’t seen anything supporting underwater combat for a looong time not even underwater bl skins, so why bother adding ascended recipes for something that’s not being ‘used’.

you need to open your level up rewards ><

So basically, if I decide to do fractals or dungeons on my beta revenant, I will not keep any tokens, gold etc? I bet I will drop an ascended chest piece just because of that.

I was more afraid about my first precursor :P
wanted to try revenant in a few dungeon runs but now ….. seems like a waste of time

Give this a try: Put on RP walk, then hold down sideways movement key and jump at the same time, keep holding either the q or the e key and steer with the mouse. You will know if you’re doing it correctly because you will lack breath from laughing so hard!

I can’t claim credit for this discovery, but every time I see it, all I can think is “Every Quaggan throw your flippers in the air, we’re gonna wave ‘em like we just don’t care!”

The resulting little ‘dance’ they do on hind flippers looks absolutely hilarious up close, from the waving flippers to the wriggling tail.

hahaha just tried it, this is so funny! Thank you for sharing.

Now that quaggan tonics can finally use jump (awesome change btw), why not emotes too ? At least their own little quaggan dance would be cool.

I would like to see statues with materials like marble/wood/steel and you can use any race as a model and similar choices as makeover kits (for hair for example) and any armor skin from the wardrobe carved on them. Maybe it can be used as a reminder of friends we lost too and we would like to be remembered.

2 changes I would propose is make turrets despawn after the engi leaves to a certain long range and make the trait Deployable Turrets use the same target limititations as shadowstepping and teleports have now.

The new hearts are in: one in Caledon Forest at the Astorea waypoint and two in Plains of Ashford at the Smokestead Waypoint.

You have to talk to the scouts to see them.

I think the marionette could be a good boss fight, or maybe fractal end boss, but that wouldn’t work for every single living story update from season 1. That’s why I think cut-scenes are probably easier to do.

They should add it as a Guild World Event, like teq, karka, 3-h wurm

I would also like to see an item, (maybe purchased with pristine fractal relics) that lets you reset ascended back item stats like Light of Dwayna.
