Guild Wars 2

Log in rewards fill the same niche as dailys,but aimed at the potatoes who cant even do anything.Therefore i am as a player,and not a potato dislike this change.

• What i suggest:
  New pvp game mod people havent seen since launch.
  Idea is simple,it is 2v2 and/or 3v3 arena deathmatch.
• Why i suggest this:
  There isnt any pvp game mods other than capture the point.
  Suggestion is relatively easy to implement.
  Suggested mode maybe more fair and forgiving to newer players (you wont be outnumbered)(your only goal is to kill enemy team)
• How i see this implemented:
  “arena” type map is generally a somewhere small sircle.Everything placed in the center of the map (boxes,bridge,pillars) adds spice to them.
  “Mapmaking” wise i cant see a huge problem to create this.
  “UI” wise-it could be a new button near team arena.
  “balance” wise i can only see it beeing a blast towards better meta game.
  Keep in mind you can take it seriously like a new game mode or implement it in a way of experimental map.
  What do you guys think?

Diamond skin!Spent your 30 trait points and become immune to condis!Until you lose 1000 hp!Hell yea this will bring eles back in condi meta!

It is broken when you cant even see the SKILL applied condition!

Looks like i wont be playing spvp ele for another half of the year.

• Blinding Ashes: This skill will blind enemies when you burn them. (5 second ICD)
  blinding flash Arent saving us,why this should?AND its grandmaster.
• Lightning Rod: Interrupting your enemy causes them to be struck
  by a damaging lightning bolt that leaves them weakened(5s)
  Dev had a lot of fun explaining it use in pve on stream.Glad at least they are having fun.
• Stone Heart: You can not be critically hit while in Earth attunment.
  Steps in the right direction.™
• Aquatic Benevolence: Your healing to other allies (Not self) is increased by 25%.
  People still wont like healing power,sorry.
  Overall sadness.

Captain Smash anyone?

A little brainstorm after playing the update.
Why arent Aetherblades dying from poison?They are just “sky pirates” after all.Charr and “nightmare” sylvari are humanoid as well.Why must we leave LA again and again while they are staying there just fine?
And,why would you unleash the deadly poison on your own troops while you massively assaulting the city?I mean,the poison should not determine friends and foes.
And,if poison reached “lethal dose”,so even “heroes of tyria” cant stand it any longer,how could regular people survive?

Since whispers came from the forest,and she painted a dragon,its a jungle elder dragon.

observer z.6725:

Ele already has stability, and blinks.

Ele has 1 sort of stability.Its cantip.Its on 90s cooldown.Ele has 1 sort of blink.Its called lightning flash.Its on 40s cooldown.Hi.

Conski Deshan.2057:

6. cast/travel time on most elementalist skills , they are off par with 1 skill damage dealing attacks which output 1-2k DPS , where including travel time a fireball falls below this.

Not only attunement cooldowns but also “cast timers”,for a mediocre spells.For the sake of balance.

darkace.8925:

giving us the flexibility to customize our weapon skills.

Please

Lucidity.5947:

We are balanced for having low health, armor, and high cool down defenses…the one thing we have going for us is plentiful boons. . just imagine being a glass staff ele, getting pounced on by a thief that can 3 shot you.

This.

Titanimite.2534:

Actually if you think Warrior is the heaviest hitter you are dead wrong most classes when buffed hit harder than Warrior.

Now if you are referring to PvP or WvW some of this doesn’t apply but in general Ele can still be played however you feel like playing it and fill any role.

And for the record, Ele actually got a pretty good buff this last patch so stop QQing

It is play style dissussion,not qqing = )Most people think warroirs have superior damage in game.“LFG ONLY ZERK WARS AND MESMER 6000 AP”This is their role.

Is it just me or is 95% of the Forum some thread complaining about feeling weak?

I actually think Elementalists are doing quite fine.

In pvp ele is not played.At all.Not a single ele was in recent tournaments.(not solo q,but real tournamets)Prove me wrong.
Most of the time,party is looking for a guard,or a war.This thread is for the situations where ele is needed.And what is party expects from ele.

Alex.5349:

‘’die instantly’’.

Elementalists are supposed to be good at everything,

I also wanted to note that I really don’t understand ANet’s balancing methods.
they have no single idea what to do with the Elementalist,

even if we áre able to teamplay, most other classes can do it better.

ANet either doesn’t see, or don’t care about.

This.Devs arent playing ele,and wont be.Healing signet is to good for them.

Shadowfall.6543:

If you came to the Ele class expecting the typical mage class like every other RPG

I did.But the description change topic is below.I want to role play and master “mage class” anyway.
AOE damage huh?Sounds like “role” at least,thanks!

Mash Hog.5672:

I feel like I can provide just as much support as a guardian in a dungeon but provide more might while maintaining a high DPS and mobility as an elementalist.

90% lfg is +1 guard,and isnt +1 ele.Why so if we are equal?

If we want to be a DPS class, we can do that.

I really want to!People simply wont pick zerk ele over a warrior in terms of raw damage.
I want to be credit to team,wanna just know my role.

Lets discuss the playstyle in general.Our role in party.We arent heavy hitters(hello warriors),we arent supportive(lfg fractal 99+ guardian only), we arent utility based (portals from mesmers).yet we are given lowest base hp and armor.What is idea of our class?

Danicco.3568:

I’m dealing no damage and not surviving anything at all.

Not a single ele was in recent tournament.Not a single dev plays ele.Eles dont exists in meta.Looking on a new patch though.

lordkrall.7241:

How can they win?

Elaron.8150:

Even crait furniture for home instance was better.

Told you,every ls reward so far was good.But bloodstone pile is everywhere already in game.

people have wanted to get more of drogonite

Ouch,i feel sorry for my rage post when.Did not know most people like dragonite as a reward.

Bloodstone Brick?Who thought that this nonsense will be valuable to anyone?The fist time i do not want to do the meta achievement,cause i wont achieve anything!Even crait furniture for home instance was better.

Neko.9021:

The Ele is definitely the spammy-class.

The mantra of the Ele is basically “Press all the buttons, so you can press more buttons.”

Warrior is not http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hundred_Blades

Shadowfall.6543:

Elementalists are multi-faceted spellcasters that channel elemental forces, making fire, air, earth, and water do their bidding. What they lack in physical toughness, they make up in versatility and the ability to inflict massive damage in a single attack.

I think something like “They reward player skill and creativity with strong support and devastating area attacks” would be a better description for two reasons.

• This implies that the Elementalist somehow sacrificed durability for greater DPS, or Skills that hit harder than a class that did not sacrifice durability at the very least. which is not true. I compare the Elementalist to the warrior, because the warrior has sacrificed no durability.

• I do not think I am the only Ele that was expecting since our practical maximum health around 20 K is about where the warriors begin, that our DPS would be noticeably higher to compensate.

How about description “you can do everything other classes can do,but worse” ?

Failed to find a not outdated ele spvp videos.Preferably live footage,montages are no good for learning.Can you help?

This tread is for suggestions?I will make mine.People want reward for hard content,and hard content by itself.Make real hard bosses (in mini dungeon maybe?)Make them drop not tradable weapon skins.(boss hp/attack/drop rate flexible for balance).Make them not required for general living story.Rewarding,hard,simple.If i would see someone with “living story weapon skin” i would know,“this person done something,when there were crait invaision.” And not just bought it.

LightningBlaze.4913:

You may not get one- shot but you won’t kill good players with a bunker low damage build specially in spvp. Bunker builds aren’t the only ones that determine if you survive in teamfight. Player skills play a major importance when you play with a build with less armor and hp but much more dps/burst… even a glass cannon ele can survive in group if played right. Finally, don’t assume that by bursting it means to be glass cannon or to be “one-shoted” because that is not always the case.

Hell yes!The problem for me is – if i am not a total bunker my face is slammed real fast.Yet if i cant kill someone forever it isnt fun to play as well.Glass cannon ele is about 10000-12000 hp btw and teamfight will mean some aoes.

LightningBlaze.4913:

All good players will get hit with all your burst combos it is just a matter of knowing when to cast them and not making them a predictable button mashing move.Have you tried to use Rtl and lightning flash to gain distance instead of using them for offense and fgs skill 3 and 4?

Reading warriors is hard for me,i am trying but it seems i am a bad player.
RTL is a wierd escape tool.Is there a way to clear your target rather then click esc 4 times in panic?This is 2-3 seconds to do,and sometimes there is a lot of targets in spvp as well.

Got a lot of comments about duels,thank guys!I am interested in spvp,however.And if i cant burst him in a teamfight,he is unkillable for me,correct?I was trying almost every build i found.Bunker is the most fun to play,cause i do not get one-shoted instantly.I seek for build that can survive teamfight AND actually kill some warriors.

Tyler Chapman.1832:

I’ve personally done with ele (2000+ tournament games played on live on top teams) ele is looking really strong. I’m beating most everything 1v1 right now with the spec I’ve been running.

I am sorry for offtop,but i wonder if you have some streams,or guides for ele.Playing ele now i am feeling like i worse than any class at everything.=(

Healing signet makes them immune to all damage in d/d bunker.Condition removing makes them immune to signet of fire condition build.Not to mention their stuns for 3-4s.I am seeking advice and builds to kill them.

Nerfing Elmental attunement will be huge for eles.If you want encourage us to swap attunements you should not be nerfing this.Ele is a bit underpowered now and its wierd to nerf a core trait.

Found a party,ran a cof p2,and now i am on cooldown for a 15 mins to find p1?Is this supposed to work like this?Never encountered the griefing before.Do not make LFG worse plz.

Lazer turrets lame,dragons should be slain by bare hands only
Last boss of the game simply cannot be killed while “cut scene”.

Just hit 80,yes.How do i get exotics if not bying them?Crafting?

Leveling was enjoyable now i am lvl 80.(leveling is not fun anymore)
I want to farm some gold and cool looking armors.(why not?)
Can’t do fractals alone.(Barely got guild invite-server looks empty)
Dont want to be a zombie gatherer in Orr.(70 copper per wood is not profitable)
Today got an 3 ectoplasm out of 7 rares,so trading post is not for me.(lost 2 golds)
Locations and guild lack of people so there is no one to give me an advise.
Where and what should i do,or farm?(dragon world boss despawned cause there were no one to kill him)
I am truly sorry for my english.( Bought this game to learn it a bit)
