Guild Wars 2

Considering that Air line is mostly used by zerker/marauder spec, i would change vulnerability with weakness for morse sustain.

Btw yeah, the worse grandmaster trait ever xD

The most damaging part is when the air load finish and u leave the air field that keeps damaging while u can keep attacking plus shocking aura + lighting rod.
U don’t need stability u need a good timing or just start cast the overload before and use lighting flash.
But i guess there may be several other way to use it in your advantage.

It’s not the survivability that’s the issue. It’s really more of a power issue as in the amount of overall power you can generate vs the other elite specs currently filling up the matches.

The amount of support you can generate for your teammates just doesn’t really keep up very well with the amount of damage and conditions being thrown around. Water overload is a good example. The heal and condi cleanse on pulse doesn’t keep up with HoT mobs in PvE; much less in PvP. The heal at the end is relatively strong, but it just ends up mostly healing all the damage you and the people around you took during the 4 second cast time, so it ends up kind of neutralizing itself.

My general experience was living forever, but really not being able to do anything when my teammates were targeted. It’s not just a tempest issue, to be honest; I ran into the same issue with my old staff bunker build. The amount of AoE sustain and support you can put out just get’s overshadowed by the power creep.

You can chalk it up to me being bad at my class, but this wasn’t an experience or perspective I had before HoT.

I’ll just chalk your opinion up to a small sample set of matches where you happened to do well against relatively bad players, because so far, the overwhelming consensus I see is that Tempest (and the old builds) are somewhat impotent in comparison to what some of the new elites can do.

Have u tried air overload with a marauder amulet? the damage is insane nothing to envy dragonhunter traps.
Combined with shocking aura , lighting rod i happen to instakill people without even noticing.. OF COURSE a good player would be able to dodge it is the same for dragon hunter traps.. and if u arrive in an already started fight it’s quite easy to land.

I always played zerker ele (when there was only the berserker amulet and not that kitten ed marauder amulet for low hp classes like ele) and my damage outoput is higher than ever.

If the devs will decide to listen to the complains and buff the spec i couldn’t be happier.

But i seriusly doubt… as i’m used to see , everytime we get something nice they’ll nerf to the bone so right know i would sign with blood to keep the things like are now.

If u don’t believe me try it out.

Or write me in game to duel with ur ele

Actually i love my tempest in pvp, it’s really a strong spec.
The warhorn may be useless, but who cares?
Overload are the best, especially air overload with marauder amulet, and if u can’t survive with the perma vigor and regen given by auras…well maybe u are not a good pvp player.
Stop asking for buffs and let’s just hope they don’t nerf it as they always did with anything good they gave to ele.

Thank you.

So the warhorn is unusable, shouts are unusable, and you like one out of the four overloads, so you don’t think that buffs are warranted?

I think he just dislikes the WH the other things are kind of leaps of logic that he dose not like them if any thing it sounds like he dose like them.

I just don’t like warhorn because it doesn’t fit my style, playing with marauder needs the survivability granted by focus .

I love the shouts, 2 on 3 utilities i have are shouts, they have low cd, and with the sinergy of the traits , grants group healing , regen , vigor , fury , swiftness , and protect on demand.

Dagger is more offensive. Focus compensates the weaker defence of the amulet and gains a huge boost with geomancers training. Yo go to air often incuding overload. If you have trouble overloading take stability on overload instead of regen + vigor. Its a fresh air build! Auras add to your heal and defence.

As he said

Actually right now i’m testing the build with Lighting rod and radiance rune ( for an incrased duration of air aura) considering u can get 3-4 of this aura in a row , the dmg output is almost doubled , most zerker class just suicide while trying to dps me while casting my overload , and get weakness wich helps me sustain more dmg.
Pretty nice.

Plus the 5th skill with the focus become a nice dps skill with LR.

I’m having good results in duel server and on point capture/def in arena.
Still i have to test it with an organized team.

I play earth , air , tempest with marauder amulet and d/f.
This mean i have perma protection , regen and vigor on demand.
This mean 50 % damage reduction (40 % for prot plus 10% fron earth minor trait)
Reduced cd to 33 sec for invulnerability.
I don’t feel vulnerable while using overload .
Yeah not have stability and still deciding wich trait is better but either way with this continuos healing from aura i feel durable as i never felt before with my ele.
I use 2 shouts and lighting flash and this helps me to start or to reach my target beginning the overload far away.

I ONLY pvp since day one of this game.
And no i have not only played against unskilled opponents.
Of course there are some weakness , but aftet several hours i can say i win about 75% of the duels (with this class i can deal and win vs scrappers) , and i feel pretty useful in my team.

So please, don’t nerf it

-I think a trait for stability on Overload cast would really help a lot.
As PVP player ,i don’t think it’s worth to use your 60-75 cd stability for one skill that won’t change the tide of the battle-duel (especially in team fights)

-Air and earth overloads needs furthermore improving.

-Possibility to change element while channeling

-More useful trait line

Thank you for reading.

Peace and love.

With 900 ferocity , the critical damage will be over 210% .
Now , in pvp, shouldn’t the damage be locked at 200%?
What’s the meaning of this? should i think that there is no more the critical dmg limit in pvp?

Totally agree with the main topic.

UP

I’d like to know too!

To say the truth , it’s my friend’s one.. But that way sounded cooler :P

I don’t know when i’ll be online, but i’ve already pmd u both and added to friend list, we’ll duel in my arena.
Cya soon

We are going OT..

Btw, less talk more act! if you want to duel, pm me in game and i’ll just show you what i mean XD

My is not an 1v1 spec .. I think it’s meaningless to use specs that are not useful in teamfights.
But still it’s has awesome dmg (zerker jewel) and good survivability , If i want to counter a specific class it’s enough to change 1 utility.

No i don’t, it’s pretty different… With any other class depends on the skill of the player but still it’s an even match.

The main reason is the target system, doesn’t matter how focused you are you’ll eventually always waste some skills, and that’s the reason i consider them OP in 1 v 1.

In 2v2-3v3, it’s another story.

No ,it’s my main, I spend most of my time only dueling that’s why u don’t know me, i’ll be glad to duel you with any class except Mesmer.

I’ll show you how warrior should be played.

Warrior is a good, strong class.

The main problem is that people really don’t know how to use it and complain.

Said by a warrior since day 1.

“All class AOE will be effective with this Nerf. But don’t worry, you will not be affect most by the change anyway, Eles will be hit REALLY hard with this change though. Guess I should make a topic to say "Dear Anet, if you nerf AOE dams, Eles is trash ""

I Agree with you, poor Eles have been killed by the last 2 patches and they don’t deserve anymore Nerf.

But , why nerf war? i mean, I dare them to play a game, war vs mesmer and judge wich class should be nerfed.

I play war since day one, and never stopped to play it even when it was trash, i waited for too long to have some buff, i won’t accept random nerfs anymore.

Please, u finally gave us a reason to play war in pvp with hammer, don’t nerf our dmg.
Somebody told me AOE dmg will be nerfed, i love the war the way it is now, i don’t want anything more.. just DON’T NERF IT PLZ!
