Oh? o: If I may ask, what did you find bad about it?
Whenever a spec gets nerfed, you’ll see a segment of its players cry out that it sucks now. The 0/10/0/30/30 D/D cantrip build is still really strong, it’s just not as ridiculous as it used to be.
A lot of people are also just bored of playing the same spec for months and months and have moved on to other things. It’s a really fun playstyle, though. I encourage you to try it out for yourself.
Oh when I said that I was asking about why Neko found earth runes bad, hehe. As someone who has had their builds nerfed in the past (though they were never complained about), I totally know the feeling, even if the nerf didn’t destroy the build I tend to experiment with something else. As an altoholic, I can’t stand playing one thing for months on end, so I completely understand people moving on to other things.

Yeah I’m not surprised about the bashing, human nature, really. I personally don’t feel like a cookie cutter, since I didn’t just copy+paste it from whoever and arrived at through my own decision making. I also just don’t believe I’m going to be weak or op, so I don’t think I’m going to be bothered much by what people think. I also may just drop this entirely and go for something different, all depends on whether or not it’s fun.
Oh you’re right! I completely forgot that the water one cleansed it on others and that the earth one was a blast finisher. And since I get a faster attunement recharge rate and more boon duration in that tree that helps make up some of the protection I’ll lose, and in turn I’ll get more utility. Great tip!
Hi! I’ve recently been motivated to pick up my elementalist once more, who I stopped playing right before hitting 80. I remember being unhappy with my ele because I would die extraordinarily fast as soon I made a mistake, one time I was even killed before I could see my downed skills (1st down), which has never happened to me on my other characters. (Not even on my necro during the 1/3 downed hp bug.) So all I’m saying is that this is quite a leap for me, and the idea I’m going for with this is high uptime of protection and vigor while supporting through aura sharing, fields and blast finishers, and hopefully doing a bit of damage as well.
Anyways here it is: http://tinyurl.com/kchyxmw
For reference I play on a t1-ish server and currently run with my guild who fields 15-20 a night, along with whatever pugs that feel like following. We’re used to going up against even-ish numbers or more. I’d like to be successful with this as I believe I’ll find it more fun than the ‘ol supporty staff ele, but I’d like your opinions on it before I try anything. Thanks for any advice!
Thanks for the feedback! It’s quite helpful!
While I do agree that team support is quite important, I’m just not a big fan of the shout skills compared to the ones I have selected here. I also don’t have much trouble with stuns on my main, but as this class/build is more aggressive I’ll see how much trouble it gives me, and then decide what runes to use.
I can see why people don’t like endure pain, now. If I understand correctly, it doesn’t stop conditions from being applied, even during the duration? I’ll experiment and later decide which skill to put into that slot.
The same goes for the healing signet, I’ll just have to see which heal I prefer after some experience at ZvZ on the warrior.
As for replacing defy pain, my first instinct is to get cleansing ire for even more condi mitigation than I already have, but if condis prove to be less of an issue than I believe, then I’ll go with spiked armor.
Again thank you for your thoughts and opinions.
Remaking my old sylvari necro as an asura. Can’t wait till I can get the armor skins I want.

Wow, that is absolutely horrific, I’ve never had that many bad experiences in quick succession like that! No worries OP, you’re safe now!
(Safer, at least.)
I played Tera for a while as well! Pre-ordered it and everything, was really excited about it. I didn’t have a particularly bad time with trolls in that game, not worse than any other I’ve played, though that was one of the reasons I eventually left. (I haven’t touched Tera since it went f2p though, so it may’ve gotten worse.) Main reason for me was, in short: Battlegrounds. They were abhorrent for a plethora of reasons, one of which being that because I was on the PVE server (while 99% of the people doing BGs were on the PVP server.) that meant everyone would harass me if they lost, even if I did considerably better than them. And at this point the playerbase was so small you’d just see the same 30 people over and over. I love that there is no separation in this game, and I can hop between game modes whenever! I absolutely loved the combat in that game, and if this game had a combat system more like Tera it would be perfect for me. But aside from that everything else in this game is miles upon miles ahead of Tera, sometimes I want to hop on Tera and solo a few BAMs at once like I used to do, but I heard they made it easier to do since that was too hard for most people apparently. :\ I would miss everything about this game too much to actually play it again though.
