Definitely a bug and still happening. Please fix ASAP.
Interesting build. Thanks for sharing.
Coming from a 15/20man-team focus, I also ended up with a Curses/Spite/Reaper-build for several months now. Also a hybrid. With both on shroud-entry procs, Deathly Chill and boonhate oozing out of every orifice (Well of Corruption, NCSY as utilities). Traitwise pretty much the same, except with Plague Sending.
My rune choice currently also different than yours. I currently run with Rune of the Reaper, to maximize the impact of Deathly Chill (had quite some shouts on bar already)My hybrid however has a little bit more toughness, around 1500 mark, 30%+ Critical Chance and about 1300 condi-damage (more with food). So, I gave up some of the condi-damage for bit more toughness. Almost full Viper feels a bit too squishy (for largescale).
I also like to drop my staff on this build, and run Axe/Focus + Scepter/Dagger (or Warhorn).
Downsides I feel are a bit less resilient Shroud, less Lifeforce-generation as well as really missing Blighters Boon synergizing with self-might stacking. Also, the change of heal makes your allies’ cleanses & own transfers that more important.
When I get home I might edit with an actual buildlink.
Hi Smoke.
Do you have a link for that build? I’d like to give it a try.
Thanks.
Excessive condi spam combo:
1) Phase Retreat + iWarlock
2) F5 (+ Blink) + F3 + Mirror Images + F2 + F1 (+ Chaos Storm)
3) F5 + Mirror Images (+ run/dodge towards) + F3
4) Swap weapon + iMage + iLeap/Swap + BF + F2 + F1
Indeed, this is a good advanced combo for condi. Full version.
however, as you said, I like to perform a shorter version more sustainable to avoid blowing all the CDs. Very situational but very common at high levels. Learning this kind of combos w/CS is something that a good mesmer has to be profficient at.
How to know if you have a halfway decent team?
Nobody is jumping around the spawn area.
Actually, I like seeing that. For me, seeing that means I’m gonna win 75% sure.
You can’t be stuck in sapphire if you made it to legendary you would have started in ruby unless you are playing on yet another fresh alt account. Whats with all the free alt accounts by the way you think you gaming the system or something? How about playing on a account with an established MMR where your facing people your actual skill level? How about giving it a couple of weeks before complaining? That’s a flaw in previous seasons how people were just zooming through to legendary.
Just for your information, from patch notes:
- Legendary and Diamond Division players will start the new season in Sapphire.
I’m really tired to lose pips because there is 4/5 necros in the opposite side….
Come on. One ele should have switched to Mes. Moa them down and outrotate them.
Was doing a casual duoQ with a friend from ruby division (he was legendary last season so i think he is good enough) and this happened.
How is this even possible with a search range of +-15 pips? Only possible if all those legendaries had 0 pips in legendary, but I am doubtful since they played really good.Anyway 90% of the matches end in blowouts no matter if its a win or loss. Really boring!
Legendary last season means nothing, you should stop assuming that along with assuming it´s all matchmaking faults.
The match you are showing looks fine to me, those Legendaries most probably just arrived to the division so are considered Diamond top tier and within +15 pips range. You are supposed to win matches against people above you in order to CLIMB the ladder, try to understand that. If you are not able to win matches against people above you, you will NOT climb. Stop grinding games and becoming this crazy and start improving yourself. My advice, open your mind and think about what you can do instead of blaming other people/the system.
Also stuck, please help! Kossuth.2168
ele and guardian just “BURING” that kill someone, need no skills, just bur burn and burn ,
is this BBQ War 2? learn to play? you’re kidding right?
So you stayed alive with all that burn. Congrats bro, you don’t need to learn to play. Please teach other people how to do that though.
Read the forums. Your sugestions should be done in a thread already existing for that purpose. Please do not create anothet endless thread about ele nerfs.
I have a story for you.
Once upon a time.
The mesmer’s got buffed.
People figured out what needed to be nerfed and what could be done to make the build less of an issue.Most mesmer’s agreed that the issue came from two trait’s and suggestions were made to make those traits less of an imbalance.
The devs.
Gathering feedback from the community.
IGNORED THEM.They nerfed a trait that worked only for one build.
They nerfed an entire utility set that did nothing for the “OP” build people cried about.
They nerfed a weapon that made the dps a tad bit lower.
They nerfed trait’s that did nothing but help mesmer support.They ignored the trait suggestions that would have brought one very powerful build inline and instead gutted another.
The devs don’t listen.
You will be nerfed in area’s that make no sense.
You will have buffs taken away from you for no reason.
And you will have a random build no on really uses destroyed.
That’s how Anet balances/saltysaltsalt
You think we don’t know this story?
Once upon a time DD cleric eles ruled WvW and PvP with an iron fist.
Wise eles agreed they needed their active defense toned back
In practically universal agreement, the ele community cried out that Cantrips were the root of the problem.Anet heard this, then…
Nerfed all weapon healing
Nerfed what was then our least used healing skill
Nerfed the rest of our healing skills
Took away Evasive Arcanas blast finisher
Gave back the blast finisher (sort of)
And finally, made Ride the Lightning in to some sort of nonsensical skill where you lose CD if you don’t hit with it (or if you do and they dodge) a mechanic which makes no sense to new players or veterans alike and is seen nowhere else in the game.And then a week later they nerfed cantrips.
And then they nerfed them three more times.
And gave nothing back to DD but one measly blast finisher.
Moral of the story, DD is NOT overpowered by any stretch of the imagination. And I’m honestly probably missing a dozen or more stupid changes they made to the old cleric DD while avoiding the actual issue.
Burning is just out of freaking control the whole game over and we have the second greatest access to it after Guardians. And our build diversity problems are a completely different issue that addressing DD power probably won’t even effect.
+1. Please post this on the devs forum, people are crying like hell.
Just a side role note on the elementalist. We are suppose to control elements. Thus, earth has to quake, light has to strike, water has to heal and fire has to BURN.
I agree that burning is OP. Nothing should be able to take you out in 2 seconds without skill. Like a burst out of stealth takes skill, but burning is just stupid.
L2P dude.
i dont agree with anything you suggest sorry, your suggestions are designed for people that don’t use their brain and nothing else.
ring of fire? what’s so hard about it, you don’t eat a single burn if you just stand in it or dodge out of it. the only thing that needs to be fixed is the bug with uneven ground where this skill applies 6-12 stacks for no reason.
cleanse on cantrips? cleanses have been randomized. i could understand it if it was the way it used to be, cleanses remove the newest condition, how many times have i cleansed those 10 bleeds that ranger apply just by cleansing with it after an auto attack of shortbow. that’s not the case anymore, cleanses remove one random condition. no need to nerf this.
shocking aura, seriously? who cares about WvW, there is no balance anyway and if you don’t attack you don’t get stunned…
8.5s attunement cooldowns, i don’t really see a problem with those either.
things that need to be addressed are:
- instant burns from cleansing fire, they need reduction in stacks
- might from cantrips, need reduction in stacks
- blinding ashes blind, needs to proc on X stacks of burning
- drake’s breath damage is applied too fast, less stacks, longer duration or -1s per pulse
I totally agree with Jekkt. Nerf burning, not the ele. Those slights changes will not destroy the class because of mama kids crying.
Nerf condi, ele OP, i want a win button… Always the same bs.
Stop going berk and start thinking on counter acting against this type of damage. People needs to stop crying and start thinking with their brains.
People are always complaining.
The mentality we players have in gw2 regarding balancing is completely different than in the other popular pvp games (specially mobas). We have ‘our’ profession which should be viable in any team constellation no matter what the opponents are playing.
In e.g. lol/dota/smite the players would try to counterpick and try to get a viable, well balanced team constellation. In gw2: we are crying when we get killed from condi damage even tho we chose to use a build without a single condi remove.
Exactly. People are always complaining… Cough cough… Burning on D/D Ele…
People MUST change their mind to a more open point of view. If not, we will continue in this endless loop of OP cry bla bla thingy
Daggers
- Reduce Dragon Claws Damage per Hit from 127 to 120 and reduce the Power Formula Calculator for 3,75 to 3,5. Increase its Range from 400 to 600.
- Burning Speed rechar Time from 15 to 30s and increase the Activation Time from 3/4s to 1s. Reduces the Range from 600 to 450.
Set the Base Damage from 679 to 500, Increases the Fire Wall Damage from 34 to 75. Remove the Evade Effect, add the Effect of Windborne Speed into this Skill, granting Swiftness and removing Chill/Immobilize.
- Ring of Fire Recharge Time s increased from 15 to 30s, Duration increased from 5s to 10s.
I don’t see this necessary, along with some other changes you are proposing. You are not balancing the class. With this kind of changes you are not focusing on the issue but nerfing the entire ele.
