Guild Wars 2

Ele elites are just sad. Elites are suppose to be game changing in pvp, nothing game changing about ele elites. How many of those that pvp with an ele would prefer a utility slot over the current elites, I bet 90% atleast. I know I would in a heartbeat. The dumbest part is the fact that it takes so much more effort to play an ele well in pvp than most classes. Talk about High risk, what reward

To use your elite to run….. You do know that it is suppose to be an elite right?! Just face it, ele elite is garbage compared to other classes.

For the pve side of the house, does it really take that much skill to kill brainless AI? Its fun but the skill level is so different.

Let me elaborate, we wait 6months for this piece of kitten patch. No game modes no change to leader boards, same bugs if not even more bugs now. I mean really anet what were you guys doing these past 6 months, cause from the looks of it you were not listening to the community at all. Besides you getting the balance of certain classes totally wrong which i wont get in to.

Just a worthless pile of kitten patch. I do not really ever post on these forums but I am so frustrated as many others are im sure to watch this game just get so stale and rotten. I understand I do not have to play this game but I really did have high hopes that you guys would come around and this game would be great as it should be.

But i must say whoever is leading this game design and making or not making needed changes should step down and give some one else a chance, someone that is more in touch with pvp and what makes games fun, and competitive. I think the reason you haven’t come out with games modes is like i said above use do not know your own game there is no proper public testing, nothing.

I remember you guys said awhile back you didn’t want to do whack a mole balancing and so on, well what the hell do you call this trash that’s all we get is whack a mole rock paper scissor balancing it just unreal. This is just my opion and i wanted ot get it out there take it for what you will i am sure some people will agree and some will not, but more changes need to come in a hurry for this game to ever be what it could and should have been already.

I have to agree with you, it has gotten kittened

If you want an easy win in spvp, Ele is definitely not the class to play. Probably the most difficult class to play with same reward. It does say a lot when you can own with an Ele because there is much more skill involved than any other class. I would say engi would be close to being complicated because of the kits but they have way more flexibility in terms of builds. Not as many with Ele, sad truth…

Id totally be up for nerfing its duration in pvp. As long as that nerf came with a shorter cast time/cd + usable on the move + faster projectile, just like most of the other cc in game. Oh and buff the 1 and 2 skills too.

Deal?

I’m on board with this idea 100%

What an awesome thread! lmao

watering it down eh?
who said anything about fire skills? i didnt, they are perfectly animated. (kinda too perfect when compared to everything else)
who said anything about focus skills? i didnt, they got descent animation.
actually where did i said anything about builds? l2p or read your self all you want

all i said, LS (i know about switching to air is part of burst) should have decent animation (at least not the same as BS fs..) because current counter play is throwing random dodge rolls and praying.

and please dont balance this game around thief. this got us nowhere in 2 years.

After this comment, I realize how troll this thread is. No longer worth my 2 copper, have a good day.

In terms of being skillful, it requires more skill to play an ele than most of the classes. There’s just not a lot of passive builds you can play with ele that will help the noobs. So lets not dumb the class down more. Thats why I dislike people complaining about stuff like, this or ice bow, LMAO. Its whatever, some people are good at gaming and some aren’t, just surprised how much Anet has dumb down this game since launch. The cheese is so strong nowadays…..

Im not saying that they should nerf fresh air builds but I made a long pause, almost a year, made an ele for PvP and the only build that I could handle after such a long pause was fresh air.

I understand but to increase the cast times is essentially a nerf. The fact that it has insta cast is probably the only chance they have against thief’s. Even with insta cast, thief’s can still drop ele’s pretty quickly. I’m just using the thief as an example.

Sizer.5632:

I dont get the hate on obsidian flesh, its just a different version of endure pain (which still lets wars contest points for whatever reason). A cast time wouldnt make it useless but i dont see why it should have one when most invuln skills are instant.

Hating on all the instant cast abilities i understand, but this game has never been 100% about animations. If you want to make it so youd have to overhaul eles, and make a lot of changes to thieves, guards, engies, in fact basically everyone but warriors.

Just be glad youre being hit by a class you can see instead of an 8k backstab out of thin air

I agree, keep in mind they don’t have nearly as much HP and toughness like the warrior. I don’t see why people complain about it.

This is a L2P issue. Its high risk, hi reward, very skill based.

I’d agree on the first 2, but not the 3rd. It’s really not all that skillful to press 1-3 and the occasional gale + dragon’s tooth. It isn’t brain dead but its not skillful either.

If you get hit by gale and dragons tooth, then its an L2P issue. Dragon tooth is probably the longest animation next to churning earth. I mean if you don’t see a big red thing about to fall on you and can’t react in that amount of time, then I have no comment. So many things you can do to counter it, block, blind, invuln, dodge, teleport out… I mean get creative with it.

This is a L2P issue. S/F ele is so squishy with what16k hp max, and thats giving up more damage and less than 2k toughness. Its high risk, hi reward, very skill based. Its post like these that just kills the game.

Let me guess, you want more cheese builds? I can see you losing to ele with a cheese build and instantly head to forums and complain. Maybe we should give ele’s more AI? Or even give ele the ability to go invis and call it wind. Seriously though, more cast time…. way to try and kill a class that probably has the highest learning curve right next to engi. Just leave them alone and L2P

Icha!!!

I will try the build some more, I just think the ranger class just hates me

Good write up!

I haven’t been playing in months and a friend of mine was mentioning a patch was going down today. Only to look at the patch notes and was I surprised……… Not a bit Another let down, at least it wasn’t to bad since I haven’t played.

So sad…..
