Guild Wars 2

DD cele needed a nerf in PvP.

Might nerf was necessary as well to get rid of the easy power stacking dps of tanky classes (hambow / cele ele / engi / etc)

Stow wep spam was obviously a necessary fix.

tl;dr: Balance patches based off PvP mostly, they look at the PvP cele meta.

I agree make

RTL 2 minute CD Base, 4 minute CD if it doesnt hit.
Burning Speed: 1 minute CD Base, 2 minute CD if it doesnt hit.

While we’re at it, lets just make RTL and Burning speed not move you at all.

As much as I appreciate advice, Lotus, I am not a PvPer…I said so in my post. Your suggestions relate to PvP. I run dungeons and fractals so I am not sure how useful a single dose of poison would be for mobs? Energy might be helpful but maybe something is better?

For PvP yeah, I can easily see those suggestions as being ones to pick though.

Sigil of Night + Sigil of Force

Battle + Energy: GvG / Group Roam / 5v5s / 1vOutnumbered
Battle + Doom: Duels / solo roam

mmmm Popcorn.

I’d thought I would share a build too! (I don’t actually use it though, kitten celestial)
And QQ Anet y u add +10 base stats.

Stooperdale.3560:

This could be a bonus from WvW.

WvW doesn’t increase specific stats such as Power/precision/vitality/toughness, they do however increase the overall %hp.

Power / Precision / Vitality / Toughness base stats have all been increased from 916 —> 926 since the patch.

Not sure if bug or intended.

One of my extra builds:

Here is my build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQJAoYhcMKc24wzBd0AdAB5zqvRBlvXnB-TJxHwADeAAa2fAwJAoYZAA

1. Battle + Doom.
2. Renewing Stamina + Elemental Attunement.
3. Dodge.

Step by step process.

1. Post your own build to critique.
2. Trash that build and get glassier.
3. Out damage healing signet and blocks.
4. Dodge whatever is needed to be dodged…….(Hammer / eviscerate / etc)
5. Use Stab.
6. Use Signet of Restoration.
7. Stop using soldiers and knights gear.

What do you feel about runes of Rage / Pack
or Traveler to free up 1 utility?

PU mesmers are easy.

#D/F.

1. Elementalist
2. Ranger
3. Mesmer

That would be way too strong unless you add ICD’s to on swap procs (lightning 15 / water 15 / fury / etc)…….which creates a whole other set of problems.

Hmm, guess I’ll just RnG it.

Race change contract

Name change swap contract

Race change contract

Name change swap contract

……..I wish.

This turns me on.

D/F:

Same build as you use for D/D……..I go 0/10/10/20/30

S/F:

Same build as you use for S/D.
I don’t use scepter.

Hills you say?

Hey you, I like my focus. Pls.

Also, obviously I’m talking about how to obtain in Pvp.

http://www.gw2db.com/items/54189-spirit-chalice

Anyone know how to obtain this focus?

What happened to MEND’s pro bunkering skillz?

Why so sad?

Pewpew.

Elementalist……….Said no one.

I am still undefeated with it in duels

The BEST d/d build ever made, period.

This build offers massive survivability and damage all in one package, which is perfect for small group play and to an extent zergs. By constantly blasting off ring of fire with earth dodge, 4, and 5, you can stack ludicrous amounts of might. By playing intelligently, you would be an ele with permanent uptime on all boons except protection (this still has pretty long uptime) and stability, giving you 4k power and 1.2k condition damage to go with your survivability.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEEQJAoYhImmbyR3wjDAEFucyQRIbUekzM2A-jkCBYfI4hBkaAksAhCBIJtIaslRFRjVNjIqWnEzkrIa1SBwkyI-w

This build is when you want to simply not die and nothing else. Guaranteed to make you immortal, especially in small group fights where your high survivability, resistance to conditions, and extreme healing makes you a tank to make guardians look bad. Only one issue is lack of damage but, hey, the trade off for immortality is still nice.

you need moar zerker!!!!

and lol zerker / knights / valks does way more dmg than your celestial setup

Dont lie deeez, celestial is the best.

Because Ele is so good in duels.

Lightning flash.

Ele Update:

Black water called me a cheese build.

Jambo i roam mostly in gombl come find me if you would like to fight. Oh and the only times i’ve died this week in 1v1 situations were to heavy cond spam necros until i learned how to deal with them which is somthing you should do, your not gona get better by qqing on the forums about perplexity runes and conditions.

lol most of hod and SF know who i am i was from nsp and also ur coming at me yet u cant beat a condi bomb necro? once they let out all there condi burst they are just a sitting duck just pop null field and clean it up and i do believe i never said i had problem with condi builds unless u add perplexity to it cuz if ur smart about the runes ur not just going off conf ur going off all the other condi’s u can stack like burning,bleeding,torment and on top of that the stunlock spam and easily stacked conf from perplexity and ill gladly hunt u down what guild are u from? ill make sure to camp u like i do to everyone else that talks kitten on these forums im over here talking about perplexity being op stacked with other condi’s and u cant even handle a condi necro u add perplexity to any class that can stack condi’s easily and that conf makes u a sitting duck to all the other condi dmg sitting on u.

Stopped reading at the underlined text. Never heard of you.

u must be new to VLK then cuz when i was on NSP i fought VLK alot at fight clubs and its all good cuz i never heard of u either

Never heard of you.

Does every engi on AR and HoD run perplexity?

That’s coming from BS? I have yet to meet an engi from your guild that doesn’t lol

So lets see, we have:

Me: I use Lyssa.

Whiper: Uses Might Duration.

Beny: Who the kitten knows, he has like 20 armor sets.

BB: Hasn’t been on.

Ends: Hasn’t been on.

Quantum: He might, but I haven’t ran with him recently.

…What other engis do we have?

OP Nerf. Thanks.
You better bring the duels, or I will be mildly upset with you.

Ty for loot. I’m still looking for duels.

If anyone wants to duel / set up an earlier fight club, pm me. I can provide VLK people for duels (including me).

MO DUELS. FIGHTCLUB NOW YAKS BEND BL

COME DUEL THE UGLY PLANT

Fightclub tonight (thursday) at 9PM EST, 6PM Server Time.
Yaks Bend BL, at South Camp near windmill.

Standard fight club rules apply etc etc etc.

Finally get to host one now that kitten mend isn’t here.

SQLOwns.7316:

Hate to break it to you, but you’re not going to have fun in WvW as a D/D ele. That build has just been nerfed too much. Any decent player you run into 1v1 will likely kill you or force you to run away. Either way you’re probably not going to kill them. Find a group in WvW and run with them, leave the soloing to the Thieves, Mesmers, Warriors, Guardians, Necros, and Rangers. happy gaming.

Uhh……I excell in 1v1 with my ele.

Thanks for the fight club tonight. Had fun dueling.

melodey.4652:

Well done HoD, may we meet again someday. I’ll bring the wine, you bring the flowers. Until then, I hope you won’t take offense if we hope to mess around with some other servers for awhile. The player got played. At least hoardes of DH were compensated by their lucrative LS gold farming. I’ll go home to empty pockets and a week of terribad roaming, cue single tear.

Good luck to [mend] and [VLK], two guilds that brought the good fight. Also: next time I’d like a legit fight club night with you guys, our ghetto dueling grounds in the canyon near bay wasn’t exactly optimal. Fewer condi necros and moar Winter, plz and thank you <3

Mo Duels? Mo Winter? I like you already.

As part of HoD, I apologize for the rude actions of [Mend].

Big news everyone I witnessed Bamf giving birth. Looks like a girl.

Congrats Bamf

edit: check out that creeper in the back.

So that’s who that warrior is……Why didn’t you say anything.
Btw i want brothers and sisters Bamf, better get on it.
