Guild Wars 2

Gust (and Shockwave) suffers from the same unreliability to hit due to projectile speed. Since the scepter skill is buffed, couldn’t the same be applied to those skills as well?

I doubt there’ll be changes based on feedback so let’s get working on new builds. My sPvP ele’s gonna lose about 4 stacks of might from the Sigil of Battle nerf (140 power) and another 30 from the remaining stacks…that’s 170 power. Any idea how I can compensate that? I mean, it’s not like I’m winning many duels with my staff ele as it is…so any advice would be appreciated.

What do you mean exactly? Ele’s current have the highest dps by about a 10% margin. Thieves can do slightly higher burst, but they don’t have the sustain.

Plus the might nerf effects all classes, it probably hurts warriors the most.

Eles rely on Sigil of Battle more than any other profession, so they’re hit the hardest.

Also, they may do 10% more damage but they only have 50% of the survivability of other professions. Equalizing that means they’re losing their only advantage.

Also, while d/d eles are compensated, staff eles are (again) nerfed because the other specs are a problem.

A good nerf would have been a damage reduction of conjure frostbow.

Direct damage. Conditions are more of a bonus for eles than something to build around.

Not saying it can’t be done, but direct damage is the thing people normally go for.

Anet doesn’t know what to do with eles, it’s not THAT bad tbh- eles aren’t supposed to be front runners anyways, atleast thats what anet seems to make clear

Then what are eles supposed to be? They’re the most squishy, but they’re not allowed to even be among the top damage dealers (let alone the best)?

Chasind.3128:

Yay for buffs, ele nerfs were unnecessary Anet

Second that. Staff skills base damage should be upped to compensate.

I’d even be happy if they just fixed Gust.

All this means is that staff eles get even less damage while still being extremely squishy. I love how those ‘good changes’ always seem to affect eles much more strongly than any other profession.

It’s nice that D/D pvp eles means that staff eles get nerfed bigtime. If anything, eles should now get some extra hp to compensate.

All risk and heaven forbid they get any reward…

If I use FF the search works for me. But with IE 9 it just don’t do anything.

I hope we get some information about this issue soon.
