I personally play D/D ele as my main PvP profession. I almost never lose 1v1s and usually down someone than die in a 2v1. Most other eles I fight are (not being offensive, just honest) really bad. Their traits aren’t in sync with their utilities or their play style or their amulet.
I went 1v1 with another D/D ele that was fairly good. I still beat him as a result of the difference in skill levels. But when I played a Confusion mesmer with the right utilities, I lost over and over and over again. No chance. I also regularly 1v1 my Survival ranger friend, and no matter how perfectly I execute my ~9 skill burst, landing each skill and critting on some, I can’t kill him. Also, I play against my guild leader every once in a while, and those are the fights I love. He’s the standard Sword/Shield and Greatsword spec, but he’s good with it. Sometimes I beat him, sometimes he beats me. It’s really all skill and the build against it.
For the Bach comment above, it’s true. But the difference is warriors and mesmers can burst much more often than eles. Eles main dmg is from fire skills, burning, and churning earth. For fire skills and burning, you gotta be up close to your enemy. A simply dodge roll will get you to safety from a fire burst. Churning earth: if you can’t evade that when you have 50% endurance, no wonder why you’re losing.
Weakness: Confusion, enemy survival, condition after condition removal and switching from Water Attunement
Strength: Nice burst, nice kiting, great survival
That’s my 2 cents.
When going to “speak to Rtylock in his office at the top of Imperator’s Core” (the 3rd sub-point of the Thicker Than Water quest), the door to Rytlock’s office does not open, but the character is still able to walk through it and continue the quest.
