Guild Wars 2

All said and done, any healing is better than none. If a group with Ele, Necro, Mesmer, Ranger or Engi or whatever combo group-healed a little when they can it does make things a lot easier all round for the group especially when fighing the big ’uns (Champs etc).

Off topic i know but I miss the total healer class (monk), totally underplayed by a lot but never undervalued in high level areas. A good monk was the most precious player, a bad monk was public enemy no1

Go full Berserker gear. No wonder you’re having problems.

I agree they got hobbled by Anet, but to say they are **** I don’t know. I think Engineers are **** in my mind but I can accept that that is just because I don’t get on well with playing them.

Elementalist is my number 1 character, and always will be. I totally enjoy playing my ele in PvE and WvW from level 1 to 80, depending on the situation I go I generally use Scepter/Dagger solo or Staff in group for group PvE and it’s generally a breeze. Staff for WvW. I don’t play PvP.

Yes I did notice a point in my Elementalists life where when he reached a certain level and I felt as though the level to ability ratio was out of whack.

Apart from 1-1 confrontations with Champions, the Elementalist can take most mobs and Veterans are not a problem, Maybe not a veteran with a mob but 1-1 no problem. I struggle more with my Guardian (also ranger and engi I’m still trying with) than my Elementalist tbh when it comes to mobs but I put that down to my inexperience with Guardians and not settling on weapon sets that suit my play style which I’m working on.

I learnt in GW that Elementalists are super squishy, and generally I play to avoid getting hit whilst hitting as big and bad as I can and generally it pays off.

All of that said, I’d love to see something given back.

I don’t like the idea of giving up my gold for no personal gain as much as the next guy, but I guess I view it as Anets way of keeping this ecosystem balanced.

Like most things if you don’t want to do something you don’t have to, don’t do it. Just ignore the token drops and move on.
