Guild Wars 2

Anet management, nothing surprises me anymore.

Make sure you do not have the assert server listed in your gw2 exe file (I.E remove it) and reopen the launcher.

Welcome back Allie, did you do anything fun on your “break”?

There is no x proffesion counters y in this game. It´s x build can counter y build. So saying mesmers counter warriors is nonsense.

Tier 1:
1. Guardian
2. Mesmer

Tier 2:
3. Engineer
4. Necromancer
5. Warrior

Tier 3:
6. Ranger
7. Elementalist
8. Thief

Fresh Air: The air attunement of the elementalist with its insane instant damage is another thing that leads to an unbalanced game in connection the recharge with fresh air…also in my opinion traits such as fresh air and diamond skin really destroy the elementalist’s playstyle…some time ago ele was used as an allrounder class that can be really supportive while dealing a nice amount of dmg which can be combined in spikes (buffing stealth, might) as well as for supporting allies (swiftness, heal)

Er, have you ever tried fresh air on an ele? It requires alot more depth gameplay then any other build in this game. Also insane instant damage? Are we playing the same game? A full glass ele (62% crit damage)that dies within 5 seconds will crit for 2-3k with Lightning strike. I think you are referring to s/d 1-2 damage? And still the problem with that build is not Fresh Air, but dubble arcane burst.

look outside the box..if they balance the mentioned things the counter classes of elementalist will get nerfed so an elementalist with instant huge burst will be unbalanced thats the reason i would remove or change the fresh air trait

What instant huge burst are you speaking about? Is it s/d 1-2? Problem is still not fresh air but dubble arcane utilities. And even then they barley have half of a backstab thiefs burst (out of stealth).

i think we can all agree that the dmg of ele is fine it just needs more sustain against the current meta classes which would be achieved with the nerfs

Not to be rude but I honestley dont think you have the slighest clue what the problem really is with s/d burst. Now belive me I dont like it either, but atleast Im not going to nerf every ele because of me not understanding what the core problem is. That would be Anet way of balancing (just look at the ele proffession). Instead of nerfing something you dont understand, nerf the actual problem. That has been stated since for ever now. Fresh air only provides eles with sustain damage, not a huge instant burst that you described. That comes from 9 abilitys an s/d ele does (that in some cases insta gib people). But the problem is not fresh air, its the dubble arcane utilities.

i am talking about the nerfs from other classes not the ele nerf

I see my bad, but honestly I dont like it as mutch as you. Im just trying to explain what the problem really is with s/d burst. Dubble arcane utilities promotes brain dead gameplay, as they do instant damage and cant be read from any animation (they just do instant damage) promotes unwanted gameplay.

Soo many clueless people in this thread its amazing.

Since when is a valk ele a glass ele?

Do you really think the risk rewards for the fight was justified?

Ostricheggs dont mind 99% of the people here, they are crap as can be.

Would love to see it.

Did you guys try :

310.33 (Custom – override any pre settings). Then in game, I selected Anti-Aliasing from FXAA to none. Next was to select V-SYNC on. After that i re-anbled Anti-Aliasing to FXAA. And I havent had a black screen since -.-

As I have had all day off work I have been trying alot of diffrent things out to try and solve my black screens. Using a GTX 580.

Does not matter what type of NVIDA driver I try. So what finaly made it work (tried tweaking for ever in MSI afterburner aswell) for me was to install 310.33 (Custom – override any pre settings). Then in game, I selected Anti-Aliasing from FXAA to none. Next was to select V-SYNC on. After that i re-anbled Anti-Aliasing to FXAA. And I havent had a black screen since -.-

I love this idea, the super mario punsh doesent really do it for me

I had the exact same problem after I updated my GW2 game client to the latest version (using a GTX580 SLI) and was running the 3.0.6 beta driver.

What I did to solve it was, I whent back to install 3.0.4.79 Driver. And then I edited the gw2 shortcut with -repair (“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -repair)

Havent crashed since then.
