One of the biggest issues for me is the progression of PvP is just slow. It should not be taking this long to fine tune bugs, exploits ect… We should have more skills/weapons/sigils/runes ect… to choose from by now. There should be more modes/tourny’s in game, not 3rd party tournys with no incentives. Also, I will say it again. EU and Na servers should all be combined for cross play.
What does “ect” stand for according to you?
Yeah i get only 500/200 games or 200/500 games where in both cases I might as well go afk and the result will be the same regardless.
Now look again at what happens if you blurred frenzied or even pressed f4, when he lightning flashed.
mesmer: 1 skill goes on cd
ele: all earth and air damage skills and all utilities go on cdyep, the elementalist is perfectly viable
Funny how you can defend that this type of damage is balanced. It isnt always possible to evade an attack.
Because 3.25s cast time is instant, right?
Use eyes.
Yea and if you miss 1 dodge youre instantly dead. No other class in the game can accomplish ANYTHING like this. This type of damage is a completely other ballpark than any other ability in the game. And pls, dont come at me claiming that you always dodge whenever youre about to take damage because thats pure nonsense.
Most people are just bad at games and blame the game design rather than their own skills.
Quoted for truth. Elementalist at the current moment have an absolutely amazing kit: mobility, damage mitigation, self-healing, and burst damage. The problem is that most of the Ele community is still singing the ‘oh poor me Elementalists are such trash’ song.
Remember, people, it took weeks before anyone realized that Warriors were really really strong after they got buffed. All it’s gonna take is one high-level Elementalist player with a cool frag video to make the masses realize that Ele’s are back in business!
Can you please go back to the warrior forums ? If you don’t know what you’re talking about you have no business here.
As for the op, The guy was probably running double arcane, it can 1 shot light armor classes. but once the combo is done the ele is finished, he has no sustainability what so ever and he used all of his burst already in that 1 combo. So if you happen to dodge it I can almost guarantee you, you’ll win 99% of the time.
Also, not a lot of ele’s can pull this off, it requires a lot actions per minute, so if you see a ele do this, you can be pretty sure he’s an experienced player.
Yes it was exactly like in that video. That burst got me from 100 => 0 % health. Thanks for posting the video because it really seemed that people thought the 0.5 second i mentioned was an exaggeration, which it wasnt.

I play mesmer and i once again got instantly killed by an ele. He zapped at me and killed me with 2 sequential hits. I am not exaggerating here, 2 hits is all it took and they both occurred within a 0.5 sec time span. So what part of instagibbing, or in other words, a damage output that equals 23 k in 0.5 sec => 46 k/sec is not viable in pvp?
Because damage does not equal viability otherwise everyone would run zerker ammy and you can pick classes blind folded and go in.
You where killed quickly and you state once again. If you really feel glass ele is a big concern in PvP then you can look up on youtube how to blow people up quickly but that doesn’t make ele viable running full glass. You aren’t familiar with how the damage is done to you so your looking for answers I assume. Which is the ele probably has 1 maximum utility dedicated to survival if you avoid the opening you can probably kill or pressure the ele well.
Viability in PvP is about roles if we are talking about s/tPvP. You can run glass ele with 12k hp no armor and kill people quickly yes and then probably die. You could just take a thief that might not kill as instantly but can do it more frequently with much less of the risk. So you take the thief.
Thank you for the post, finally something a bit constructive.
This is pretty funny considering the number of tools mesmers have to avoid burst.
I am not denying mesmers can burst. But if the battle is over before your first clone can fire once it doesnt really help does it.

I play mesmer and i once again hit sword 2 and evaded for 2.5s, mitigating the 115k damage zap zap that the omgwtfpwnOP ele was trying to do. Then i dodged twice and hit f4 and mitigated another 138k damage. Then he ran away. omg. dodge button op. must nerf!
Its hilarious how you think im exaggerating in my post. Im not. I died within 0.5 sec time, period. And if that guy can do it, others can do it too, hence my question, what exactly is not viable about ele’s? But i guess the post above this 1 sums it up.
Go make a full glass ele and run around trying to burst people down. Oh, save up some gold for your repair fee hmm?
So the fact that you supposedly die relatively fast justifies the damage output that equals 5 hambow warriors?
Lmfao! A mesmer that got 2 shotted by an ele?
You have Sword #2 to evade their updraft + burning speed + fire grab combo. Distortion to get your hp up. You also have invisibility skills: Decoy, Veil. mass invis? You could also use blink to escape. You simply got outplayed and need to l2p.
I think you didnt read. There was no battle between me and the ele at all. Because i died in LITERALLY 0.5 sec.

At the time i was wearing an axe + shield and longbow. This is for spvp btw.
With runes of the lyssa. Ive heard that you can almost one shot thieves with eviscerate but 600 damage crits are hardly a scratch.
im currently specced 20/0/20/30 with a hammer.
Im new to playing a warrior(playing since yesterday) and Ive found myself to be completely obliterated by mesmers.
Now that we are at it, ive also tried playing with an axe because ive heard eviscerate does high damage. But when I tried it out I was hitting people for 250 damage with it when having full adrenaline so im not sure if ppl are trolling when they say its high damage?
I mean, i literally couldnt kill an AFK enemy warrior with the axe as mainhand, his passive heal outhealed my damage.
Is there anything a warrior can do in pvp against mesmers?
They kill me in less than 2 seconds and I dont even get to damage them AT ALL before I die.
Must be good to be you. I cant kill anyone 1v1 with my hammer warrior.
Thanks a lot. Ill be checking each and every one of those links!
Hello, I am new to gw2 pvp(gw2 in general) and Ive been searching for up to date pvp guides for this game. Unfortunately everything i have found dates back several months and my understanding is a lot has changed since then. Do such sources even exist? And if not, what would be the best way of learning this game’s pvp? ive played a few matches as a guardian before but didnt really understand much of it. i seem to be extremely susceptible to kiting and no ways to counter it as far as I know.
Thanks

Hello, I am fairly new to gw2.
From what I can tell by reading the forums, the guardians role in PVP is to heal? Can it be compared to the paladin in WoW?
Thanks
