“Hello all, sorry for the lack of responses here, but the team has been away for the Holidays. We are back now and although we can’t tell you exactly what is happening, just know that we hear you all and we are currently pushing for a big PvP patch in the future that will bring big changes that I think you will all be VERY excited about.”

Then, February will hit and here will be the PvP changes:

• Changed Ranger underwater downed skill 2 from 2 second CD to 3 second CD
• Changed Warrior underwater Speargun skill 3 to be more in line with other classes 3 skill for underwater
• Added a new animation to the Tiger Finisher
• Updated /rank to be more visible in crowded areas
• Removed the .25 CD on mesmer shatters and now added Mind Wrack to cause Burning as well.

That’s gold, Jerry! GOLD!

It’s not the fact that they fixed that I have a problem with. It’s the fact that those exact skills they fixed have been bugging constantly since beta stunning the user (for 3 months now, reported a thousand times) and they only fix their latest imbalance instead of fixing the skills completely. That’s the problem.

Then we’re on the same page; nothing else to do here beside waiting and see what changes / improves.
Though I personally don’t think anything major is gonna happen for quite a few more months.

Enjoy the game.

The fix is welcomed!
I just hate to see how people always complain when an advantageous bug gets fixed fast.

Why on Earth,Fire,Water and Air would you want to abuse a clear bug like 1min fury&swift&prot and instant full reset att. cd ?

Also:
EA fix was a good fix.
On a personal note: EA is not fun, EA is kitten – storm in roll = profit. EA with blasts on every attunement was full kitten

I don’t want to sir up spirits with this reply, but some of us need a tweak when it comes to fair game-play.

if you insist you can make it proc from Zephyr’s boon, but it’s really random like 1 out of 20, it’s a bug.

I’m confused, a few weeks ago everyone thought we were underpowered… whats changed????

I’m gonna let you in on a little secred and tell you what changed: nothing.

Only change we got is having more people using D/D because of the EA-bug-then fix.
There were so many guys running God-mode staff-spam-heal-EA and scepter 25xmight stack-lets-roll-in the ring’o’fire, that you couldn’t notice D/D elementalists.

D/D eles have been like this always, but lately more people started to play & master it.

One thing has changed, that not many will notice though, they stealth-changed burning speed (3 skill fire), so it works more like updraft (5 skill air).
After you use it you are repositioned facing the closest enemy, usually the one you burn while using the skill, thus making landing fire grab (5 skill fire) less complicated; until a little while ago you had to turn with your mouse to land it in this combo.

I really enjoyed Huttball in swtor, it was a refreshing new game for a change, though I think a similar concept can’t be applied to the current state of the GW2 game, it would bring up alot of balancing issues.
