Guild Wars 2

I’d much rather have an android communicator than a live tile for windows 8.

I want the possibility to concentrate on one task – I am a man and I can’t do two things at once. I like the mechanic with all the attunement swapping and all but really all I want is my GW1 elementalist in GW2 – massive fire damage coupled with energy battery.

I don’t like water nor earth and to some degree air.

PS. I am a purely PvE player.

What was wrong with GW1 elementalist? Focus on what you wanted to play and become good at it. Here its just “QUICK SWITCH TO THAT SO YOU CAN CHAIN THIS THEN BACK AND HOPE YOU DON’T MISS A SKILL!” <<< one mistake and you are dead.

Well I invested in a half glass cannot half defense (with toughness) sort of build, am pretty survivable and still do decent damage. But that’s only for PvE.

Broken on Ring of Fire as well.

To me the whole class is broken, in all RPG/MMOs I’ve played I ALWAYS play the heavy damage fire wizard type. In GW2 the most broken part for me personally are the traits, distribute them all you like they barely make a difference. In GW1 it was much more important to distribute your attribute points correctly depending on what you wanted to make as a build.

And I’m sorry but removing ALL the skills from GW1 and replacing them with a total of 25ish skills in GW2 is just plain wrong. The amount of diversity is very limited no matter what weapon combinations you do and lets face – there are only two that work to a point(staff and d/d).

Perhaps I’m too used to the old ways of wizard classes, but the first thing that came to mind when I rolled my elementalist is “Jack of all trades – master of NONE” and it certainly holds true the more you level up.

Dear GreenZap,

The problem most people have with elementalists is their broken role in he game. Up to about level 60-70 you’ll pretty much have no problems surviving in most zones and areas. However past that level its a death sentence no matter what build you use or if you make one or two mistakes.

High-level people in here (including myself) have is the ele is broken by design in its conception. See in most games (GW1 included) wizard types (especially with fire) classes do massive amounts of damage while being easily killed. In GW1 this is most clearly visible when you do some exploring around the shiver peaks region (Droknar’s Forge areas), an every day normal player with a party of henchmen could roam the area and do okayish without dying. The henchmen would take most of the direct hits and he’d just sit back and pump out damage, if he was an inexperienced player he’d pull too much and have his party die.

In GW2 thats the core problem people are experiencing, they play the class that should do the most damage without crazy ninja moves and incredible luck(lets face it everybody makes a mistake from time to time). At the moment if you make ONE little slip and you die no question about it.

Annnnndddd he’s got enough material to draw til the end of the year

Am I doing it wrong?

I don’t mean to be rude, but compared to an elementalist you guys have it easy.

And if even one of my words is wrong then do please SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT ArenaNet, I’d love to see your comment on my thoughts and your disgrace towards this once beautiful class.

Ahem…. I don’t mean to spoil the trollfest in here, but compared to what the elementalist was capable of in GW1 all of this is just a tiny speck on the windshield.

Why do people think the whole game is just PvP or WvW? I’ve yet to play a game in PvP or WvW.

Now to get back on track – this whole discussion is a worthless piece of blabber talk. The OP has his opinion and so do you.

With all the topics in this section only one thing sparks out:
1. Elementalists are pale creatures that deserve nothing but death – clearly stated by ArenaNet.
2. Elementalists are broken in ALL cases – the one semi-half working build you can conjure up gets demolished if you make even a single mistake.
3. Elementalists have a life outside PvP and WvW and your room… err pardon basement.
4. Having four auras a a bunch of weapons with different skills doesn’t make this class anywhere near vibrant as it used to be IN THE GOOD OLD GAME THEY DESTROYED.

So again please let this miserable class die and make a mockery of all things GuildWars – the new World of Warcraft of simpletons and grinders.

Hey Fishbait I hope you don’t mind me posting this on → http://9gag.com/gag/5407896/

Clearly you’ve never seen them balance GW1, pretty much daily balancing til they got it sorted.

And who’s going to return my time leveling up a broken class?

Personally I’d like to see the elementalist removed from the game, its just not working and it will NEVER be fixed considering they’d have to basically redesign it from the ground up.

I don’t understand what was wrong with GW1 elementalism, it gave people the choice of what they wanted to specialize and MASTER. In GW2 its just a jack of all trades and master of NONE.

Don’t get me wrong I think GW2 superb in its world design and mission design, but for me its like a back stab at the moment.

ArenaNet you destroyed my elementalist dreams from GW1 when you did THIS SHAMEFUL THING CALLED AN “ELEMENTALIST” IN GW2.
