This whole “they added the core game for free” is a cop-out, if the core game is only worth 10$ then charge me 40 for the expansion and i’m happy. That’s like selling a remote for 1000$ and throwing in the tv for free, doesn’t change the fact that i paid 1000$ for a tv when i simply wanted a new remote for my existing tv (same model). It still means new players are getting a better deal than me and i’m a veteran from beta with more than 2000hrs played, and i’ve spent 100s and 100s of dollars in the gem store, give me a freakin deal cause as it stands i’m not buying HoT. I could be underestimating the size and scope of HoT but i doubt it, if HoT was a bulky expansion with tons of new maps, gear etc then i’d def consider it but it just seems to be lacking, maybe some testers can shed some light. Anyways thx the for the 3 years of fun anet i really enjoyed your game and i’ll still pop in once and a while until Star Citizen goes live but then it’s over.

I have played ele in every form since beta but am currently on a glass canon high. extremely difficult to play if u have poor positioning skills but man does it melt groups fast. in pve its really quite easy to stay alive, in wvw i follow enemy zergs and pick off stragglers and rain fire from the atop the walls. I personally love high risk builds on staff and do not follow meta here. Dont care what build u have, if u and ur group stand in my meteor shower its over. No one does though lol. But those 1 or 2 hits u absorb while trying to dodge out brings most down below half health. I find it fun being someone who cannot be ignored. I wont post builds so dont ask. im just answering the question…yes ele is worth playing, def alot of fun to be had. I will say that im heavy fire build with might stacking. I only attun swap with purpose. ie water field for group, earth and air for control, then right back to fire to melt faces.

If u like frontline then def go hammer guard. Blast finisher every 4 sec is just fun and ppl will love u for the might, swiftness, heals on water (tidal wave animation is just awesome) and so on. No one blasts better.

Why use Gliders if we have Waypoints in HoT?

Because the jungle will be a vertical map…why would u not WANT to glide through the jungle from the treetops.?

Id like to see:

Warrior (Gunslinger): pistols
Thief (sniper): rifle
Guardian (Dark knight): Axes
Elementalist (Battle mage): Greatsword

Also 2h axe would be interesting.
