Guild Wars 2

…where we can all have a fair fighting chance.

These are the things I personally feel are quite one sided:

A) Low level scaled up to lvl 80 vs a real lvl 80

B) 1 v 1 of any class of equal skill

Other suggestion / ideas:

1) Not one person should be allowed / able to kill another under 10secs, regardless of build / items / level.

2) Not one person should be allowed / able to hit harder than a siege weapon, with the exception to the arrow cart since it is not shooting arrows/boulders that are larger than your body at you.

Looks like this somewhat mediocre spell just got upgraded to a useless spell

One question:

Assuming the guy has no stability, and you don’t have blind. Can you use your 2nd ability to avoid a stomp? Do I hear a yes?

Let me tell you, there is a profession in the game that cannot interrupt a stomp. Warriors are far more fortunate than some.

I can see that different people have different view points and arguments, but the problem here is very fundamental. He did MORE damage than a SIEGE weapon, which do you think hurts more? Getting stabbed by a knife or getting crushed by a piece of boulder flying through the air?

After seeing you using one of the only viable builds, I stopped watching. Extremely high hp (20k) and rather pathetic looking damage numbers.

Wulfrim.4793:

The strongest point with a elementalists is they have the most powerful downed abilities. Sure they are useless 90% of the time but if you down another opponent at the exact same time or even a few seconds after he downs you then you will come out victorious because your mist form resets your down meter to 50%. Your elemental also doesn’t go away while downed so be sure to use that ice elemental!

The strongest? Please come back and tell us that it is the strongest AFTER you have been able to stop a first stomp like every other profession is able to.

There is a need of updating in your information, some are outdated.

E.g. Mistform only lasts 3 secs now, and it does not remove cripple.

While it is true you can use it while reviving an ally / stomping, I have noticed that casting of glyph of renewal is now interrupted by it.

I also noticed you lack info on glyph of renewal, I am unsure if this is a bug but sometimes it uses the element you are in at the start of casting. Note sometimes, sometimes it acts like other spells and uses the last attunement you are in. You can use glyph of renewal WHILE moving

Here’s how to use it, locate dead ally → go into Earth → start casting glyph of renewal before you reach them → cast magnetic aura for assurance → use stability for 100% certainty → 3 happy allies.

Sure they were mostly masterwork items, but did anyone else get lvl 48 items?

Romke’s Final Voyage, the part where you kill the risen crew is RIDICULOUS to play as an elementalist. Died 3 times just to kill TWO guys, and I am already killing them one after another and not together!

SPAM?? Lol, look at the combat log. That one spell dealt enough damage that it would kill me outright anyway…

Even if I am naked, the damage should not go over 5k, maybe 10k if its a critical hit. But 17k is ridiculous!

He does more damage than a trebuche or catapult, that’s just wrong.

You know, to get that email about someone logging in from some place MEANS that they have your password right? Why didn’t you change your password? You claim the world is against you, but the one who is trying to hurt you is yourself!

Also, WALL OF TEXT is the worst way to ask for help.

Um…. Lol……….. I am currently on a short business trip on the other side of the planet, and not only am I able to dodge things like your average mob’s attacks, pre-nerfed dungeon bosses, players shooting at me in WvW, Eternal battle ground jumping story turret dodge, personal story….

I can admit that sometimes I die, but dodging them is entirely possible. All you need to do is either guess when you opponent is doing something hence dodging 2 secs in advance, or just dodge 2 secs in advance in general. :P Can’t wait till I get back home!

I have been looking through the forums for each profession, and I have found (not) to my surprise that the Elementalist forum is the only forum that is currently being bombarded by these “survivability threads”.

Design
Sure the class is ‘designed’ to be a ‘spell caster’ and by doing so means that they are vulnerable to enemy attacks in exchange for high damage output, BUT that does not seem like the case.

Damage
I (and many others) have been subject to attacks that are well over 6k, I can not know if these are crits for other people but in my case these are NORMAL attacks that go above 6k. So heres a question, has any other Elementalists here ever dealt a NORMAL 6k damage? I don’t mind if I have to use an Elite spell just to be able to do a single attack that is equivalent to some other profession’s normal skills/utlity, but please could I/we actually have one?

Heal
I have been looking into to maximise our healing potential (on ourselves), and I have noticed something very strange on some other forums E.g. Mesmer. People there were saying how the human racial heal (Prayer to Dwayna) was a lesser choice simply because the mesmer’s own is so much larger, I am not sure about this since my Mesmer is not human but it would be nice if someone else can tell me abou this. For an Elementalist, sure our own heal is larger than to the racial but ONLY when attuned to water AND it’s not even that much. With our own skill we have to wait for the over time heal to tick (subject to removal by enemy) which is highly undesirable in a desperate situation, on the other hand you can get a comparable heal to our own max heal IN ONE GO.

Personal Story
Since this is a PERSONAL story, I try my best to do this on my own as the name suggests but heres the problem. Frequently I/we are met with incredibly tough mobs, sure we get a sidekick but upon AOEing a group of mob on your trusty friend all hell unleashes. Now you have may be 10 mobs running at you, we can dodge/slow but here really is a limit when in our personal story we are sometimes cramped up in a tiny area (cave). Let me put this in perspective, a non-trait upgraded staff(5-Meteor Shower) AOE can quite frankly cover the whole room. OK, so whats the message here? I/we are given a profession that is described as above (first line), I/we are then expected to be able to keep distances/dodge from mobs (some veterans) in a tiny area. I’m not even talking about the range mobs that come accompanying these melee mobs, but for fun lets think about it. So you are being chased by say 5 mobs of which 1 is a veteran and another will knock you down if close enough, and then you have 2 to 3 mobs standing at the cave entrance shooting at you. As many of us would have noticed, the mobs like to ignore all your npc allies who seems so important and yet not on the enemy’s top wanted list. The game is very logical in my cases, so I would like to ask this: Given the choice of shooting one of your enemy’s heroes/leading figures or some random hero who just recently made their name. Who would you shoot first? Sure the hero may be a big threat in the future BUT we don’t know that yet, on the other hand you have a 100% threat e.g. Rytlok/Logan/Eir.

Just some thoughts
