Guild Wars 2

1 Agree, I played 2500 hours of Gw1 and part of the reason I did was farming endgame FoW, UW. Still sometimes Log in to do a run or two, but I think it needs more than a 5 man party.

Well enough so that they would be about par with rangers, and I bet if anet added the ability to take a perma elemental in PvE almost everyone would, its just to annoying / not fun to dodge everything. I would rather the less dps and a tank pet

Lol, no ele in their right mind would willingly take a damage reduction down so far to be on par with rangers

Haha my brother has an 80 ranger their DPS is kind of low compared to ele’s but I just made up an example it could be better fine tuned to make it even, but I definetly would take that DPS and a permanent Elemental for PvE solo, and just keep a normal build in dungeons and PvP

Elementalists are not intended to have pets, they aren’t a class for that. The reason they don’t need pets to tank for them/aid is because they already have high DPS and in general they stand back as support-DPS instead of front-DPS (Warrior, Guardian). Though GW2 doesn’t really have any tanking system of a kind so I can get where you are coming from.

No Guild wars 1 elementalists were not intended to have pets, but this is gw2 and frankly so much else has changed. They are already one of the best DPS classes in the game and yes Eles are meant to generally stand back and spam fireballs in dungeons and groups, but I found when I played PVE without a party its just plain stupid to aggro more than a few mobs at a time, and I don’t think its too much to ask to at least be able to choose between high dps and medium dps and a tank elemental.

Just levelling up my Elementalist now, very squishy i must admit, but the DPS is insane… you should not need anything else.

I really enjoyed eles in PvP and early game PvE but I found around level 50 areas without a party to tank everything I was dying so much if I didn’t dodge EVERYTHING. I would atleast like the option to sit back and relax while my elemental takes a few blows.

Well enough so that they would be about par with rangers, and I bet if anet added the ability to take a perma elemental in PvE almost everyone would, its just to annoying / not fun to dodge everything. I would rather the less dps and a tank pet

I would really like to see a permanent elemental companion for eles sort of like rangers have pets or necros minions. The option to take a perma elemental for maybe a certain percent Dps penalty would really make me want to play my ele more. Right now I don’t find it fun having to run around dodging everything from fear of getting killed in a few hits. And if you could replace it with the current elemental elite skill.

1. Permanent Elementals for Ele’s

Possibly take a 5 – 10% dps penalty for the option to take a perma companion sort of like a ranger or necro pet. It would give ele’s the option of having a tank and doing a little less damage output so I wouldn’t have to run around in every fight and help with being so easy to kill. The current elementals don’t last long enough.

2. Empty Portal room in L.A link to all dungeons

Would save A LOT of running and spending money fast traveling, would be nice and Coriolis Plaza could have the potential to be made into a Gate room wold be nice.

3. Change Traits for Free!
Why did you take it away? Now there is no way that I can have diversity without having to spend gold and be near a trainer… Please bring it back!

4. Savable Armour Colour Schemes.
Nice addition I think, would let me switch back and forth depending on my mood.

5. Customizable Pet Armour / Dyes
Be able to dye and find/equip armour to pets, would introduce a fun new side objective to find nice gear for your pet. And imagine being able to dye your spider / bear Black.

Leave a comment on what you think.
And I will try to keep on updating this list with ideas that I think GW2 should have.
