Guild Wars 2

Hi all, I don’t post often but I am glad to see people speaking up about these changes. I usually roll with the punches of patch notes but there are a few things that I would really NOT like to see go through.

1) Moving Elemental Attunement to a Master tier trait really, really sucks. Quite honestly, that trait is very fun and feels like the core of the Elementalist. The trait is already a mandatory pick up for most builds it feels like but moving in to Master tier really hurts build diversity. Please keep it as an adept tier trait or just make it part of switching attunements tbh. It’s too fun of a trait to not have.

2) With Elemental Attunement now being moved to Master tier, it will share that spot with Renewing Vigor. As the profession with the lowest armor and hp, renewing vigor really helped to keep the dodges up to be used for surviving or utility via Evasive Arcana. As a Scepter user, having Vigorous Scepter as an adept solves my problem but my D/D brethren will take a giant hit in survivability while they are in such close range. Perhaps something can be done with Windborne Dagger to increase endurance regeneration as well?

3) Also, please consider keeping Cleansing Wave as an Adept tier trait. It is a very useful skill for removing pesky conditions out in the world like a cripple or poison from a random mob that is keeping you in combat. It is also a good pick up for any build to help a team but doesn’t feel mandatory (similar to Elemental Attunement). Moving in to a master tier would remove the option for builds that want to use their Water attunement as a debuff cleanser instead of a heal burst (15 points in water). I think that’s a bad change and one that limits the jack-of-all-trades capability for Elementalists.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope adding my voice to the conversation helps.

Yes please! Don’t need a dungeon finder like wow that automatically places you since we don’t have roles like that but we do need something to help us see people as lfg or groups lfm!
