Guild Wars 2

I was wanting to use is as just one part of the name. The problem that I have is that its a somewhat common first name in japan and I can think of no reason for it to be blocked. Just looking for a bit of logic behind the block from Anet.

Why is the name “chie” blocked when I’m trying to name my character? What about it is inappropriate? Thanks for your time!

Good stuff Kevin.! Had a lot of fun watching this video. At least some people are out there having fun with the class =D

Looks good. I’m gonna give it a shot tonight. Cheers.

So much anger and outrage surrounds this topic, it’s almost as if we were talking about religion or something…Yikes.

Thanks for the nice write up Timebomb! Nice to see something fresh on here. I’m going to try this build out tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes.

So yeah, this is one of those posts. Was messing around doing some sPvP this morning, trying to get my combos down and all that jazz and this is what seems to happen everytime:

Me – Ring of Fire > Phoenix > Dragon’s Tooth > Fire Grab > Dodge (for the Evasive Arcana but only if I need to dodge) > swap to Earth > Dust Devil > Earthquake > Churning Earth

That gets the horrible Thief down to 60% hp, no dodging, then he kills me with a few Heartseekers. Gotta love it.

And now that that is complete, back to dying.

First things first, your build and the way you play that build mean everything in this game. If you are just running in and blowing all your cool downs there is a good chance that you are not looking at where/how you are casting them and just running through all the buttons. As an elementalest it is easy to get into a state of mind where you think you have to press all these buttons in the correct order to do the most amount of damage. This leads to many people that I see prefiring the spell combo without lining up their target or taking into consideration their opponent or their options. As an elementalist this is huge. As a class we are not meant to just charge in and DPS like madmen like other classes can. We are meant to be the brains of the battle field.

I see so many people on the forums saying “We can’t 1v1 x class and we are trash” or “we have to use 10 buttons when x skill only uses 3.” People need to understand that this is not a game based on 1v1. There is no dueling in this game. If you want to pvp like that then you can roll a class that is good at lurking about and pick one guy out to kill and then lurk some more. An elementalist in most cases, not all, should be played with a wingman. When you have someone to work with you become a powerhouse. Elementalists have so many options to shape and mold the meta of a battle with the use of their different fields, AOE, CC’s and buffs. If you want to play just sPVP and run into the fray and get some kills that is fine. You can probably find a great D/D build to get you where you want to be. But if you want to play in skilled PvP and say that the elementalist is weak I would have to argue. Perhaps it’s the fact that the game has only been out for 2 weeks and you just so happened to pick the class with the highest skill ceiling. I encourage you to stick with it and find something that works for you. I’m running a S/D build that focuses on roaming and I can also play bunker if I need to by switching our my D to F or just using a staff. I hope that you stick with it and find a build that suits your play style.
