Guild Wars 2

Nameless One:

ANet’s very Merry wintersday release:
" The goal of this release for the elementalist was to increase the power of the Earth Magic, Air Magic, and Fire Magic trait lines, while taking away some of the need to go into the Arcana line. "

So the Elemental Attunement was moved to Master which is essential for all Ele’s. Therefore, this is contrary to their goal.

Furthermore, Ele is undeniably underpowered in PvP and WvW (good in PvE) so any buff we get would be much needed for PvP and WvW.

Thank you

One of the first steps that needs to be done to rectify this situation: move the Elemental Attunement trait back to Adept … OR … make Elemental Attunement a standard baseline that’s included but self-only and change the trait to apply boons to nearby allies.

+1 – Bump! Make Elemental Attunement standard (to self only) and change the trait to apply boons to nearby allies.

Rudy- did you even read this post?

ANet’s goal behind this restructuring was, and I quote:

" The goal of this release for the elementalist was to increase the power of the Earth Magic, Air Magic, and Fire Magic trait lines, while taking away some of the need to go into the Arcana line. "

So the Elemental Attunement was moved to Master which is essential for all Ele’s. Therefore, this is contrary to their goal.

Thank you

Neko- you are COMPLETELY RIGHT.

The Elemental Attunement trait is absolutely necessary for Ele’s so most Ele’s now have to go deep into Arcana just to obtain it. This is 100% contrary to the goal ANet proclaimed in their Very Merry Wintersday Update when they made this change:

ArenaNet: “The goal of this release for the elementalist was to increase the power of the Earth Magic, Air Magic, and Fire Magic trait lines, while taking away some of the need to go into the Arcana line.”

This is why I am sincerely asking ArenaNet to reverse this change. It had completely changed my build and essentially nerfed it, making me go deeper into Arcana instead of Fire/Air/Earth. The GW2 community and Ele lovers need to raise our voices so ANet hears us.

ANet please acknowledge or comment on this issue.

Thank you,

ANET ARE YOU LISTENING TO US? ! THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! MOVE ELEMENTAL ATTUNEMENT BACK TO ADEPT OR MAKE IT A MINOR TRAIT OR MAKE IT STANDARD TO ELE WITH THE TRAIT ALLOWING YOU TO AFFECT ALLIES!

PLEEEEEASE!

ANet,

I know this is a bit old – from the very merry wintersday update:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/release-notes-for-a-very-merry-wintersday/

But PLEASE – move Elemental Attunement back to the Adept tier.

In this update the intention is to mitigate the need for players to be forced down the Arcana line. So you reduced cooldown of attunements. But at the same time you moved Elemental Attunement to the Master tier! This is the trait most people seek in Arcana! Now I’m STILL forced to go down Arcana just to grab this trait.

Quote:
“…we decided to move some of the most powerful Adept-tier traits in Water Magic and Arcana to the Master tier. This was done to avoid power creep that would have occurred by letting players gain powerful effects in the Master and Grandmaster tier of Fire Magic, Air Magic, and Earth Magic and still get the extremely powerful traits in Water Magic and Arcana by only investing 10 points.”

… really? Power creep on an Elementalist? LOL. I mainly PvP by the way, in which Ele is very weak. Very unfortunate because Ele is a fun professions to play but the weakest in PvP.

SAD FACE
