Weaver meta? Earth/fire condi hybrid (PVE)

Looks nice, but with the change in utilities and new stats I think power fire/air/weaver will have a strong place in the meta. No fresh air needed (low att swap from elite and weaver) so you can get bolt to the heart, massive dmg bonuses (from fire, air and weaver lines), improved scholars uptime from barrier, etc…

I’m just coming back after a long break so I’m pretty rusty when it comes to the pve meta. Doesn’t most of the ele power dmg come from abusing AoE skills on large targets like air overload and staff 5? I’m wondering if FA Weaver could compete with these in terms of dps.

In WP’s interview with the elite spec designers, he asked the guy behind weaver if FA was a match made in heaven and the response was “yes.”

Taimi is all we need... (potential spoilers)

Taimi is what happens when bad writers have nobody to reign them in from inserting their pet character into everything. Even crap they don’t need to be a part of.

They completely overshadow other characters to the point of bother having other characters exist when that favorite characters does literally everything. She’s obviously somebody on the dev team’s favorite and she’s solving all the problems and getting all of the spotlight to the point she’s this insufferable mary sue(being a cripple is hardly a flaw and even then her dumb mech is starting to negate that) that needs to die or go away now for the good of the story. It’s certainly at the point I hardly even care about lore anymore solely because of her and I’m one of the very few people who has actually read all three of the novels.

Apparently Anet didn’t learn from Blizzard’s mistakes because Taimi right now is the exact reason people started to hate Thrall when he was previously a beloved character.

How would you redesign the elementalist?

I would basically steal the forcemaster from blade and soul and put it into gw2. It only uses 2 elements, but is more a master of the elements than our elementalist is. Sadly it suffers from the same fate in pvp in that game as our ele does. Big damage in pve, lowest damage in pvp and hard countered by pretty much every other class. But its still better than ele is at killing people in pvp. Or better yet, the wizard from black desert. Too bad everything else about that game is trash.

Please no. Forcemaster has one of the most boring playstyles of any caster ever IMO. And no I don’t want to only use 2 elements. There’s a reason I shelved my WoW mage and it’s because I got sick of Blizz pruning kitten that weren’t of the type of spec you were playing each expansion. Nowadays Frost uses 95% Frost-based abilities and it’s boring. Even more of a slap in the face when lore characters like Khadgar and Jaina will regularly use Frost, Fire, and Arcane abilities right after each other.

Never played BDO so can’t comment on that.
