The FGS rush is understandable but they still have to make that skill “elite” worthy. When I see the ice bow AoE doing more damage than the FGS AoE I’m baffled. How can a non-elite do something better than it’s elite version? It’s just not acceptable.

As for the Tornado they better rework it completely if they are to rempove the only reason why people were using it. At least give a huge buff in Thouhness if they insist on making it a melee skill. Logic 101. Ele does have very poor elite ATM they never truly felt elite at all.

i agree that FGS needs to feel like an elite as well, and it’s mobility isn’t that much threat when vsing other eles, just chill or immobilsie them and they they’re not going anywhere since we rarely have stability.

for tornado, i don’t really care if it’s tanky or not. i simply use it as a combo with meteor shower (the extra dmg) , once meteor shower is finished i switch out of tornado, that’s all the tornado is good for atm tbh.

we are at a point in which the best Elite we can think of would be to equip an utility instead….

exactly what i was thinking xD

first of all, i agree with fixing fgs’s firey rush + lightning flash combo, that is clearly “unintended”, but firey rush and firey whirl against a wall is NOT a bug, gs warriors can do a similar thing.
with gyphs of storm, they will most likely do fire: burning/ blindness, air: blindness/vulnerability, earth: bleeding/cripple, water: chill/vulnerability?/daze?
i’m happy that they’re buffing the other grandmaster traits (hopefully) because i actually try and go out of the norm (especially for roaming, i only use 2 points in arcana and 4 points in water, not going to say more :P) but i do use cantrips for raids (unlike my roaming d/d build) because as a staff ele, DPS is the way to go, and we NEED cantrips to stay alive.
also, one more thing i want to point out, why must they carry on nerfing eles when i almost never see any eles besides me in wvw nowadays, yet they still buff warrs who imo need some nerfs (but i’m happy about if they miss hamerstun, they lose their adrenaline, that should have been implemeted a LONG time ago), give eles more love anet. we need it.

forgot to say this: it seemed as though they accepted meteor tornado combo in the past, so it may not be an “unintended”, + they never mentioned anything about meteor shower, so MAYBE they might leave this combo alone

everyone needs to calm down.
we know that Anet had 9 weeks to make sure this didn’t happened (i personally thought that Anet never paid much attention to wvw in the first place, they seemed to like PvE more, but this maybe be changing because they are finally rewarding wvw players for playing wvw like the season 2 tournament ^^), everyone has been posting this for like 8 whole pages so stop stating the obvious, we know this already and telling them this isn’t going to change the current situation.
We ALSO know that Anet has found out the problem which was pretty fast and they are solving it. keep it up Anet
And, like people have already said, it’s just a skin, it won’t affect your gameplay whatsoever, if you really so desperate for a skin, go get another skin -_-, OR like everyone else, just be patient and have some faith in Anet, they are probably working their socks off fixing this.
They probably have more than enough pressure than they deserve, so try and keep it positive guys. Anet, gj for the fast update on the situation and finding out the problem, it would be very reassuring if you can do this more often in the future and give WvW some love ;D

yh same, this has been happening for quite a while, it seems to only show the damage when it crits. When it didn’t i was worried whether it even did any damage at all, apart from the bleeding. I really hope this gets fixed because it always makes me feel uneasy when i can’t see the numbers :/
