Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the input guys. I think I will just stick with druid for now as it seems to fit that PVE support knack atm.

So I’m coming back after a very long break. Enjoying myself so far. In most other games I usually play healer support (yes I understand that there is no need for healers out of raids in this game). So anyway, I gave druid a shot this time around and though it’s nice it just isn’t clicking with me.

I am reading a lot of negative stuff about ele, though it’s my preferred class and first level 80 character. I also love light armor looks. I remember they used to be quite strong but most of what I read is that they are really low tier, especially in pve. This worries me because PVE is my playstyle, though ofc I won’t shy away from the occasional pvp/wvw.

Yes, I have done research about the nerfs. I have read and read. Yes I know, I know. Play what you want there is no best class. Please don’t respond to this thread with those types of answers.

I’m looking for real, solid advice with actual explanations. Is it even worth going back to my ele right now or should I tough it out with my druid until a-net changes something? As I don’t have much experience to a-net’s response time with these types of things do you think a change is even needed/likely/going to happen soon?

What are the main problems with ele, and where are they lacking most? Are they useful in raids, fractals, can they solo through some of the HoT content? (Yes, I know all characters are special snowflakes and have a use, but I mean compared to other high tier pve classes). My main focus is PVE, I will PVP but that’s not my focus.

Any help would be appreciated. I know some would say just go for it and play what you want. However, I tend to invest gems and a lot of time into my characters and don’t really like alting so I don’t want to make a decision I will regret (if I go back to my ele).

Thank you for your time.

Edit: On a side note, what are other classes that are high tier in pve right now? I like magic feeling classes. Please, none of the every class is good stuff we all know there are preferred classes for certain things. I’m talking for solo pve, fractal, raid. Thanks again guys, for your time.
