Here are some healing difference with the staff abilities. Sorry I couldn’t get the amount of healing Arcane Wave does (water field and blast finisher). My server had +4% healing from WvW at the time.
I wouldn’t say this is forcing opinions on others. I’m reading this forum to help form my own opinions. An elementalist was my first character and I wanted to deal max damage. My gear is pure glass cannon so I’m super squishy, but moving will cause my Dragon’s Tooth to miss so I stand still and only fight 1 mob at a time.
I haven’t tried any dungeons yet because people say there aren’t tanks in this game and if the mobs are moving my damage may suck and I don’t want to bring down the group. Now after reading this thread I’m thinking elmentalist fill more of the support or control role instead. I may re-gear for that and try it out, but in the mean time I’m leveling a ranger, which I hope will be better at the pure dps role.
Targets should be selected on mouse left click up instead of left click down. I’m frequently losing my attack target because when clicking down to rotate my camera my cursor is over a different enemy or ally. This is notorious in WvW.
The about face key-binding doesn’t work when holding down the left or right mouse click. I mostly move by holding down the left and right click simultaneously making the about face feature useless.
