at lower levels i found Scepter/Dagger more fruitful, as u can kite and still have some mobility to get out. Earth Armour and Mist Form are two vey handy utilities.
I started this game about a month ago as an Ele because i liked the advertised playstyle, ranged thought-out combat, glass cannon style, typical mage in mmo’s. what i got was a half baked idea of a ranged squishy whos survival was a complete joke and a pea shooter for a main weapon (staff) so i did my research and i found DD. this to me sounded sensible, as i could actually survive a few hits. i am by no means a pro, just your average user, and i find this DD quite hard to play, ive tinkered with other classes and found them easier to manage.
I will say this, Ele’s need to have viable Glass cannon builds, and Viable Ranged builds, becuase currently, even with traits its poor, im suprised i dont get laughed at when im packing a Staff for tower fights. Do i like the Playstyle of DD, not a great deal, but ive adapted, i would prefer that the Ele was as is advertised, a Primarily Ranged Support and Aoe Class. and FYI avoiding a Thief for the average joe isnt as simple as it seems, i can get bursted down in under 3 seconds and if my Oh Kitten buttons are on CD im royally screwed, oh and in my Experience RTL as a means of running away is dodgy at best, if theres a target in range whichever direction im facing, even if behind i zap to it instead of running away (even if i have nothing targetted) this may be because im doing it wrong, but claiming RTL in my personal experience as the Ace get out of jail free card is over-rated, excellent gap closer for an Air 4-5 combo tho. i will say healing is quite handy on it, and ive gone from 10% hp to 100 in mere seconds so mebbe tone it down, usually involes Switch to water > Water 2-5 then dodge roll for the trait heal. but i do dislike taking an age to kill anything because Ele damage in any spec ive tried is lackluster at best and pea-shooter at worst. Change this, give Eles viable builds other than 0/10/0/30/30 DD please lol.
ive been getting this intermittently, starts around 5 or 6 gmt and lasts for hours.
Im on Ring of Fire server eu – Using BT internet and Kaspersky (which ive disabled ingame – no difference)
