Eelementalist has access to very strong healing while have high damage as well. (Evasive arcana, cleansing water, cleansing wave). Combined with fast movement speed it is not overpowered at all…
Do you say fiery greatsword is useless? I would like such a useless skill with my necro….

Great observation. Maybe that’s why people rarely see D/D Elementalists in PVP and WvW? /sarcasm

BTW we’re talking about landspeed here so I don’t see a reason why you’re bringing that up. The previous posts are still related to landspeed, this one clearly isn’t.

But if you insist… Eles (and most/all other classes) need to gear for Healing Power if they want to have decent healing, maybe at least 400~500 (for eles at least). Warriors just need 1 signet to get more than decent sustain heal, no need to gear up for Healing power at all.

I see many elementalists in wvw, and they have got decent land speed.
They can leave almost any fight at will.
What are you talking about exactly? The two classes are different, they need different build and equipment? Great observation.

Every profession should have some strong and weak areas. If one profession is the best or second best in almost all the areas, why to ever play the other professions?

Please link me the warrior build what is the best, or second best in each and every area of the game.

He didn’t say there was one build that did it all, he said that warriors have access to builds that can all be the best or second best. Other classes are very limited in what specs they have that are competitive. Warriors can build for healing from shouts, banners for group utility, extremely high DPS, conditions, etc. All of which are equal to or much better than what other classes can offer.

Being best in everything is obviously overpowered.
But as you say, one build is good in one thing. Different build is good in other thing. Every builds have weakness.
Seems balanced.

“The only logical solution is to nerf warrior mobility.”
I don’t see the logic here exactly.
Not the warrior, but another class would be the fastest, overpowered class. Do you consider it a solution?
Seems like you don’t want any balance, you just want to nerf warriors because you hate them, or one of them.

The point is – warrior have too much of everything. It is a joke that a HEAVY armor class is able to escape SO easily and so freely without punishment. If Ride The Lightening deserved to be so heavily nerfed, the same should happen to Rush.

Two words: Fiery greatsword.
Elementalists still can run as fast as a gepard.

Warrior is a versatile class. Can do a lot of things.
It is good in big group, but not better than guardian, necro or ele.
The warrior is good for solo roaming as well. But thief is even better.
Warrior is far from being overpowered, it is just versatile.

Players on my ignorelist should not be able to use my siegecraft. If a building (keep, camp, etc.) is owned by a guild, players on the guild leader’s ignorelist should not be able to use the building’s resources.

Ok. Getting ascended equipment is fast, and not grindy. 1 week per piece of equipment.
16 pieces *2 (2 set per character) * 8 (8 character) means 4 years.
After that, finally i can start playing wvw.
There is one problem: time is money. I live only once, and i don’t have 4 years to burn on this.

What a cop out. You can jump into WvW at any time, and you will still get kills. The odds of every single opposing playing being fully ascended and every single player on you server having not one piece is zero. The whine, ‘I don’t have BiS so I won’t even try to play’ is just sad.

Sad, or not sad, that (getting BiS is fast and easy) is the ONLY reason i started to play this game.
I don’t enjoy having crap equipment, but don’t have 4 years to burn either.

Zero. I gave up. It takes too long.

There are two reasons i bought this game:
- i like wvw
- i don’t like grind
Now i need to grind harder than anywhere else, and i need to wait in long queues for wvw.
If i am lucky, i will be able to get one set of ascended gear for one character within a year or two. What about build diversity? And what about other characters?
At least i don’t need to buy more character slots, since i am forced to play with one.
But this doesn’t make me happy…

Server merge for longer queue time? Sounds good…

Next game I am considering playing your toon can switch to any other class. Now that is “alt friendly”. If a single toon can have all classes and all skill crafting available, thats the game for me.

You don’t need to wait at all, it exists. Darkfall online for instance.

As the title says, sell ascended equipment in gemshop for people who doesn’t like endless treadmill. I understand you don’t want to make it fun to get it in wvw, so come on, sell it in gemshop.

Account wide wxp, or balanced classes! Mesmer hardly get any wxp because don’t have the ability to tag the enemy zerg with aoe attacks!

There are a lot of way to gain karma, whatever you do, sooner or later you can afford the karma equipments by just playing the game and having fun. In opposition to this, the laurel system forces you to do things what you don’t want to do. Having different token for every dungeon and every equipment makes it more time consuming, what might be good for someone, but it is not good for me, because i have less time to play wvw.

Doomguard.5094:

If you can’t complete the dailies, they why do you even want the strongest gear? If you can’t play for 1 hour a day to complete a daily, then are you planning to play dungeons with that 1 hour you have at your disposal? Obviously not, if you don’t have time to play dungeons, then you don’t really need the strongest gear, which is in this case, ascended gear for fractals, which were intended solely for hardcore players to test their skill for end game.

I play wvw because that is what i like, but i need the equipment for being competitive. While i am working on the daily, i spend 1 hour on doing a job instead of playing the game, so 1 hour is very long, way too long time.

For me, end game is playing wvw and having fun. It would be. But i can’t have fun, because i have to grind myself through a horrible fractal, then grind a daily achievement. I need to do this if i ever want to be competitive, ever want competitive equipment!
1. Daily should be something what i can achieve by just playing without grind.
2. What if i can play only once per week, but i want to do all 7 dailies all at once? It should be possible!
Right now, Gw2 seems like a job, not like a game.
