They’re not going to “fix” how much PLAYERS sell stuff for.
Uhh what they need to fix is the massive difference in materials needed between making bolts of damask and elonian squares. You need 50 cured thick leather vs a spool of silk weaving threads.
The problem is trying to get people to stand still in a meteor shower or churning earth.

Currently all of our damage means nothing when our big damage skills are so easily avoided.
It’s you that let the players avoid the spell. Think outside of the box…
First off, stop double posting.
Second, you have no idea if its my fault or not. I believe you made a comment about another poster “making a fool of himself”, how about you don’t do that.
I didn’t say our attacks never hit. I said they are easy to avoid. Even if we root a player they can break out of it and just walk away. I have to cast for 5 seconds to get churning earth off. As an elementalist that is a long time to stand still and stay alive.
Third, if you have nothing productive to say, and your only response is “L2P”, then I’m not sure why you are posting on this thread. We are trying to answer a question asked about why ele’s whine. Regardless of if its a joke question or not, we felt it was a good chance to explain why.
Lastly, screen shots of WvWvW dagger damage(against level 80s).
I call BS on the 10k hit. The person was either upscaled or in the down state.
I consistently hit 10k with churning. It’s not hard with full crit gear.
I use combos, and understand how they work. That does not stop people from moving out of the skill, or just using a KB on you. You also factor in that in WvWvW not all fights are 1on1 so others can come up and stop you as well. I do agree that most the time I see ele’s they are just standing there casting one spell not even moving, but that doesn’t negate the fact that we cant take any damage, and our big skills are easily avoided.
As far as Spvp it really is a waste of time as a ele unless you have a good group, and even then you are going to be more support then the real fighting force.

Elementalist can hit pretty hard. I normally hit 5-6k with staff meteor shower and lightning surge. With daggers I can hit up to 11k with with churning earth, and if I’m lucky 9k with burning speed/fire grab.
The problem is trying to get people to stand still in a meteor shower or churning earth. When people see dragon tooth they simply move. Other classes like warrior/thief can 1 shot us with no effort at all. The other issue with staff is that people lock you down and go behind you, and know you can’t do anything about it. People see elementalist and think " awesome an easy kill". 9 times out of 10 we are the easy kill.
As other mentioned we would have 40 utility skills if able to switch weapons. Honestly though that doesn’t matter. You are not gonna be able to sit and switch to all of your big skills fast enough to make them all viable in a fight in PVP. Not to mention many skills are fairly useless.
Letting us switch weapons, or make our cast times shorter would easily make us a PVP class worth playing. We don’t need more survivability or damage. Currently all of our damage means nothing when our big damage skills are so easily avoided.
