Guild Wars 2

DUUUDES, dying to noobs ? I wonder how you blow up all your spells in every single attunement… xD I’ve survived against high ranked players 2v1 and held points for win even sometimes downing one of them, well I get trouble playing against ranger and warrior. I can assure you, the ele is not broken it is only in bad position right now comparing to other classes that benifit from the meta. But trust me ! A good ele can wreak chaos and confusion on the battlefield … and still sustain himself and hold points efficiently.

Raising hand too S/D Fresh Air , Riding the lightning (metallica reference got me into the off hand dagger, not changing it for the world xD) , burning my foes, and well … running away from warriors, sometimes :P xD I love playing my ele, my main and favorite, I got the hang of it and it’s F-ing amazing.

The problem with conjures is that we can’t use our main weapon skills except the attunement swapping which ofcourse obligates us with certain 15 points at least in arcana which kinda reduces the viability of the conjuror build I think conjures must be hosterable, Like it has 2 weapons 1 in hand and 1 on floor and instead of that, since we all hate when some pug gets our weapon, we get 2 charges to holster the weapon and to stay in some sort of stand by or activated state.

90% of my games we don’t even chat, and when we chat we usually discuss the tactics, I don’t know in what region you play but in EU I’ve had best expirience, I am even an elementalist and usually top score from points and assisting and no one blames no one for being useless. Well there are games where someone is blaming someone else but I just ignore them and leave them be.

I think GW2 has the best pvp community I’ve ever seen in a game … compared to all others at least

lets start thinking of builds Currently I think of something like 20/10/0/10/30 with lightning hammer as a weapon and staff, or something with fresh air for constant attunement swap and dmg ? Im currently working my way through the whole conjuring cuz I’ve actually never used anything except FGS but I’ll try few builds put around toughness constant dps , some healing and maybe if possible prec.

I do stricktly PvP but other builds are welcome as well :P

Conquest games isn’t about just outnumbering and objectives, its about reflexes coordination and A LOT OF thinking … (I know .. thinking sounds silly but hear this) :

If a partner is being demolished by 2 others and a point is being taken at the same time like 2500 range between both , what would you do? Well it depends what will be more rewarding and at the same time you should ping and see whats on the map, as I said coordination is the most important thing, which makes conquest amazing and more than just plain “ill burst the kitten out of you”. The problem with conquest is that in solos you might end up against better coordinated solo players with similar thinking which doesn’t even involve them spending time pinging and chatting about tactics, cuz they already have the expirience and goal about what they want to achieve and take control off. But the team games are amazing if you are with people who you trust and have tactics.

I do agree that arena pvp type is amazing but that just reminds my days in pretty much every other mmo I’ve played, GW2 differs from them and I would like this to stay that way. Although I wouldn’t mind a new style of game mode, something comples again :P

Thank you , I take that as a compliment, though I hardly win, I can stand my own ground longer than a guardian aginst a necro and thief xD I don’t know why I just had few games defending a point and maybe just lucky but the players were rank 30-40 so… they are not new comers to the game. And the necro even got grounded 2 times xD (condi no matter how noobish dmg is dmg …)

BTW if any developer is reading this ! DONT PLEASE DONT BUFF ELES xD I like doing extraordinary things with the current state that the ele is and giving the complexity of the class I am pretty satisfied by what it is now. Yes I had some posts whining about how underpowered it is, but now I started to get into the class and learn some new things, it is WAY better … probably the only class that is trully rewarding with spending time in playing

I look forward to see how you making all other classes complex like this one and rewarding as much ^^

Just do whatever you like and put healing signet … at least 1 or 2 stun breakers and few interupts or disables from weapons or utilities whatever you like , some runes that suit the build and stats you got and you are ready … healing signet pretty much makes the warrior op now (dont forget to counter the condi we want condi removal too )

yeah after a whole week trying out builds and stuff … and reading this now , I might just keep my ele in the hangar for now :\

Paragon.5479:

that build is obsolete for like 8 + months with that build u will never beat any decent warr maybe in ur dreams

And maybe you care to share your better solution to the problem ?

Is there even a slight possibility for an elementalist to be able to beat a healing signet warrior ( a good one, not those full signet pro wannabes) or necro.
If someone has any clue or build, please share. We are talking about viable stuff in s/t pvp

Currently running 0/10/0/30/30 based on arcane spells s/d. (ive tried cantrip, just isn’t as good , I do way more with the arcane spells)

Or simply he has lots of toughness and outheals your normal damage with the passive + dodge timings and some regen boon. I say outheal cuz I just had 2v1 against necro and ele, or I should say 1v1+a walking ward, anywayz, I beat them both and the ele did like only outdamaged my passive heals 1 of every 5 times and yes this was in a solo join.

We had like 495 and they had 498 temple got neutralized so that gave them like 1 point and we got 1 point for altar and the winning stomp was…. it felt just great…. (giving the bad start of the game we were like 80 points and they already had about 200)

Longbow with axes are like longbow with greatsword, as a warrior you need an interrupt or stun ! at least 2 so if you want eviscerate try axe and mace or axe and shield but NEVER dual axe, duals can be pretty fun though but competative , not really useful, tho 1v1 is great im currently running axe mace / hammer berserker amulet and it is crazy in solo pvp, tho i would switch if i have to team pvp / I know I sound strange but I hope you understand what I mean

Firstly when I started warrior I felt powerful in pvp but then I got in soloq so, and kinda, well 100% lost the feel that I’m a walking death dealing machine. In short, a warrior.. Thats why I decided to write this here to see if I’m the only one… So I started playing with my traits and decided to go “out of the box” and I saw ppl using longbows, so … I guess I started using longbow and adapt to the meta and guess what? Success rate = 80% adding the devastating hammer smashes and aoe pounding, the feel came back. Now I feel as playing warrior again. I even can’t get my longbow out of my hands now I love it too much I hope for the GS to someday be available properly with longbow :P (My favorite set), but for now smashing heads and setting them on fire seems cool.

As the titles says, can this be made ? I would love to change the colour of my banner to complement my set and to look more amazing (they do look great now but maybe costumization would be cooler) :P

Best, well I personally preffer the human and the charr , the charr is for me the BEST warrior type race. Looks like a beast, fights like a beast, runs like a beast growls and talks heavy and loud, and we all know that in every game the warrior is the beast. Just by looking at it the charr strikes somewhat fear, it is actually the highest race no matter that it can be seen only by putting charr and norn side by side and /salute , also the very lore behind them is warrior-ish, they preffer raw power before magic which is warrior-ish again xD (yes yes they do have incredibly powerful shamans). Also their armor doesn’t look beautiful it looks strong and heavy. I don’t what else to say, they are just way better as a warrior than any other race.

About the humans… well they are humans, we watch movies with human knights barbarian warriors etc… it’s normal to have human, also having a warrior that is likely to be though as weak and being underestimated and then to destroy their enemies is kinda cool (insert asura too)

But in the end I think the charr is just the best warrior option we have

Ath.2531:

I feel like a Juggernaut of raw destructive power which i unleash on the battlefield against my enemies.

I don’t use lemongrass or runes of melandru and i dedicate most of my abilities in controlling the enemy so that they are trying to survive instead of trying to kill me. That way, they use their cds defensively which gives me the edge

In pve i enjoy long walks at the beach as far away from Lion’s arch as possible because the sewage there stinks. Sometimes i visit my home at Hoelbrack to visit my mother in law. Apart from my mother in law, i enjoy it there.

I don’t tPvp because the armor i am given makes me look like cinderella. I don’t want to look like cinderella.

I attached pictures with 2 of my many outfits which can be served as an autograph under open a full free source licence.

Sincerely yours,

Athrael Stormborn

At least someone feels as something, I do feel as I am forced to survive, i do not play your style, i like raw dmg, maybe cuz i only tpvp but idk … good that you feel that way

I have a simple question to all you who love playing warriors in any game. Do you really feel as a warrior while playing as such in gw2 ? Please state your cases about PVE tPVP and WvW. And explain what is exactly a fantasy warrior or just a warrior in your point of view.

Salvaged a bow from tournament chest and got this too

If they fix how the charrzooka looks and is being held as it was shown on the amazing artwork. If they do that, watch as at least 35-40% ppl reroll to charr.

AsuraStrike.6748:

9/10 because for a Necro it suits them well, and with a Charr with a pointy grinny mouth it fits perfectly. I see it sounds like he’s a Gladium, and we all could benefit from their actions outside the Citadel and outside the matters of the Legions.

Mine is called Vargos Fleshmender, from the Flesh Warband, a Warband centered on healing and supporting in the battlefield (medik!). He’s over protective, Euryale’s BFF, to the point he takes his time off at the Priory’s library seeking for ways to resurrect his dead friends, without the emaciated and mindless side effects :P

8/10 The name feels strong, the role your charr has, is a fondation for the warband to stand on and be supported , feels as the strongest link of the warband. The score is not 10/10 because I think , ressurecting the dead is kinda against the charr social understanding. I might be wrong but that’s how I feel it.

Rengar Goreclaw is mine, new warrior brough to this world, lusting for battle and seeking glory and to challange the best fighters out there. The blood legion is his family, stands amongs loyal soldiers and friends. Respecting those who deserved it and loyal to those who have proven themselves worthy. Always charging with his hammer first and bashing foes to oblivion and making them cry out for their gods.

I would also like to have a real charrzooka, not a charrwatergun, also the flamethrower at least one of those 2 pics presented in one of the previous comments. Would really express charr personality.

I also started playing charr solely because of the charrzooka and the way he held it on the artwork, even if it doesnt look like that, make it to be held on shoulders, after all thats the definition of something-ZOOKA, it’s a siege weapon that needs better reinforced stance and support from the body thats why soldiers use them on shoudlers and not holding them as shotguns, atleast call it charr granade launcher, cuz it looks more like that than zooka.

What the hell, what is this multiplying? How can a warrior multiply like that, have I been in hybernation or something? I’ve never had a match where someone besides mesmer, multiplyes like that … please explain

I think horns should stick out of every helmet ! otherwise the difference between the helmets doesn’t matter because no matter what helmet you wear, the horns always look better !

Lol, make a knockback based build, go there hold the hammer and pass judgement upon the mortals, you will think otherwise

I don’t know , the only problem I see is targeting them, but when their pets die, bad things happen, also the cast of a single spirit is easely countered or interrupted. The only thing that makes them tanky are the bonuses that the spirit gives, a little nerf should fix the problem, because you can be spirit ranger and do like 20k dps with the longbow 2 ability. Jsut saying. But anyways if you have lots of aoe they aren’t really that big of a problem.

I guess this brings it down to this thing -> rangers counter profession builds with less powerful aoe attacks

Have you ever seen any game developer and/or technitian to answer such questions “why was this nerfed beyond comprehension” if there is no answear for like 1 month we probably shouldn’t even hope for it. But there is the other side, no developer can leave their game just hanging, while it does have a lot of players, gathered a lot of popularity.

The elementalist sufferes a lot, a lot more than it should but I’m sure they are working on for the best solution , because just bringing him back on top of the food chain isn’t an answear. There are a lot of suggestions which 100% has been read and put on the table (I’m sure of it) that sounds great. Fixing something like that without jeopardizing is hard , extremely hard.

Also there has to be considered the bugs that come up by fixng a single thing, it is a program after all , it needs testing and reworking over and over again. It just takes time.

We can only hope for sooner response and a patch that would bring down the classes to same level (I mean all of them to be viable in tPvP and taking one class to benifit a lot in a team, not just drag the team just by being the certain proffesion, in this case elementalist)

I’d hoped for some hidden treasures … well I guess I’ll be the walking ward then

I’ve been saying and defending anet that the ele is fine but i cannot lie to myself anymore, the class is broken, IN THE BAD WAY. I am sick of playing 0 10 0 30 30, so I switched to 30 0 10 10 20, it seemed to do the job the best but still I cannot counter almost any class, it seems like the ele is ment to be played as a moving ward and nothing else, I’ve tried some other builds almost all the rune and sigil combinations and still … please if there is any good build that can be actually played in solo tPvP atleast, enlighten me.

Ele can be played the difference is that I have to smash my keyboard from button mash and timing and watching absolutely every boon and condi I have, and almost all other classes can just faceroll me if I make a mistake, but still it can be played to it’s full potential and be viable.

Anywayz , I agree that it has to be a little bit buffed , not much , jsut a little bit.

So you face-roll your Eles before o-O? I would be very surprised if you can actually kill any decent players that know Eles rotation and animations a bit. Lucky now you know not to face-roll your Eles anymore thanks to many unnecessary nerf. Good luck after this, you will be a much better player.

Just watched Phatarm ’s Eles played in SoloQ on twitch. He lost 3 matches in a row and in every counter, he either had to run or die. He could not kill anyone at his level with Burst Eles build. Eles needs a lot of buff, not just a bit, starting with revert RtL back to 20s CD, healing number on SoR and removes 5s ICD on Cleansing Water would be a good start.

No, no, there is no before, I have the game for a month but I’ve seen some good players coming for like 2v1 with me and that I meant by viable class, I can hold points and be the bunker that Anet limited the ele class to be… And I might be new but the proffesion is like my favorite , I’ve tried countless builds and I can make a difference between no skill and actually nerfed class or unusable build.

Please understand, I do not do rotations, I play for the moment sometimes I even engage with water attunement, Well if you hit with rtl you get the 20s cd… witch always happen and I DO NOT faceroll with my ele, read my comment, I said that if I made a simple mistake I get facerolled and pretty much left for dead.

At least we agree that ele needs buff

TBH I preffer temple, temple, temple than even 1 game on skyhammer

Is there a way to find out what rank, cuz wiki says it’s unkown and the recipe needs paid tournament token ? I’ve probably tried like 20 last few days all I get are orrian and molten

I just wanted to ask, are the encrusted weapons skins still available or am I just wasting my time trying to craft them at the mystic forge? I’ve searched in google before I post but there’s no info, I tried in the forums to find some info too, but none again.
