In WvW? No. It goes against the very principle of WvW – random chaotic war. Duels occur in war sure but its a function of two people meeting each other in open battle, not two people entering a closed arena. We generally honor duels (or GvGs) yes, but we could crash it. Thats what make it a true battlefield.

That said, I never understood why we cant do it in Heart Of The Mists waiting for queue or specific arenas in PvE cities. It would be great entertainment.

It’s so bad that is a complete waste of time to give any feedback on how to fix it. Just remove it or replace it with something useful. I will be happy if I can avoid it. I don’t even comment on warhorn. Start over. Or rather do something else: allow us to place a regular skill in elite slot for example, re-design stealth, fix… so many things.

I recently fought 2 perma stealth thieves in WvW using condi traps with trapper runes and learned that there is a perma stealth trapper build:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/WvW-True-Permastealth-Condi/first#post5407958

It is quite a strong build

it got me wondering…Perma Stealth trap thief vs PU mesmer…who will win?

on vacation again last week, forgot again. sorry.

Well this expansion is a dud for us.

Maybe they’ll fix it. Not too confident however as the base idea of the Tempest just conflicts very hard with the base Elementalist.

Hopefully the next expansion doesn’t come out in another 3 years :/

sorry I missed posting numbers this week; I’m on vacation. I’ll remember next week.

probably.

Solutions to WvW problems:
1. greatly increase reward from kills.
2. divide that reward by the number of attacking ppl
3. introduce unique armor and weapon skins
4. link points earned (from keeps, towers, camps, etc etc) to instant WvW population. eg: 1 keep with 300 ppl in wvw = 1000 points // 1 keep with 10 ppl in WvW = 50 points. (night capping issue solved)

if you want a solution you’ll find a solution, what you are doing is just blablabla

A miracle I tell you! A miracle!

Pfff……ask the Minnesota Dentist about that. I’m sorry anet! I had to say it! Don’t ban me

You forgot to put your tinfoil hat on.

I found him mediocre, mallyx was fun enough thematically and I like the idea of using condi’s against your enemies but wow, the whole legend is just underwhelming, mallyx desperately needs more access to damaging conditions, the pitiful amount of torment he gets is just nothing, and keep in mind I think I’m a “pro-revenant” I’m not trying to come off as stuck-up, but I’ve been crazy into revenant and had formulated a build and gear set before the beta even hit, and had visualized the best way to play a revenant. And wow it was underwhelming, hopefully shiro can help make up for it but imo mallyx needs some serious buffs to condition damage

scepter and staff builds are ditching arcane. d/d still utilizes it.

Knights armor with Celestial trinkets. Zerker weapons. That’s my personal budget setup. Usual earth water arcana or fire over earth. Utilities are cantrips and rotations can be found on phantarm’s youtube channel. Good luck.

As a member of P.E.T.Y. (people for the ethical treatment of yaks) you people disgust me

Oh hai, I am in your step-sister organization P.E.T.Y (People Eating Tasty Yaks)! Maybe we should BBQ, you could bring the veggies and I will bring the thing that eats them. Good times will be had for all (well except for that tasty Yak, but, who knew).

When did you experience ANet giving a kitten about active WvW community the last time?

Fuzzion.2504:

so classic dnd eles, any1 tried without arcane. ?

A little bit it made me rethink synergies. F/W/A is really good, but kitten atm because blinding ashes didn’t change like it’s suppose to yet. I looked at earth/water/air the last trait kind of meh on choice there in earth. I’d say fury in fire fields is a must if your going fire and air for movement speed.

I think any kind of earth build with geomancer’s training and a focus is pretty good if you also take water and probably air. You get a projectile reflect and 3 condi clear every 161/2 sec.

I think gear has to be looked at hard again and from what we normally ran and a non arcana damage build is certainly possible to be good. Boon uptime isn’t what it use to be and with more stats on gear prot needed as much. I’d say hoelbrak runes on anything you run for WvW.

i would hug this man if i could

Fuzzion.2504:

I did not really think about fire. Might also give it a try.

What do we know about stats

Well you go fire for fury every time you blast fire fields. As an d/d ele you would already be blasting fire and now you can get much more out of these blast to the point of perma fury. After the update having 700 condtion dmg seems to be the number to hit so if you can get cap might 25 stacks so 750 condtion dmg hitting the cap you can see non condtion dmg ele builds land burning skills that truly have an impacted in a fight.

Pretty sure it’ll just be this:

http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AgAE9AJkBaQ~

The interaction of Soothing Ice + Elemental Shielding will make it the best bunker spec.

Diamond Skin and Geomancer’s Training just seem like the most relevant traits in Earth. Rock Solid could replace Geomancer’s Training in that build.

Since Elemental Contingency is now a Minor Trait, we now take Elemental Contingency + Evasive Arcana as the Major traits. Renewing Stamina remains the standard choice at that tier.

Cleansing Water plus Cleansing Wave for maximum condi clear.

Basically, what Eles have been running since forever, plus more power creep.

6/0/6/6/0 and 0/6/0/6/6 are going to be meta for condi/power respectively.

We may see fire taken over air for Cele now. I have a suspicion its gonna be really good with cleansing flames/power overwhelming/burning ashes

For d/d i am thinking 6 fire is a must and auras for the most part beyond there build in effects are dead for fury generation. Having the ability to get fury from blasting fire fields for dagger/ any thing is out right op its both build in aoe and give you might ontop of making your fire fields last all the longer. I think the 6 fire 6 water 6 ar build will become the new stander d/d build for ele. For the all in dmg builds 6 fire 6 air 6 ar / or 6 water d/f or d/d will be the build.

So the day is fast approaching.

Eles everywhere. Unite. Do not fear.

Whats the worst thing they can do to us? am i right …guys…helllooo

Ele will be fine. Elemental attunement will be minor again. Beyond that I think they will be just fine. At least it won’t be like the 2013(?) Ele near extinction.
