Guild Wars 2

I know plenty of people have been requesting a renaming service and there have been posts saying it’s in the works, but I was wondering if there is any possibility of a name swapping service too?

I have two characters in particular whose names seem to fit better if they were swapped over. if it would be possible to just rename both characters in same way so that they could take each other’s names too then that would be fine too

I have to agree, I was torn between Ele and Guardian at the start but went with Ele. I was in the same predicament at 80 so I rerolled to Guardian and now I regret not taking it from the start. They have much more to offer to a team and being so hard to take down means more fun for me (Who actually enjoys spending most their time being put down in 1-2 hits)

Hey guys, I’ve been playing human up to now, but started an alt as a norn and have set its height to the highest slider setting, but I’m finding that I move with fairly sluggish looking walking animations (which is understandable since I’m basically a moving tree)
But I’m just curious, If I was to remake my character and use the smallest setting, will the size of my weapon change too, or is it preset based on race. my human is able to carry swords the entire size of my body, where as my norn’s swords are slightly smaller. So I’m not sure if this is because the size of the sword is set to match the smallest height setting or if it just scales too.

I’d normally just delete my char and remake it, but I don’t want to lose the levels I’ve gained on my character if it’s going to make a difference. I’d prefer to have a bigger sword and a bigger body over the compromise for faster movement animations to a smaller looking sword

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers,

Link the build or it didn’t happen

Elementalists have a much higher skill floor than other classes, meaning you need to be pretty good at the game and your class to do decently. If you want an easy class you can pwn faces with, roll a warrior or guardian or ranger or thief.

Elementalists played well arn’t THAT bad off. Yes, we’re still a tad underpowered. But the main problem isn’t being underpowered per se, it’s that ele requires more work to get to the same effect.

Why do people assume that anyone who says a class is underpowered doesn’t know how to play it? The fact that you managed to point out other classes as being able to “pwn faces” means that the balance between the classes isn’t there.. You can be very skilled in ele and still see that the numbers just aren’t matching up to other classes. I wouldn’t care if ele took more skill than other classes (thats the selling point for most ele players) it’s just that the the balance isn’t behind them to validate the difficulty

If the most important thing to you is your relative power to other classes, then you should reroll to another class and be much happier. Until that class isn’t as powerful as the next class, and then you can reroll to that new more powerful class. Until that new more powerful class suddenly isn’t as strong as another class….

Eventually you’ll have one of every class, and you can just choose to play whichever is the most powerful at that time. Problem solved.

Surely it’s not too much to ask to be at least on par with the other classes. The work that goes into playing an Ele is what has appealed to me from the beginning. but to put in the work and receive little to show for it, it’s difficult to enjoy the class.. I’m not looking for a 2 button class. I enjoy how entwined the attunements are together and working them together to create combos etc is what kept me playing up until now. it’s just that the numbers I’m pulling in most areas just feel lacking

I agree, there hasn’t been much for elementalists in recent patches, so hopefully they’re working on a bigger fix, as the odd change to a few skills isn’t going to change us as a whole. Any sign from them to give me a glimmer of hope would be much appreciated, but for now I’m struggling to log into my character knowing that the class is so massively overshadowed by other classes

Edit: @Strang. Finding a class fun is one thing, but putting in so much effort and struggling to play a class I love only to not even match other much easier classes takes the reward value out of the class. I’ve tried most specs possible and all of them seem to be outperformed by most other classes. so it’s hard to have to drive to keep playing.

Any little post to let us know that the class is being worked on would be awesome, but I haven’t seen anything as of yet

I’ve been stuck between a rock and a hard place since reaching 80 with my ele. My figures just don’t match the other classes and I can’t help but wonder if I’d be better off investing time and gold in a class which can bring more to the table.

ANet said that balancing isn’t going to be as simple as a singe patch, so do you guys think that we’ll be seeing changes within the near future or is this something that’s going to drag on for a while?

If it is something that could be fixed soon then I’m more than happy to just ride it out until then, but I can’t help but feeling that I’m going to be playing a kittened class for a fair while, and it’s sort of taking the enjoyment out of the game when I’m being rolled by mobs that other classes are walking over

What do you lot think? Are we going to see changes or should I just hang up my elementalist hat for now

I just hope ANet don’t have youtube blocked at work
