Also I love how you just dismiss new players holding onto anything.
It got dismissed because what the hell does it even mean? What do you mean they can’t hold on to anything? They have numerous bag slots available to them, including a few extra bag slots. This conversation could be had if Anet only offered 1 bag slot and the rest you had to buy, but as it stands it is completely non issue.
Your earlier melodramatic post about me daring to question Anet shows it is absolutely pointless talking to you.
New players do not need extra bag slots…LOL. So new players are not supposed to take crafting (good luck being a chef…), or hold onto anything they like the look of?
NOTHING excuses 20 gold for a single bag slot. I paid less than 3 for mine.
It’s called deposit collectibles to the bank. Those crafting material bank slots already provide more slots of storage than a new player would ever need. If you are actually crafting, then you never need more than a single stack of any material in order to max it out. This only affects players that hoard materials to sell on TP.
It is patently obvious that you have never done any cooking. Hell, it seems like you do not even know how it works on a basic level.

I’ve maxed out all my crafting and made myself a bunch of 20 slot bags. I have never run into storage problems with the default bank spaces provided for crafting mats. I’ve also never spent any gems on bag or bank slots.
What would any new player need with 250 of any cooking ingredients? By the time they reach that point, they wouldn’t be new anymore.
100% confirmation you have never done cooking. The ingredients you MAKE, which are a lot, cannot be deposited. I seriously pity a new player who wants to cook.
Oh and 20 slot bags? You really think new people can afford that?

The non-obvious attacks, need an audible queue, IMO. This game is very visual and very noisy. Make the mobs say/do something before a ‘big’ hit and players will react faster.
Bag and bank space should be bought with gold, not gems.
What are you even talking about? This is the first MMO I have ever played where you are even able to buy gem store things with gold. Who are you to say what Anet can put in their store.
It is SPACE, little fan boy. It is an essential in MMOs.

Bag and bank space should be bought with gold, not gems. A player at launch buys their space for 1 gold, while a new player has to spend 20. Evidently new players are not supposed to hold onto anything, or take things like cooking…
If your teammates don’t stack full vulnerability I would rather do 30/30/0/10/0. For grandmaster air trait take air training and use lightning hammer in air attunement. You get vulnerability stacking, +10% damage in air, +10% crit damage (almost as good as +10% damage with high crit) and 100 precision for even better crit rate. You’ll be doing more damage when not using lightning hammer and almost the same damage when you are.
Yeah I will probably swap to this however I’ll keep Renewing Stamina because if your using the hammer you need all the dodges you can get. I would rather be alive doing a little less DPS then hugging the ground half the fight…

You should still fight in Water attunement, for the 20% more damage to vulnerable targets.
Why do Elementalists have the lowest health and armour?
Why can I not be an earth tank or fire specialist?
Why was Arcane Attunement Recharge (the Arcane points bonus) made so necessary?
Burning Precision is absolutely horrid. Anyone who can do basic maths can see that. It lasts only ONE second, and only triggers on 30% of your critical hits. So first you have to roll a crit, then you have a 30% chance of it triggering a measly 1 second burn.
A condition build with 20% crit will trigger it 3 out of every 50 attacks. That is a 6% proc rate, for a single second of burn….
Burning Precsion gives ONE SECOND of burn, 30% of the time when you crit. A condition earth build will have 20% crit at the most. This means you will get a one second of burn every 3 out of 50 hits. Yes, that is sooo useful…
Burning Fire is adding burn to skills that ALREADY BURN.
So dingle, you are wrong.
Ya, who wants burning to last longer in a condi build /s
Seriously though, I think merging these traits is all that needs to be done. Signet of fire now gives a good amount of crit on passive and burning fire makes its active burn last 33% longer. SoF plus the merged trait synergizes well, for both passive and active abilities.
It adds 3 seconds to 50 second cleanse, the summoning of 2 weapons, and Signet of Fire. So basically only the Signet of Fire benefits, in a 30 Earth build. Thus, it is rubbish.

If this trait is not changed to something that can actually be used, and not renamed to something not redundantly stupid, Anet will clearly be shown to not care about Fire.
There are also Flame Barrier and Burning Precision which are rubbish, and need to be addressed. Flame Barrier, and the trait that boosts it, are just horrible and require you to get smashed for weak damage, while Burning Precision is a ONE SECOND burn that triggers from an RNG from an RNG.
the argument you are making doesn’t have to do with versatitlity. You don’t have to choose arcane if it doesn’t work for your build. Also arcane is design to benefit all attunement so it doesn’t make sense to put that trait in any other line.
Well it boosts the AoE of 7 abilities.
True, but if it doesn’t suit your needs why take it? Or if the are more important skills to take than it why take it/
Then you should know that it is much better to stay in water during a siege, putting 5 and 3 down on the rams, and then spamming 1 to heal people. This, along with your regen, is much more helpful than any damage you can do.
Did I miss the sceptre buffs, and the fire tree fixes? Burning Fire (lol nice name Anet…) is still there, Burning Precision still only gives 1 second of burn for a proc on a proc, and Flame barrier still completely sucks.
This trait is insanely powerful for Staff Elementalists, yet it also forces you to go 20 into Arcane. If you want to improve Staves and create versatility, address this as well.
