Guild Wars 2

If I wanted to just do 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 pick-up hammer
with the hammer… wouldn’t I make a warrior wearing an heavy armor?

anet can learn a lot from this and other topic.
but we all know that anet is like a dog chasing its tail… will never admit his mistake

I really enjoyed Suriel, it is the only boss that have a good mechanic in it. You can’t just spam buttons and smash your keyboard to do it…

Why is the Elementalist so melee focused?
Simple! Because Anet like Warriors and Thieves… but don’t want us to do the same output damage (actually our damage is less then 50% ? 30% ? )

when you can spam all of this dps and relect everything is so simple;
now do it with another class

Someone succeded to do it with a mix of knight/berserker set
trait something like 20/30/0/10/10
D/D and spam Earth2 to cripple, Air5 and Earth4 to knockback when you can’t reach the meat before chomper. Air4 (disable autotarget) to run to the meat.

I’ve tried it without succeding, also with a classic 30/30 arcane water

+ 1 to your post, try doing the tornado guy as an elementalist and enjoy it… burned something like 20+ ticket for doing it

I like that there are extremely difficult achievements to get, and the fact that they require a little luck is even ok.

I wanted also to quote this, I really like that there are difficult ach. to earn. But NOT WHEN they are bonded to a ridicously limited timeframe. I want to do them when I can, when I want and when I’m in the right mood for doing it.

are you really asking this in the Elementalist forum?
obviously Thief, really. The Ele is pretty useless in 90% of the game

shadowfall is not random, it follow a pattern..
and… yes it is a poor design

it is not fun at all, maybe in 100+ try I can succed, but I don’t like wasting my time… so I’m not doing that; maybe, once thay see that after 2-3 days no-one is doing it they will acknowledge that they failed with this “arena”

oh.. and I forget another important point… I don’t like to frenetically smash buttons on my keyboard to just do it in time; like many of us, I want to play my character the way I always liked to play it, so I will not change my build, equip and traits and then just see that this can be easily facerolled by a berzerker warrior…

Oh joy, now you’re going to start another slew of people thinking warriors are better than everything else.

Time for videos on another class.

Show me a video of a guardian or ranger bursting Liadri down like that and I’ll believe anything you have to say.

and an elementalist, until then… i’m done with this
I personally do not love wasting time…
and this activity, in addition to being not funny, it’s just a waste of time

actually, i think that the ceremony (but also the wallent and dungeon rewards) is the only good thing in this release. Crown Pavilion is a WvW-zerg-like PvE, the Q.Gauntlet really need some fix to the queue/death/fail, the Ballons events are ok but they are too repetitive

Same here: did a ballon event in Queensdale without looting the chest, moved to another ballon quest and looted the chest; returned to the other ballon to get the chest and it was already open. Now the whole chest/achievment is bugged

you can complete Party Crusher killing Aetherblades during escort events near ballons

is there anyone kind enough to help me with t3 and t4?

1) You already have a lot of 80s, you shold know how to level up with dungeon explorations, this is also a very easy way to get good and cheap rare equips…

2) Use ranged weapons to level up. Always summon your elementals (you can summon two at a time: water and fire elemental is a good combo). Staff and S/D or S/F are very good to range and kite mobs to the death.

3) Healing-Evade (30-arcane)

4) Lightning Hammer, but is really boring

:D Tengu reminds me of this

CD is high, but is ok..
I think that it should be 1200 range and/or it should stun foes…

something like “omg.. What is this. What happened!” lol

I suggest going water and 30 arcane for extra healing and evasive arcana, instead of 30 fire..

Equip berserker/knight, boon combo runes, yewels knight/soldier for extra survivability

Something like 0/0/20/20/30 or 0/10/10/20/30
Withou EA you will be kissing the floor a lot of times, and the increased damage is not worth it…

Fire combo: 2.Dragon tooth, 4.Ring of Fire, 3.Phoenix (inside RoF, cast behid moob so the Phoenix will damage 3 times), switch earth (if you have done it right you shall be facing the mob face-to-face on the RoF border) evade for earth blast finisher, 4.Earthquake, 5.Churning Earth, while channelling Arcane Wave, switch water, 4.Frost aura for fury (10 air)

6×3=18 + 3 (on switch in combat sigil) = 21 might

You may want to add Armor of Earth (cast Dt and then AoE) in the last boss fight to be able to complete the combo with stability avoiding knockdown

If legendaries will be updated to have ascended stats, I think that a lot of people will stop playing this game

Here you will find pretty much everything you need to know

“Dancing” between elements it’s the only reliable way to do decent damange and keep good survivability (→water, heal, and switch; →earth for protection)

I really see no use for Dragon’s tooth. Idea: make Dragon’s tooth “floating” on the head of the target until it land. If the target move, Dt will follow the target. Evade with the right timing to take no damage…

I started playing in WvW 2-3 weeks ago, and there were good fights; last week I played outmanned 80% of the time, and I was planning to leave; this week I played 2-3 times, still outmanned. There is really no fun. For this week I’m out, we’ll see next week what has for us.
