so classic dnd eles, any1 tried without arcane. ?
even better that folks do not have extra 2500hp
Tried with a mix of cav/knights/zerk and celes with full cantrips and 03033 and was destroying everything.
Ran ER with full cantrip. Runes of hoelbrak and might swap is awesome. Downside. Very hard to fight 3v1.
GL my fellow classic dnd eles
With the changes happening very soo, i would like to know if theres one?
i saw one in duffy but cant remember now
00666 – FOr DnD or 06066
Either way you are going to nee XXX66 for the general DnD ele
Good bye super hybrid builds. Till we meet again after we figure out the next meta
Condi eles have been around for a while but they were a small subset of the main meta.
The rework to condi + having 00666 + ER now a cantrip + stats adjustment + stack increase + trait changes = a large population trying the condi ele out. ’
They were viable in the past but are even more viable post-patch.
Certain stats scale really well on certain classes and for them the 10% will make a huge difference.
Anet, we love you.
Also thank you for listening to the Ele community. /Cheers!
GJ fellas
We only have half the picture.
As I see it, we are still the jack of trades and master of none. But
in groups, we will provide very good synergy. Which some classes cant,
even after the patch.
I did not really think about fire. Might also give it a try.
What do we know about stats

All i can say is “sigh”
I know. It’s depressing that anet will never actually make anything this decent.
I did not sigh because of that
lol
All i can say is “sigh”
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
snip
I spoke to a dev about this. He said that their focus is to shift away from spike damage and have longer lasting fights.
Wait whaaaaaaat ? XD
They power creep mesmer and thief burst to gokitten heaven but their purpose is to make longer fight ? …..
My day is starting rather nicely ^^
Well the dev was still nice to give his or her view. Sometimes when you talk to them, they will not reply with specifics.
For the DnD ele , you will have to master over 30 keys and understand a range of combat mechanics. So the question then becomes, do I really want to pick this class that has a steep learning curve?
I say go for it. Watch dnd videos and gear right.
HoT will be a host of changes to every class.
Anet is consistently making changes. So we will never know until the results are concrete.
The best assumption we can make:
Trait currently give 1400 stat points
We know all start are getting upped by 50 (since healing power, férocity and condi are 0base, i assume they’re not considered)
1400- 50×4 (power,preci,vita, thoug)
=
1200
meaning equipement should get 1200 stat worth
on a full celstial build, that would imply
That would mean 200 per stat.
So you get 250 vitality instead of 300.If you go for a non celestial stuff with hp, you’ll get kinda a lot of HP, if you go for full zerk, you’re screwed x)
I spoke to a dev about this. He said that their focus is to shift away from spike damage and have longer lasting fights.
If you live outside of NA, chances are WTFast will help. If you live within, then be lucky you do not have to face 150-250ms
We have several International/OCX/SEA/JP/KOR/EU/NA guilds for you to apply to. So during application , it will help to state your timezone
Also welcome to JQ
JQ is like a Bugatti Veyron
BG is like a Holden Ute
TC is a Honda Civic
I hope that helps!
ps. good bait thread
What is this eotm?
Leaked patch notes are not happening as often as before.
Reserved………….
The forum specialist has spoken.
Our traits, from the base knowledge of what we know is now a mess.
Let us hope they fix it before HoT.
Gotta agree. This trait works only in ZvZ situations. Forcing it onto us , it needs a buff.
The mojor problem with Eles using this sgil rather than the standard accepted sigils is that the radius of the AOE spell is just low.
Though seeing the upcoming nerfs to eles, we could see the meta change. too early to tell.
Good discussion.
Lets see how this will change once they make things official.
Come join us on Jade Gate Coast
Quote from friend:
- so far my only thoughts have been, hammer revenant new frontline meta unless there are some big nerfs.
- Everyone on Reddit is complaining that the Rev has low DPS, but the equipment loadout they gave you for the demo rev only came with 1387 power, which is laughably low. I think with proper gearing it will hit like a truck.
As it is now,
- 100% ranged combo finisher on basic attack
- aoe kd on demand
- aoe stab on demand
- moving directed reflect on demand, works with basic for life steal combo
- blast finisher/chill on demand
- heal is a full condi cleanse
- ult gives aoe damage reduction.
Basically if you could pick and choose, inventing the most op skills you could think of to put on a WvW Zerg frontliner, the hammer rev is what you would come up with.
END—-
PS. by the sound of things looks like DnD playstyle for small roam setups
Good match tonight. =)
Thank you. I wonder if anyones had a Rev Vs Ele fight.
Does anyone have updates regarding the ele during the beta?
How does the ele fair against the Rev?
Can a staff ele 1v1. Sure.
Should a staff ele 1v1. No.
Can a staff ele assist a 5v5. Yes
Should a staff ele 5v5. No.
Can a staff ele assist a GvG or ZvZ. 100% yes
Should a staff ele assist a GvG or ZvZ. 100% yes
Great post from someone who has absolutely no idea how to play staff.
You have 3 options for small scale staff really.
You fail to read my posts. I said you could. I just think small groups should run with the easy dnd or snf builds. Large scale, and im 100% staff.
Where is GM Proheals. I am sure he will will kitten slap the cheater
Good ideas. Drawing a compromise
- Without destroying the economy lets have these you can get for karma/badges/etc
LVL 55 30m Bowl of Chickpea and Poultry Soup -28% Condition duration
+50 Vitality
- These are TP sold
LVL 65 30m Bowl of Poultry and Leek Soup -36% Condition duration
+60 Vitality
LVL 80 30m Bowl of Lemongrass Poultry Soup -40% Condition duration
+70 Vitality
NA is now pretty much just Tier 1 to T3.
-A server where I can roam solo/small group and vs other roamers as well
- Constant action in T1 EB for solo small group fights nearly 24/7
-A server with fighter guilds, guilds who are organized, proper group builds and know how fight against zergs and larger groups
- There are many mature guilds now in T1 with builds and good organisation.
-A server with individual players/pugs having a high skill level in a general sense, i know I can roam with them and do well with them in fights
- All T1 Pugs range from acceptable to very good.
-As a whole server maintain the PPT, good communication, round the clock co-op, has TS etc.
- All T1 servers fit your expectations
On an end note, its near impossible to transfer into a T1 server now, so good luck.
You need atleast around 400 healing , 2.4k armour and 16k vit before going even lower.
Zerk gear hits hard but its not something you start of with.
Doesnt make sense.
They merged ranks to account bound instead of character bound to solve
any problems players got from this.
Removing player progression is just stupid.
Let us hope there was a typo.
Vit is taking a hit for eles in HoT patch.
Can a staff ele 1v1. Sure.
Should a staff ele 1v1. No.
Can a staff ele assist a 5v5. Yes
Should a staff ele 5v5. No.
Can a staff ele assist a GvG or ZvZ. 100% yes
Should a staff ele assist a GvG or ZvZ. 100% yes
thiefs are bugged.
also wats with enemy guards in friendly towers.
I think 400,000 gems should compensate us for our losses.
Didnt anyone get the memo? The ele is going to become the most powerful aura bot in game.
your swap sigils proc during attunement.
Rotation is an art with a little science.
But the general rule is, swap out of water asap, fire gives you good damage, air has knockbacks and good dps, earth cc,bleeds and protection including massive 7k to 12k damage on churning earth.
the best way to learn ele is to watch a video on the basics (i saw them around not sure where they are now) and then spend alot of hours mastering it
this thread sure did explode fast
