Lavath.8924:

Heya Jeb. I couldn’t help notice that your sig reads “JQ since beta”. I was wondering.. beta of which game?

I reckon you are trolling, but just in case you are not, and english is not your first language, his sig states he was in JQ since the beta programs of last year.

urzen.7096:

score update skldjfhjkhsdfhkjds

Is SOS lose again, who will we get their spot?

I dont care what they do with yawnfest s/tPvP.

But please dont touch our WvWvW ele

fishergrip.4082:

Signed.

I agree, Reset was not necessary. All that is necessary is perhaps tweaking the math behind the ratings a bit to make it easier for servers to move up and down.

Thank you for not resetting. Please keep this up.

Hugs, from your fanbase.

AdliBot.4718:

score update please?

JQ is PWNing everything and everyone. Now tattoo that on your wrist whenever u need a score update

Gankfest.4965:

The problem isn’t that the update has been pushed back to March, just that there isn’t any useful updates to fix the core problems like lag, culling, and fps/cpu optimizations. Hopefully ESO gets it right…

What a disappointment…

Beta testers have said Elder scrolls online (ESO) is not bad. A little like DAoC(Dark age of camelot). GW2 took some artists from Mythic that helped in DAoC and GW2 was meant to be the DAoC killer which now seems not so likely if they dont focus on WvW. This will mean the crowd looking for WvWvW or RvRvR type of pvp will be forced to shift to ESO.

So this gives Anet about 1 year to get their act on WvW or lose a huge number of players to ESO

Nyta.4769:

I also now get short lag spikes each time it loads the base model :/

The benefit of the lag is that i now i know in advance when an enemy zerg is nearby. Its awesome, its like legal radar. Similar to DAoC spikes when enemies or friendlies were within a 5000 range.

Kirbyprime.2645:

I’ve lost to other D/Ds

As a DnD ele, I hate fighting another DnD. First , if they bunker, no one wins. Second if they run, be prepared to run half the map. Any dnd also hate fighting another dnd?

Alquinon.2957:

Fuzzion.2504:

CD duration very impt to ensure firegrab multiplier .

Condition duration is a different stat from condition damage. Simply getting condition duration for that one skill seems like a waste as well. You can take care to use it right after drake’s breath for the bonus.

Yes captain obvious. …..when i said CD duration i thought you would understand its different from C.damage % increase. Neither are really necessary. Also note this , firegrab is better done after ring of fire.

Alquinon.2957:

Alquinon.2957:

With perma fury will come perma vigor, and that is a big bonus.

Well, that doesn’t really make sense. You should be a bit more specific, dude. 25% crit chance doesn’t trigger vigor that often, for example. Now and then, but not enough to make it permanent.

Speaking of which. When people say “perma stuff”, I assume they keep it up all the time, neglecting gameplay and strategy. Not necessarily a good thing, unless you are running only with noone to fight.

I don’t know too much about s/d eles, but for d/d eles condition damage seems a bit wasted.

CD duration very impt to ensure firegrab multiplier .

Timelord.8190:

Rangers are pretty much a free kill for a d/d ele.

Exactly

My free kill list in 1v1

-Staff ele
-SnF ele
-Glass thief
-Rangers
-Necros
-Guardians
-Glass mesmers
-Engies

Problem is, u dont really get clean 1v1 fights in WvW and s/tPvP is a yawnfest

Every new ele must go through the ritual of becoming a master.

1st—> Get yourself some Pre/crit/pow exotic armour
2nd—> Try out staff. Fiddle with traits.
3rd—> Try out sceptor and focus. Fiddle with traits.
4th—> Try out dagger and dagger. Fiddle with traits.

Following this (Spend a week each on each).

6th —> Get yourself the P/V/T gear which u can get with badges dropped from enemies in wvw or by AC dungeon tokens.
7th —>try each weapon style now.
8th-→ decide which play style suits you
9th—> Mix PVT gear with the other gears to suit you
10—> You are no longer a padawan

I nice set of racks would be awesome. Would be nice if they also jiggled like pom poms

Iohanna.4863:

Heard from a friend from a friend from a friend that WvW participation rate, along with how ‘close’ the scores are between the three servers will affect rankings/tiers.

Stop trolling :P

These are latest results

As a vulcan, logic dictates that Anet would comment and close a thread on such a rumor if it was untrue. This is logical since this was what they have done in the past, especially on post that suggest impolite changes without informing their fanbase.

Therefore, until Anet mords comment on such posts, and without basing this on my own personal experience and that of many others that feel the numbers lowered, the rumors are true.

If I was Anet, i would close this thread as soon as possible unless it is true.

Renny.6571:

Score upderp.

Very nice work.

Cant wait to keep this up when we(asia and oceanic) crew continue the
great work

Dragon tooth needs a faster cast time.

Even if you immobilize your foe, by the time the dragon tooth hits, its a little to late.

Or they could change how that spell works into a two stage spell, with first click adding grab and pull , with the second click discharging the tooth.

Either way, that spell needs a rework in WvW simply because for a SnF ele, the largest damage spell is the tooth and having it broken is not really appropriate.

Darek.1836:

I play a ranger and have nearly mastered the class as far as I know. If you guys can link me to any threads regarding beating a Dagger/dagger Elementalist I would appreciate it, since I find them pretty tough to beat. Also disregard the fact that Im ranger and just explain how ANY class can beat you, thanks.

Also I mean in a 1v1 situation.

The problem fighting eles is that most of us are aware when the fight is going ugly and instead of risking it we cantrip, then lightning flash and RTL away.

We are one of the best escape artists known in gw2.

Rule no.1 when fighting an ele. —> When you cant take dnd ele down in under 15 secs, dont bother.

Very experienced eles will tell you there is no real specific build that is “the one”

Most agree with water being from 20 to 30

Most agree with Arcane being from 10 to 30

Most agree with air ranging from 10 to 30

Most agree on fire being 0 to 30

Most agree on earth ranging from 0 to 30

Congrats you answered your own post.

I would like to add the combination for dnd ele fighting 1 thief.

Hit 3 in air, 4 in fire, 3 in earth , 4 then 3 in water and switch back to air.

2 thieves can be a problem.

Note when you down a thief , hang in there and hit aoe spells and wait for thief to stealth.

On a side note, can some explain to me what I am missing about the forum rules so I don’t get banned again? I got infracted for quoting a post, but the post I quoted didn’t get infracted. I must be missing something, so any help would be appreciated.

I got the same apparently, first infraction ftw ^^ Apparently accusing someone of trolling or maybe even insinuating that one is trolling results in an infraction. Did not know that was a rule, but I guess that is good to know :P

I have 7 infrations so not sure why u got banned.

The correct answer from the above posts are those that suggest hybrid builds.

Mif.3471:

Fuzzion.2504:

Exactly. Can wait for the day we can wear those aviator sunglasses in WvW

Hell yes!

(photoshopped)

I would pay 500gems just for that.

PS. Is that trinity from matrix

Anet is currently working on expanding the pop caps on wvw. Hang in there.

Serious.4839:

Score upd8!!!!!!!!

The scores are very tight. The fun 24/7 with substantial number of asian/oceanic guild in all servers.

Hows T2 light, anyone knows?

Note the benefits of cantrips that additional boons

Vissarion.6509:

What’s your armor in first pic?

Corrupted dagger

AC gear mixed with berzerker. Much check.

The Quaggan is sooo friggin tiny though.

30% Bigger and add some blue coloured backpack straps for realism and you have a winner.

The popularity of this item is proof that there is great potential in being able to further distinguish your character with Jem purchased accessories. I hope Anet continues on this path.

It’s also reasonably priced

Exactly. Can wait for the day we can wear those aviator sunglasses in WvW

Dear SOR, it was fun fighting with you today.

Scorael.8952:

Fuzzion.2504 you missed the point of the OP. He is commenting on how ridiculous it was having a warrior state that GW2 elementalist are better than GW1.

I have seen that post and it is nonsense. The warrior was saying that we output God-like damage. Has any ele managed to break the 10k in 1 hit yet? I have seen a warrior do it before but not an ele.

It is mathematically possible but rare.

Do we output like a god? If you mean burst we are 3rd or 4th on the list.

gezz.5618:

i dont know what stacks are in this game or what the ele needs to be effective. a bit of help? plz

When you change attunements it is considered weapon swapping. You will need Sigil of battle for left dagger for might and for the right , sigil of perception or bloodlust, depending on your stats.

Might stack increases your pow.

SO the OP basically wants an overtly and greatly overpowered class to the rest? You sir are either trolling or not sure what gw2 is about.

1. Is the class really as exciting to play as it looks?

Yes. You can switch to staff for long range damage or DnD if you are looking for close combat fights. Eles are also a pain to catch and have some of the best mobility.

2. How high is the learning curve?

Staff requires almost no learning curve

DnD is where the noobs are distinguished from the pros.

3. If I do roll one, what would be a good leveling spec to use?

For PvE , fire was my favorite.

4. Can you recommend a solid survival-based PvP/WvW spec?

Not sure about PvP but for WvWvW the solid survival spec is 10 air 30 water 30 arc

A modified version of it is 10 Fire 10 Air 25 Arc 25 water

Some add earth instead.

Not sure about sPvP since i find it a yawnfest. I know that in WvW the dnd is still fun

The Asura also resemble the Guardians from the green lantern series. Both are highly intelligent,small and mobile little beings.

Amria.2461:

Its a nice change, but sometimes the 2nd part of the skill just doesn’t activate for me :/

I to am having a little delay before the effect triggers. But its a nice buff to DnD.

kostbabis.8791:

This thread is semi right(apart fro stupid :P )
Rtl used to curve a lot less when you had no gound below you.That meant you could make some pretty neat jumps and have crazy mobility in spvp maps.Then it got changed and while it STILL lets you travel through gaps it curves much faster and limits the jumps you can make.
But keep in mind that the new rtl also autotracks and homes to your enemy so just try to use your mind a bit before deciding to make a post in the official forums..

Yes the auto-track is much better. With the changes on jumping gaps (that were made sometime ago fyi)

Take note that if you RTL down a cliff that would normally take 80% falling damage will kill you instead.

RTL can be engaged prior to hitting water to give u a water speed boost.

I drop the fiery greatsword before either taking a camp, a keep door or if a 60 man zerg is about to occur. 90% of the time they are picked up.

They do a great amount of damage on doors,npcs and clusters of players.

I have seen an improvement. I can now spot enemies from a great distance. However, like others have noted, friendlies render last.

Minoru.1237:

Well, BG I hope you get enough points to stay in for the next match. BG, SoR, JQ sounds like fun.

I would love that as well. But arent all servers getting reset next week?

They look really funky + u can support Anet

New additions 21/6/13

So its 1500gold just in raw materials?

I got this

http://www.guildwars2-crafting.com/mystic-forge/legendary-weapon-guides/the-incinerator/

My question is , assuming I buy what I can buy from TP, how much would it cost me in grand total? 500g? 1000g?

I have 600k Karma and almost 500 badges hence my curiosity , esp since badges arent used to get ascended gear.

Play everyday since day 1 in JQ. I must say, the dedication put by all the GMs and players new and old is remarkable.

Reminds me of DAOC so much.

Very sure JQ will be the best server for years to come.

[EMP]Fuzzionx

Here is what i actually think will happen:

Cleansing would be removed under water line 30 spec

Recast timer on staff spells will be 20% longer

And thats about it. The reasoning why i am saying this. Simple because if they remove too much they will force ele’s to quit the game.

Remember, they can also make changes for tPvP and sPvP only and leave WvW alone.

But i really hope they leave the WvW ele alone.

Flawed Victory.4321:

thanks all for answering. I checked and found something called wolf/bear offering, i wonder of those are the thing we are talking about. But it has got only 10min duration, is it stackable?

Not sure. But please keep us posted.

Strang.8170:

Blessing from norn starter area, can be purchased from the heart vendors.

They give you couple of points in stats.

A couple of points is good. How much are they and can u buy em from the TP?
