Minor sigil adds 2 points for me instead of 5. Looks like sigil is bugged :/
I have more importan question. Why do conjured weapons have an annoying charge system?! Engineer’s kits have no charges and no cooldown, but are more powerful/useful.
They also need to change it to make it unaffected by autotargetting.
You can do that yourself in settings.
And this will turn off autotargeting for all skills. I think he wanted to turn it off only for RtL.
Why you guys focus so much in “learn to play” which was not meant to be offensive at all and the word “kids”, because they never stop complaining and discouraging people to even play the game?
When you are ~30 yo guy and some forum paladin calls you “kid” – this is offense. Not only kids can be dissatisfied.
As for elementalist: I like elemental mages, elementalist play style, but… but he is terrible. Terrible survivability (or damage in survival spec), more terrible auto-attack and even more terrible downed state. Plus huge cooldowns for main weapon skills (other classes have ~10 seconds, but not 30-40) and weapon range stuck in combat (pain for d/d spec), because some “smart” guy made conjured weapon with charges, and thats strange (engineer’s kits are more powerful and without cooldown).
Some ppl like elementalist as he is now… and some ppl like pain (they called masochists).

Key word – melee. One ranged mob in pack kill your wonderful ele. Of course, you can spec ele as tank, but… you know, my guardian in tank spec does better damage. Btw, try to aoe kite pack of undead mobs (risen trall for example), who are so fast like diarrhea.
To many noobs in first video. Using 100 blades or whirling wrath without CC is stupid, guardians didn’t use teleport and bane signet, warriors without ranged weapon etc, etc. Thats what happens when not bad ele player plays against noobs. Btw, warrior can kill ele just using rifle, 2 skills for ~7-8k damage each and short cooldown.
Braxxus
May be troll or may be not. I had same feelings when played warrior after elementalist.
Anyway, warrior’s faceroll in GS/rifle build is boring.

Warrior with heavy armor and many defencive abilities is not tank… facepalm.
Elementalist – suck ability far surpasses any other class.
Sorry, could not resist =)
P.S. There will be disbalance, untill A-net will make different skill parameters for PvP and PvE as it was at GW1.
Agree Icarium! I have insane survivabilty and do constant dps and literally chase people in pvp.
I use an earth/water build with 15 points in fire with the scepter and focus for pvp and tanking and I can keep mobs away in earth with my staff. Earth atunement is where it’s at and I just keep switching atunements when using a staff.
So you think playing only one viable build (tank… as cloth armor mage class :facepalm:) is fine…
When ppl choose elementalist to play, I doubt that they think “what a great tanky class”.
P.S. Thousands of hamsters say “ele is bad”. Thousands of hamsters can’t be wrong =)

Ele is terrible in PvE, playable, but terrible. Even engineer is easier to play. Bad survivability, terrible auto-attack, very long cooldowns (40 sec vs warrior’s 8 sec), terrible downed state, etc, etc. I like it’s play style, but I’ve deleted second char (to much for my nerves). And 5 cent for guy, who tell everyone to build ele full earth\water:
I choose cloth armor char not for playing him as tank.
Sure, ele is fine… With my full DPS greatsword warrior I can kill pack of 5-6 mob just using auto-attack without losing half HP (Healing signet is a cheat, rly). With same builded ele every mob hits me for 1/3 of my HP. To get DPS warrior’s survivability I need to build my ele to almost full tank spec (and get funny damage). OP, do you rly think, complaining people doesn’t use all attunements? Because its another “L2P noobs” topic.
I like ele’s play style. But with these low damage, terrible surivability, weapon distance stuck, huge cooldowns, worst downed state, tons of skill bugs… I just want to delete my char, again…
and make it channel able whilst moving
Sure, but with minimum 50% damage reduction and 40 sec cooldown. And you will get elementalist’s fire grab with wide cone of damage. Don’t you think 1hit KO ability with 8 sec cooldown is not very fair? And you want to move using it.
Just to compare: elementalist’s fire grab in glass cannon spec does less damage, lesser cone AND has 40 sec cooldown. 100b has 8 sec cooldown. And in riffle build u have 2 sinlge target skills with almost same damage as 100b. So warrior can do 8-10k crits by one skill with 8-10 sec cooldown. Sure, its very fair. Give my ele skill, similar to 100b and I’ll be happy.
P.S. I have warrior.
TS, before u create topic with revelations just play warrior in standart pure dps signet spec. Warrior does more damage and has better survivability (much better), and he uses just 3 buttons with GS-rifle spec. And at 20 lvl warrior get ~90% crit chance and can kill anything at PvE and WWW. I have warrior btw and I know, they must be nerfed. Plus elementalis is only class which stuck in one range. So if u need ranged attack in d/d build you just cant do it. Only thing you can do – crappy autoattack from support (!!!) water attunement with very “long” 600 range.
And 5 cents about complaints:
“Waaah, elementalists are too easy to kill.” – don’t use glass cannon spec (and get damage like support guardian).
“Waaah, I don’t do enough damage.” – use glass cannon spec (coz every ele use at least 3 attunements)
Dissonantly, isn’t?
I’ve just tried to make warrior after ele (31 lvl now). And what I see… He has much better damage, better survivability, higher HP in damage spec (~22k vs ~14k) and much easier to play. So when elementalist using almost all skills from 4 attunements warrior just use 2-4 skills in GS-rifle build for same or better effect. In PvE he just can kill pack of mobs with one skill (hundred blades). Regeneration from Healing Signet is much better, then crap, named Signet of Restoration. Because it provide fast and stable HP regen. At 20 lvl warrior gets 80-90% crit chance and does insane damage at PvE and WWW. End of story…
