Guild Wars 2

Evasive arcana on fire-air-earth adept and attunement
Cd range 11-8 on attun swap
elemental attunement on 5 of arcana
renewed stamina on adept

Make those change and u will unlock every kind of builds, sadly to say but imo every one wanna those traits at any cost… it s a must have for any ele build… otherwise this topic is only gossip… u wanna make more viable build just do this modify

I tink evasive arcana is a must have for any kind of build and 30 on water for more vitality and some good trait like cleasing like n 15 cantrip master so i have only 10 point to choose… i play zerker and imho a death ps is a bad dps usually i can stay alive only with this build so if they wanna change realy something they have to remake elementalist basic stats or move some defensive traits on offensive three… before and after patch will be no a real change… i ve played with some other eles with high ap 10k+ and i ve spent my time ress him every time cause of bad survivability on dps build.. best compromise atm is zerk equipment and defensive build…

I d like 2v2 as tournamen every day, not only on custom….

i’m a customer, usually big company spend alot of money for know what customers want, i tell him for free

The reality is that there is a business model here … I can tell you customers want stuff for free, but that’s not going to happen because giving stuff for prices that don’t fit that model will me the business fails to meet it’s expectations for ROI.

But if they place 1 2 or 3 euros stuff me and not only me will buy more than one stuff wich cost 10 euro… is not a problem for me spend 2 euro today for a skin another 2 tomorrow for 20 black lion keys etc etc tbe problems is not to spend money but how to spend if they didnt change anything i dont think i will buy anything… i prefear to spend 50 euros for 50 things that 20 for 2… and like i told i m not the only one

Well, the problem with elementalist is the survivability.
I’ve been playing about 1300h, died 1300 times with my ele.

Haven’t completed the story as some of the missions are way too difficult to play yourself. Like the Defending Claw Island, tried 10 times, then needed guild mates and waited that my ele is lvl 80 with exotic gears. (Manged to solo it with my lvl 50 necro).

It took 1300 h to do map completion and I’m still afraid to run alone in Orr & Malachor ie. trying to avoid combat at any cause.

And I’m always the first one to be downed in dungeons. Feel like the elementalist survivability is the worst in the game. I know the ele is the most difficult to play, but after these changes I might quit playing ele and change to another more easier class

My build might not be optimal, but

::headscratches:: Are we playing the same class? I went full berserk with a staff and annihilated my way through the game. I feel my damage is through the roof.

See, the problem is the gimmicks. I started three elementalists and deleted them all. They felt slow, uber clumsy, the damage was not all that. And of course, with all the railing against staff I never grabbed it.

Now I’m 95% in fire with a staff and most things don’t live long enough to touch me.

I play ele from d1 and in every dungeon my survivability is the worse of all party, i run full zerk s/d i have to use 30 point on water and arcana and 2 or 3 devensive utility… if they want us to change our builds will be welcome but we need more survivability… if u run only cof 1 or world event doesent matter but in dungeons and fotm its really important

Elemental Attunement moved to Master tier.

Most eles use this trait. You said you wanted to discourage putting points into arcane, but every ele who only had 10 points will now have to jump up to 20.

Every ele player I know that has just 10 points in arcana use renewing stamina, not elemental attunement.

i use both

ELEMENTALIST
usually i run as dps/support s/d full zerk gear with 0-10-0-30-30 i’ve done high lvl on fractals and almost all dungeon, i’ve tryed to run some dungeon with 0-30-30-0-10, like Jon suggested… i know that some trait will be different, but mainly is the diamond trait so about condition, so i’ve used some utility for remove it and have an idea about the future build… with full zerk and this news build i have 11k hp at lvl 80 and i’m usually downed in the most of case, no more evasive arcana, healing ripple, less healing power and vitality, and attunement swap also not really good … i’ve also tryed 0-10-30-20-10, for a better survibility, but w/o fresh air, attunement cd is too hight ( and will be also with modify) i lose alot of dmg, so i’m no more a pure dps as before, and my support is not good, so i’ll back on my 0-10-0-30-30 now my dps is not bad, but ofc it’s worse as before, but now i can stay alive, do dmg and help the party….

so i dont like this patch, also cause you move some traits, at the same tier, so my build will not work as before, and new builds make me a walking death man… i dont think that ele will be viable on hard pve content as fotm or some other dungeon… also cause a death player do 0 dmg
my suggestion for keep you way, is to improve vitality, and move evasive arcana on adept, or give a big burst to healing signet when heal per cast… i dont think any good ele whould be spend the half of time downed or death, also the diamond trait will be useless if i have only 11k life also if treshold will be on 80%

if u wanna balance the ele just need to give us more vitality nothing else… if u will confirm this change u will destroy this class on pve… our stenght is like paper, i have also a war and guard, and i feel ele to weak, war and guard is better, with those modify ele will drop down at the end of list of classes…

ELEMENTALIST
i dont like too much this changes only because we need more survivability, i’ve putted 30 on arcana and 30 on water for have it, i dont see how this patch will help me to change builds… my damage is zero if i’m downed i dont care to have more powerfull option on fire air and earth if my life at lvl 80 is 11k (scaled on lower dungeon)…. you should move something on lower tier like evasive arcana or elemental attunement, or move this trait on fire, air, this traits imho is a must have

i’m a customer, usually big company spend alot of money for know what customers want, i tell him for free

I’m also a customer, and bought a lot of Gems with money. So if I say things are ok the way they are, my opinion holds more weight. How? You give yours for free, while I pay Anet for mine.

This is how the business world works.

your opinion holds more weight? lol r u the king of the hill? i’ve bought alot of gems too with money for character exp tab, bank tab, and bag tab for 2 character, and now i dont think to spend other money at this prices, if they wanna more money from me should drop the prices

gladius.9460:

50-60g for 800 gems. It really isn’t much.

if u dont have a life and u can farm it, isnt too much, but for make 60g u have to farm alot of hours, onestly i make more money with real job so no sense for me to convert gold into gems, so i’l kback with euros, and 10 euros is too much

like the topic, any news about that?

i’m a customer, usually big company spend alot of money for know what customers want, i tell him for free

i dont think so, me and alot of ppl (already spoken with friends and guild mates) will buy more stuff if will cost less then now, 1 euro a skin another 2 euro for other stuff etc etc u will open more the tp and u will buy more stuff, now if u wanna buy something u have to spend alot and this will discourage to buy anything

10 euros for 1 skin its insane, or more for black lions key… i’d like to buy something but should cost 1 euro u will made alot of money, i’l buy a real vests with 10 euro…
this post is not a flame or something like that just a suggestion for u for make more money and make happy the players

like Whitey said, at the end of dungeon the game is done, if someone put u on blacklist for some numbers, he is a noob so he maybe will make u a favor… u see when u play if someone play it bad or not, dont need numbers for know skill player… numbers is for have fun… all game have this system, and i dont see those problems

elitism? i already saw “zerk lvl 80 only, gearcheck, no necro etc etc” more elitism is not possible
more stats will encourage you to be better, if u die 500 times and the average of the party is 50 maybe something is wrong with your build, u can also see that team mate have dodged 450 times and u 0 and u can understood something
atm u will do dungeon for token, and gold, after 1 or 2 months that u do that all days u will be bored, with some more stats u will try to increase your personal skill and learn how to play better
i saw also too much “pro” that speak alot and play really bad, with a good table u can see the number that explain how do u play

my2cent

When dungeon end i d like to have a dungeon stats table, how much dmg i ve done, how much i was downed/dead how many time i ve revived ally etc etc like others game, will help to improve yourself and i feel it funny and interesting

i’d like to see 1v1 and 2v2

1v1 allow solo players to do something competitive without hope in a lucky soloq

2v2 will help player that dont have team for some kind of reason (playing time, ragers, etc etc i’d left pvp for those reason, i’m pvp player and i’m doing pve, and i know alot of player that left pvp for this reason) to found just one teamate and play as team (i had played 2v2 in another game and it was awesome) 1 control point (less time then 5v5 for capture it) and some mechanics outside the point, like fire turrets or buffs

ofc need a leaderboard for those mode

so what do u suggest me with zerker armor/amulet/rings? in off hand i will use energy one, and what on main hand + runes? i was thinking about eagle runes + perception on scepter or is better use different combos? i dont wanna have too much crit chance cause with other buff like banner of discipline or other stuff that party give it too me i dont wanna go up 100% will be a waste of stats… but i’m really confused

i didnt understood yet if is better loose a bit of power for precision or not

i’ve read the topic and with the maths imho bloodlust is better then force, but what about bloodlust vs perception?

i play elementalist and i use s/d on dagger i use sigil of energy usefull on fractals and so i have to chose one of this for scepter

i didnt understood yet wich one is better for dps, i’m confused about force vs bloodlust vs perception.. it depend about classes or what? why i should choose one instead another one?

I ve done some maths of those rune/orb now my doubt is about power vs precision what is better and why?

R u sure about orbs? I never understood if orbs>rune or not

I use s/d ele and for dungeon and fotm i ve didnt take a decision yet about rune.. what do u suggest me?
My goal is max dps i ve looked for scholar and eagle what is the best one? So power or crit? Or maybe others?

My post its all about pve
I play ele till d1 and i feel good for any content, we just need more healing power and toughness as base and a powerfull defensive elite

dragonite and empyreal will be usefull for armor too or only for ascended weapon? and do u know when they will release armor?

there is only a boss, i’m talking about entire dungeon mechanism, and btw i saw ppl solo him

so play with your teammates and post it on youtube, show me how much you’re pro and how much i’m noob, is not a problem for me, but gimme something more than trolling my post

stop trolling and argument what i wrote, did u telling me that u dont need to stick all together at same spot staking everything and keep ressing downed? i see too many time this situation, if u r so pro lets do some dungeon together, let me show how pro players cause now i’m just reading kids writing nothing then blablabla

Quake?! R u serius? Isnt a mmorpg… i dont love to “pack” everywere.. i just know when i play dungeon all partyes skip all skippable part too many times u need to pack all together “near a coloumn” or something like that.. in other game mob is less stronger but u have to clear the area for keep running so u will do that with less problem as in gw2 wirhout packing everywhere without be downed every 2 second in some part… other stupid game have better mechanics, i love gw2 but compared with other game this dungeon have this problems… and btw almost everyone play shorter dungeon so anet cause longer is boring or not everyone is a kid that have too many time for play it

did u play other games? never saw that mechanics… some mob is too strong in my opinion and what the sense of skip too many part of dungeon? remove content if player will skip it.. really dont understand you reply, maybe your only goal is farming, i’d like to have fun with dungeon i dont care too much about farming, so i’d like to have some good mechanics and play entire the dungeon, not have boring mob part or harder mob part that everyone skip

i really dont understand why everyone in this game oneshot player, or bring theyr life near to 0
i understand boss that kill u if u dont dodge or jump, but in this game also mob kill u, sometime happen that someone will die and the other go at the spot, so the death man have to respawn and he try to reach the other guys, but mob/traps kill him… what’s the sense of that?
another things is about dungeons skipping part, its orrible that mobs is too many/hard and so ppl skip all, i’d like to kill everyone but normal mobs, 30 mob that oneshot u with a kill, and so ppl if is possible jump all that part
pls make normal mob easy to kill just to go from a boss to another, or with some mechanism but destroy this useless oneshotting mob everywhere… make dungeon playable

Agree.. the end game should give more reward and “glory” something like fotm or other type of content. I understand the living world is a strenght of the game but its becoming a problem for many players and the game cause in gw2 its better zerg everywhere than know how to do a content… also challenging contents is all about zerg like tequatl, make some mechanism like that for party or guild mission so ppl can learn and organize, can menage everything… its the big fail of rhis game, i love it really, but u need to focus on the right way cause actually u give nothing more then zerg for gold and mats farm for legendary and a no sense fotm as endgame…

this boss event it’s an awesome idea, but have too many weakness..
everyone have to know what to do, and u have to play with random ppl and hope they will do the right job, if u wanna play with guild u have to stay there for some hours for be on the main server all together, i tryed twice with guild and friends to do that and we was splitted from main server, and different overflow..

where is the fun?

i think that kind of idea should be a guild mission, so u can play with ppl that u know, with voip and enjoy the tactics and boss mechanism…

it’s pointless all that zerg, and too many servers dont have organization and u need just 6 ppl on the cannon that didnt know what have to do and u will fail the event

i’d like to use it also with other char without use bank it’s annoying :/

i’ve bought its pretty usefull but should be nice to have also for alts, like the achievement chest skin

is not about new event… its about the tequatl when i go to him i fight and then crash before event ending and when i go back i’m in overflow… is no possible that i have some kind of problem cause i crash only when i figh tequatl, and no in other contents… thats really weird, i’ve already send a bug but it seems nothing happen.. and i whould like to enjoy this new event without crash

70% of time that i do this event i will crash could u fix that, i dont crash in no other events, pvp, pve, wvw only with teq i will crash…

my personal lvl on fotm is 53, i’ve also played higher lvl like 77, and with good players you can do everythings… btw the first problem is about the man who open the dungeon, cause if he crash or left everyone is ****** and its really annoying, second big problem is reward.. onestly i like fotm, but reward is ridicolus, cause this dungeon can be 1hr or 3hr if u have problems (or in higher lvl) for what? maw chest isnt bad but for some hours it become ridicoulus, better do other dungeons, and with token i cant buy any kind of skin, i’d like to have one kind of token for each ending boss that allow me to buy a skin, and after lvl 50 (51,52,53 till 80) they should drop another kind of token that allow us to buy a special skinn for ascended ONLY
2 new kind of token is not a problem with a wallet, and now u have a reason for do fractals, cause now u can have skin, and high lvl give you special skin for ascended weapon (and armor)

i think that should give a fresh air to fotm, cause atm, i dont have any reason to play it

yes eu api it’s broken, btw i think ridicoulus that i have to use a web browser for know what is happen in the world they should be just add a tab on hero pannel for give us the world information….
anyway dragonite ore should be avalaible also with other stuff, not only this kind of event, i can do all temple 1 day, 2 day, 10 days then its become boring and no sense, its just pure farming and gw2 its really better then a farming game

u can found it with temple and world bosses.. the problem is how can i know when and where it happen? go to some website is the answer, so lets go do check for some event, omg one site is not working, another one still working, so lets see the counter.. 2hr for tequati, 20 min for lyssa, nice lets go to lyssa then.. i’ll go and i’ll wait, then wait then wait, oh something it’s happen, i’m pretty alone and i’l start with 2 or 3 guys it’s hard but we do the pre event, someone is coming and we will done, nice.. oh there is another one, i’l go but nothing happen, and counter reset, so lets wait for another one, then wait, wait,wait, maybe i’ll go to wc or eat something, i come back in time, lets go to see, nice this boss is spawned, kill, kill, kill, omg i’m crashed, relog, overflow “the shore is calm”

etc etc

now, i have an ele and i love fotm, so i will need to make scepter, dagger and staff… i have also a war and i’d like to grow up my guard cause it happen in fotm some bosses or some bad player u need a good guard… btw i have to look this site and jump from wp to another like a crazy, i cant really play cause i have to farm that dragonite waiting waiting and waiting and fighing vs overflow, lagging ( a lot of time i didnt got my chast cause of it) and this is really absurd

you should give dragonite also on dungeon, or maybe on the 3 bosses of fotm… dont forget ascended is usefull for fotm players, so you should give them something, btw if u have other idea…. just give us more possibility to reach that dragonite without play to “wait wars 2”
thanks

i play full screen it seems that lf party could be the only way thanks for the tips

3th time killing tequati, when he is 20% crash so i relog and i go on overflow and i get no chest, its becoming really annoying…..

i just trasmutated with another skin, but i’d like to do with ascended only skin, i mean, some skin that can placed only with ascended weapon

good idea, but u will have to do with pvp gear, otherwise will be gear based and is not a good pvp for me, a strenght of that pvp game its about player skill

that’s not the point, in a cosmetic game the apparence is important, and your skin should be reconognizable by everyone, just think about legendary without those skin… its all about skin, and i think that ascended should have something like that

finally i’ve got my ascended scepter, but its really orrible, so i’ve trasmutated, but no one will see what i have, and in a cosmetic game is not so good, could be a good idea make a skin that will be applyable only on ascended weapons
