Guild Wars 2

Playing Ele since closed betas and it’s my main. I got all other classes up towards 30ish, but I always return to the Ele, even thou it has limitations in certain areas I still find it to be the most versitile, so it’s the most enjoyable one for me.

Are there big issues with the Ele that needs to be fixed? Sure, quite a bunch of them, but none that actually make the Ele unplayable.

The fireball has spash AE damage, which can be improved in size by traits. That way a fireball that lands at 1200 can do damage further. Also as mentioned, height differences matter in this game.

Perhaps not every class is supposed to have exactly everything? Or time to give everyone as good AE heals as the elementalist can produce?

@Felis Libyca.3790 – quote “3k crit auto-attack and my 5-6k crit meteors”.

Please – I want screenshots. Im staff ele too with prec/power/crit items and want to see that. If you cant provide some evidence I assume you are full of kitten.
And please show me (screens) your big damage at PvP. I want to know which our spell does such dmg.

This is the only picture I could find, it’s from when using S/D thou, but the numbers he is stating for staff are not even uncommon and can be even higher.

This is full glass canon with max damage traits.

While I do agree our timers are a bit crazy, I feel our class can shine if speced, geared, and played well.

And if specced/geared/played well all other classes shine even more than us…

Grats Eicherjw, you are a glass cannon who managed a big crit on a very debuffed target, but guess what? Other classes have done a lot more than that, and they can do it way more often than Fire Grab which has a 45 sec cooldown by default.

The only thing elementalist is really good at (compared to others) is healing (if done right), and this in a game where they are trying to remove the healers. Yay!

His build is posted in the 3rd post.

Earning money in WvW is easier and more fun than another tedious grind you can do i PvE to earn money. It’s only a problem if you are doing something wrong, just like if you loose money while doing PvE, you are doing something wrong there…

Explorer Mode Dungeons in Pugs.. Now that’s a money sink for ya!

Belmont.4682:

Diminishing return system affects badge looting, wich means that after 5 or 6 badges, i will be getting like 1 at every 30 kills.

This obviously isn’t true. I have 2500 kills and 500 badges. That’s a 1:5 ratio, not 1:30 ratio.

Sure, there might be a diminishing return, but it sure isn’t giving you a 1:30 ratio.

Oh, and I play a lot of WvW every day, 4+ hrs, and I feel that I get a “constant” flow of badges. I mainly defend thou, not zerg.

There is no problem with the queue, it is working as intended.

The issue is with the number of players wanting to do something that is limited, and as stated, the easiest and fastest way is to switch servers.

Other than that, you’d have to wait until ANet makes WvW bigger someway. Perhaps by adding another zone. Either way, I wouldn’t hold my breath for that. It will come, but not “soon”.

Belmont.4682:

Guess what my dear pvp peon, i’m only doing this jumping puzzle because Anet requires me to get 500 badges so that stupid weaponsmith understands that i somehow “mastered” the WvW part of the game and then give me the kitten Gift of Battle, used to make the Gift Of Mastery on the mystic forge.

IF you had skipped the puzzle and ran with a zerg doing WvW you would get those badges A LOT faster.

If anything, I hope they remove the badges and just have blueprints in that chest.

Americans have delay when playing on EU servers, i highly doubt they would like to play there. It is beyond me why the french speaking part of canada plays on vizunah in first place, when they certainly have less delay on NA servers.

And yet alot of EU plays on American servers with obviously the same “lag”, which in reality is far from what you seem to think. It actually doesn’t matter much in GW2.

Yes, have an American guild move to your server. Alot of American servers have Euro guilds on them just to make them have a stronger force for a larger portion of the day.

Sollution? Instead of incorrectly bragging that you are the strongest force in Europe, when this obviously isn’t true, you should recruit people that can counter at all times.

Sold.2173:

hoooly wow @ the amount of ‘I WANT FREE LOOT’ in this thread…
remember how in other mmo’s when they threw high quality gear at you? and it gave you no reason to play any endgame because you got everything so quickly?

thank you, arenanet, for not making this game so stupidly easy that i’ll get bored with it in a month. There are gamers in the world that appreciate you guys not babying us.

Grats on completely failing to understand the issue here. I suggest you actually READ a thread before posting in it next time.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

The 9/24 update has:

“End of Story Loot bags improved to only give green or better lvl 78+ gear.”

Is there an option to let us keep the empty EXOTIC bags and use them as BAGS instead of getting some crappy levle 78 green loot that we don’t want or need?!?!

Even completing lvl 60+ zone exploring gives you exotics, so you seem to be willing to hand them out easilly, so why not give us something worthwhile for COMPLETING the personal storyline?!?!?

I felt ripped off when I opened the bags the first time, and this sollution makes me feel ripped off another time. Sad when a game does that to you.

Atleast give us an Exotic back item, atleast that would make sense since storyline is where we’ve gotten the back items from earlier, but preferebly some really cool looking items aswell, perhaps weapons or headgear.

Oh, and what about a TITLE?!?! I repeatedly said that I could call myself different things during the end of the personal storyline, but still, no real titles from it.

Still no official word if we are supposed to get low level crap loot from those exotic bags.

I found no way to open a ticket or petition ingame, only way is to bug report, where they say that they will not contact you.

I really hope they fix this and hand out correct rewards to those that already completed it. This is NOT beta anymore.

I just finished it and I got 5 Exotic Loot Bags and was all excited, but when I opened them all up I got 4 blue and 1 green item. Lowest one being LEVEL 19 !!!!

So no, this is NOT fixed, unless it’s intentional, but then it’s a very very bad joke,

You get better reward from jumping around and exploring in a zone than killing the very final superboss?!?!?

Come on, this cant be right.

BadPint.8974:

The queue is more of a lottery system then an actual queue. Its absolutely horrendous that this has not recieved the attention it deserves. For many of us WvW is not only our end-game but its everything in between. Wv3 is what will keep me in GW2 long after everything else and to see it cast to the side like this is a shame.

Just so all of you are aware AN has actually already take an official stance on this via twitter.

It does not look like they seem to think this is an issue at all. Ha Queue Wars 2 all the way

No, it only says that raising the cap on the maps is not an acceptable sollution, to which I agree 100%. But there are lots of other sollutions and I am certain that they are working on alternative options.
