Guild Wars 2

Elementalist can be strong, but in general they need to press long chains of combos to achieve what other classes can do in one or two clicks. For instance, we can hit 10+ might stacks through a long rotation of attunment changes and blast combos, but Guardians just press 2 buttons viola 15 might stacks.

I have so far levelled a Warrior, Mesmer and Ele to 80. Warrior was by far the easiest to level and was almost effortless. Mesmer was pretty easy. Ele was hell.

And even today, with my full exotic zerker DPS build, I still have trouble fighting in PVE. It’s useless in PVP. WVW it’s useful in certain situations — so I built it into a nuke cannon that can kill en masse, and just run away to avoid dying. I literally can’t afford to get hit or I die.

So right now in WVW, all I can do with my Ele is kill a ton of people in Zerg, then run away from everything else like 1v1.

It’s the most problematic class I’ve encountered so far, but nothing can kill loads of players in WVW faster than Ele. You just need to sacrifice a lot and play really well to do it.

Here is how I feel about all this funny trait moving, which I have never seen in any other game.

All this moving and the weird balancing just breaks builds so people play more to buy new gear to change their now broken builds.

Maybe an expansion is in sight? Or make an additional one or two trait lines per class then give us more trait points. That would increase build diversity.

Crazy idea it seriously, if you want more build diversity, fix the weapon skill system to be more like Gw1, instead of locking weapon skills in place, then give us more trait lines to play with.

While I am so happy to have Blasting Staff in Adept, I’m a bit worried about these warrior nerfs. I just started rolling a warrior! So am I just wasting my time? Maybe I’ll play Guardian instead. Sheesh.

Ah well. That’s what I figured since I didn’t see anything in the achievement panel.

Is this title still achievable this Halloween? Or should I be spending my time doing something more productive than hunting pumpkins?

So… What’s the rune combination for this mad regen?

Ele is weak guys. You ele Apologists need to give it a rest. I’m not even going to get into wvw or pvp. I just started the game up again three weeks ago. It took me about three weeks to level the Ele up to 80 because she just sucked so kitten hard at PVE.

Then I rolled a Mesmer and had no issues levelling up. Mobs couldn’t touch me, whereas with Ele I had to rally and rally and rally and teleport to waypoint and get my armor fixed. Then I rolled a Ranger, oh so easy with a pet tanking for me! Then I tried a guardian, I didn’t even need to dodge, I as tanking it like a champ all by myself!

There alone you already see how sucky the Ele is.

She has her place supporting all the better classes with her staff in parties and dungeons but other than that all the other classes have it sooooo much easier.
