Guild Wars 2

I think the underlying issue with ele is you do not have much high hitting skills that cast onto a player target, or cant be cast fast enough to do sustained damage.

Skills like

Staff – Lightning Surge, takes too long to cast. make it instant.
Staff – Frozen Ground, make it instance, so we can get more comb’s with fire aoe’s.
Staff- Shockwave increase velocity so it works better on ranged/ moving targets.
Staff – Ice Spike Should cast onto a player, hover above their head as they move. it stills them time for them to block, dodge ect.

Scepter – Dragon’s Tooth Should cast onto a player, hover above their head as they move! it stills them time for them to block, dodge ect
Scepter – Shatterstone – make instant.
scepter – Ice Shards- make it add vulnerability or 20% chance to projectile finisher.

Dagger – Fire Grab, too Meany times does nothing due to lag? a fix would be nice.

Focus – needs a complete rework on cooldowns and fire and water skills

These changes would open up new builds based around damage. We should have the option to kill before we get killed. but our current skill set up don’t allow this combined with traits. We don’t need much trait changes, just need skills to damage so we not relaying on one fixed damage rotation.

After all i don’t see other classes waiting for X and X to come off cooldown so they can do X and X and hope for high crits to kill someone.

You are warriors, their is nothing to be impressed about. Honestly, try playing a class what requires some sort of skill.

they had armor, they all just run derker berker.

You enter to do achi sorry

Lag even out of wvw thier is issue atm i dont think anet is aware. we cant use tp, getting dc all time.

LAG everywhere, cant search tp, cant use skills, even dc in starter zones on lvl 1.

Please restart the servers.

Do you see the pattern? It might have something to do with product life cycle and the type of support and players an older game gets.

The problem with eles being pretty much broken to almost uselessness has been in GW2 since beta. During beta eles were much stronger. I think the issue is that Anet doesn’t really know how to properly design a class like eles, because they all play warriors.

Seen them in game, can confirm.

Starting to get really fed up, to the point i don’t feel like playing any more. All you get is groups of warriors running around pressing key 1 to win, im just getting auto attacked to death, while my pitiful dps as an ele cant out damage their regen.

I would like to add im dps spec, landing in at 110% crit damge, 70% crit chance, 3.5 -4k attack depending on how much might i got stacked.

I should be able to melt people, but warriors just run at me, cant slow, root do nothing they are just relentless in auto attacking.

Please balance the game.

This feels like that awakened moment when your break up with your girlfriend after they did not wanna know, but now they do.

No matter how much it is hidden by deleted posts, we know their is a great rift forming between the game and PVP players.

WVW

Zerg’s need to go, promote smaller group/guild play. REWARD US for doing so.

Balance, listen to us. All your changes are based around the same thing, their is no wide range of builds.

New weapon sets = new skills = new meta.

Hey Felivear, thanks for the post!

I ran into a VERY strong staff Elementalist earlier on live, and was excited to see it when I did.

You where excited? You make out like it is of rare abundance. Don’t want to sound like i am digging at your, but anet kitten detached from the game atm. One anet staff was telling us to defend bay, we did not even own it, i had to explain the colours system and that we did not own that point.

he even agreed at his mistake.

Ele is not in a good place atm, we are locked into the same kitten and cant use all wepon setes and armor types fully.

I noticed same thing, tooltip saying 789. it used to be over 1k….

If i cast say firestorm, Does it take my crit chance when i casted? or does it update with the new amount when i gain fury or lose fury?

Their is no buff to staff. misc changes we are not in a better place.

I aoe a group in wvw, all i got was misses and blocks.

Just wanted to say i feel really let down by the patch, no great staff buffs where added, infact alot got nerfed.

Why does anet hate so much on ele? but loves warrior?

You don’t use right build, all you gotta do is press 5 second cd skill

When summoning conjurer weapons, you can swap between it’s skills and your normal weapon skills. a swap will take a stack, both ways to balance it out.

OR

When duel wielding, you can switch the off hand weapon with weapon swap.

When wielding 2h weapon (staff) you can swap between another 2h weapon (staff) which would allow us to stack offense stats and defenses/healing/condition when needed.

It’s apparent ele has a level curve to adjust to its game play, so addeding 8 more skills maybe seen as op, but im like 100% sure only a handful of players will make the full befit from them.

These are just suggestions, alot of work could be done around these to balance alittle more.

Thats the route what has caused me problems. is their any other emails addresses what i can inquire, complain and start a dispute.

How do i contact someone at arena net other that using the customer support ticket?

You have zero points in water and no condition removal utilities or heal. You have what appears to be 10 points in arcana without the perma vigor trait. You have no stunbreak. You have to blow all your utilities and half of your skills to get your burst off. CC and condition spam will kill you every single time. If your target survives your initial attack, you’ve lost. You’re running this when the meta is currently very cc, condition and bunker heavy. The people running those builds wouldn’t even have to be good because they would hard counter you. I’m betting your video is only 2 minutes long because you could only win 2 minutes worth of fights.

Aww is someone upset i don’t play ele the way he wants me to, i have no problem making my build work, just cos you jump of the max defence, little offense. don’t mean other builds work in and out of group play

Here you go last 10 mins before i went to sleep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTw1wjEdRpU&feature=youtu.be I am really CC’d and conditioned to death, oh my.

Beating a couple of very bad players is not making a build work. Do you understand why that is?

Beating, work.

I run 30 in fire, having nearly 4k attack is sweet

How does this work against those anti-condi Necro’s out there that just transfer back all the conditions to you? I ran into one of them yesterday and it wasn’t pretty.

Conditions are np for ele http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PirAXgj5uig 155 bleed tick? try 10k dps tick.

No i asked if i had deleted the character holding the items. they did not respond with an answer that is the only thing i could think of where my item may of went. Multiple things could of happens to these items.

I don’t know, i don’t know what my name was before. but it certainly was not phi is sly.

I have been trying to raise a dispute about a cash bought item, custormer support wont help, when i posted on the fourms asking for player help, a member of staff changed my name to “Phi Is Sly.1857” and delete my post saying not to call out a staff name in my post. Which i did not.

Does anyone know of a route i can take to contact a senior member of staff?
All i want is for a cash bought item to do the purpose it said in the description, this account bound item, cannot be found on my account no more.
