Sigh. . . . tweaked my ele some more so it can perform well in it’s own party. (no one wants an ele in there party of a rev) http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFAQJBIhdSfJ0fJWgJ4gJwhJWEBM326cNvS0BSAHghAwA4+B-TlCEQBtTHg/UVRLKzQ4JAAAPAAlp0YLKBTy+DuTLQ/UrgUAZOGA-w liking this quite a lot.
Has there ever been a three classes only meta like this before? this is the worst balance I have ever seen in wvw tbh. This last GW2 patch was unbelievably horrible, I’m shocked at the incompetence and neglect. I wonder if any anet devs play WvW in the slightest. They couldn’t even remember to make siege an exception for the meteor CD.
I only just got back into wvw, took a two month break to find that I have to wait for the next balance patch to not get kicked out of zergs. I here “stop playing ele” ever two minutes in TS. what a kitteng nightmare, why did you screw us like this anet? why?

Staff ele isn’t viable in any part of gw2 atm, ranged in gvg has been dead for a while now. Anet could delete the staff weapon for ele in this balance, and gw2 would be utterly unaffected. Melee meta is the thing nowadays, most commanders have absolutely no consideration for a ranged group, and in fact don’t want one.
“Meteor Shower: This skill now has a 0.5-second cooldown when hitting nonplayer targets.” Just delete the weapon if you don’t want people to play it anet xD

Honestly with the build I posted up top I feel as if in god mode while in zerging. It’s quite perfect if I say so myself, but no one wants my ele to be in their raid because they think ele sucks : ( itfeelsbad
Was going to try zerging on this for a few weeks since we will never come close to the strait healing output of a rev, I’m taking a minimum amount of healing and have power instead. Hits the 3k armor sweetspot while in earth, pretty decent damage overall.
Honestly FA ele may be the most underrated zerg buster/ ganker atm in gw2 so at least we have that.
Well staff ele is no longer viable and hasn’t been for a while, and now rev utterly outclasses us in terms of support. No joke groups atm only want condi epi reapers, guardians and revenants (memsers and druids as focus group). If I’m ele main should I just quit wvw zerging till the next balance patch? I won’t but should I ? Meteor shower isn’t even good for clearing siege anymore, what a terrible balance atm tbh.
At least we are still sexy in havoc groups, S/F with FA is probably our best build atm which of course doesn’t work with zerging at all. Cele DD ele is amazing I have one but it never has the spike damage to kill anyone.

Being tanky and having this kind of damage output is simply unfair , ninety percent of soloroamers nowdays, are using one of these two stats on either a Thief or a Mesmer. It’s un dynamic in wvw as a solo roamer because of this atm : (
DIRE/TRAIBLAZER stats are a huge problem with balance.
Not even going to bother stating why, it should be obvious, I can’t imagine anyone disagreeing with this. Maybe if enough people will speak up, these stats might be nerfed. Post your thoughts please.
A message from the PvP Team:
Elementalist
Support elementalist has long reigned supreme, but we’d like to see elementalist bring a bit more damage to the table.I have no words….this prof has reigned supreme but we want them to put more on the table..shall we all play ele ?
Do you regret the 5 man ele teams and the supreme cele ele overlord that has reigned for more than one year ?
Please tell me because if it is what you want…I’d better go delete this game.
They are buffing FA ele, which is horribly under powered atm. Mender’s ele is actually pretty underwhelming since the nerf-bat hit it in the face a few months ago as well, and a druid is a much better support choice anyway. Good riddance tbh, healing is boring. I doubt many people are going to be on FA elementalist since is a very hard build to master, you have nothing to worry about. Last season, ele was the worst class you could pick if you are trying to win games.
So my biggest concern with nerfing rev is the following:
So first of all let’s be honest ele is pretty dam strong atm, not taking an ele in your team is basically not even considered. An ele had to choose between different traits according to matchups making it weak against some things and strong against other things. But if you nerf rev thus letting ele just take diamond skin, what will kill ele?
- thief? It’s not even sure if thief will be meta but if it is, a thief can’t stick to an ele as a rev and simply can’t afford it as they die to aoe cleave.
- guard? With the amount of projectile hate from the ele itself and other classes ( scrapper), it’s quite hard for the guard to kill the ele or other targets in teamfights.
I think this will result in ele being over the top and simply not dying in teamfights as they can just fully spec against condi builds thus making the teamfights last much longer as the ele heals not only himself but obviously heals his allies by a large amount.
This is extreme and alarming misinformation, why do people on this forum pretend, that what is actually by far the most broken things in the game (condi mesmer and thief) are weak, I’m really sick of it. Thief has tactical supremacy vs ele, tbh that match up specifically is the greatest disparity I have ever seen in any competitive video game since there is absolutely nothing an ele playing can do vs thief. Ele cannot close the distance to get a kill, cannot channel skills due to pistol 4 spam, and cannot even land an attack to begin with because of evade spam. Your only chance to land a killing blow on a thief is to go full glass with FA which also increases your chances of being killed instantly by a proper steal backstab.
As a “try hard wanna be best” Fresh Air elementalist, I am utterly ecstatic about these incoming buffs. I doubt anyone here comprehends how happy I am to see that damage increase to arc lighting. It’s nice to not be bottom of the food chain anymore in terms of balance, sorry revenant players : ( your nerfs are unfair.

How can so many people not see that tactical supremacy in almost all situations that Condi Mesmer has ? It can only get shutdown by thief imho. It also wrecks DH, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Condi Mesmer was my first spvp profession and I stopped because it’s too easy and overpowered. If you can’t see why condi mesmer is insanely broken, please remember to go easy on the psychedelic drugs, they are not helping you.
Please don’t pretend ele is in a good spot spvp, anet devs might actually believe that. The ele is worse off then any other class for spvp.
“condi mesmer is fair and a skill based build” said no one ever.
Fresh Air imo, is the only spvp option for ele. Ele healing is garbage nowadays and they get bursted anyway, it’s a slow and sluggish build that has a lot of limits. . Play Fresh Air instead, get gud. You can thank me later.
Thieves, by far. More sustain (perma dodge)and single target damage then anything else. Thief is a dozen times more challenging to fight then any other class. Thief is a kittening joke.
Second dark age of elementalist has begun and problably won’t end till the next xpac. I am just waiting for the gw2 version of nostalrius at this point tbh. Healer ele is just not fun, much like most hot classes. There is FA ele, It’s totally un viable tbh, but it can work with perfect support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hje9XWUEzO4 If you want to play elementalist and retain your soul with amount of satisfaction and enjoyment, then this is for you. I recommend slotting in lightning flash though, and the superspeed trait.
Pretty sure at this point the game balance is only going to get worse, the main game dev is long gone and anet will ruin gw2 as much as they choose to as long as it helps marketing. Our only hope is to wait for a private vanilla server of gw2 to launch like what happened with nostalrius. Maybe throw in a little “unofficial patching” to make the game far better then it ever was. I started playing this game in the last year, I truly want a vanilla server because from what I see on YT classes where actually fun before HOT.
