I had a decent amount of ingredients. Never once needed to purchase anything other than extra ores / wood from the TP.

But yeah, at 422 craft idk wtf to do now. I’m down to 20g and unwilling to continue lol.

Yeah it came as quite a shock. With only 100~ empyreal thingies to fulfill the requirements I thought it would be time to make it to 500 weaponsmith, simple right?

Would be doable with 40g. Actually, I thought I had more than enough.

Just how much do you need on average to reach 500? For so long I believed that ascended weapons were just a matter of collecting the materials, but now it seems to out of my reach that it’s just ridiculous.

I’m estimating at least 200g to get 500 weaponcraft? It was going alright until 400ish… (the iron ore part was depressing).

Just did a painful world event (lyssa) where not only I lagged the entire time, reaching unbelievable 20-45 seconds of lag before a skill went through, but also missing the chest in the process.

Yesterday I was able to play just fine, though I didn’t try at this hour (4:30pm CST). Why are your servers so terrible? I can play other games just fine.

I play from south america, a region that also had issues in the past (but according to arenanet, it was every single one of our ISPs, and not on their end).

Fix your cute game, thanks.

Conditionele

I just can’t picture ever being afraid of engaging a condi ele. It’s not a powerful build.

Facing a mesmer, a skilled thief or an engi in wvw? It can be quite tricky. But to say “lol today I lost to a condition ele, that build is just too much”… haha, not in a million years.

I fail to see how it even works. My ether renewal cleanses all your conditions, my anti projectile prevents you from reapplying them, and I can lightning flash out of any immobilize combo if all my other condi removals are down.

Today I lost to a Focus ele. First loss to an ele in a long time

Focus isn’t bad doe

Dagger Focus, even more embarrassing lol.
I have been using S/F for a long time now. The Dagger skills, you think they are buggy under normal situations, try adding 300-500ms to that and see how many work :/

Why is it embarrassing? I use d/f, would like a duel sometime.

The only ele I flat out admit that I can’t beat is lightningblaze. I can’t frankly remember any other ele vs ele duel in spvp or wvw. (surely it happened… but so not often that I already forgot)

I agree armor of earth does not work like a proper stun breaker.

Pre-change lightning flash would instantly help me recover when I was knocked down, but if I use armor of earth while knocked down? it does nothing, I’m still knocked down.

Launched or kded?

Are those different? o_O maybe stun breakers don’t work the way I thought they did.

What was the point in the blink-nerf again?

Razor.6392

Simple: Too much of an advantage. Being able to instantly clear 900/1200 distance is already one of the best things in the game. If you could clear heights as well it would be far too good a getaway/close in.

Thieves and mesmers can do it tho

I guess that’s fair.

Evasive Arcana in Water = Frozen Burst

in Elementalist

Posted by: Razor.6392

Razor.6392

EA is not just used for the water heal. People also use it as a blast finisher for earth and also aoe fire puts out nice direct damage. The only weak one is the air where you have to dodge into the target to blind.

EA heal is huge to survivability. People either need it OR the 15 water trait for extra heals. If they nerf EA heal to a chill effect (it would be a complete nerf) then everyone would just spec 15 water as the new mandatory trait. That would make already crappy build diversity worse.

They need to buff our terrible traits, not nerf our only useful ones.

If Elementalists need Healing Ripple and/or Evasive Arcana to be viable it’s unhealthy for the class as a whole and needs to be fixed. Obviously this would include reworking or buffing other traits to more evenly distribute power across the class’ trait trees.

Go back to LoL please.

1. earth (have earth2 casted)
2. switch to air faceroll arcane blast 123
3. switch to fire before air 1 channel expires (you will crit and air cd will refresh)
4. if you have time cast phoenix, if you dont instantly switch back to air and repeat step 2.

Earthquake, updraft, phoenix, fire grab, churning earth and dragon’s tooth can all be used in creative ways in the middle of that rotation.

The downside is that phantasm mesmers (or mesmers as a whole) can really be hard to manage. Scepter has no reliable AoE abilities or good autoattacks.

Evasive Arcana in Water = Frozen Burst

in Elementalist

Posted by: Razor.6392

Razor.6392

The reason water and arcana feel mandatory are because of the important stats on top of nice traits.
Lowest hp bracket=need more vitality and heals= water
All builds need swapping=intelligence=arcana (except for fresh air and burst builds)

The line would still feel as mandetory tbh, this is just nerfing EA, which I feel competes with elemental surge fairly well as it is.

Who in their right mind would take Elemental Surge over Evasive Arcana…?

It’s better than EA when running arcane wave and power.

trying to fit 2 arcanes in your utilities already makes it worse.

Burning Speed

Posted by: Razor.6392

Razor.6392

you can always lightning flash to correct your position.

Yeah, lets waste a utility skill when most of my builds cant fit in a lightning flash.
For anyone else saying theyd rather have it not home in on their target, then you dont understand that if it did home in on your target, you have the option to do BOTH. simply de target your opponent, there you go The fact that it doesnt home in, simply means that you can never play how you want to. I am going to repeat myself. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT PREFER IT NOT HOME IN, THEN IF THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED YOU CAN DE-TARGET YOUR OPPONENT ive got some experience in the forums, and people tend to not read the first time around. Maybe i should repeat myself again? i will if i have to, however, the problem remains, you are forced to play to a degree of skill which no other class is forced. What if heartseeker didnt home in on a target and you had to line that up? leap of faith? ride the lightning? Of course, if you like to play that way, then you can. if you dont have auto targetting on and you de target your opponent, you can play to such a level which you feel giddy with yourself. And ill repeat once more, the problem remains that burning speed NEVER homes in unlike every other gap closing skill.

If all else fails then you can try to get better at this game.

Staff works. Try casting frozen ground, shockwave, unsteady ground or static field before you lay down your aoes in pve.

Or you can just use glyph of elemental power in earth attunement to cripple things left and right? It’s very easy to keep monsters in your aoes.

Also, I have tried d/f and s/f in spvp, It just doesn’t compare to offhand dagger, I wish it did, but it doesnt. I hope they overhaul focus soon, but keep earth the same.

Why not? what does it lack? Is it damage? I do plenty of damage lol, and my added survivability and pretty much projectile immunity makes up for the lack of RoF / fire grab.

I prefer trading away some damage to get in return a ton of utility and survivability.

I tried berserker D/F in PvP once. Fire was junk, water was nice, air was disappointing and earth was good. The gap closers are kinda unreliable and there isn’t a lot of hard CC on focus.

gap closers unreliable = lack of your only overnerfed gap closer (RtL)?
not a lot of hard cc = 1 knockdown instead of 2? I admit they’re not AoE but you also get 1 extra chill / cripple and an aoe daze.

Even though D/D bunker build has seen some nerfs and isn’t as strong as it used to be, it’s still borderline OP. I can still charge head first into a 30 man zerg, blow all my cooldowns, mist form, RTL, heal up, and run. The survivability is ridiculous. Scepter dagger is also a very viable option, best ranged damage in the game in a PvP environment. The only weapon set that still sucks is x/focus. Hopefully that will change soon.

I can burning speed in, do ridic aoe damage, obsidian flesh, lightning flash out heal up and run.
