Guild Wars 2

Ok so, no. Earth elemental is a far better tank than water elemental, as it is TANKIER (and by a lot). If you add up the amount of AoE healing a D/D Ele will be doing it’s even better. Fire ele has its uses, since it does deal really good damage but is too squishy to survive for long. Usually I summon it when I’m doing events in Orr to speed things up and maybe tag some mobs I might have missed. Air elementals, as far as I know, have absolutely NO AoE damage, only single-target stuns and multi-hit moves, and an AoE speed boost that they only use when attacking so it’s mostly useless. I really think they should program them to use it when out of combat. Water elementals are a little less good at tanking as earth ele’s, but they do have a frost field, making them better for dungeon’s, party PvE’ing, etc.

My Minor Sigil of Hydromancy keeps triggering every time I RTL, usually at the start of it, as if I was switching attunements. Am I the only one getting this?

I’ve gotten chain-CC’d but nowhere near as long as OP described. Maybe 3-4s of pulls along with some chills/cripples/immobilizes (stupid Tar Elementals) but that’s nowhere near enough to kill my ele. Then I can proceed to AoE the crap out of them. All I have is AC armor and random jewels+daggers obtained from drops.

Lately when conjuring Frost Bow and immediately pressing 4, instead of showing the AoE in green it just fires the spell right on top of you. Very annoying when playing through the AC paths with graveling burrows :/

Seems so. I just had that stupid “Incorrect Password” kick glitch thingy happen to me while in the middle of my 2nd fractal, then logged back in and wasn’t able to get back with my party. Yes, the dungeon is really fun and very well made, but overlooking a flaw like this one, or simply not caring about it existing and hampering players who may have connection or PC issues or who are simply getting RANDOMLY KICKED FROM THE GAME, just ruined the entire thing for me. Very bad job, if you ask me, and I strongly think ANet should find a way to fix this. It’s just not fair and reeks of bad design.

I’m getting this as well, used to get it more often. Now it happens like once a day, and I play like 3~ hours a day.

I’m in the same situation as the first guy.
