I was talking about Spvp for not roling solo. I was doing just fine by my self in WvW. If your playing a “Team” based game every class should not beable to do everything by them selfs, this isnt CoD.
It will be a matter of time before 100B and frenzy gets nerfed. The warrior is supposed to have high armor/health and after that 100b combo gets nerfed the only burst they will have is the rifle or Evisarate. I’m sure all the whines will switch to that. Or maybe they will focus on Theifs, who knows. One thing i do know is that the majority of these people crying will never be happy.
Tanking 3 people and soloing 3 people are completly different. You shouldnt beable to hold off 3 people with a cloth wearing caster. And i wouldnt expect a guardian to do massive AoE damage and CC.
Do you people really think that all class should be on equal ground via play style.
You cannot roll solo as a Ele. You need to be in a group, not sure why thats a problem in “Structured PVP”.
I’m not saying the Ele is weak or strong. There are to many variables. But if you are asking ANET to give you the ability to tank(guardian) or STDPS or lol100blades, then you might as well ask for free gold, skins, and flying unicorn mounts that shoot rainbow out of there bholes….
Is there even a Mod on these forums? Or are we allowed to recreate the same topics over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over….
Or we can play " lets go cry on the forums, while the people that are good at the game play it instead of talk about it"
I like that game, kinda wish i wasnt at work so i could partake in the later.
Ok, I’m getting tired of this…so now warriors, rangers, necros, guardians, mesmers, AND engineers can solo 3 people easy. I have one question….what people are you soloing?
show me ONE ele that can just solo 1v3 players thats not totallykitten
i would be able to show you hordes of players on necro, worriar, guardians that can easily solo 3 people at a time..
the point is that the BEST OF HTE BEST!!! ele can stand 1v1 against bambies and half decent players…
while the best of the best of any other class utterlykittenkittenfull zergs of those types of players (yer yer not full zergs but get the point they can easily do 1v3-5 players of those types)
LOL, if any class can solo 1v3, then the 3 need to go back to WoW.

I got passed all those story quests @ level 15 with equal level blue gear. Solo. Not sure why you couldnt. Maybe you arnt used to playing on the class, so you wernt sure what you needed to do…idk. Leveling has been super easy on the Ele for me.
Oh I love when the bads get frustrated and reroll. I love my ele and i’m glad that it’s my main. I love the versatility that you can bring by switching weapons between encounters when you know whats coming. Hell I can throw on a staff and kite adds endlessly or drop into D/D and melt faces. I can spec for bleeds/burns, might, healing… what can you do? Oh right, hit kitten with a sword.
Ele ftw.
This is so true, i wish i would have went with what i always play in beta (Mage).
Instead i rolled a warrior….and now, i’m hooked. Not sure i can ever play the warrior again ;p
LOL @ the butt hurt Ele switching to a warr and trying to make a funny post about blowing them up.
fyi; i play both classes. and i would stomp you out with either.
While I understand the arguments made on skill triumphing the drawbacks in a class there is an inherent flaw in the argument. Elementalist could be fine in a player who has mastered the intricacies being able to do fine in regular content, either pve or pvp. But the problem is that you have to master the class just to be “competent”. If you haven’t mastered the class you will die often before you even get out of your teens pve wise, pvp we might as well call cleanup after other classes get done with you.
Now take another class like say the engineer. I have gotten to 38 and definitely haven’t mastered the class quite yet. But I can still progress without to much difficulty. But here is the kicker, i’m competent NOW without having mastered the class. When I do master the class then I will inherently be ahead of the elementalist no matter what since they had to master the class just to be considered competent. Now they will lag behind the classes that have more inherent power just because they have no more to give.
If you have to master a class just to be able to survive basic low level content, which as an elementalist you do, then how exactly is that NOT underpowered? Even if you want a challenge, why beat your head against a wall for hours when you can play a more fun and accessible class? That isn’t fortitude or skill when you master a broken class it is masochism. If wanting to play a game for actual fun makes me a ‘baddie’ or ‘kitten’ then i’ll just have to live with that as I rip your avatar a new one.
Some people like being challenged, and some people like being lazy.
Just like some poeple like the statisfaction of beating the dog **** out of someone with a “broken class” and some poeple like to roll “FOTM 1 button iwin classes”.
In the end, if your playing the harder of the classes to master, your getting the most knowledge. Which would only be a bad thing if you had short term memory loss, or are just flat out bad.
Agreed, i got 2 awesome looking mace’s….and now i have to keep one in my bag…Same thing for armor, if you have 2 heavy armor classes, you can only have one set at a time? Makes no sence, unless in the future you will have to buy the ability…LOL.
