Guild Wars 2

Has anyone done any kind of hard data testing on this?

Yeah I haven’t really bothered to start messing with it too much yet. I am going to wait for the patch to roll through before I keep testing Ether Renewal.

Honestly I would say to wait until the patch tomorrow, then you can see the changes and get a feel for what weapons you like!

Also when you get a pvp kill it means more to you lol

This really in my opinion only shows how they may be a little imbalanced, but I agree. People will be surprised when you beat them, where if you kill someone with a one trick pony they will just blame the game.

RTL and grasping earth bug, please fix it!

In duration, yes.

@Albane Its not that I really hear people talking bad about it, I just don’t hear people talking about it at all. I just found I seem to have enough condition removal most of the time. I am going to start testing it though, thanks!

@MindlessRuff Thank you, I have gotten much better at using it since my first recorded fights. I am always looking to get better so I appreciate it.

Hello,
Welcome to my video creation thread. I hope you enjoy!

Episode 1:

All fights are either duels, coming back from health deficits or fighting outnumbered. The fights get progressively better during the video as I get progressively better so feel free to skip ahead. I hope you enjoy! Feedback, questions and video likes are greatly appreciated!

This first video was a three part learning project. I first learned how to play Elementalist. Then learned how to edit. Third night was a combination of both as well as uploading. Advice on both playing and editing are appreciated! Expect more to come!

There is a little Real Life/In Game dancing edit at the very end as treat for viewers

Check back for new content or if you comment, because I try to answer all questions in a timely fashion. I always interested in playing with new people (your level of experience does not matter to me) as well as learning new builds that you may favor, thanks!

Signed, I would love this quality of life change. As well as an in combat weapon swap. As well as more weapons. Hehe.

So when it locks you in place instead of going to its target, that’s also a bug?

I am interested in a summary as well!

Yeah I feel like there are a lot of things about the ele that if worked on would make an incredible class. Just not fully balanced yet.

While I do agree Elementalists need a buff, I do not agree they are broken. They do need bugs to be worked out, but they are still quite fun. What are your reasons?

If by custom arena’s they mean maps customized by players I am all for it

Hello, what would you recommend running with if you are looking to carry your team through solo queue free tPvP? (e.g. staff bunker, d/d faceroll).

Yes matchmaking and stronger rewards would definitely improve sPvP.

@Latinkuro This is not a rage about balance thread, there are plenty of those. This is about what class you enjoy! Please stay on topic <3

<me too> especially fixing some some large early changes made during beta when they only had 1 person working on balance who couldn’t have possibly analysed the solutions properly.

This. I was very surprised they haven’t looked at the elementalist again since the single person beta changes?!

/Signed. I love guild wars 2 and the PvP especially. You are doing a great job Anet!

Agreed, this was one fight. He really just outplayed you.

Arcane is in no way useless…

I am currently leveling in D/D going for toughness/vitality/healing gear. I kill elites two levels above me with adds joining the fight, and I do it reasonably fast. Its all about chaining CC and kiting. I love how engaging the fights are, but yes you have to work harder!

Signed and supported. Good idea!

@lanervan Thank you for your awesome, unbiased feedback. I am leveling my Elementalist now.

@Everyone, Good info! Great opinions!

There is absolutely no way they will think about nerfing Elementalists at the moment.

Shift 1-4 bound to attune dancing. 1-10 Normal.

Thanks so much for the great replies. Looks like Mesmer is the class to go. I was personally hoping for Elementalist, but you all put up just way too great of an argument!

Although, I wasn’t necessarily asking for the best class, just which one you enjoyed the most

Ah got you, thanks Genev

@Kuthos not trying to flex my kitten, but skillcap is not an issue. I favor the more complicated classes! Its why I have enjoyed Mesmer and Elementalist so much in s/tPvP.

@Genev whats the build that stacks bleeds and completely wrecks my face? Its the only ranger I have ever have to run from…

Thanks for all the replies! People really love (or hate to face) the mesmer it seems. Elementalist and Guardian don’t shine so bright then? I personally enjoy roaming and looking for small fights to catch on video.

Hello everybody,
This is not a topic asking which class is better! I am just wondering what class you find most enjoyable in WvWvW.

I am an altaholic and having extreme issues deciding what to get past level 40. I play Mesmer, Guardian, Elementalist and Thief in s/tPvP. I love them all, but may be slightly leaning towards Elementalist because of the mobility which I am thinking would be very useful in WvWvW. I am not too worried about PvE, unless it effects WvWvW (i.e. one class is terrible at farming and can’t gear up for WvWvW).

Whats your input?

I am rolling with the Forest daggers in sPvP, they are dope.

Agreed, please work on Elementals.

Hey have you done any s/tPvP videos with ele, what about commentary?

This is awesome, please do more!

Win. I loved the video, you got a like from me.

Edit: Errr… the second video I mean, didn’t even watch the OP’s video haha.

Eles definitely need a buff. Pleaaase.

Thieves definitely need to be reworked imo.

Signed, I would like to see the elites get some love.

Great watch! Inspired me to keep leveling my ele. Got a like from me

Yes, @TheGuy was right on. Thieves need nerfs.

I am trying to decide between Guardian and Ele. Any suggestions? I also have a thief… All lowbies.

No. Leave it how it is, or lower the recharge time on its attack… at least for PvE.

I personally enjoy 8v8 and would enjoy even bigger battles.

I love the pvp in its current state.

I would enjoy more rewards in some form, and I would very much enjoy more game modes!

I hope they add MOBA to Guild Wars 2. It would be a dream come too. Combining my two favorite game genres!

I also very much enjoyed the survival game mode and hope they have plans of implementing it as well in a more permanent fashion.

Both game modes would be awesome in some fashion of PvP!

I completely agree. I hope the increase the size of our weapons as well as creating some better looking 2 handed hammers!
