Guild Wars 2

LelouchViBritannia.3607:

Class: Elementalist

Worst Enemy:
1. All other classes

Lies. It is warrior, ranger, thief, engineer, mesmer, necro and guardian.

Oh wait…

Luke.4562:

Stop crying about Elementalists, they’ve been OP and good meta for a lot of time.. They would need a buff ofc, but come on, you’re getting yourself ridicle.

The game should be BALANCED, son. Who cares what professions were like in the past, they should be as close to equal NOW as they can be.

Elementalists are universally considered the worst PvP profession. There are NO viable builds:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Best-PVP-Class-1-January-2014/first

Not surprised Elementalists are dominating last place. The profession is just so badly designed as far as PvP goes.

LightningBlaze.4913:

The logic is because we have various ways to clean conditions and heal ourselves back up. Hp by itself is a lame stat if you don’t have ways to keep avoiding damage or recover.

HP is fantastic without those.

Music was good. Much better than 99% of the crap they call music these days. I am sorry you did not get your Bieber.

ProtoGunner.4953:

OK, if I understand correctly. They made that you need more silk to produce the same stuff as their medium and heavy armor counterparts simply to diminish the supply of silk?

If yes, how kittenING SILLY is that? I mean what the hell?

To help balance the economy, Im very happy with alot of the changes to help this, its is taking a very long time, but you can’t do it over night.

Also Silk is a t5, and all t5s are around 1.5-2s on tp, this should be the same.

2nd, you can get a stack of silk in 1 day easy, Ive had days where I got 2 stacks, doing 1 30+ fractal normally gives me 80+ silk, 4-5 dungeon runs I get 50-100 silk (depended on the dungeons, I get more for AC compare to CoF).

Every couple days or so I do, AC1-3, TA:Up/F, SE:1/3, CoF:1/2, Hotw:1, CoE:1-3 and Arah:3 I get well over a stack and close to 2 stacks when doing those, plus about 24g, yes it takes 5 hours, but thats a very good 5 hours for what I get.

I saved my silk for about a month and i had 30+ stack, I just sold 20 stacks a week before the patch and Ive made 10+ stacks in that week (doing extra sungeons for gold to get ready for 500 crafting).

I know a lot of players dont do that, but you dont have to do it daily, its just an option, I mean If everyone tried to make a exotic daily they will slowly run out of supply too.

What the hell are you talking about? Mithril and Elder wood are like 30 copper, while Thick leather is vendor price.

Also your daily playtime amounts to more than most people’s weekly…

Obtena.7952:

You’re assuming alot about the ‘original armor design’. How do people not figure it’s being respected if you don’t know what the original armor design is or how Anet figures it out in the first place.

You mean the 3% magic find?

The best part was the ticket teleports you to the terrace, from anywhere in the world. Of course still not worth the gold.

Mystic.5934:

I’m sure at the time you also didn’t think deldrimor would ever drop below 7g. all it’ll take is time. before you know it, it will cost you more to make it than buy it.

Mithril is cheaper and easier to get than silk. Also you need A LOT less.

Of course Anet control the economy.

The problem with silk is the amount needed. 300. A day.

Celestial really does not need another reason to be shunned by players.

It was fail economics on Anet’s part.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

The great thing about the current Daily and Monthly system is that you can pick and choose which ones you want to complete. Yeah I didn’t like the daily where I had to use the toxic stones or crystals, so I skipped it.

So if we had some type of Gold for AP meta, players willing to drop money for it could do so, and people who didn’t like it can skip it.

They could call it the pay-to-win achievement.

Sexy santa outfits please.

The daily where you had to eat the food/oil/stones/crystals was the worst.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Aaaah. Nice to get this thread back. Now to remove the silly infractions from people who don’t like Achievement Hunters.

NiloyBardhan.9170:

C’mon guys. I am sure OP is being sarcastic and is criticizing the inclusion of such an achievement where gold = AP.

How is wanting content that gives AP and appeals to Casuals being sarcastic? It’s not free by any means. You have to make the choice to give up Gold in order to get an Achievement. If anything, this would be a great Gold Sink for the game.

10/10.

I sometimes wonder what dream world these ‘Anet does not dictate the price of stuff’ people are living in…

The difference between the 3 armour crafting is the main issue.

Engineers are near the top. They just fly under the radar because they are the least played profession.

Protoavis.9107:

dietzero.3514:

The guy in the reddit link went 12k forges with no precursor…

I think you’re looking at it wrong, he did 2073 forges and got 5 precusors (and turned a 2.5k gold profit)

In the comments he talks about his worst run of 12000 forges with no precursor.

Gasoline.2570:

NiloyBardhan.9170:

C’mon guys. I am sure OP is being sarcastic and is criticizing the inclusion of such an achievement where gold = AP.

This guy doesn’t criticize the game, so no.

This.

The guy in the reddit link went 12k forges with no precursor…

Wanze did it.

Behellagh.1468:

You want a plushy tank?

Yes. Yes I do.

Charming Rogue.8071:

And why is minor and superior sigil of generosity at 14g, but major sigil is at 1g?

Just checked and yeah, you are right. Is the major version bugged or something?

Why would you make a tank out of gossamer?

MarzAttakz.9608:

This is purely a PVE build?

This is a lying back in bed, one hand behind your head, auto-attacking anything build.

Earth 1 is junk.

OneManArmy.9732:

idk about effectivness, but isnt it better use potent master tuning crystal for more condi dmg? and toughness food (+100 t., +70 condi)

Then you lose 50% condition duration, which is massive. You need 100% condition duration increase to make the 1 second Burn into 2 seconds.

Oops. I meant Signet of Fire.

cranked.3812:

dietzero.3514:

Obtena.7952:

No reason to complain here. If you don’t like the small increases, Anet has made it REALLY easy to convince you to not make it.

That does not mean Celestial should be extra bad.

How has this particular thing made celestial extra bad? You know we are talking about 1% right? Let me repeat that…… 1%.

Just so we are clear here…… 1%

Ok now that we have that out there. Zerk and assassin should get an increase if you think about it. Those two sets are all about DPS, no reason to try and compare celestial to that.

I guess they should remove stats from everything then…

reikken.4961:

too bad torment sigil doesn’t exist in PvP (why?), else I’d totally do this and see how far I can get with a single attack

You could use the Chill on crit sigil. However, you will not have 100% increased condition duration, which will make your Burns 1 second instead of 2. Of course you could click the Signet of Fire, but would be extra work.

I use 30/30/0/0/10 staff for WvW zerg fighting. Nothing like dropping 9k meteors.

Link fixed. Hopefully.

Click (with your mouse) Glyph of Elemental Power, then spam your autoattack in earth for 5 conditions: Bleed, burn, vulnerability, torment and cripple. Click other buttons if you want for blind, but that requires effort.

BlackBeard.2873:

I am trying S/F condi ele (inspired by you actually) with diamond skin:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJArdhMmibyR0wjEI0DwQogAMeoBfQHWPkDA-ToAAzCuI+S9l7LzXyvsfNCY2B

Diamond skin works better here b/c its most useful for kiting (no controlling me, suckas!) Also, good condi application between doom sigil, GoEP, fire skills, water chills, etc. Lot of time spent in earth though.

Will report back on its efficacy with more testing, but seems promising.

Edit: Had a wrong trait, using serrated stones, not stone splinters.

15 in arcane?

Cynz.9437:

bers and assassins get 1% increase? which pieces? because chest certanly didn’t

Legs. They now have the same crit % as Celestial.

Obtena.7952:

No reason to complain here. If you don’t like the small increases, Anet has made it REALLY easy to convince you to not make it.

That does not mean Celestial should be extra bad.

Malediktus.9250:

DeWolfe.2174:

Of course YOU don’t see the problem because you have them. For those searching for them, it doesn’t show up AT ALL. Hence, why people are rightfully calling it a bug.

I dont have them anymore. Sold them via the TP as I said. 1.6 gold each

Only people who have the recipe already can see them in the TP. Read the thread, please.

Aeonblade.8709:

Fortus.6175:

Despite what she has done, I believe we can get past this misunderstanding. Sure she has killed a few people and she should pay for that somehow, but think about it, wouldnt you want to have someone as smart as her in your ranks fighting Dragons?

I for sure vouch for an “alliance” of “mutual interests” (we dont kill you, you give us weapons and your subordinates, seems fair enough).

I’m sure we can all get past our differences and join forces, after all, didnt we do something similar with the charrs even though we have a long history of pilage and massacres?

#Scarlet2014

Heh, it’s a cool idea but I got to “as smart as her” and now I’m cleaning up the remnants of my Pepsi

Well she is easily the smartest character in GW2.

Way to make Celestial even more useless, seeing as Berserker and Assassin’s get a 1% increase.

Mormon?

That is an insane amount of silk.

Scarlet would have been fine if they had laid the proper groundwork, and put that great short story into an immersive game quest.

Instead we get that horrendous ‘she is king of all asura unis’ with no proper backstory.

Why do you talk. Like this. Are you. William Shatner.

Everyone hates maguuma.

Ah, ok. It must be the alt I have parked there. My main has gotten 10+ charged and 100s of extras.

I do not seem to be able to get more than the standard 3 quartz from it now. Anyone still getting the bonus quartz or charged quartz from it?

1200 range AoE blast finisher arcane spell, that heals you. Sounds fun.
