Just pick a warrior or thief and spam two buttons = win. Elementalists are extremely weak in SPVP/TPVP right now.
3. Although I don’t think ArenaNet really cares.
I’m confused. You love your weak elementalist so much that you play a thief?
These “fixes” seem to do nothing. For the first time last night I was able to play for 2.5 hours with no lag or disconnects. I hadn’t changed a single setting and was still playing through my router that doesn’t have the ports forwarded. No idea how or why. My friend on the other hand has never lagged since launch but he has been for the past two days.
The biggest positive is that we have 5 character slots to re-roll.
All of you “L2P” kids need to look at more than just PVE. You think that because you can AOE 5 mobs at once then elementalists are fine? That doesn’t take any skill. PVE mobs are a joke that run straight at you and act predictably. What does that have to do with SPVP/TPVP? Elementalists are seriously underpowered in SPVP/TPVP. They were nerfed down to the ground. We’re just asking for some damage boosts since afterall we are supposed to be glass cannons. Anet forgot to add the cannon part. I can do more damage in 3 seconds with my thief than I can do in 10 seconds with my elementalist. Is that fair? I know the class inside and out better than most of you “L2P” kids. They are broken. Try any other class in PVP and you will see.
10 days, over 350 posts, and no response from Anet. Amazing…
I wish I would have known how weak they are. Anet says they are going to take time to look into balancing the classes, yet they make many changes for other classes and they had no problem nerfing us to the ground after each short beta event. Which is it? They can take out the nerf bat after 3 days, but they can’t boost us after 3-4 weeks?
Let’s break this down:
PVE: We are okay, just okay. Not great. Many talk of being kicked from groups or not invited to dungeons because why take a weak elementalist when you can steamroll with a warrior/guardian.
WVWVW: Again, certain play styles might do alright like standing back and just spamming AOEs with your staff. Not really my cup of tea.
SPVP/TPVP: This is where our weakness shines. We do less dps, have less HPs, are more squishy, have no downed state interrupt, and are basically free kills for any average player or barely above average player of another class.
So they can nerf us to oblivion after a beta weekend but then it takes months to give us any boost? I don’t get it.
Alright ANet. What exactly do you want to hear about this "Elementalist"

Amen brother.
Haha no. Stop saying that that’s the reason everyone is QQing.
EVERY class is saying the ele’s are the weakest, not just elementalists. I consider myself an amazing elementalist, but I get roflstomped by any who even remotely knows how to play their class. I know my profession inside out, there’s nothing more I can learn from my class, yet here I am, posting in this thread that elementalists are indeed, underpowered.
You can say ele’s are fine all you like mate, but 95% of the games population disagree with you.
You know there is a problem when people are advertising “NO ELE” when recruiting for TPvP or Dungeons.
People are advertising like that because they’rekitten who don’t understand how the game works and are just jumping on the bandwagon. You obviously don’t understand the profession as well as you think you do because I play Ele and I roflstomp EVERYBODY. I absolutely destroy in PvP AND PvE. All this says to me is that 95% of the game’s population shouldn’t be playing Ele.
Obvious troll. Post some videos oh great one and show how you dominate. I’m guessing no videos are coming.
Total crap that good players will do just as well with any class. Elementalists are a waste of time right now in spvp. I re-rolled a thief in spvp and was facerolling in about 2 mins.

What don’t you get? Just imagine a thief that has half the damage, half the evasion and half the survivability.

That is not the case. I played 30 games of PvP today so far, and in 24 of them I was the ONLY elementalist.
Why would I go sPVP with my elementalist, where I can only kill 8 nubbins at a time, when can go WvWvW and kill 800?
I think this explains all of the scrubs saying that the elementalist is fine. They must be the wvw ones that just stand back and cast massive aoes with their staffs. This takes no skill. All of those claiming that the elementalist is fine for spvp or tpvp post a video of you “dominating”. I bet you get owned unless you are running against other pug scrubs. After level 52 I re-rolled a thief and it is so much better in every way. I love casters but this glass bb gun we currently have as the elementalist is pathetic.
I love when people say l2p when they’ve never played an elementalist. They are clearly the most underpowered class next to necros. Anyone saying differently must be playing against scrubs.
See the whole thread on error 7. For many people including me the game lags badly and then disconnects us. No response from ArenaNet yet. The silence is deafening…
Elementalists are weak. Plain and simple. They do ok in pve but at best can be average in pvp unless you are playing against scrubs. I re-rolled a thief and found them better in every area for pvp. Elementalists are glass bb guns.
ArenaNet please acknowledge this problem and give us some kind of update regarding your progress in addressing it.
I tried WTFAST tonight for about an hour and it did nothing for me. I still lag horribly. Game is unplayable for pvp. Glad it might work for some.
I’ve been having this problem since launch. Some nights I play for an hour with no disconnects. Other nights like the past two it happens every 5-10 mins. Lags horribly until skills no longer works then I get the error 7 and the game disconnects. I’m in Puerto Rico. Very frustrating!
