Is it just me, or do the downed abilities suck?

in Elementalist

I get the basic attack (1) and heal (4), and then I can root the guy who’s right next to me, pounding me into the dirt (or the guy shooting me, who didn’t plan on moving, anyway), or I can turn into mist and move a few feet away, only to be followed, then let the beat down recommence. Seems a little weak sauce to me? Not to mention Elementalists go down in 4 hits, anyway. Well, at least mine does. And I have on all vitality gear, too. Maybe I’ll try toughness next? Does it even get better, or am I doomed to die this fast forever? If so, maybe they should add a (5) ability where I can take out a pistol and shoot myself to save time?

Should I report as "spamming", or "scamming"?

The thing about these guys is, they hack accounts, and then use them to spam advertisements, which lead to more hacked accounts. So banning them forever is just punishing the person who got hacked, not the hacker. The best thing to do would be to ban the IP address that the hacker is coming from.
P.S. Do not go to any of the web sites they advertise. If you do, you’ll likely get infected by something, unless you’re protected by something like Mozilla Firefox + NoScript, and an antivirus software that is worthwhile.

These gold-spammer/sellers walk a fine line between both. Spamming is one thing, since it is unsolicited advertising for shady business… but on the other hand, these web sites these hackers are advertising no doubt will infect your PC with a key-logging trojan, so they can hack your account. Either way I look at it, it’s all underhanded and shady. And stealing accounts is downright theft. So… that’s a scam, right? So which option should I use?

I am now thinking what each and every elementalist is thinking.

The Elementalist is trash. I’ve leveled 3 other characters up to 50, but needed to take a break from that awful grind, so I started working on my Elementalist. Now I just want to delete him. He spends most of his time dead. The damage is weak, the healing is weak, all 3 of his healing abilities are a joke, and he has absolutely no survivability whatsoever. Kite? Yes, kite… into more enemies. And sometimes you can’t kite, because someone thought it’d be cool to have thin ledges and a drop that kills you. Try dodging and it’s over for you.

Is Elementalist inferior at lvl 80?

I think the reason the elementalist is so complicated is because it is broken. Badly. It needs to be looked at, and fixed. I have every class in the game and I can say, without a single doubt in my mind, that the elementalist is the most broken, pathetic and joyless class currently in GW2. I had never considered deleting any of my characters until playing this pile of misery.

Farming materials completely owned?

Yes, 96 venom sacs. 6 pieces of armor is 48, two daggers and two pistols, a harpoon and a spear. 96. I need 36 when making normal blues to get the same amount of gear. Making me farm 60 more mats is pretty cruel, really.
P.S. I’m not farming mats just to level my crafting, I’m farming them to equip myself.

is there a way to change the appearance of my hero

A complete make-over kit not ending up in the gem store would be a wasted opportunity on ANET’s part, in my opinion. If I could make my Charr completely over without losing his progress (just his physical appearance), I would. Didn’t they have something like this in the GW1 store?

Stop the Butter and Chocolate

Why is it just butter and chocolate? I still have never seen a lemon, or a banana, or a vanilla bean. Now I’m supposed to open a Snicker’s factory or something? Oh, don’t forget the walnuts that come from chopping trees. I noticed that tonight.

I farm everywhere. Right now I’m 50 on my thief, and I just spent from 10 PM until 5 in the morning getting 96 venom sacs in a spider cave. Seriously, the drop rate on these things is horrendous. And is there a reason why it should go from requiring 3 ingredients to make an inscription, to 8? This is really ruining the game for me. And aside from that, you spend all this effort to make your new gear, and then 5 levels later it’s time to replace it. Crafting seems to be a joke. Sorry, I’m upset. I don’t get it.

Farming has never been easy for me. It takes 36 fine ingredients to make equipment for my thief that uses two pistols/two daggers. But then it jumps to 96. Before this stuff was nerfed, it was taking me 5 hours, on average, to farm that much stuff. Now, I am about to just stop playing the game. It was very good, in the beginning, but this grind-fest has completely trashed my enthusiasm for Guild Wars 2. Completely.

Is it just me, or are these things OP as all get out? I get 1- or 2-shotted by these poison-flinging harpies every time I dare to walk into that cave (Ghost Stones POI). Anyone else encountered them? Not even veterans are this tough. Heck, only Champions kill me that quickly. This can’t be intentional?
