Guild Wars 2

I have only 1 idea, fireball should “also” cause burning..because its a fireball..lmao.

Ohoni.6057:

well, even if you feel ele doesn’t need a mainhand, we ARE getting a mainhand, or a 2 hand. so anet sees it differently,and I don’t think they even want to buff scepter to make it viable.

How do you know that? I haven’t heard anything that would rule out another off-hand.

There was an expansion leak, I didn’t believe it at first, but some stuff on it seems to be true so far, as the amoon oasis, and Eureka.

Wolfric.9380:

ele doesn´t need a mainhand weapon. He has all covered. It´s a pure matter of “Style” if we get one. I prefer scepter buffed not a new ranged main weapon. What ele does´t have is an offensive ranged offhand.

Ohoni.6057:

I definitely want to see pistol, main or offhand, either would be fine, but main would be better because then it could get spammable attacks. I’d see mainhand as being more offense, offhand being more reactive/support.

Sword would likely be lame.

From my understanding, sword “may” get the revenant hammer treatment. It may be a ranged weapon, but lets cross our fingers, and hope anet knows that ele isn’t made to be close range/upinyourface kind of class.

We’ll have to wait and see what fate ele has in the next balance update, and to be honest I’m quite afraid.

CETheLucid.3964:

I was initially disappointed when I found out tempest was going with warhorn over sword, but in practice, I’ve found it to be a fine addition to our toolkit.

It’s a good off-hand. It meshes well with what we had and compliments all of our main-hand weapons.

That said the next one should be sword. I’d really like a FE:A tactician kinda thing for ele. We already have access to a GS with our elite.

Only real weapons left not represented in ele are the sword and torch. Given the choice between the two I’d want the sword.

Or if we’re adding new weapons to the game? A partizan. Spear magus go!

Don’t forget pistol, we do need another decent ranged weapon right about now..haha.

From what Iv’e gathered, the choices were narrowed down to sword and GS. but since they were “trying” to fit sword into tempest, and scrapped it. Next ele spec would be sword most likely.

yaass, awhole lot of yaaaass

+1

can you guys also work on Bifrost’s rainbow/footsteps? its so dim and hardly noticeable.

they need to fix the awful warhorn clipping too, sometimes the skills don’t activate, but you still get the cooldowns.

Wolfric.9380:

hmm 2 bleed on scepter auto would be overtuned but making it an attack chain with diffrent conditions, bleed, posion, torment would be great.

Are you some kind of wizard o.0 ?

honestly, my only problem with ele is the low health, low armor. It wasn’t that much noticeable pre nerf, but now its hard not to notice how easily anything can kill you in a couple of hits. Once healing got nerfed surviving in blood stone fen is a challenge since alot of mobs in the content 1 shots. I still play on my ele, I just don’t touch HOT content as much as when I did. But, I keep finding myself alternating back and forth to my reaper.

ele needs tons of reworks. weird how guardian and some other classes ( can’t remember which ones) had new skills added, redone and reworked. While ele is currently a fish out of water waiting for some reworks and skill changes.

Flame strike just got a rework, can’t you people ever be happy?

lol, thats not a rework, that’s a buff. rework is changing how a skill work/functions. Then last update ele gets nerfed, so..we can’t be happy it seems.

ele needs tons of reworks. weird how guardian and some other classes ( can’t remember which ones) had new skills added, redone and reworked. While ele is currently a fish out of water waiting for some reworks and skill changes.

there are actually 3 more elements ele can use, 1 from what I understand is taboo magic from what we see in bloodstone fen (blood magic) then the other two ( light/shadow-dark). if anything either ele would get those or light and dark would be replaced by arcane. Void isn’t a bad concept, but it would have to be combined with all known elements to be made. but your concept doesn’t really fit ele’s style.

I have 1 suggestion : Wash the pain away’s base CD should be 18 seconds (After the nerf, the heal really doesn’t cut it)

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Why wait around for hours? If she hasn’t moved from Frostgorge in several hours, when she does move, she will stay in Snowden Drifts for the same amount of hours.

Certainly unlikely she would spend several hours in Frostgorge, then move and only spend a few minutes in Snowden Drifts. Plenty to do on that map (if one feels they must stay there) or in other areas of the game whilst waiting. Check back in the map, ask in other Map Chats, consult sources for updates; anything but standing around lamenting the fact she hasn’t moved. At least, that would seem to be the logical thing to do.

Because noone knew when she was supposed to move. Could have been 10,20,30min or an hour. when you spoke to the NPC, it sounded like she will move “soon” which she doesn’t.If you go the haven, you’ll still see people waiting there, because “noone knows”.

I’m guessing it is daily, i waited 3 hours(went afk and did something else) then got irritated and went to bed, only to find she didn’t show. So, she most likely is daily.

BlackBeard.2873:

Ele won’t get a main-hand weapon because that requires more work to make 12 skills. Expect another off-hand, as they only need 8 skills.

Work is hard.

as that ruined and crushed my hopes on a new longranged weapon.I hope off hand pistol is an option :P

mained ele for 3 years left the class after nerf, went to rev.

I’m sure some of you have either talked to a live support agent through Microsoft and or Sony (Iv’e only used those two) and realized how quick your getting a support agent and your problem got fixed. Now, I’m not saying Anet support is slow or anything, relying solely on just email address can be daunting and camping that inbox can get disheartening.I understand they get swamped with tons of tickets, and feel live chat support will blitz through a lot of tickets in a short amount of time. The longest wait I went though with a live chat help was atleast 30 minutes tops. Knowing anet, they could get to it in less, and finish in half the time.

They also need to increase the sword range, if you look at alot of the melee classes, rev is the only one that has to be inside it’s target to melee.

Ganathar.4956:

Just accept that you are meant to be a support bot until the next expansion comes. Players in this subforum predicted this outcome from the moment that Tempest was revealed as the ele elite spec.

That hit me in the ele feels, I just hope the next Xpac they will atleast let us playtest to have feedback from dedicated ele players.

With the new PVE content out, you can clearly see how much trouble ele is having. Sure the damage is ok, but the surviveability is just downright bad. Jade bow construct completely decimates ele, and the heals doesn’t measure up to heal any of the damage being done to it. I was completely forced to rely on rebound at times (the heals from that is crap) to using water, my heals still were being out damaged.

I love rev’s survivability, but it needs more fixes, alittle buffs here and there, and new weapon or two.

l Aurora l.3902:

I’ve sent a ticket like 2 weeks ago requesting 3 things at once and I got response within 10 hours on monday with 2/3 things getting done and one couldnt be done due to limitations – instability of the technology (of changing an account name).

sad to hear you couldn’t get all your requests made. I still didn’t get any answer, and the support person who messaged me still is MIA. So, I’m going to submit my ticket in the 3-4+ thread and I hope they have a talk with the person who left my ticket alone without doing anything.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Submitting duplicate tickets slows down the process, essentially moving you back to the start of the queue.

Close down any duplicate tickets, and only update the original.

Good luck.

I’ll see if that helps, thank you.

I’m not getting any help, nor getting any continued help. I made a ticket, and within 15 minutes, support replied. Now, I got an answer around 7-8 pm PST. Only 3 emails have been sent, 2 that night, and 1 this morning. What irks me is, I didn’t get the help I sent the ticket in for, all contact just fell off the face of the planet. So, I sent in another ticket and nothing. I understand theres probably a high volume, but don’t get my hopes up, by telling me to reply ASAP, and wait 2-3 days for something that should’ve been fixed when that 2nd reply has been sent.

I find this the best MMO I’ve played and I’ve tried most of them – even Black Desert and some off ones.. but one thing (the only thing) that GW2 seems to lack is using desired spell effects that are really enjoyable for one weapon.

My favorite is the staff but it seems really out of wizard character and not fun to have to roll backward to put a good dot on something.
Would love it if we could move one ability from one weapon to another – provided it was a balanced move.
Black Desert wizards have the coolest spells I’ve seen. .but i could not stay there, since Guild Wars 2 trumps it on every other front.

Wish List: customized skills please!

:)

Hey,I was thinking about playing Black Desert.What would you say about pros and cons ?

Pros : It’s a very beautiful game, you can do what ever you want, fish,cook, make potion, train horses, combat. The combat is fun. The classes make sense. You can afk and train life skills(skills that contribute to economy aka smelting etc). Autopathing.

Cons: laggy latency, Open pvp (Once you get to lvl 45, people 50+ can openly just flag up, and kill you where you stand). RNG heavy. alot more grindy than gw2 is. World Bosses only reward higher level damage dealers. Melee classes get the short end of the stick in most cases of the game.

I havent played the game for atleast a month on account of the Open world pvp.

TL;DR This is a PVP mmorpg, If you don’t like to pvp I don’t advise picking this up.

For awhile I have been sitting on about 5 stacks of Obsidian Shards, and I have been wanting to level up an alt, but, I blew through all of my Tomes of Knowledge. So, I had a thought..would it be so bad to use our unwanted obsidian shards to buy writs of knowledge? Every 10 yields 1 writ or every 20 gives 1.

playing an ele, is like playing an instrument. Once you play it long enough you’ll get to the point that it’s simple. I used to think dagger fresh air was complicated, but playing if for 3 months, i realized it’s quite easy and rewarding.

I use staff for 1st phase teq then switch to dagger during the rest of it., staff for mega D, and Golem. Dagger/warhorn for everything else.

Alekt.5803:

I wish this overload had a 240 or even a 300 radius. 180 feels tiny, and with occassional lag where the target is an inch or two further than it is shown, it makes the chasing or hitting process quite complicated.

I also feel that it should have the same radius as air overload. compaired to the other 3, fire is the smallest.

TTS did 3 TT maps in the past. But people don’t wan’t to get on our TS to get more numbers.There are those that say " why, do i even need to get on TS for?" well, with that thought mentality is limiting the amount of maps for others to be able to enjoy TT. But, can’t force people to do what they don’t want to do, so it’s on them.

keep your warbler, can make a warbler chorus while being bored waiting for a boss to show!!!!

Iv’e been seeing less revs lately, I even stripped my rev’s ascended armor and slapped them on my berserker for later use.

No, that sort of thinking is P2W.

Shatterer needs some tweaks, my guild organized revamped shatterer maybe 2-4 times. His CC bar needs another look at, it doesn’t go below 52%, no matter how good the people on the map are with CCing him. And some of the achievements don’t work properly, like the branded bane, and his recharge health crystal. In one fight with shatterer, I i’ll kill almost around 40-50 branded, and get less than 5 for credit. His recharge crystals don’t give any credit either.because once the the defiance goes down, that’s it, can’t even get 1-4 hits in before it goes down, it needs a HP buff.

Keep, PVE/PVP balancing separate. The heavy nerfs to the revenant profession just because of pvp was highly uncalled for, the class has TONS of bugs that needed to be fixed before the nerfs. Have actual people test these class changes before they go live.

steve.2945:

welp, time to jump off the revenant ship, thanks anet, you ruined a perfectly fun class.

True lol. I test right now Precision strike and I can say only one thing. 4.5k its my bigest hit on single target with light armor lol

I just tested it too, my highest sword crit is 7.5k, i can barely even reach 4k.

I think anet wants to kill this profession.

welp, time to jump off the revenant ship, thanks anet, you ruined a perfectly fun class.

I love scarlet, and all of her work. i’m not that fond of tybalt per say.

Euthymias.7984:

Ranged: Shortbow (this weapon really needs more love, and Dragonhunter already has LB as its focus in terms of Elite Specs)
Pyre Fierceshot/Eir

chrono and herald both got shields for their elites, I’m not against rev getting a longbow.

Roxanne.6140:

I hope there’s something for staff elementalists, short ranged tempest skills are already a slap in the face for staff elementalists.

Thats what i have been thinking some time ago! necromancers get a trait to have their wells equipped with positioning targeting, why can’t staff ele’s also get that XD

coalescence of ruin terrain fix, and temporal rift fixed.

I was hoping, since rev relies on auto attacks, that this, in some way would give like 1-4 energy per hit. They also need to slow the OOC energy reset abit too.

would’ve loved some reclaimed armor sets :P

When I try to start the Fallen Masks adventure, I keep getting a error report, and my game hard crashes.

Misguided.5139:

Nephziel.6053:

I was using marauder with zerker trinkets and standard power shiro/glint builds.
The extra vitality for the price of the power wasn’t worth it as much as I tought it would so I swapped back to berserkers.

You will have more critical chance but loss of power makes you actually do less damage, specially in groups.

Even on the chest, which has the highest stats, it is only a difference of 20 power. However, the loss of ferocity is a bit bigger than that. I suspect what you felt wasn’t power so much as the combination of the two.

You do give up a little bit of offense, but you get more total stat points. Again, with the chest as an example, 376 for Svaard vs 343 for Zojja, a difference of 34. 67 of that is vitality, so the offensive stat points for Svaard is 309.

So, you give up 34 points in offensive stats to gain 67 vitality. Whether that is worth it or not is up to the individual.

i forgot what exactly what it was, but theres something i think a rune that gives you power from toughness and vit,so basically it isn’t a loss XD. I could be wrong, it was quite awhile when someone mentioned it though.
