Guild Wars 2

_ Why when I play my main Ele, I have to be 200% at my best to be just equally good to any other people my rank
_ Why when I just created a warrior a couple days ago, I “no brain-no skill” conditions to finish first of my group 75% of the time and easily those ele mentioned just above
_ Why allow people to leave BG as soon as we are 30pts beind to leave us in an even more unconfortable condition
_ Why when I check my death 100% of the time conditions are the cause of my death
_ Why am I bound to just protect those kitten points in that single play style (Btw why only in tPvP people seems to play by those rules?)

1) class balance
1 bis) game mode
everything else is not critical
playing a balanced game will be enough of a reward

Pedui.9704:

I wouldn’t see that dps I feel on a warrior

then I wouldn’t recommend you go for elementalist
pve environment provide good environment for dps as an ele, not pvp

play ele because you enjoy the gameplay not because you want to feel OP facerolling everything cause I assure you that you will not

Junkpile.7439:

Why you think that support class should be some super killing machine? Use staff and heal.

A.net official elem presentation: Elementalists are multi-faceted spellcasters that channel elemental forces, making fire, air, earth, and water do their bidding. What they lack in physical toughness, they make up in versatility and the ability to inflict massive damage in a single attack.

Zelyhn.8069:

That’s why we measure dps with spreadsheets.

and sustain the delusion ele is a lot more than just viable when no one dared to play it in the last MLG.

While I do agree I can pull out some very decent dps against those world bosses (who cares anyway), Any random “spirit ranger/ CC warrior/ condi necro/etc…” is AA+ a couple CD away from easily negate the potential threat I might theoretically be with this spradsheet

Zelyhn.8069:

Facts:

(maximum dps)
- FA ele with support: 9k + burn
- FA ele without support: 11k + burn
- Staff ele in fire: 12k + burn
- LH ele: 14k (short duration)
- FGS ele: it’s over nine thousaaaaands

- warriors: 10k-11k

kthxbye

spreadsheet =/= real ingame situation

let see it this way: if as an ele you manage to do well/average+ in tPvP then you are much more skill than other player, at the same level, playing other classes.
All those superior DPS calculation are valid only against pve large totem boss.

I play ele because I love the gameplay and forget the fact I could faceroll anything playing other classes with significantly less effort

please define “fun” in sPvP as an ele?

edit: I mean in this current meta obviously

Im so happy my main class since launch isn’t even here… oh wait!
