Deffinitly worth a watch. You got skills mang i dont see why you play it so safe with sword/mending. You can deffinitly get big plays and exciting fights with sc/d i feels. Imtrying to get away from focus my self and use dagger but no having any anti prjectile is the number one killer for me. Im also not trying to use tempest defence because thats going to be a 60 cd making other things more worth while in the short run of fighting

> If you’re dying to confusion after the nerf you have serious problems. It does so little damage that it’s useless.
I play fa ele confusion ticks to often to much. Even on my cleansing akill cleasing fire, and magnetic wave. Both cleansing akills proc confusion so clearing it for me hurts in it self + you not thinking of the automatic diacharges that air does.

> So you literally have a l2p problem because you don't want to play these builds that are so carried by stealth and ports and learn how to counter them. Totally valid bruh. Thief and mesmer will forever be OP to you until you learn them and, quite literally, learn 2 play vs them by noticing what gives you a hard time when you play thief/mes.
been playing the game since release...i dont need to play thf or mes to know what to do against them. If you cant see how attacking invisibly is an unfair advantage then you got blinders over your eyes.....Invisable 12k+ backstabs or invisable 13k+ clone detonations is kinda unfair when most classes it attacks is only at 12k-16k hp it self. Getting a 10k+ backstab then haveing heartseeker do crazy amounts more damage the lower the targets hp is insane...im not talking 1v1 where the thf has to deal with gaurd blocks or aoe blind, im talking team fights where you dont see it comming....giving the target no chance to react or interact with the thf except for his stomping after an invisable 15k+ attack or two is no fun to play against.....its a great idea for the pros to do and deal with but they around? This game pro dude? Lets make it enjoyable first. Then tweek it to be leet? Yeah?
And honestly i dont play anything else other then ele. I also dont do pve i just pvp and that enough for me in my life. I dont really have time to do anything else if i get the chance to gw i wont waist it running around killing npcs ill fight real people anyday over npcs and mobs.

Name 1 other game that has you go completely invisable and allows you to attack the target with insta death moves? Such game play is game braking and not fun to play against.

If the player likes guildwars and the combat and everything else about pvp n gw then they should have no problem playing unranked for a bit so they can understand the combat and how different maps work and different interaction between classes and combat work out befor joining the seriousness of ranked...

> Mantra of Distraction is an instant-cast Daze with some weird interactions with Diversion, resulting in a 1200 range AoE Daze with no tell at all every 24 seconds (or more often, if desired). and turning Diversion into a 23 second recharge when fully charged. Again, can't be interrupted. This is untraited, as are your numbers for Garish Pillar.
>
> Garish Pillar has a giant skeleton float above the Scourge/Shade, so no, its animation is not the same as all the others. You also have the .5 second delay, making it easier to counterplay. At long range, you even have the ability to see what area it will affect ahead of the skill even being cast.
Thats why i think utility skills shouldnt be cc skills it should be qol skills, heals, protection, evade. This game has been gping sown hill since hot. They have no idea of the impact of there idea till after thwy makeit. It there game there ideas there deaign for them not to know how it will affect the game is just stupidity

Buut to have a fear a cc skill every 15 seconds that cant be interupted is a bad design choice and needs to be changed. Plus iys animation is the same as all the others so picking it out amoungst the spam cuz come on call it as it is spamming is impossible

Endure pain is a self sustain skill not a damage skill or a controll skill...its a self sustain that is needed to prevent the hurt. And it doeant even work against condis. ur idea is stupids. And to prevent condi hirt resistance skills do have a cast time sooo
Choose another skill to have acast time.

yes exactly this.....water has become practically mandatory. But if you know the 5 D's of dodgeball and inplement them into gw you can make magic happen. Lolol

Mm whos to say what they dont got enough already. Changes are happening they are on the forums posting a few times a week now. Exciting stuff to see.

Plays.tv/eddbopkins
I got tons of core ele gameplay. This season im dedicating my self to weaver fa sc/f sc/d.....i have no problems surviving with my initial burst if it fails as long as im not out numbered. Im not the best at all and i make mistakes for sure. But its fun and hits like a truck. Please no harsh criticism im delicate.lol
Weaver hits 10x harder then core. But less condi cleans and a very high chance you wont have obsidian flesh whem actually needed.
-
Its not that the scourge nerfs werent enough its that scourge it self is a bad specialization idea. Continuous pulsing aoe as large as the objective it self with the player pulsing and the ability to drop 3 down to keep continuous aoe pulsing damage, continuous corruptions, 15 second fears, just bad ideas in my opinion.
I wonder what else was onthe drawing board for the necro spec at the time.
-
/agree....to much visual noise.....but i dout anything will be done about it........i mean they took away ele aura affects for this reason and that was in no way shape or form a problem. As far as i know they havnt been brought it back in 3 years. The game was great 5 years ago. hot destroyed any thing remotely beautiful about combat, and pof just further pushed it over the edge.
Possilbe visual noise problems in my book mesmer purple skills, necro marks and shades, gaurdian garbage marks and symbols. Im sure if i looked around ill find more but those are juat the 3 off the top of my head.

Now with traited balance stance going to 90 seconds it will be possible to do gale setup then dps burst. But with tempest defence going to 60 seconds it just makes us vulnerable to every follow up attack a war does after they cc. So now when they shield bash and activating my shocking aura then they evisorate doing 6k+ damage to my 14k hp build whitch is ok they got the stun they should have an opening but shocking aura stop them from doing another attack right after that evisorate like now theyll be able to spamm there whirlwind or arching alice right after doing upwards of 12k+ damage with out me being able to stop it and practically instantly all the while my pheniox and dragons tooth are taking there time and i have to set it up and try so go d dang hard just to survive let alone dps...i will now have less of a chance to break the next shield bash stun and be hit with another evisorate and another massive hitting skill. All the while my dragons tooth gets cast interupted after 2 seconds cuz it takes time to cast and another 2 to fall.
What i dont get is why does ele hardest hitting skills take time while war does it all instantly damage wise. Ele being ranged doeant matter cus DT doesn't happen faster the further its casts. And with the amount of resistance they get kiting is very difficult if not near immpossible with there apeed akills such as rush or ww and others like bull charge ect
-
If ur lucky enough to have that war use up both its endure pains befor you engage it then yes u can 100-50...yes if the war used up its traited balance stance yea you might be able to gale it. But since gale and traited balance stance are both on a 40 second cool down you will in no way shape or form be able to set up a proper lighting pheniox lighting burst.
-
Warrior vs my fa core ele s/f, 1 hit takes at least 50% of my hp away, i hit warrior 5 times they lose 25% or less of there hp. Why?
Im useing maurder ammy so i have the damage potential.

I dont care for either of them. I main ele so i watch almost all ele pvp videos there is..i was giving my honest opinion about the game play......sword weaver is boring to watch its evades from its skill rotations is just a lazy way to make a sustainy class. I never liked the idea of evade frames threw skills. It just ruins combat for me.
