The approach you have to deal with that is making choices from the options you have available to you.

The ONLY thing that prevents you from playing whatever class you want are your OWN criteria for choosing a class. If your primary criteria for choosing a class is "_I've already leveled, geared and unlocked everything on this character_" ... that's your CHOICE and it's more important to you than any other criteria you have. > > Nothing you say is going to diminish the fact that making choices in evolving games, like this one, IS intentional as a method to deal with game change and it's one of the primary reasons Anet gives us all these options to choose from. Like, NOTHING. You are calling me a lair over and over so i NEED to make a point about it. I have not called you a lair once and i believe you truly believe what your saying. I just think you put so much into the game that you cant make it feel worthless by pointing out a massive flaw in the game. MMO update for sure but you can and you MUST point out when they are evolving in such a way that is wrong to the player base. It dose sadly every thing in this game is progression even if its not gear progression (all though there is some of that in it as well) from WP to quest there are progression in this game for every thing you do. And these take time and often are character locked. Sure you can play a new class after you go though all of the work of building up another alt. Every LS and every expansion makes it harder to do this.

If someone plays a class, it MUST satisfy some criteria they have to make that choice. There is clearly something wrong with their own criteria if they choose a class that they have convinced themselves they want to play ... but don't like playing. Therefore, the idea they choose a different class isn't so unreasonable after all is it. > > > > > > > > > > I mean ... listen to yourself ... people WANT to play a class that DOESN'T satisfy the way they want to play the game.

So basically, if you are saying you want to continue playing class that no longer satisfies how you want to play the game, there isn't a problem here because that's your choice and your criteria of 'class' is more important to you than 'satisfying play' in that choice. That's not a problem Anet needs to fix because Anet can't cater to each player's idea about how the game should work. Again ... if that's a problem, it's with your criteria for choosing a class. > > > > > > You're so unwilling to recognize the validity of class choice, yet it's a fundamental aspect of a multi-classed MMO. We aren't going to go in a circle here. You have criteria ... you make choices based on those criteria. MMO's change and that might mean you also have to make a change to what you enjoy playing as a class if you don't change your criteria. That's not some weird, exceptional scenario. If you expect to never have to re-evaluate your choices as a game evolves, you are just not being a reasonable patron of MMO. I guess that sort of goes inhand with your willingness to use untruthful statements to justify game changes or your claims that especs are P2W. > > > > > > > Its not like ppl went away and came back to the class and found it no longer good ... > > That doesn't matter; nothing in your post changes what I keep telling you is true. You have criteria ... you make choices based on those criteria. MMO's change and you might have to make a change to what you enjoy playing as a class if you don't change your criteria. You've dishonestly tried to dismiss making a change to what or how you play as a viable solution to the problem of playing something you don't like. You aren't going to escape that with continually saying things that are irrelevant or untrue. > > > You cant make your character a different class out side of elite spec ... your character has a full story behind it > > That's doesn't prevent playing different classes. That's just one of many criteria you use to choose a class. If you re-evaluate your criteria, then 'class' not a barrier to making a different class choice. Anet can't cater to all the individuals for how and what they want to play. It's why we have those choices. > > See here is the big problem ... you don't address what I'm saying to you, probably because you know what I'm saying is true. You just continue to say different things, most of them irrelevant or untrue, to try (and fail) showing that different choices are an unreasonable solution to things you don't like. The more you continue you say irrelevant or untrue things to me, the farther you get from reasoning ele should get changed. > > I'm not against classes getting changed, but certainly not based on untrue or irrelevant reasons like this thread does. I am being blunt about my views ppl play a class for years then have the rug pulled out from under them because of new things anet want to promote. It is good reason to dislike what anet has done and the chose they made. Every player is very much with in there right to point out this error of anet. You realty cant play what ever class you want because the game builds on it self it takes time to unlock and to build up a character and as anet added in more gear and things to build up to the grind has only gotten worst. This game is NOT made for alts and its getting worst for them every day.

They are good when they are on slow very showy skills but they are broken on fast hard to see skills.

You cant make your character a different class out side of elite spec. MMORPG that want you to swap classes tend to let you play different classes on the same character. With a game like GW2 where your character has a full story behind it and is more person then most mmorpgs its not much to say that your character is yours and the lock in class was made to lock to your person.

Well not at all you can play a class for years and then anet updates in such a way to make the class no longer viable. This is what happen and its all due to anet putting the elite spec before the core classes. We are talking about 4? years before ele core was hit because of tempest and 6? for weaver. This is all on anet.

Easy, it's being justified by something that ISN'T TRUE. It's continually being justified by additional untruths you keep making. Again, maybe it's a good idea but don't pretend it's fixing some problem that exists only based on things that aren't true. You aren't actually fixing any real problem in that case. at that point, you're just pushing something you want and as I've already said, the game can't cater to things each player wants because everyone doesn't want the same things > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ... and that's why we are given LOTS of choice. So you see, again, as much as you want to dismiss the concept of choice ... it's real and it's intentional.

To make the eleit spec classes more "balanced" anet has nerfed core ele over and over with out any real though for the core ele use.

To make the eleit spec classes more "balanced" anet has nerfed core ele over and over with out any real though for the core ele use. So we talked about sword on weaver well the reason why it of more use was because of the staff ele nerfs. This hit the core ele hard as it was the main dps wepon. To make tempest less all in support healing they went after staff healing as well. Because of tempest aura up times they did a general nerf to aura duration which hit core ele hard. The same thing happen with the old fury on atument swap in arcain that was nerfed because of the elite spec. Every thing that is wrong with core ele NOW is because of nerfs to the class to balance the elite spec. I even think the on overload effects where hit because of tempest not because of ele core swaping being stronger.

And you do not think ppl would get "quit the class because you want to update it" vibe from what you said? Here a thing try to get your ideals out in small statements it looks like your just deflecting questioning at this point. Any way the OP suggestion would let core ele have better burst in both fire and air even water and earth would have real dmg. the +150 power means a lot of dmg sadly its only fire for core but by letting it have an effect in the other atuments makes the core ele a "fire" ele all of the time.

These 2 boons make up for a lot of hard counters and comply build over effectiveness. Resistance is such a hard counter to condi that you do not even get a small effect that ppl still get even with all of the boon clear. It makes your roots into more harm then good for your team. Alacrity is in effect a free cdr that a class may or may not have causing skill to be a great deal more used. In the caster of these conversion they get more clears by using there clears in effect making them clear more often because they are cleaning condis. Its a bad feed back loop. I would say stab in the same way but it so rarely happen that its not worth updating but the other way of stab becoming fear needs to be looked at badly as its effect happens so often that you cant tell what going on in combat. Its a bad game play effect.

This thread is NOT a complaint about balance. Whether you think it's enough or not or that there isn't a real reason to swap ... is irrelevant. That's just dependent on how YOU view and play the class. Anet can't cater the game around how you think the game should work.

Swapping elements IS the class mechanic for ele. Based on those things, ele DOES have a class mechanic and it doesn't need to change because it doesn't work the way you think it should.

I can assure you ... I do NOT play weaver and tempest the same way I play ele, even if they are similar. I'm sure I'm not the only one. You don't speak for everyone. > > Again, it's about choices and how people want to play. Anet can't change the game to cater to how everyone thinks it should play. But what game type are we talking about here the op is talking about pve mostly fractals. You need to push dmg so you need to sit in fire a long time and in a way is room for balancing of core ele to have a real tool from its swap by letting it have passive effects all of the time regardless what atument your in. This would be harder for classes like tempest who will lose out passive effect and weaver who needs to swap on some level to up keep its +10%. You sure seem to speak for every one by suggesting there ideals are so bad that they need to simply play another class.

The only thing the elite spec got was power creep over core ele and anet has done nothing more then to nerf core ele to make tempest and weaver not op vs other classes. Most tempest and weaver run staff or scepter they dont run there elite spec weapons at all because there no need to and they are nothing more then ele +1.

This is what the op suggested and they bring up a good fix for the core ele. The only thing you did was told them to play another class if they did not like it. Why are you so bent on not allowing ppl to have points of views?

Do not try to pretend that lack of balance on ele is because it lacks a class mechanic ... because it DOESN'T. But.... tempest and weaver have the same mechanic + there own. Your comply missing the point of all of this maybe even of all of the forms. You MUST communicate what you want and think is better for the game. Just going arone saying anet cant do what you say because "you" want them to is a non starter for any type of real argument. I do not know what your point of view is other then you want to suppress other from expression there own points of views.

That's not that bad answer you think it is ... that's THE answer for anyone making a class choice based on whatever criteria they are using. > > > > > > Swapping elements IS a real class mechanic, just like how many other classes have a swapping concept in their mechanics as well. > > > > That not a question of balance its a question of making a mechanic worth something ... > > Again, that's a matter of personal preference and opinion about how YOU play the class ... and as long as Anet can't change the game to cater to how everyone thinks the game should work, it's not going to change because you don't think it's worth using. > > Fire should burn how is that a personal preference!?

This thread is NOT a complaint about balance. Whether you think it's enough or not or that there isn't a real reason to swap ... is irrelevant. That's just dependent on how YOU view and play the class. Anet can't cater the game around how you think the game should work. If you don't like how there isn't a reason for you to swap elements in Core ele ... don't play core ele if how the class mechanic works is part of your class choice criteria.

That not a question of balance its a question of making a mechanic worth something a fire ball being red like fire dose not mean its fire it should burn to make the mechanic of swapping a real effect. Or your swapping is just an animation tick and i would not call that a real mechanic. I think legendary do it better any way they are less likely to be culed in a big fight oddly.

That's absurd. Almost every class and their especs all work like this in fact. The mechanic is swapping elements ... and core ele does that, so YES it has a mechanic. Seems to me you don't understand what 'lacking' actually means. > > > > > > You can argue what you think it should be all you like ... but that's not relevant to the game.

If core ele got more from each atument then it would be a true mechanic of a class till then its on the level of a class having an wepon swap or not. > > That doesn't mean it lacks a mechanic or that the mechanic isn't 'true' ... the fact it shares the same mechanic with the especs is PROOF it DOESN'T lack a mechanic. If the mechanic is 'true' enough for the especs, it's also true enough for the core. You simply don't understand what the word lacking means. > > If the mechanic is on the level of a weapon swap or whatever you convinced yourself ... it STILL is a 'true' and real class mechanic because it still impacts how you play and it's still related to the class because of the elements; hence "class mechanic". That's simply how anet decided to implement it. If you don't like that ... you have choices. > > Any small thing will do i guess then? Ele dose have animations that look like magic fire water lighting and earth maybe that also a mechanic its not important if they have the effects of these 4 things just that they look like it. Like how rev gets a dodge roll animation effect it must be a mechanic of the class as well. At some point you got to realize its not enofe to have 2 more "swaps" the other classes there needs to be something there a real reason to swap and right now there not.

The game isn't designed around catering to how you think it should work. Its not just they share one they have the swap and an mechanic effect.
