tinyreborn.1938 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Jaunt is a joke now ,core elites are trash to beging with ,not even 1 viable. Any elite is just garbage to slot in elite slot . (gravity well still OK but its avail for chrono only lmao) Time warp 50% duration ,50% reduction in cooldown. Mass invis... Pls make new one ...Or make 60s cd with ~0.75s cast time . Better shadow refuge in elite slot . AND could untie it from MANIPULATION family to forbid reduction and abusive behavior with self reveal after cast . Moa signet 90s cd to match rampage transformation to have chances to counter this bs . Reduce duration to 5s . Engi have AOE bird'ing for 3s alrdy . For sake of stop dumb cries CHRONO DOUBLE ELITES its cd is now really long or if you cant handle outcry disable elites to be recharged ,do the same to thieves to equallize FREE ELITE RECHARGE (Except thief get it every 20seconds and mesmer ONCE per 120s ? Come on ,thats a bullCATS) Update : > @"Zoe.8310" said: > Letting any class use their elite slot for any utility is a great idea. That would solve the issue for many classes.

Heartpains.7312 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I am honestly tired of their random dart board changes ... the Mesmer is always on the nerfs dartboards ... didn't the factory made buffs dartboards for mesmers? or do they just hate pink/purple?

Thieves have to hope that it *recharges a category that's even equipped.* In case you forgot, it can attempt to recharge say...Venoms, when the Thief has no venoms equipped.

Curunen.8729 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Agree with everything, all the elite skills now are mediocre aside from Gravity Well and Chrono's ability to double cast it with F5. I'd sooner have a 4th utility skill - even Mimic - instead of an elite skill at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Thief has all 3 of those equipped, the odds of this Improvisation doing *nothing at all* are *far* greater than recharging all three...If you would like to be constructive with your comparison, you may want to ask for Improvisation to have an increased cooldown, but at the same time *must recharge an equipped skill-line.* But that wouldn't be very smart to request as a Thief's enemy, now would it?

Heartpains.7312 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 when I read something about jaunt charges which I wasn't even expecting at all, I was like there must be a next line for jaunt that they return it to the original cd again which is 20sec, but nope. next we have sword ambush and blink, while at it, please remove the condi clear from jaunt. And don't forget torch 4, remove condi clear from it and reduce stealth time to 2sec. and all this so Mesmer can be great at long fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong direction. Daggerstorm insane broken crap . Fought faeleth , he got 3 marks on me with 3 marks recharging 3 daggerstorms. ODDS OF HAPPENING ARE TOO LOW! /s just as I said , forbid it to recharge elite skill for thief . Pretty good change consider this can recharge ELITE(only elite of course that bother me is DS) and related family utilities 2-3-4 times in a row , I dont care if you dont like it tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoe.8310 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Here's what they should do for an Elite: _**"Ultimate Continuum Split: Go back in time several patches before Chrono was nerfed into the ground, and be a decent class again for 10 seconds"**_ Boom.

Reh.5986 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Anet should just allow us to pick another utility in "elite" slot. Jaunt is still useful but dropping in mimic there might actually be better depending on game mode. WVW, for example, being able to double blink or decoy is actually really useful when roaming.

apharma.3741 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I aid on HoT launch that continuum split was going to be an issue, here we are 3 years later and it's still an issue with doubling up stuff. Today it's mimic, tomorrow it's whatever they make into a really strong skill with a long cool down. In my opinion they should go nuts with the alacrity on chrono and then remove continuum splits functionality and replace it with granting quickness and alacrity to allies or something. The whole trait line should be about chill and slow, superspeed, quickness and alacrity with some healing and other support in there. Ah well here's to the nerfing of condi mirage in 3 months time to become a kinda OK spec while the rest of mesmer is in a pretty poor state, again, for 3 years.

EremiteAngel.9765 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 You guys complaining about your elites when your elites are actually way better than almost every elite a necro has. :s Too used to being at the top is a bad thing I guess.

Just because another class has issues, doesn't negate the point of this thread. Back on topic: Letting any class use their elite slot for any utility is a great idea. That would solve the issue for many classes. All of our current Elites do need some love. Man, I wish Time Warp could be swapped to Alacrity if you are a Chrono, that would be very nice.

MrFoooster.8192 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 on mobile so cant give exact trait names. make chronos alacrity and quickness giving traits aoe. rework how chrono wells work ! ( they are kinda useless in pvp since constant moving ( useful but hard to pull its full effect ) ), reduce elite cds ! ( i liked that timewarp idea but rather than changing it to alacrity, add alacrity on top of quickness on chrono). and please bring back temporal enchanter trait ( or something that affects glamours). the stuff i wrote here might be seem like huge buffs to mesmer ( mainly chrono) but compared to other classes, mesmers boon aplication and elite cds in both pve and pvp are underperforming. since inspiration signet rework( nerf ) these changes or something similiar must be made in order to chronos can still share alacrity and quickness while not being boon shops both in pve and pvp (. tbh chrono sup on pvp was nearly invincible before temporal enchanter removal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carighan.6758 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 But honestly? **None** of the elites in this game feel all that impressive. They're all either too weak or on too long CDs to be what I think an Elite should be, that is, the cornerstone of your spec and loadout. It should drive who the character is, in a way.

steki.1478 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Mesmers complaining about elite skills...really? All of mesmer elites have use literally everywhere.

Even ele have FGS or REALLY good elites on elite specs , mesmer doesnt (chrono well is good but with amount of stab its hard to call really good) When was the last time you saw an ele with tornado or elemental being useful? Rebound sharing aura or healing for 3-5k? Feels elite indeed. Fgs is nothing but a filler in dps rotation on 3 min cd. Constant nerfs doesn't mean that class is bad. See ele and dps in pve: it's been mostly nerfed for the past two years (excluding last couple of patches) but it was top dps constantly. Mesmer has been BiS class in all content since HoT (and still is), ofc people will ask for nerfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veluna.7316 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 And with Chrono spec you can spam the elite skills even more ha 105-70 second cooldown thanks to Continuum Split and alacrity up time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I speak for pvp mostly . 180s cd on moa signet(nerfed in pve even tho its 180s cd) thats not something you will see even on chrono in pvp. Timewarp? Never. Mass invis?

Rebound sharing aura or healing for 3-5k? Feels elite indeed. Fgs is nothing but a filler in dps rotation on 3 min cd. Rebound prevent death fyi . Its not just heal . FGS could use way less cd like ~120s (if you say 3 min I assume its 180s now) and not totally useless like 2 other elites as I said :) > Constant nerfs doesn't mean that class is bad.

I havent said class is bad or I did?:D Ele still remained one of top dps except occasional DE doing 40k rifle damage in unrealistic conditions.
