ScottBroChill.3254 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'll agree with the statement of them trying to make ele the jack of all trades. The problem with this is you can still only build for one trade, thus ele is the jack of one trade and still the master of none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It exists to lure new players to the game with cool/flashy animations and particle effects. :p even the animations got nerfed: auras and fire auto cause they were to distracting. meanwhile we got holo, rev, fb, scourge, mirage ...

alain.1659 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Let us bot kid ourselves. Elementalist was designed to be a classic sorcerer/mage in a game where the classic sorcerer/mage is redundant. With all the nerfs to ele and buffs/elites to other professions ele is now a class that needs more buttons to do what others easily achieve.

Swagg.9236 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Elementalist has a purpose, and it has always had a purpose. From 2012 until 2015, it was the primary DPS in PvE and one of those generic roamer meme builds in PvP. The only reason that these "roles" have fallen out of favor is because GW2 is currently drowning in bloat and powercreep. It goes to show how this game has serious fundamental problems when the launch PvE metagame was, for three years, entirely comprised of 3 classes.
