i searched for this and did not find anything...

have any of you noticed that mesmers have one less elite skill - and the warrior has one extra elite skill

My suggestion is to correct this issue with one of the chapter updates. --just give mesmers one more elite and warriors one less.

edit: Wow yall are attackin me like i asked for somthing huge... look its not that big a deal i just thought it would be nice if all classes had the same number of elites--- note: i don't suggest to change any of the current skills---

then you need to address the problem of the fact that ele's have the most skills.

I don't have an opinion, either way is fine.

Anet's already a real stickler for balance; no need to nitpick over a skill or two.

This is probably because some skills had to be swiftly changed for balance - I think it was Hundred Blades and Illusionary Weaponry that were being combined for ridicolous damage output?

Eles and warriors have 5 attributes when the other classes have only 4.

That's not a big deal I guess.

meh I prefeur my mesmer elites then my warriors anyday

Besides most warrior elites are useless, Do people use anything besides, Eviscerate and Gladiators defense?

Emik · Oct 18, 2006, 01:27 AM // 01:27

Cleave, Dwarven Battle Stance, Battle Rage, Hundred Blades, Auspicious Parry.

Thos are all frequently used imo

shove[because I like knocking people over

] and dragon slash

no matter how much AN claims balance, there will always be something or someone not agreeing, since you can only have one elite in your skill bar, your not exactly using more elites then your buddy on the business end of your weaopn/spells are you[please don't say yes<.<]?

Theres more useful mesmer elites then warrior elites, so it's fine the way it is.

Warrior Elites useful in pvp :
Bull's Charge
Charge
Devastating Hammer
Forceful Blow (I've seen it used, honest!)
Eviscerate
backbreaker
coward (albeit on non-warrior primaries)
Earth Shaker (for some stupid reason that escapes me)
ViM (again on non-warrior primaries)
Shove (same again)
Number of useful elites = 10

Useful Mesmer elites in pvp :
Recurring Insecurity (SB/RI hurts

)
Psychic Distraction
Power Block
Mantra of Recall
Energy Drain
Energy Surge
Expel Hexes
Migraine
Mantra of Recovery
Crippling Anguish
Number of useful elites = 10

Bear in mind that unless something is grotesquely imbalanced in pve, no-one cares about it. It's pvp that is the main focus when it comes to skill balancing, and those two classes are pretty balanced if you ask me. Tell me if I missed any useful elites by the way

EDIT :
Useful Elementalist Elites in PvP :
Ether Prodigy
I changed my mind. GET TO WORK ANET

You can use only one elite at the same time, and 8 skills at the same time. I don't see any problem is one class has 1.000.000 elites if can only use one

or 10.000.000 skills if only can use 8.

Example: If you remove all necromancer elites, excluding SS, Golem and Tainted, you still have a really powerful class.

And don't worry, you get 10 elites every new chapter (per class)

Note: I sometimes play without elite (8 normal skills)

I haven't seen anyone except the NPCs use it.

lol those are all crap except for AP which is situational so not that good.

warrior elites that are used
-Eviscerate
-Charge!
-Devastating Hammer
-Earth Shaker
-Dragon Slash
-Glad's D
-VIM

I probably forgot a few but meh

As for the suggestion , 1 skill really doesnt matter. And besides over 75% of the elites of those classes (and all others too) arent even used.
