Yeah im pissed they buff, and nerf, but it does show that Anet is trying to help out eles, in the sense that they want people to use Any/ele secondary to help achieve a good build. It's still undergoing testing, atleast eles are getting some needed attention.

Who gives a damn if they buff something then nerf it again. It shows they're at least actively trying to change skills to make them balanced. I'd rather they release minor skill updates every so often and major ones once a month rather than leaving overpowered and underpowered skills around for a while before doing anything about it (Avatar of Grenth anyone?).
Course i'd rather they fix skills that are broken first... but you can't have everything.

Who needs a secondary profession?

Those were done because in GvG both Mind Blast spam and Conjure warriors were really overpowered. Ergo, a fix was in order.

it just shows how one buff can be exploited...

I was doing RA yesterday and all I seen yesterday was A/E and and W/E running conjure something.

WhiteDreads · Apr 14, 2007, 02:00 PM // 14:00

yeah id agree. my ele has long been looking for some much needed attn by anet

Avarre · Apr 14, 2007, 02:06 PM // 14:06

The buff was nice, but the first one was simply too much. Hence, they tone it down slightly (but still above the original level). It's nicer to have more rapid, minor tweaks for small problems than one giant occasional change that often imbalances other things.

Still a biased opinion here but they should kill some more over used skills like Searing Flames. Even though people say it’s the only one of a few Ele skill’s that are really good; I give that the ol’ “nah-aw.”

Still QQing about necro's? wow...get over it.

The Ele buffs were nice, but even nicer when they were tweaked a bit. I agree with Avarre, it's nice to see quicker updates rather than a huge one every 3 months.
