well.... SF is getting a skill balance soon anyway (according to gale gray)

shame... in my opinion.... there are not may fire elites that fit the playing style of (powerful nuker)

but whatever..

Xpl0iter · Dec 26, 2006, 03:22 AM // 03:22

so what is the "skill balance"? messing up the one and only elite eles had to enforce some pressure?

Whiners b**** all the time. and they do get what they want, its been like this since the day one.
Where did you read about this coming from Anet any way ?

Dutch Masterr · Dec 26, 2006, 04:12 AM // 04:12

they never once nerfed touch rangers, and before nightfall that was the biggest complaint.

i should have been more clear....there is "almost" constant burning....they burn for 7 seconds and then theres a 2 second wait and then if you keep using it they start to burn again....i know how the skill works, its just hard to explain things in typing =/

the biggest complaint was to buff eles, did it happen beside giving them an SF which is going to be "balanced"?

Goddamn PvP whiners. Now Anet is going to nerf this skill.

clawofcrimson · Dec 26, 2006, 08:46 AM // 08:46

each proff. should have skills that complement their primary purpose...

in my humble opinion... searing flames is one of the few elementalist elites that actually make this proffession fit in its nich of "nuker"

...and with the new ai no area of effect spells work well against pvp OR pve

so if anet is gonna nerf... I think they should balance a lot of the elementalist skills to make them worthy of being called "nukers"

my brother just started an ele in prof. and he hates skills like firestorm ( a skill i used to love ages ago when I started )

elementalists need to be rethought altogether...ESPECIALLY if they "balance" all their powerful skills...

QFT, sadly that is all they do. Whiners who just cant stop QQing more.

Thom Bangalter · Dec 26, 2006, 05:52 PM // 17:52

QQ!

Good, they're nerfing it.

bungusmaximus · Dec 26, 2006, 09:31 PM // 21:31

thank goodness I can play a pretty solid air ele too, shes very handy utility that makes much difference, but THE BITCH DOEN'T DO DECENT DAMAGE (forgive my choice of words here). What should i play then? melee chars bore me/i suck at it. Monk is always everyones bitch in PvP, too stressfull (i like to play it tho, in PvE). Necro's are too fragile, ritualists are too slow, ele is my favourite class by far. Now its back to being helpless as a baby in 1vs1 fights. Maybe it's a good idea to nerf them, but nerf thumpers (talking aboout over-used, doh), touchers and other 'easy to play' classes too then, else im gonna get hammered/touched to death again in every alliance battle match. If u really want to nerf eles, nerf the geo-tank, on the other hand, my guild team tears them apart in no-time

Theres no class they bring we don't have counters against, an we only have a four ppl team. We are also not the best players in the world so if we can do it, other players sure can do it as well.

Arena.net definitely listens to random forum dumbasses when deciding what skills to nerf or buff.

Peace,

especially when the forum was made by a dumbass of a mesmer who did not know how to deal with an ELE.

Quit Freakin playin ur mesmer.

Just make 10 threads and cry out for the nerf hammer, and anet will definetly grant the wish.

Regardz.

agreed. since when can a fire elementalist beat a ranger 1v1.

and please, stop crying about your horrible experiences at getting beat by ""1"" over used skill. i mean if you're getting owned so hard by it bring something that owns it right back.

to the person that said why should we bring a counter for a specific build. well.. do you bring some sort of counters for an IWAY team? or do you scream nerf IWAY.

live with it. elementalists are meant for doing damage, if your warrior's damage output is shadowed by an eles, then anet has done its job right.

Maria The Princess · Dec 27, 2006, 01:58 AM // 01:58

if you cant counter a SF ele team:

insted of posting here and waste your time reading "why to nurf/not to nurf" and "learn to counter" posts, log on GW, and play HA till you figure out how to counter them.

when u figure it out (shouldnt take a while unless youre retarded) come back here, post it, and appologise to all the Eles who u wanted to be mixed with dust AGAIN after all the nurf bats they have suffered.

Dark Tykane · Dec 27, 2006, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Yeah....last time I was on you idiots were whining about eles needing to be better at what they do. Seems like as soon as the classes get better at what they are meant to do the sooner people think they need to be put back in check. The only balance is mediocrity at all jobs or just making each class go up and down to satisfy complaints one day so they can have more the next to satisy in a few weeks.

Why not merge all these searing threads into one big cry/flame fest? Would be much more efficient.

Xpl0iter · Dec 27, 2006, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Isin't why your here? to cry as well that SF needed a nerf? Welcome to the club.

Maria The Princess · Dec 28, 2006, 04:11 AM // 04:11

lol its becoming like that huuuuuge "nurf touch rangers" thread on the ranger forum. i think it got to like 100 pages

then people got over it and stoped posting.

touch rangers and expertise stayed untouched, its just that people learned to counter and now u hardly ever see them anymore

Xpl0iter · Dec 28, 2006, 04:22 AM // 04:22

in this case, gaile has mentioned that skill will be "balanced" in mid - january

Maria The Princess · Dec 28, 2006, 05:00 AM // 05:00

watch them make it 25e cost and 30 sec recharge....

them ill just use immolate and rodg invocation
