Well this my opinion about the last update:
" Thanks Anet for nerf us AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
" Thanks for make elementalists the worst class on gw"
" Thanks for make us usseles...AGAIN!!!"...
You guys think that incresing some crap damage on the others skills our skills are balanced...i don't think so, when i bought YOUR game i bought it whit 1 objetive: FUN!! FUN!! and more FUN!!, but actually im bored...you know, elementalists are supossed to be damage dealers right?, right?? ok they do an "aceptable" damage but its not like the real mage on another online games.....i have been playing GW 1 1/2 years and anet nerf elementalist like 6 times.... let me tell a story: one day a boy was playing guild wars, and he was owned by an Sf elementalist, he becomes mad and post in a forum : " Jesus those elementalists need a nerf they are monsters!!!", another guy see his post and he respond: "lol why?? we are elemenatlists we are suposed to be the damage dealers.....we have a weak armor, all the classes beat us fast, our dance its HORRIBLE! and u are crying for a nerf to reduce our damage???, i think its not fair whit all the people who was playing for a long time with a class that for a year was completely USSELES!! and they are becoming usless again...."................make your own conclutions.

This is just my opinion, sorry for my english im venezuelan :P

PD : oh sorry for the mistakes too, i was mad when i wrote this...

"Acceptable damage"? Hmm i seem to see "GLF Nukers" in nearly every town and ... hmmm ... lemme think oh ya the MAIN dmg dealers in DoA? Ya mmk.

Anet nerfed the Elementalist 6 times eh? Well, this so called "nerf" has happend multiple times to ALL classes. And in actuality the amount of buffs is WAY WAY high compared to nerfs.

Weak armor? hmm i seem to recall all casters have 60 AL armor. And each class has certain armor bonus types they can buy.. hmm sounds balanced to me! All classes beat us fast? Uh... what does that even mean? Refer to my first paragraph. kthx.

Nerf to SF? oh NOEZ! 2 second less time for burning duration, kill me now Elementalists are uber useless now!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... (oh ya, this was me being sarcastic.)

So according to you, since you have been playing the elementalist for 1.5 years Anet cannot change anything? Oh, ok i'll be fair. So since many have played the elementalist for a long time (including me), Anet cannot change anything? Online worlds change at will, at will of the companies who own them, that much should be obvious. Anet told us from day one and stresses it to this day that Guild Wars is aimed at being a balanced skill environment.

Ya, sure everyone is entitled to their opinions, but you just posted a useless rant with no real argument. Frankly, i am sick of how much negativity and constant ranting people have against Anet. They provide so much for this game it boggles my mind, and yet people like you have this attitude of "gimme more, gimme more cause i want it" or "i like this so don't change it or i'll hate you Anet!"

God just be thankful. Sigh. I complain about complainers who complain about Anet... the vicious circle continues. Bah, Mods wanna take care of this thread? yay!!

cheers.

We got nerfed?

Oh yea...you must be one of those eles who just wants to spam Searing Flames. Bad luck old chap.

Personally one of my favourite skills is Eruption and...oh look...that got buffed. If you want to REALLY complain about something go post in a Paragon thread.

Naf Olbaid · Feb 13, 2007, 07:45 AM // 07:45

I can see where the OP is coming from with his outburst here. They nerf our most useful skills:

Quote:

# Blinding Surge: increased Energy cost to 10.
Nerfed because of other classes abusing it...*COUGH* mesmer.. and others.

# Searing Flames: decreased Burning duration to 1..5 seconds.
Nerf

# Glowing Gaze: increased recharge time to 8 seconds.
Nerf

# Gale: decreased knock down duration to 2 seconds.
Nerf. Didn't see this one coming.. oh well.

# Savannah Heat: decreased Energy cost to 5, increased recharge time to 25 seconds.
Nerf

# Sandstorm: reduced unconditional damage to 10..30, increased recharge time to 30 seconds.
Nerf from hell

Then try to compensate with this insignificant buffs like firestorm, water trident, arc lightning, stone daggers... etc.

In the end the useless crap they "buffed" is still useless, and the once useful stuff which they nerfed still operate, but at reduced efficiency and fun factor.

1 more thing, I find it funny that they keep buffing mark of rodgort, there are so many other skills in this game from all classes that need more help than MoR, but they insist on repeatedly buffing it each patch.. sigh.

Your boring, whine more.

Luciora · Feb 13, 2007, 08:26 AM // 08:26

Hehe, Yeah sure they changed some skills again but if you honestly think an Ele is useless at the moment I think it may be time for you to play a different class.

Just a thought, ever tried running Mark Of Rodgort before dropping Fire Storm? You'll be amazed at just how nicely things get cooked. But wait, I can already hear you typing - They SCATTER!!!ONEONE!!!111ELEVENTYONE

Noticed the fact that these skills recharge pretty quickly?

Trust me, Ele may seem useless but if played well they are a very good asset to any team

Zazoo · Feb 13, 2007, 09:12 AM // 09:12

Ive been playing around with my heros, taking 1 with fire skills and 1 with water skills and the effects are devistating.

The water stuff slows them down and does some acceptable damage and the fire finishes them off.

So i have to disagree with the OP ele's are just fine atm.

Joshgt2 · Feb 13, 2007, 03:28 PM // 15:28

Isn't this type of topic in the wrong forum? I thought there was a whole forum made for complaining...

Stormlord Alex · Feb 13, 2007, 03:41 PM // 15:41

Don't see any problem... Fire AND Earth AoEs (apart from SF and SS) were buffed, I've been running 2 ele heroes - one with Earth AoE (Eruption is awesome, and Unsteady Ground holds foes in place) and another with Fire (Fireball's as strong as ever) to tear PvE to shreds.

Also... Water Trident is an insane anti-kite skill. Maybe try using another element? We're ELEMENTALISTS, not FIREMENTALISTS.

And... The E/Mo support caster is still unchanged. Yah.

i Valinor · Feb 13, 2007, 04:20 PM // 16:20

wow.. this is a troll if i have ever one....

skills get change all the time if you dont like it make another character or deal with it. or just go play FF so you can enter all the cheat codes and be the biggest damage dealer you want.

Water trident is now one of the best ele elites out there. Seriously, this never leaves my bar in GvG now.

To the OP, this is all I have for you:

Coloneh · Feb 13, 2007, 11:09 PM // 23:09

to the OP: shut up, your stupid

Lt.Crumpet · Feb 13, 2007, 11:18 PM // 23:18

i understand! ele's cant totally completly and mindlessly own anymore! they have to think just like everyone else again! how terrible!

ele's are completely playable, still do excellent damage all round, and can still play the other roles they used to. golly gee, they still work!

gg uninstall

Crazyvietguy · Feb 13, 2007, 11:57 PM // 23:57

OP.. you dont know much about Ele's

You might be one of those Echo Firestormers. I heard they are pretty much LEET!

Ele's are no where close to "completely" nerfed. The closest thing that they faced with a complete nerf was the AoE panic update, where before an Ele could finish their AoE spell the monsters were already scattering. Skill nerfs.. dont nerf a class, it nerfs mindless cookie cutter players

lizahtteo · Feb 14, 2007, 07:29 AM // 07:29

hehe.. i disagree.. i bought additional character slots to try out all character, come to all, my fav char is an elementalist, she never have a problem with energy, never have a problem with exaushion. never need to shout for BR, she does mass damage and i find it so fun to play with her, and i can only get better playing with her in different team environment.

Not many people knows how to play a good ele! But whenever you find to have a good ele, you get to have so much fun to have them in the team!

erfweiss · Feb 14, 2007, 10:04 AM // 10:04

To the OP:

I've been playing my ele exclusively for the last two weeks, trying to get her through Tyria (she was slacking). Anyhow, I have yet to see a nerf that affected me. Why? Because I use common skills that anyone could use. I'm not a Searing flames spammer.

I've been using Heavy Nuker or Echo Invoker and I never have problems with that. Sure, I liked Sandstorm. The point is: adapt! Whining doesn't get you anywhere. So you have to tweak a build. The smallest violin is playing its sad song for you.

Pwnd by a guineapig · Feb 15, 2007, 12:34 AM // 00:34

Were all angry with anet....and they dont seem to play this game... I didnt hand them 50 dollars to get the living day lights nerfed out of me... All classes got nerfed... AI took anti-farmer classes... So yeah your npt the only one mad... I call the day they nerfed monsters N-DAY... The day ill never forget...

Stormlord Alex · Feb 15, 2007, 02:20 AM // 02:20

huh? Nerfed monsters? They *buff* monster AI... And lots of skills got buffed recently, only the Paragon was really hit hard. I'm not angry at all - I can now try out new builds with buffed skills (FYI, Smoldering Embers and Water Trident are both powerful skills now for an ele) and move on. If you can't adapt... then maybe you should get back to Minesweeper.

Arkantos · Feb 15, 2007, 02:24 AM // 02:24

Less Whining Pl0x.
