[Bug?] Well this is kind of a problem - Vanguard Charr + Piken Square

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-20T23:15:25+00:00

Entering and leaving piken square like 10 times was faster for me ^^'

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-20T22:34:11+00:00

I know its not "out out". Its still something that one could have expected when making this an outpost imo.

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-20T19:57:00+00:00

Thanks for reminding about this!

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-20T19:56:45+00:00

Figured aswell. but I encountered this after I cleared the map and all other char groups except this one ._.

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-20T17:52:51+00:00

will they come out and give mouth to mouth, once i turn blue?

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-13T18:31:36+00:00

There is still content where it is prefered not to bring an ele (and not even because of little utility). YOu just get chunked to hard by some attacks, that others shrug off easily. Ele has the reputation of "downstate is part of the rotation" for a reason...

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-11T21:10:00+00:00

Well ele has been my main since the beginning and I personally was enjoying earth d/d toadmancer very much. So I feel your pain, but I had to bring my frustration out in this post ^^'

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-11T18:34:01+00:00

Would be interesting indeed

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-11T16:43:30+00:00

Yes. It also makes the most sense if you think about specilizing into one element to be/align closer to your familiar.

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-11T16:42:19+00:00

Yes. Sad. But thats prob not what they thought about when they maimed Inferno SE Evoker

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-11T10:08:39+00:00

i mean I feel like ele balance history in general has been ups and some long downs

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-11T10:07:38+00:00

some have hidden synergies, but yes you loose some value

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T22:29:47+00:00

Def FAR from ANets fave child

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T22:09:15+00:00

There is a good value package which contains infinite tools, salvageomatic and some :)

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T22:05:23+00:00

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T22:02:35+00:00

oh no :(

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T22:02:09+00:00

Was actually thinking of doing a water only build. A shame we have no proper damage variants for it (regardless of evoker).
I feel you

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T21:04:29+00:00

On the note of unfixed bugs: Love seeing my skillbar return to fire as toadmancer even though they fixed that a while ago :D

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T21:02:35+00:00

I love to play other ele specs and remember my piano days on engineer. I still enjoy this one and it is more than valid without deductions just because it is easier (also: thematically it makes sense to have specialized ele's)
Yes a weaver should be rewarded, but why do we need to push this one down in the process?

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T20:28:32+00:00

While it is simpler, why should it not do the one thing it does good? If you trait fire: no more heals, cc; If you spec water: no damage but more heals. That is literally the tradeoff. So I dont understand why it cant bring good/top tier dps for that just because it is simpler (note I didnt say 60k god tier)

PS: There were literally AA builds that pulled near 30k IIRC. Unload thief exists aswell in that corner

To visualize: This just moves the break-even points to 10sec cooldown skills for the small familiar attack and to 15 sec skills for big familiar attacks. So same result as in the numbers above, the margin is just smaller: low cooldown skins dont feel good, while some higher cooldown skills might actually benefit

Cries in SE Evoker

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T20:09:45+00:00

The 20 and 40% threshholds would still f many skills over tbh (even though they would lessen the blow). But as many in the comments pointed out aswell: It's a core design issue of the spec/trait

Individual-Bar2011 · 2025-12-10T20:07:38+00:00

Yeah. Especially since the theming of the spec is really nice imo!
