      Counter point, with alacrity you can have more minions, which are also more useful, than most necro minions. (specifically talking raids/strikes/open world)
      And tempest can give itself alacrity.

    question, why would i want to play a class were in a raid if your not doing the most dps your usless to team, in pvp if you cant win 1v1s why are you on the team (if your tempest and you cant heal why bother playing), why would i want to play ele in fractal pugs since down state is apart of rotation unless you have good group. and in wvw all your good for is fire staff 5 in zergs and in roaming if your not skilled at game your gonna be ass. so why should i play ele?

    • @vant3747
      @vant3747 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@FURYzjEh my point was you have to be elite at class for it to be viable in raids/fractals and on NA 80% of fractal players are trash so if your on EU yea very easy to find good fractal group but if your not the best DPS in the team no point in playinf it cause that's all you bring to the team l, very little cc or any Pma things like pushes or stab

    • @FURYzjEh
      @FURYzjEh ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@@vant3747 I'm not the pvp/wvw guy but I can assure you that you can have a really decent dps on ele without needing to go full piano rotation.
      You can simplify the rotation without losing much dps, especially on weaver.
      Weaver specific heal does bring some passive'ish heal to your group. While you dont have the best cc in the game, 5 dagger and 2 sword air do decent cc and plenty enough for fractal as a dps player and if you need more you can bring lightning hammer if really needed for some more cc. (especially for MAMA)
      Imo, isince you bring fractal in the topic, if you expect good players to play good dps classes, soulbeast or dh doesnt bring much more then ele unless they master and understand the class too. Sure ele is a hard class to master but so is ranger or guardian to my eyes.
      And overall, most of the dps loss from people is actually not really the rotation itself but the dps uptime/how they manage the mechanics and that doesnt have anything with the elementalist itself (while I can agree that it might be easier to handle some mechanics on some others class, Ele does have an ok kit to handle 90% of the mechanics)

    I think you mean "when you INEVITABLY get into downed state".

      Elementalist has the tempest elite spec that's very good at healing, but also the Ranger has the druid elite spec that is great st support as well!

    • @wojciechszatko
      @wojciechszatko ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you like to play a healer/support then go for ranger or elementalist. Both of them are very good with supporting their allies with their elite specs from HoT expansion. In general ranger is better for PvE healing, while elementalist is good for both PvE and PvP.

    • @pfunkle
      @pfunkle 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ranger has Druid class which can be a dedicated heal/support class but Ranger also has several power and condition raid builds. Very versatile.
      Mesmer is helpful in a unique way with it's alacrity and quickness generation but also portals!
      Both unique classes. Make both and see which playstyle/fashion you like better. 😊
