This is actually really insightful and it shows the extent of the stockholm syndrome we have as elementalist players because we're now bargaining from such a weak position that we've decided to accept it as a given that this class should be a melee class in the first place -- and maybe it should? But it's not suited for it right now at all.

I made a new core elementalist with a pet, decent base health, more boons, stealth, cc, evades, build diversity, and a decent long ranged weapon that is capable of reliable CC ? Lol you guys don't even know how painfully true this is> @Poelala.2830 said: This video is from WAAAAY back in 2012. 2012. Saying the exact same thing we've been saying for years. This class has been trash since 2012 and before that. Just delete your elementalist and roll thief.

They literally did almost everything he said they would or a variant of it: Hey @""Arheundel.6451" , what's the next patch going to do? @Arenanet: Why do you keep balancing the game around PvE? PvE doesn't matter. It's just spamming skills on the monsters. You don't need to "balance" it??? Stop it. Nobody cares about "balance" in PvE. Balance doesn't apply to PvE. Balance applies to PvP only. Nerf deadeye and either: Give elementalist PvP-viable ranged options.Give melee elementalist more gapclosers. Holosmith has a gapcloser on a TWO SECOND COOLDOWN. My personal suggestion is to just make the cooldown on Sword Air 2 (Polaric Leap) about 4 seconds. Basically, everytime I attune to air, I want to be able to gapclose...because that is actually the thought process for attuning to air. You attune to air when you want to go back in on your opponent. Please give elementalist players just ONE rewarding gameplay mechanic? Just one?Can I have fun with just ONE thing? Do I have to have delayed gratification in EVERY aspect of my class? Can I have fun? Where is my Deadeye moment? When do I get to feel strong and confident and cool like Thief/Mesmer/Warrior/Guardian? And I am not some person who comes on the forum complaining all day, and I have only ever posted on the GW2 subreddit ONCE. I am getting tired of how bad Arenanet's balance team is. They NEVER tackle any of the fundamental problems with this class. I would be happy if they reverted ALL of the changes they made in this last patch and ONLY just gave us a consistent gapcloser. All I want is this: Increase the range of Polaric Leap to 1200, and reduce its cooldown to 4 seconds. I'm not asking for anything else. You can leave everything else alone. Give us ONE semi-broken thing. And please do not take away the daze when doing this, if you do it...
