The point is you cant balance the game or chose a classes purely base off of what the best players are doing. Ele numbers and videos (click bate as they are) are not good example of what ele can do as a class. The mind set that ele is balanced because of these things is not good for the game and not good for new players. That why its a TRAP of a class.
See AlsoGuild Wars 2: Best Classes For Solo Players, RankedGuide:What Profession Should I PlayProfession changer - Guild Wars Wiki (GWW)META Events - Guild Wars 2 Guide - IGNWe are talking about a new class to play for a new player and what it means in both the short run vs the long run. Ele caps out for its usefulness but it keeps getting harder to play. Its not a good class to start the game out with.
Ofcourse u do lol.
If they didnt, every class would do 120k DPS To cater to the fact the majoirty of players dont even reach 40 percentile fights.
Classes have to be balanced based on What the class can do. not based on the player using it. Like people fail to play necro ALL THE TIME in raid enviroments.. u wanna buff necro til they can play that too?..lol. this problem exists across the board. not just elementalist.
The vast majority of EVERY Classes Population cannot maximise their classes DPS potiental. thats factual.. so u wanna ramp all the classes up til that dont matter?. go watch twitch. go watch youtube, u'll see the vast majority cant reach above 20k DPS With any class. this isnt a Elementalist only problem, this is across the board. thew Skill floor of the game itself is very high so this comes aswell.
Elementalist like every class, requires you to get comfortable with its rotation. and lets face it its exactly that. Elementalist in PvE is Rotational. u could write it down. and providing u can do it in the right order u will maximise it.
if Eles top DPS is 100k, and ur only doing 50k DPS.. ur gonna get rejected just as Fast as if Ele does 50k DPS and u only do 25k.
pushing the number up doesnt fix the game for "new players who cant maximsie the class". it doesnt help anything. because u end up pushing every other class up with it.
the problem is LIKE EVERY CLASS IN THE GAME, u have to do that while actively dodging and avoid mechanics and doing Mechanics. which is what most fail to do. which means every class takes a DPS hit from those mistakes.
and i'd argue agfainst ur theory.
Most of Class learning is to do with Muscle memory, the faster u main what u wanna play the faster u build that muscle memory.. playing a "easy class" to experience the game prior the actual class u wanna play. actually plays against you.
your likely to become Muscle memory building around the wrong things. and adapt to a playstyle u shouldnt be wit hthe class ur gonna main afterwards. Coming into the game the game is the Best time to go elementalist. because ur going in with No bad habits.. and your muscle memory will build around Elementalist. Learning hte game from the angle u want to play long term is very important to ur own progression.
never choose a class based on Difficulty.. ALWAYS Choose the class that ur passionate about and want to make that effort with.. dont walk into a game with a defeatist attitude.
