I played ele for about 15 matches, and I found the only thing that could touch me was a mesmer. All the melee are shutdown with blinding flash and the other casters don't do dmg that can't be outhealed by aura of restoration. Energy is infinite with dual attunement + aor. Derv can't remove blind, Paragon can remove it just to be reapplied instantly due to 4s recharge of blindflash, Warrior can't remove it, Ranger same as Paragon, Sin could theoretically use PS + Signet of Malice and then KD chain, but that fails almost always.

The rit really took a downfall this year. There's not even a bundle for Clamor of Souls

rit bar is pretty fail this year, and the anti-melee skill selection is minimal at best. from what i've seen so far, strong melee teams are just bowling people over.

Yep, melee is totally imba.

Monks and rits are crap, rangers took a great hit, necro's/mesmers just aren't good enough. The ele looks nice, but is always owned by melee. For all the sins, you can just use Palm strike>signet of malice to remove blind>your chain and just spam signet of malice to keep clean of blind.

Sin combo is imba......warrior is mha, ok. dervish is crap.


Teams with multiple monks that ray in a hammer/sin combo is sooo lame.

Plz change the builds back to last year, nothing is fun to play with atm and i am srsly getting fed up with all these 1-2-3 sins.

I like the Necro bar. In the games that I've played so far many Eles don't use the attunement so Rip Enchant is rarely used.

Too bad most sins don't use PS correctly. Multiple sins using critical strikes after PS

Sins are steamrolling every match I've played...can't even use the Dshot argument against it since there is no Dshot.

Best thing I can say so far is that now warriors have used all their weapons...? Really disappointed so far.

The bars based on the current meta are decent: sin- palm strike; war -dev hammer; mesmer- illusion of pain.
Rangers and Eles got hit from last year but they are still playable. The rest is crap.

Overall, i enjoyed more last year builds.

Edit: just fought a 5 sins team and they wiped us. Sins are OP, and they have too many self healings. Healing signet suck.

As a necromancer, so far the only thing I have not been able to solo is a sin. Everything else is just baed.

The problem is that the current meta is epic fail.


Just give the rits their warding back and the rangers their melshot.......and the necro's insidious parasite, that would pretty balance it imo.

Nothing can out heal a sin or warrior. They KD and im boned.

Need to do some thing about the imba.

So everyone's class is overpowered and all opposing classes suck, except the sins who are more overpowered. Sounds about right so far.

Ima liking eles this year. It's also great when 9/10 teams have 4 people sticking and working together, and then john j rambo the second roaming around on his sin getting stomped.

.. And then you lose.

Also, i've yet to see one warrior who didn't: Run up to a static target and bull's; or use crushing blow without a KD first.

Such is the experience of random formats I guess.

yea Sins are OP. Warriors are good. Rits took a hit but they are still good. Monks are only good if you combine RoJ with KD.

Capping is still useless as always. Kills still win games. Capping only promotes splitting and out-tactics/playing your opponenets.

Still really fun.

LOL, I really hope you're trolling. God forbid that playing better than your opponents should matter.

Even if you don't want the points from capping (which you should), it's common sense to say "this shrine gives my team +120 health for when I fight. I like that."

Yeah so, my skillbar is very good, people still can't split/kite/NOTICE THAT THEY'RE GOING 1vs5 and so on.
Good ol' costume brawl. I wish we could keep it.
And the things that happen when you finally get a half-decent team and steamroll enemy team by placing your cat on the keyboard- poetry.

lol get out mod and your nazi rules

Yeah. His sin beat me down on my ele. One of the few guys who actually used the sig right to remove blind. Got his chain a few times, but he got the kill before I could get enough energy to reapply attunements.

As always, I hate the way the skills are ordered. It's the exact opposite of how I play (attunements on my left, then damage skills, blind on my far right)

The amount of people that have no idea what 'time killing' is, is also pretty funny.........or sad.

15 wins in a row at one point we had to play with only 4 cos the ele left and for some reason we didnt get a new player. it didnt stop us from winning and at the next round, we got another sin. Then monk left after the 15th round and we lost got another ele instead of a healer and opponent's team got a healer so that hurts

got to love hero battles, kind of miss it already

Am loving the rit this year. Think that will be my weapon of choice. Last year I played mostly ele. The ele bar isn't really doing much for me this year :/ Oh well.

Had a pretty awesome 10 win streak before, one of our sins just randomly left 30 seconds into the 11th match so we fell apart pretty fast. Then had a 7 win streak which got interrupted when my router decided to fall asleep. Sigh. Sorry about that, if any of you were in my team -___-;

Looking forward to getting some more CB in tomorrow. God I love this format

Was really looking foward to this but I'm just sighing now. All I'm getting on my team is mesmers and eles who think they can run off and solo 3 people. People with no concept of capping, or doing the AB method of "JUST KEEP CAPPING IN A CIRCLE DON'T BOTHER KILLING OR DEFENDING EVER". It's really lame.

Also RoJ on monks? Come on, even the worst players know to step out of the giant beam of light blasting you. Monks have a terrible offensive and such worthless heals (Sig of Devotion? Really?). Sigh.

With a little tactics (and a bit of luck) you can get a nifty KD from a teammate (or yourself) a snare from your ele and you roj. Me and a monk had that going for awhile, but he left after 8 or 9 wins.

Yeah the Monk bar is pretty terrible, specially when compared to what it was last year, same happened to the Rts. Perhaps raw strong offense is the way to go.

If I'm a monk, I won't ever get co-ordination with my RoJ, even If I ask for it. If I am not a monk, other Monks will mindlessly RoJ without paying attention to snared targets. There is no winning :(.

I'm actually really enjoying the mes bar (wish they would've used physic instability)- it's fun watching the sins struggle to pull off their combo And with the poor healing skills that monks have i've actually used illusion of pain with sucess.

The biggest problem with brawl this year is the sin has a strong spike, and heal, and condition remover. Other than that, it's the stupid teamates who want to try and solo the other team or leave that will probably keep me farming tot bags instead.
