water magics need some buff. Some spells should also slow attack speed.

AOE DoT should also be able to target on an location as well as on an enemy. Alternatively it could be made into cast-then-target instead of target-then-cast.

Minions in 8v8 is inefficient because the corpse stealing and EoE vs MM build

I can't see many effective E/W build in this game

Ebon weapon without conjure earth nor armor-pentration.. what is the point?

Bug: vampire gaze can ignore protective spirit

Resurrect in PvP is limited to Resurrect-Signet making those monk based res spell extremely inefficient in PvP.

Lighting touch is still weak

Vamp gaze ignoring prot spirit is probably not a bug. Life stealing is it's own type of damage and cannot be protected against.

Yes, life-stealing is not considered damage per se.

Location AoE I agree with.

Corpse stealing is one of the counters to a MM. It stays how it is.

Ele that uses warrior stances when under attack. Just because noone uses it doesnt mean it cant be used.

To do elemental dmg without tripping fire/ice protection.

Not a bug, Life Stealing isnt damage - NOTHING can stop it except spells like SpellBreaker (and thats only if the life steal would have came from a spell - it still cant stop Vamp Touch).

Rebirth in GvG is used from time to time, and some mesmers use the faster ones with Fast Casting.
