eliseren9127: Syrma I can listen to you talk GW2 all day while I play. I would personally like if you continued to do your DPS/HEALER/BDPS tierlist after each update. That way we can listen to your analysis of changes and how it affects our mains. Just those 3 minimum on every update. I and others will watch those VODS through and through

pokemonsuperfan: Very interesting to hear about all the elite skills!

jamesmillar5951: as a thief main i'd say daggerstorm is goated. it has offensive and defensive use and can be used effectively both ways, and in pvp covers gaps in evasion from other skills and even the evades can be used offensively depending on how you built your traits. the damage portion is great at tagging in open world, has good range and for its duration allows you to reposition unimpeded. the cooldown is also very low for what it does. very nice elite!

MyOrangeString: I would have loved you to be a bit more structured and explain what each of them does more thoroughly and to which elite professions they're linked.

As a PvP player that would have been even more helpful!

Thanks for the vid

Lyoshiiro: Still waiting for the Day Syrma Goes through Elite Spec Traitlines like we were promised.

eliseren9127: Gotta love mass invis on HT

a_tremereandsomeblood_just3642: i am mostly changing them for every difficult situation.

GW2_Hollow: Great Video. Warrior Banner easily S tier especially in WvW and PvP ( if not sidenoding). Elementalist Element Summon Elite is underrated in Roaming and PvP. It got nerfed and the Lightning Element doesnt track invis targets anymore but Water Element is great Heal, Fire is great passive Damage. Overall they could rework/buff them to make them more useable. Evoker Elite needs a Buff in PvE Only. Either increase the Damage or lower the Cooldown.

2Times22: If you ask me elite skills are so important that they make you decide which elite spec you are going to use..They define the elite specs..Thats how important they are..Poor thieves all their elite skills suck..They dont even have stability..you have to play specter to get stability otherwise no stability at all..In solo content you get knockbacked every 2 seconds for 3 times in a row add the stuns to the mix,and thats it..You log out choose another class..!!

Naviblood: Ironically, for Solo PvE, I fully dislike the Untamed Elite over Strength of the Pack. I find the Fury uptime crazy Stability stacks etc. just let's me go crazy. The emergency mitigation from the Untamed Elite never really seems to be a desire due to the overwhelming defensive strength of mace/mace. I'm also pretty sure I'll die of old age before I see anet allow the Greater Elemental from the Ele Elite freaking respawn when you MOUNT/DISMOUNT lol.

vipanez5728: Norn become a bear must be C tier ;D It saw a lot of play in roaming to get funny oneshots :D

erikkae620: U can’t put specter elite in S tier and call willbender elite weak bro. Nahhh.

Parathion2246: Should have had an exception for core engineer. Core engineer gets an elite toolbelt skill too and that can completely change the value for the elites. The elixir toolbelt is literally mesmers moa and the supply crate paired with its toolbelt is arguably the strongest ability in the game. You have all the nornal crate stuff, but the toolbelt clears every single condition on a player in an aoe (i think it might even be 10 players still) and it drops like 10 medpacks around. You can heal up to full health just off the medpacks and allies can use them aswell. Its absolutely stacked on core.

girmo2676: grabbed cup of tea! excited to hear about your elite skills overview!

ButtercoreFTW: headbutt is INSANE for wvw roaming. with defense traitline you get 4s of endure pain every 19seconds basically (with the almost 1s casttime 18s cd casttime)

williamnathanael412: Heal skill tier list next? Or weapon/class combo?

zephyrdraco8174: <3 You Syrma

Keep up the great content!! :D

danlynch2640: i play ranger, i would swap perfect storm with one wolf pack, and even put in up in to S teir. fine in pve it just a dps skill but competivity modes and can be defensive, dps, and rez/area denial

williamnathanael412: Personal story tierlist when?

OfficeKrysa: I generally agree with you, but I strongly disagree with the Vindi's urn. It's a great low cost on demand heal, if you activate and immediately deactivate it.

kristofkupo3587: Headbutt on berserker warrior would be most nice whiout the self cc, but even whit the way how it is its yust a nice skill to punish some annoying open wrold mobs poking you while you selling yuor stuff on the market

J0kuc: Artillery Barrage in Bad tier??! It's literally the bis dps skill on scrapper and willbender

paul6350: I think you underestimate mass invis.

10 man stealth for 5 seconds with short cd and short cast time is huge.

On the other hand sneak gyro is much worse in comparison. Its not a smoke field in competitive game modes anymore - so the stealth duration with 3 sec for 5 ppl is baaad.

Hirondo: In its begining, renegade elite was one of the best ever. Sad nerf.

knightmare1442: This list is crap. Gw2 is a pve game. There are niche pvp "fun"-modes which are not fun at all. Why would you make this list about them?
