Just one thing to add - its not that hammer became unusable for ele It just is pretty similar in dps to its alternatives (sword and warhorn) Its just a fact that hammer does not offer as much utility as warhorn f.e. Thats the reason why many prefer it over hammer now but especially for tempest the difference is non existent dps wise. Weaver is about 1,5k so there it is a bit more significant, but still over 40k so all is good Additionally it should also be said that scepter or dagger are also viable options If sword does like 500dps more its not a reason to exclude the other choices if you like them more Even focus is good if you prefer a bit of more defense Regardless just play whatever you feel like with ele
They Nerfed the Scourge and was very sneaky about it. It was a huge nerf. Relic of the flock no longer cast Barrier. F4 has a rest of 60 vice 12 seconds in WvW. Healing Scourge is Still the best Alacrity healing build, but it use to be more powerful prior to that nerf from relic of the flock.
The problem with most MMOs really. Devs are obsessed with fucking people over as often as possible. Best you can do is pick the known dev favorite(s) that never get touched, or find an MMO with lazier devs that lack the will and the self motivation needed to overnerf shit every other month.
Or quit the game. That's what I did. Occasionally, I will look GW2 content but recommend playing solo RPG's with Co-op. From my experience, MMO will always have a never-ending cycle of balance changes.
