Guild Wars 2

I have an attunement dancing D/D Elementalist. Anyone familiar with this build knows that you are switching attunements literally every couple of seconds.

This means that the little ‘one liners’ my Asura calls out when switching attunements happen literally ever few seconds. “Air! Behold, the power of fire! Water!”. As you can imagine, hearing the same few lines every couple seconds for hours on end grates on the nerves.

Simply, it is driving me crazy. It has seriously gotten to the point that I don’t want to play the profession anymore. I would really appreciate it if the audio team could look at reducing these lines.

Yes, PLEASE PLEASE put a frequency slider for combat audio in the game!

I saw a post on here by a dev that said it was “on their polish list” of things to do but the post was dated 4 months ago!?

I spent 2 nights (around 20 hours) researching class optimizations and race appearance combos finally deciding on male Sylvari tier3 armor nobles boots and CoF shoulders using a D/D Elementalist just rocked my socks on joy.

However, now his constant “I AM THE WIND”, “ELEMENT OF EARTH, OBEY ME” etc every 14 seconds makes me want to switch to a human female or some race that will only say 1 word, not voice over an entire sentence as I go through my attack cycles…:(

It’s midly distracting and highly annoying so devs PLEASE just spend 2 to 3 hours coding a combat audio frequency slider!

Human females also have sentences for attunement switching:

“Feel Grenth’s icy embrace!”
“Feel the fires of Balthazar!”

I strangely like it, though. Especially if I get a good, “Earth…fire…air….water!!” going. It feels like I’m trying to summon Captain Planet.

I’m all for choice, though. A frequency slider would be epic.

Seriously agreed. It completely breaks immersion to have your character saying all kinds of things that you don’t really think of as “in character.”

I’d have preferred if those lines were actually like chants they have to pronounce in order to invoke an attunement to an element.
Well, not those already existing lines, yet something fitting.

While I like the female sylvari VA, the attunement switching lines are really annoying to hear, and as a D/D ele I hear them ALL the time. Soooo yeah. Definitely supported. It’s grating my nerves so much.

“I channel rock and soil!” “Fire consumes at my whim!” “I am river and ocean!” Yeah, I’m hearing those too often… More different lines for the attunements or less frequent chanting, like an x-minute cooldown or something.
