So I like my ele, but I’m not a fan of carpal-tunnel.

I’m also not so big on the whole burst rotation playstyle, so for peeps like me, I’d like to see traits like:

For 2 points in fire, you gain a 30% chance on hit (not crit) to burn your target for 1 second, and you can no longer attune to fire.

For 2 points in earth you get a 50% chance on hit to bleed for 5 seconds, and no more earth attunement.

For 2 in air, you get blinds, or a higher crit chance, swiftness… whatever

For 2 in water, you get heals, or chill

Or in another direction, new signets at lower one element’s attunement and cooldowns by half, and doubles all the other element’s attunements and cooldowns.

This way a player, that wants to, could really focus in on one element, and players that enjoy the current playstyle won’t even be affected.

The only way to play the engineer is to exploit it.
Playing the engineer “as intended” is simply not viable.

You my friend need to re-roll, I am 100% positive the devs will NEVER give you the option to delete your class mechanic.

Have you considered the staff zerker build for Ele? It doesn’t require much attunement switching and is the top damage dealer at the moment. You can pretty much just camp fire for most of a fight.

You my friend need to re-roll, I am 100% positive the devs will NEVER give you the option to delete your class mechanic.

What are you on about? He doesn’t want the class mechanic deleted, he wants camping in an attunement to be more viable, which is what Anet have already done with the fire trait line.
