Guild Wars 2

Create a Grandmaster trait for each line that gives bonus effects when using that elements attacks.

Fire- 5 second of might with each successful hit. 2 seconds of burn to enemy per hit.
Water- 5 seconds of regeneration for each successful hit. 1-2 seconds of chill on enemy per hit
Air- 5 seconds of Swiftness for each successful hit. 2 seconds of weakness to enemy per hit.
Earth- 5 seconds of Vigor for each successful hit. 2 seconds of cripple to enemy per hit.

There are 2 ways this trait can be done.
First is putting this in arcanes grandmaster line because alot the traits there tend to effect all elements at once rather then favor 1.
Second option would be to create 4 separate grandmaster traits for each Element line that only gives that element a bonus

Another important thing I’m sure anet would love is it would help create more diverse builds if they used the 2nd option and make one for each trait line. People are always asking for more favorite element incentive. This would create it. Enjoy using water and air most of all. Go 30 in and boom now all your water/ air attacks have a more diverse effect from the elementalist beside you who favoured just fire alone or that elementalist you met last week who was sporting water/fire combo. This would open a whole new world for us.

Note: times can be subject to change depending how many stacks can be produced as well as duration. After all we don’t want to over powered.

Kinda sounds like I could keep 25 stacks of might up and always have burning on someone constantly even when he cleansed. I’m all for buffing the elementalist but this seems a bit much.

You be pretty hard pressed to reach 25 with only 5 seconds and even if you were attacking large number of mobs it be a risk vs reward situation. It would be pretty much the warrior trait forceful greatsword which is only a master trait plus we lack the rapid pace of 100b and it’s 6 second cooldown which is key for warriors stacking any respectable might stack.

Same with burning, you would have to be hitting them none stop to keep up the effect at only 1-2 seconds. That’s between 1 to 2 ticks so the condition would pretty much disappear the moment we stop. Way a see it fire is fire. No matter the form you should still feel some kind of after sting after being hit by a fire based attack. This would create that impression

You have to do combo field finishers or swap attunements to get might but you want might by simply auto attacking? Either I’m misunderstanding you or something like D/D air auto attack would get you 3 stacks of might every second getting you to 25 in under 10 seconds.

Permanent regen/might/swiftness/vigor.
Permanent burning/chill/weakness/cripple.

You have got to get real.
