Guild Wars 2

I know the guardian staff has a wave as its autoattack, but what i am talking about is something that is narrower in width and longer in range.

Right now there are two kinds of support skills.

1. point blank area of effect. pretty much requiring everyone that wants to benefit to join in a group hug mid combat.

2. ground targeted area of effect. very cumbersome to use in the active combat environment that GW2 is.

So i propose a new kind of support area of effect. Shaped like a narrow cone spreading out from the character out to some range (maybe 900, maybe 1200).

This allowing someone to support from the ranged without having to attempt to lay down a ground targeted effect whole someone else is being chased by the mob.

This in particular if it can have the dual nature of both supporting fellow characters and damaging mobs. Then it would allow the player to target the mob, and get into a good position to hit both mob and any characters in melee range.
