Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’d like to suggest a little QoL upgrade for the Koda’s Warmth enrichment infusion.

Currently the infusion is very underwhelming and its price IMO isn’t justified. The aura itself is very weak (which might be a plus for some people, but let’s be honest – when you get an aura, you usually want it to be clearly visible), the achievement doesn’t give you any mastery points or a title and is extremely costly.
When you invest a significant amount of money and effort into something, you usually expect it to pay off somehow. And in this case, you basically dump 600g and 3 hours of your time into a trash can and get almost nothing out of it.

Here is my suggestion: When your character wears the Koda’s Warmth infusion, it automatically receives warmth buff, which allows you to enter the Bitter Cold without the thaw elixir and be immune to certain effects of enemy attacs (in the same way how thaw elixir makes you immune to the chilled effect from many enemies in the Bitterfrost Frontier).
Basically the equivalent of having the thaw elixir on you all the time. You will still be able to make the thaw elixir if you choose to (for the daily achievement and story progression).
It’s nothing huge and won’t give you any significant advantage (the elixir itself is pretty easy to make), but it will help justify the insane price of the infusion. It also makes a lot of sense lore-wise, because when you’re blessed with Koda’s Warmth, you should easily resist any cold, especially in the Bitterfrost Frontier where the Kodan have a huge influence.

Hello, I would like to say that I’ve just finished to make koda’s warmth and I got really sad to see that is definitly not the same aura as the one in bitterfrost frontier from the braziers. I even watched the video on dulfy to see how it looked like but then when equipped on my human toon it was not visible at all!
I tried to change it on other characters and is even worste like on charr for example.
I don’t understand this choice of making it smaller honestly, with such a high price, I expected at least the same aura if not better.
The idea you suggest about the buff is really cool, and it would be a nice incentive for people to make it!

I would really love if it would be possibile to make it look at least like the same aura from the braziers please!
Thanks for reading
