Guild Wars 2

Can you please tell you how Lingering Elements will be fixed on 26/11?

I am tired of waiting and asking, just give us the information or tell us you don’t know yet.

You’re very persistent. :P I’m not expecting anything ground-breaking.

I just want to know whaaaaat ….!!

• Lingering Elements has received an updated skill fact
  Lingering Elements- This trait does nothing

Nah, they’ll just change the skill fact to “This trait costs 15 points.”

^the lulz

But wait that would be a useful fact!

Anyhow I like the mystery of it all…does it do something that I’m not noticing? I don’t know anything is possible!

Wait, what if lingering elements really was Lingering Elementalists and the fix is they’re removing elementalists from the game?! puts on tin foil hat

Lingering Elementalists

Elementalists linger for 5 more seconds before dying.

I got a reply from Jon:

Lingering Elements
All passive bonuses for that attunement should linger. This means Flame Barrier, Stone Flesh, Soothing Mist, and Zephyr’s Speed.

Well, they can’t even word what they mean. I am amazed.

What they mean is that all minor adept traits’ effects will linger for 5 seconds on attunement swap.

These are far from being all attunement passive bonuses.

Since zephyr’s speed and flame barrier are so useless, basically they are making this work for Rock Barrier.

Yay!

This is how you make a trait that could be the highlight of the class be so complete rubbish.

Elementalists take 5 seconds longer to use Waypoints after death.

At least it had a point. Traits like that Guradian trait that halves falling damage just had no purpose to begin with

All classes have a trait that halves falling damage.

All classes have a trait that halves falling damage.

And lingering elements is a minor master trait (compulsory) in an almost compulsory trait line.

But Hey! they are destroying the trait line, so no worries right?? Yahoo!
