Since staff Elementalists no longer throw fireballs, just Flares like the ones in GW1, which are considered the worst possible skill in whole GW franchise.

Why not change the name into Flare and be dealt with it, as it seems Fireball isn’t gonna come back (Ruining the Fireball, didn’t really fix the visual obstruction issues it was thought to do so, Guardians and Mesmers are the most visual obstructing, last time I checked)…

I’m a casual PvE adventurer, I enjoy combat, adventure and helping, but not farming.
I rarely do PvP or Hard PvE, unless it’s organized.

“ArenaColin
Just wanted to quickly pass along we asked the skills team to hold off on making any more FX changes until a system was in place to allow people to toggle them on/off as a selection. They’ve been continuing to work on the project of making combat less visually noisy, while also ensuring there will be options for players to pick from.
More info on this with the spring update but I did want to say you’ll see the old FX restored soon along with some visibility options for those who want to use them.”

Well, nice that they’re actually working on something that is an option, rather than forced upon players…
