Guild Wars 2

I’ve had this thought for sometime now and I feel it’s time to share with you all and hopefully ANET will read this. I really think the Elementalist summon elemental spell lacks in animation when the elemental appears. It’s like they just “poof” out of thin air. I think the developers could have done something more unique for each elemental.

For example, the growth of large ice spikes and crystals with a frosty mist surrounding the formation, which would quickly grow and then shatter, to reveal the Ice Elemental or something like that.

I’m not sure if people have complained or suggested something before but I can’t help but become rather disappointment in the lack of visual creativity when summoning a elemental.

What do you all think?

You would effectively be adding a cast time to the elemental abilities and who would want that? xD

You don’t need a cast time. But kitten at least add some kind of visual instead of instant “POOF” appear before me! Look at the necro, they get some sort of animation when they summon. Cast times aren’t bad. 1 sec won’t hurt.

Sorry I grew up with the Final Fantasy series and played FFXI and FFXIV as a summoner, and I loved when I would summon my beautiful summons, because they all had their own unique entrance into the world

FF14 as a summoner.

I am so sorry. I know that pain. I wanted something cool, but instead I got build-a-block toys that barely know how to manage aggro.

One second is a lifetime in games like these. They’d have to re-balance the entire class, traits and abilities.

Yes you understand! And not to mention the ice and earth elemental sound like mentally handicapped Norn.

Well, maybe there could be a one second lingering effect after the elemental spawns, while leaving it active from the get-go?

I would suggest changing “sucks” to “could be better” or “needs improvement” or “is lacking.” Antagonistic insults will get you much less dev attention.
