Guild Wars 2

can u make glyph of renewal viable for the elementalist cause nobody uses it due to long casttime ….. and make staff better dps…

Agreed with the ridiculous cast time of the glyph of renewal—it should be similar to the signet of undeath. Increase the cd on it but make it ground-targetable instead of having some sort of range and decrease cast time to 3.5 seconds. ATM, someone can stomp an ally before you can manage to pull it off, even if you react immediately as they go down.

Glyph is much stronger then the other rez skills and therefore they have treated it as such.
You can pre cast it and always just cancel cast it.

Well then they should drop the seondarry effects.
I believe there is a reason everybody uses it..Certainly must be that is balanced compared to other rezzes :P
At the very least remove it from the game if you think ele doesnt deserve a functional rezz.This together with the conjures and some pure pve use glyphs like glyph of storm take way too much space on our utilities..Cantrips and arcanes can keep your attention for so long

-shrug- I would still say make it more defined. Right now, it’s only useful for premades who communicate when they are about to go down. I think all res skills should always cast faster than a stomp animation. It would be cool to have different cast times for different attunments—and I still would like ground-targetting so you can choose someone to revive specifically in case your earth attunment is on CD and you have to choose.

no ele in spvp uses it and water doesnt work properly it doesnt heal to 100% health.
make casttime 3 sec and it would be fine

There are some using it in spvp and making it effective actually. Like people mentioned you can precast (lets say you’re not using any voicecom, just look at health bars and you’ll know when to use it) and even if you don’t people will most likely be focusing the downed target while you can stay at 1200 range and ress that person.

It might be viable for some time cause people have no experience on how to counter.
But after a while people will know what it does and will try interrupt you.
Then it would become mandatory to run it with stability.And then people will adapt by not killing your target or stealing/removing your stability.Which is still good cause you buy your teammate time ?But then again you dont pressure them you just force them to change their target focus which could be achieved with so many other ways
I honestly dont know if it would become viable after the intitial wtf raction passes.
Cause its like almost 5 sec cast time and also seems buggy in a lot of attunement versions..
Ultimas team should try it so we get to see how it functions on high end tpvp!!

This skill was originally nerfed due to it being used in pve to bug CoF path 2.
I completely agree it should be made useful in pvp.

Use it with time warp?

how about signet of mercy then?

You can also start casting it it from really far away and use lightning flash towards the corpse. Good luck countering that.
Either way, imagine you do get it interrupted, the rest of your teammates should be focusing on ressing the downed target and the opponent team will lose 1 dps by trying to focus you. Its way easier to counter the Necromancer ress signet over the ele ress glyph due to ele having the teleport / stability the necro misses despite the cast time. At the same time if you’re interrupted you’ll have it back for the next downed target and so on.

funny how you guys trie to tell ultima how ele works – had a good laugh

Well many players still don’t know how this utility work, even in the competitive scene. And many eles actually never touched this skill.

That is a very friendly way of saying it.
Actually there are quite some eles that use the skill to great effectiveness and therefor I dont think there is any need to change the cast time.
Feels like Ultima wants to use it, but is a bit kitten ed by the cast time.

Yumpi should definitely teach some eles how to use it properly.

If weakness gets indeed buffed then glyph of elemental power will become way to strong since it enables you ,especially in d/d, to mantain perma weakness on a target and pretty good aoe weakness uptime cause i think the icd of the glyph is per target.
That would make people turn towards the glyph traits and then glyph of renewal will seem a lot more viable choice..
We will see i guess!!
